Why are my ovulation tests saying im ovulating every day? HELP?

Question

Hi no one seems to be able to answer this, my ovulation tests have had 2 bright red lines every day for a week now since i started using them, whats going on i am 2 1/2 weeks into my cycle after finishing my period?

Answer 1

The two things I can think of is that since it is 2.5 weeks after your period ended, you first should take a pregnancy test first thing in the morning (sometimes ovulation tests will be positive if you are pregnant), and if it is negative, call your doctor, as your LH (chemical detected by ovulation tests) should not be elevated for that long. In that case, depending on how long you have been trying, your doctor may want to run some bloodwork to check your hormone levels on cycle day 3. I had 5 positive ovulation tests before I decided to quit testing one month, and it turns out that I have PCOS and don't ovulate regularly, but other people have had it happen and it turned out that they were pregnant.



Good luck. Hope this helps!

Did you commence the o.ok.from the day the handbook informed you to commence. searching on your cycle you commonly commence testing everywhere from 8-12 days into your cycle. operating example, I had a 25 day cycle, i began testing from day 8, yet i became actually ovulating on day 15 on the only right day of the kit - which isn't usual of the final 14 days of a 28 day cycle. notwithstanding it worked for me the first time round - i'm now 8 weeks pregnant. in case you've been ovulating very last week, you've been bd so there is not any hassle, if it became going to take position it likely already has. If it isn't your month this month, ensure you commence on the day the kit exhibits next month. good success.

ok, it's like this- the tests detect a range of LH, SO your "daily" level of LH could still be high enough to trigger the positive line and the test won't be able to tell when your Surge happens cuz the line doesn't get any *redder*

there is such a wide range of "normal" LH levels for women, and such a wide range of "surge levels" that these OPKs are actually only accurate for a % of women, and you don't seem to be in that % (sorry!) don't worry, the test I took NEVER showed positive, but I know I ovulated... best to learn other ways to track... basal body temp only alerts you *after* the fact, so try tracking your cervical mucus (google it, lots of sites show you how) and chart your cycles here: www.cyclespage.com you can change the settings to alert you by email when ovulation is due (how convenient is That??)

Answer 4

the test line has to be as dark as or DARKER than the control line.

Most people will get 2 lines on ovulation tests every day.



Every woman's body has a different LH level... and we all spike to different peaks during our surge. Brands of tests set a threshhold for what level they consider a 'surge'. Some brands may be set too low for most women, some may be set too high.



I had trouble finding the right brand that worked for me... I found it most helpful to use OPKs with BBT charting and checking my CM.



Most women ovulate about 2 weeks before their next period starts... so if your cycles are long, you might ovulate later than you think.

Answer 5

Have you ever had an issue with irregular cycles? You may have something called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which causes your body to produce higher amounts of LH, the same hormone that is detected during ovulation. You may find more information here: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/polycystic-ovary-syndrome/DS00423.



If you think you may be off on your dates, you may also be pregnant. Sometimes, OPKs can be used to detect pregnancy. There is more information here: http://www.peeonastick.com/opkfaq.html#7



Good luck.
