i know i have asked this before and sorry for those who answered.
can fertlilty monitors give you a fertile reading if you are pregnant as it picks up the hormones that are present in both ovulation and pregnancy?
its just that i had my period on the 1st of november my monitor gave me a peak and we did the deed at the right time. the day my period was due came and went and after being 14 days late (the 10th dec) i experienced spotting for 4 days which i though was my period. prior to this all tests i did were negative.
i set my monitor to cd1 and i continued using this and ovulation tests. i got a positive on ovulation test on cd5 and since cd8 i have been getting a high reading but no peak. my friend said as i only had spotting and not a proper period i am still on my last cycle and she reckons i'm pregnant and the reason i got a positive ovulation test and high on my monitor is because they detect the same hormones in pregnancy.
what do you all reckon. no smart answers plz

also the fertility monitor picks up estrogen and lh. i know that estrogen is present in pregnancy.
ovulation tests can pick up lh in the hcg although this is a tiny amount.
i have done my homework. but i cant find anywhere that tells me if a fertility monitor can give a fertile reading while pg.

No they do not pick up the same hormones. HCG is the preg. hormone. when you are taking a ovulation tester they are picking up a drop in estrogen and a peak in progesterone. You produce a lot of prog. write after you ovulate. I would take your temp for the next 10 days and if it is stays withing a range of 4 tenths of a degree for that period of time you are prob. preg. Or just go have a blood test done; they pick up the HCG hormone better and earlier than a urine test.

yes its true the ovulation test can detect your pregnancy hormones and make it a false reading. Maybe you should go to the dr take a blood test or wait a couple of weeks and try it again. My cousin had the same thing done to her she finally got a positive pg test when she was about a month. so go to the dr. Good luck

okay- fertility monitors are great- yet your body fluids will tell if you are ready or not.
the old fashioned way- no joke- not being gross.
It maybe your ovaries and only one ovulates- they take turns each month you know-right?
Get a ob/gyn anatomy book- know thy body. Each one is totally different.,
Best wishes-
FYI- mine never worked right- I got prego on a negative day- so go figure. expensive lesson!
I took natural female enhancement vitamins and herbs and WOW- I felt the heat wave of it working, designed for fertility.

sweetie, I read something about it on www.peeonastick.com
I think a OPK can show two lines when you are pregnant, but you better read all the info there.
good luck!
