Can an ovulation detector strip be wrong (false positive)?

Question

I'm just really confused how I could ovulate this early in my cycle (I just stopped bleeding and my cycle is usually 40-50 days long). I had a lot of EWCM, so I decided to test early, and both yesterday and today the LH Urine strip test came back positive for ovulation. Has anyone used one and had it be wrong? How acurate is this?

Yes, I followed the directions exactly, I actually did two yesterday to be sure the results were the same each time. I chart my BBT, but because I'm still BFing my daughter, it gets kinda wacky. I'd like to know more about what you are talking about with the bleeding or whatever, I've never heard of that. This is SO confusing with such long cycles, several times during my cycle I get EWCM and my sex drive is the highest right after my period ends. I also cramped really bad earlier today. Any help is appreciated, I'm SO CONFUSED!

Answer 1

No, the test cannot detect lh in your urine if it isn't there. Now, that being said, it is possible to get a pos. opk and not ovulate. Since you have such long cycles your body probably gears up to ovulate--by increasing lh levels--but doesn't for some reason a few times each cycle. You may want to consider charting your basal body temps to verify if you even are ovulating--with such long cycles it's possible you are having anovulatory bleeding and not actually ovulating.

so which you have taken one individual and generalised approximately hundreds of thousands of Jews...? i presumed you have been quite brighter than that, D. the relatively answer is the different. Jews are continually very reluctant to accuse every person of anti semitism, because of the fact to us this is a severe accusation. i might say 8 cases out of ten, if we alledge anti semitism, we are good. definite, there are *occasional* examples of hyper sensitivity - yet whats up, blame that on 1000's of years OF rabid hatred in the direction of us.
