RE: Ovulation LH surge Test. No surge on days 11-18. Normal cycle 28 days, last cycle 30days, what is wrong?

Question

My normal cycle is 28 days. My last cycle was 30 days. The 1st day of my last period was on Thu Feb 22nd, and I started testing using Clear Blue Digital Ovulation LH Surge test on the 11th day of my cycle which was Sunday March 4th. ( Based on a 28 day cycle).

I have been testing for 8 days now, every morning when I wake up. So far no LH surge. I have even had to buy a 2nd clearblue test kit because I ran out of the 7 test sticks included.

Have I missed my ovulation ? or is it still possible for me to have a late ovulation on days 19-22 on a 28-30 cycle ?

Please help.

Thanks

Julie

I have never tested for ovulation before, so I am not really sure. This is the 1st cycle I have tried. But I am just wondering, should I continue testing thru the end of this cycle or stop and try again next cycle. Is is possible to ovulate this late?

Answer 1

Is this the first time you are testing for ovulation? If not, have you tested positive for ovulation in the past? It could be that you are not ovulating. Some females seem to have "normal" cycles of 28 days and think they must be ovulating, but that is not the case. You can still get your period every month around the same time and not be ovulating.

It is also possible that you are ovulating very late in your cycle, if that is the case and you are TTC then you would have to see a doctor. The luteal phase has to be at least 12 days for the implantation to occur.

You should also watch out for other signs of ovulation. Taking you BBT is a good way to know if you have ovulated in your cycle.

Answer 2

Either the test is defective or you just didn't ovulate this month which is possible.
