Trying to understand cycle/ovulation

Hey so my period is due in 3 days and I’ve seen some people take an ovulation test and if it’s positive it probably means you are pregnant. Now there is a slight line but does it need to be as dark as the control just like when finding peak?. This month 5 TTC and I feel like I definitely done everything right this time. I found out with my first a few days before I was due on a cheapy test so not got the highest of hopes 😢

I’ve also heard that LH levels rise before your period too 🤷🏼‍♀️ I would just follow the pregnancy test itself! If it helps I didn’t get a positive test until 16dpo!! Good luck!!

@Beth ahh this might be the case! What’s meant to be will be 🤞🏼x

This is still a negative LH test but both of them look like they haven't finished processing. Whilst you MAY get a positive LH when you're pregnant, you shouldn't use them as a test for pregnancy as that's not what they're designed for. LH can rise before a period too.

I wouldn’t rely on LH tests to tell you if you’re pregnant. Yes, it’s true though, for some people LH strips can show pregnancy, as the tests can’t differentiate between HCG and LH. It’s not the case for everyone though. Take a pregnancy test if you want to know, if you use strips, they pretty much cost the same or close.

I had a positive LH test when I was in fact pregnant, and the pregnancy test stayed negative for another week!
