3 DAY LH SURGE???
by Tamy__0, Feb 12, 1999 12:00AM
Wednesday was the 1st day i got a positive on an ovulation prediction kit, then just out of curiosity, i tested twice on thursday, very dark positive in the morning and in the evening... then on friday it was still positive but not as dark. Does this mean that my peak of ovulation was on Thursday or since it is still positive on friday, have i not ovulated yet? i have shown no cm. Friday morning my stomach did feel like i was starting my period, kind of an achy stomach. Is that what it would feel like during ovulation? thank you in advance for you answers to my questions!!!

Dear Tammy:
The hormone surge associated with ovulation occurs over 1 and uncommonly 2 days. When the test is giving repeated positive answers: the woman is producing a high level of LH, most commonly seen in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome; the ovary function is decreased; pregnancy, where the hCG is cross-reacting with the LH assay; bad kit; not following directions for kit.
