Linda asks…
LH surge and sex the day before? Please advise girls?
Hey so I have this 7 day ovulation test kit that my sis in law gave me cause praise God she got
pregnant like right away. I used them for a few days and never got a positive result. My husband
and I have been having marital problems ( not all that serious, but enough that we should see a
couselor) There is just WAY too much stress in our lives and it is killing us…figure of speech.
Anyways, we stil love eachother and wound up having good sex (omg) on Oct 14th at about 5
am. BTW my period started Oct 2nd and lasted about 6 days, geeez.
The next day I decided to take another one of those ovulation tests partly cause I am curious. It
came out with two pink lines, similar to the test line. The other 3 I took was always a tiny faint
other line and a dark positive one. What does this mean? Oh, and if helps any, usually after we
have sex and when I was on birth control, I would get up afterwards and go sit on the toilet
so…..I won’t go into detail but I am sure we know what happens after full on sex with no
protection.
It is not that we don’t want a baby, we are just having money problems and live in a nice one
bedroom apt. I would be thrilled and love that baby more than anything, but I am also scared.
Please give me an honest answer of what you think can/will/could of happenend. I trust you
guys.
Thank you

2. Could of happened hun. If you ovulated the next day and had sex the night before it could be.
Sperm can last up to 5 days in you. My doc suggested haveing sex every other day during your
fertile time. So it is very well possible. Although i am not all for getting pregnant if you are having
a hard time because that will just add more stress, i still think that you will never be ready
enough to have a baby. I am a little worried about what the future might hold, but i am ready for
a family and willing to do what i need to do to get through. I hope you and your hubby get better.
Good luck and baby dust!

Cramping off & on 6 days before period?
Ok so my lmp was June 23rd, I was using the opk starting on the 1st of July and detected lh
surge on the 6th of July. I had sex from the 3rd til the 9th of July becuz I am ttc. My period is
due July 21st with a 28 day cycle but since July 16th I have been having menstrual like cramps
but no blood at all. Its still happening today, could this be implantation becuz I never
experienced anything like this before. I always get my cramps the day my MP starts!!!
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
You could be having a weeks before menstrual cramps, its never happened before & since your
mind is set on ttc then your body would act like it even if your no, its called implanting bleeding,
pinkish discharge, if you get that in the next 3days Congrats but if not wait until your period
comes,

18DPO +opk -hpt what can this mean?
k so I’m 18dpo and I’ve been testing with hpt’s every other day and last night I bought first
response and tested this morning and got a negative and I also tested with a opk and got a dark
positive… it was light at first then got dark. so some women use opk’s as a pregnancy indicator
but I’ve been getting negative hpt’s so I’m not sure what this means? can anyone help? do u
think I could still be pregnant but its just not showing up?
I’ve also read that u can have a lh surge before ur period comes but I’m not sure why.
no I’m positive I’m O’ing. I don’t O this late in my cycle. and yes 18 days ago I did get a
positive opk. I’m currently on cd29 as I have long cycles. so af (period) should be here any day
now but she hasn’t showed yet and I have no signs of her at all. normally I get the cramps and
the sore bbs. also opk’s can pick up the hcg hormone as its alot like the lh hormone. but its not
a sure way to detect pregnancy but many women have done it and were pregnant.
sorry I meant I’m positive I’m *NOT O’ing haha
oh my goodness! I can’t type tonight lol I’m on cd 39
thanks J T. ya I know that I could have got a +opk but not realeased an egg. I just don’t O this
late in my cycle as af was due today. my cycles are normally 33-39 days. that would be neat if
thats what was really happening. really crazy but I doubt it. I will let u know what I find out
though =)

4. A positive OPK means your body is producing hormones needed for ovulation, they aren’t the
same as HPT. HPT’s test for HCG levels. Sounds more like you are just now ovulating or
getting ready to in the next day or two. My cycles can vary so much that I can ovulate on CD 7
one month and CD 21 the next and CD 14 the next and so on and so on. So are you 100% sure
you are really 18DPO? Did you have a positive OPK 18 days ago?
Maria asks…
LH SURGE LINE QUESTION! confused…………?
Funny thing happened to me, day before yesterday my LH surge line was not dark like the
reference line but prominent and did the BD anyway! yesterday i checked the OPK and my LH
surge line was half dark and half light.. i didn’t think it meant anything.. but i still went ahead
with the BD! today i checked again and my LH surge line has gone veryyyy light!!! wonder what
that means… should i check again
tomorrow??
both times i checked around 8pm… and had not peed at least 3 hours prior to testing..
my last period was 10th april, and my cycle is around 28-32 days.
Please put your two cents in

Mandy asks…
can you still have a LH surge or ovulate and also be pregnant ?
On jan. 14 i ovulated
On jan 27( 13 days after ovulation) i had spotting and i looked like it was a normal period but i
had lower abdomen pain and soreness (which i never had cramps before with periods) only
lasted 4 days .And i have showed some other signs of pregnancy but all of us know that those
signs can be caused bye a bunch of different things . and my scheduled period wasn’t due
until Feb. 2nd.
i Have continued taking OVULATION test
Recieved a positive result feb. 8 .
Now my question is “CAN YOU STILL OVULATE OR HAVE A LH SURGE EVEN THOUGH WE
MIGHT OF CONCEIVED ON JAN.14?
but that ovulation test could be reading my hcg hormone too right. cause the hormones hcg and
lh are very similar ?
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
The ovulation test could most definitely be picking up HCG. It was explained to me this way.
Imagine that HCG is a clown with a hat and LH is a clown with a wig. HPT’s test for hats….so it
only picks up pregnancy, not ovulation. However, OPK’s test for clowns, so it could be
detecting either a LH surge or HCG. Make sense??

6. Good luck!
Edit: In other words, the OPK could be picking up a pregnancy. I had a bunch of OPK strips left
over after I got pregnant with this baby and did test with an OPK after I knew I was pregnant. It
came out positive!
Donna asks…
Can i still have a LH surge when pregnant ?
jan. 14 i ovulated on jan 27( 13 days after ovulation) i had spotting and i looked like it was a
normal period but i had lower abdomen pain and soreness (which i never had cramps before
with periods) only lasted 4 days .And i have showed some other signs of pregnancy but all of us
know that those signs can be caused bye a bunch of different things . and my scheduled period
wasn’t due until Feb. 2nd. i Have continued taking OVULATION test and recieved a positive
result feb. 8 . i am going to be taking a PREGNANCY TEST on Feb 14. and i am really hoping
that i will show positive . so can i still have a LH surge and still be pregnant .please help .
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
If it was really positive, you may be pregnant! HCG is similar to LH and will make an OPK
positive. Some women do get a small increase in LH before their period though.
