why having Continuous positive ovulation test results after ovulation? a week away from period?

[Fay1984]

Hellow Ladies I have a question ,

Me an my husband are ttc and I had my LH surge a week ago and we have been having intercourse all that week and even before it gives me a positive , after that the OPK gave me a negative and I predicted that the ovulation occurred and I had all the signs including cervical mucus , however after two days with a complete negative  I had another LH surge I used more than 5 test stripes to make sure ,until today am testing positive , I even bought different tests and they still giving me a positive (ie, darker test line than the control) I have been using the ovulation predicting test for two months and I never had that, my husband wasn’t around I was just trying to practice and know them better and this is the first time we have intercourse around the time of ovulation. Am just having little pinching and pulling sensations in my uterus and I don’t want to pay attention until I test around the period time after a week but they are seriously there and annoying , I was just concerned about the continuous positive ovulation tests , does anybody of you ladies have any idea?
Your input is much appreciated .

Luteinising Hormone is responsible for the release of an egg so you shouldn't be producing it in early pregnancy because its secondary function is to stimulate the production of progesterone.
Progesterone inhibits LH to prevent egg release from occurring each month while you are pregnant so it should be switched off if you are pregnant.

I would say you are ovulating again, perhaps from the other ovary?? Don't have a clue why and have not heard of multiple births where babies were conceived days apart but as a scientist I wouldn't have thought it impossible. Maybe you're getting a second chance this month ;)

I had 2 LH surges this month and got my BFP today!

I dont think i ovulated again i had no signs at all and i usually do>>who knows what it is but it was weird lol people say an ovulating test would give you a positive even if you are pregnant , but there are other possibilities too such as ovulating again .The alpha subunits of LH, FSH, TSH, and HCG are identical, and contain 92 amino acids thats why an LH tracker might give you a positive result if hCG is present. i will wait and test and i will definitely keep you posted ;o)

On my OPK instructions it says that although those hormones have regions that are molecularly similar that they do not affect the results in trials. Even if the HCG was able to bind with the antibodies on the ovuation test, I wouldn't have thought there would be a high enough concentration to make the line go darker than the control.

This was the first month I used the ovulation sticks and even though I'd had a positive result I still tested yesterday (why I'm not sure, addicted to testing I guess) anyway it had a faint line which seems straight forward. It would drive me insane if I got another positive because there isn't much information the net about the science of how these things work as it is without adding extra stuff to worry about ;)

Will keep my fingers and toes crossed xx
