started the ovulation predictor kits yesterday on day 14 and still no LH surge. My cylcles are between 32-34?

Question

days. Is that normal, or should i have had a surge already?

Answer 1

If your cycles are 32-34 days, then subtract 14 from 32, that's 18, which means you probably don't ovulate until approx day 18. Ovulation usually happens 14 days before you get your period, not after. people commonly make this mistake. Just keep trying the predictor kit once a day, at the same time in the day. GOOD LUCK!!!

Answer 2

Ovulation, for most women, occurs between ten and sixteen days before menstruation. The LH surge occurs usually 24-48 hours before that. If you started testing on Day 14, and ovulate early-on day 16, you might have picked up your surge yesterday or today...but if you're on the other end of things, with a ten or eleven day luteal phase, you won't ovulate until day 25 or 26 of your cycle, so you won't see your surge until somewhere around day 23. This is just fine. Keep testing daily, following the instructions and making sure to test around the same time each day, and if you're ovulating, it's likely you'll see an LH surge at some point soon.

Answer 3

Your cycles are longer than the average 28 days so your LH surge very well could be later as well. Don't worry about it. If your LH surge doesn't register at all in the 32-34 days then it's time to see your doctor. But, until then don't stress - it makes complete sense because your cycle is longer.

The 14 day mark is half way between a 28 day cycle. Your half mark is day 16 - 18. You still have a couple of days and it would not be abnormal if it was even a little later. Which, could explain why there is no baby yet ;-P

Answer 4

Assuming you have a 27-28 day cycle you may have started testing too late or you just haven't had a surge yet.OPK's are helpful but a pita sometimes.I would keep having sex just in case you haven't O'ed yet.Charting < bbt's>your cycles is also helpful..Not every woman ovulates on day 14.I ovulate on day 12..if I waited til the textbook 14th day, I've missed the fertile window.Just remember that you have no idea usually if the OPK is catching the beginning,middle or end of a surge.HTH

Answer 5

day 14 is not a set day for ovulation. if you started testing on day 14 that means most likely you ovulate later. day 16-18 is most likely the prime ovulation days. i ovulate late, too. when i was taking the predictor kit and didn't ovulate on day 14, I got bummed out, but then it happened a few days later. don't get discouraged keep trying you should see your 2 lines soon. good luch.

Answer 6

if your cycles range from 32-34 days, there is no guarentee that you ovulate on day 14. day 14 would be if you had the perfect 28 day cycle. i have a cycle similar to yours. just count back about 14 days from when you think your next period will start, and somewhere in there is when you will ovulate, you will find, it is not 14 days. everyones cycle is different, and not everyone ovulates on day 14. a really great site you can check out is called fertilityfriend.com. you enter you cycle data and length and it will tell you about when you might ovulate. i use this site, and judging from my cervical mucus its about right on. (ya i know tmi, but my hubby and i are ttc!!!) good luck to you if your trying to concieve!!!
