Is it possible to get a positive LH surge for 5 days in a row?

Question

I have been taking ovulation kits to know when I will be ovulating and for the past 5 days, the tests have shown the LH surge. The directions explain that you are supposed to surge one or maybe two days in a row each month. Why am I surging for 5 days!! Does that just mean I am extremely fertile? I was recently pregnant and gave birth at 16 weeks pregnant in July. I know that women are more fertile after being pregnant or giving birth. Is this the reason for this?? Thanks!!

Really?? How can a positive LH mean pregnancy? I thought the OPK's and the pregnancy tests test for two different hormones? Last period was Oct 7th so I don't think I could be pregnant. Although, the period only lasted for 3 days. Hmmmm.

Answer 1

No, you can be fertile for 5-6 days in a row but you only ovulate 2 of those days, that's why the say to have intercourse for the 5-6 days that you are fertile because his sperm lives in there up to 5 days so if you have sex while you are fertile when you are ovulating you have a much better chance of getting pregnant. Try this web-site this is what my husband and I are using...www.ovulation-calendar.com it has helped us out in understanding the way a woman's body works.

Answer 2

I had the same thing happen to me. I had a DC and was told that the ovualtion kit shows positive because I still have the hormones from when I was pregnant. Mine showed positive 10 days and I finally stopped using the kit. Since you had a mc in July I would assume those hormones should not still be in your system. Another explanation I have heard is that maybe your egg is just "having a hard time getting out of the gate". I have also heard women are more fertile after being pregnant.

Answer 3

I would take a pregnancy test... a + OPK for so long can indicate a pregnancy... A women I talk to on babyzone has had this just happen to her and found out she is 7 weeks.
