Fertility trackers

The only way recommend is grab your thermometer and track your BBT as well as doing LH test each morning, is the only way to know if you ovulated or not x

@Amanda this isn’t actually true. If you don’t have a sustained progesterone rise this can make implantation impossible. So it’s not as straightforward as if you get a bbt rise and positive LH test.

I would keep testing as the machine tells you to do and wait till you have a cycle of data. Hopefully then Dr’s can advise you on if any support or next steps can be put in place such as progesterone. X

Is it Mira you’re using? E3 and LH will rise together as the estrogen triggers the LH peak. You’ll see a bit of a progesterone rise too but not to high, the average for me is around 5 although this is different for everyone. Everything will then drop but in the days after your LH surge you’ll start to see the pdg rising and about 5-9 days after the supposed ovulation it will have very clearly risen towards the 20-30s. After ovulation if your egg is fertilised, it takes about 6 or so days for it to travel down to your uterus and thats when you’ll need the pdg to shoot up and make everything sticky. Its not an issue if it doesn’t rise immediately after ovulation (in fact that could even be bad. i had that in February which resulted in an ectopic as baby stuck to the top of my fallopian tube). If you are using Mira, if you click analyse, it will show you the results of other users on a graph so you can compare your results within a range of majority user results. I hope this helps.

@Barbara it is the Mira one yes, thank you for explaining it to me, I think I’m just being so impatient with it because I want to know what’s going on! I retested this morning per instructions and my PdG is rising it’s around 8.4 at the moment so if I did ovulate yesterday which is what it thinks then hopefully it will steadily increase over the next coming days.. it’s all a big mind boggle x

@Amanda I have been doing the BBT each morning too but I have been told that’s not always very accurate, I still do it but I am not counting on it

@Barbara is your PDG the purple one on the graph? I’ve done it every morning and it’s steadily inclining , I’m assuming if I had conceived it would shoot right up high, I paid to get a blood test done too private so I will see what those readings also tell me !

Yeah pdg is the purple one. I find it fluctuates at different times of the day. I think it has to do with how its secreted by the kidneys.

@Barbara mine it’s not anywhere near that high and I’m 2 dpo mines only 9.8 ug/ml but I’ve googled and apparently that’s considered high but it’s not 30 high like yours

2dpo is still pretty early. Implantation window will be sort of 6-12 dpo so thats when you want it high high. Anywhere over 5 is good for implantation though.
