LH surge for days...all the time??

jeweluv · #1 January 7th, 2013, 10:25 AM

I'm nursing my 20 month old but my cycles have been back and regular for over a year. (28 days) I use OPK's just to know when I'm ovulating or about to and I often will get positive OPK's for 2-3 days? I'm guessing my body is prob reving', but wondered why this always seems to be the case. I don't want to start charting my temp because I get to obsessive with this. We are not TTC, but using the withdrawal method.

Sorry, I don't have any personal experience with OPKs

. Maybe you just have a long surge? Sorry I can't help

As long as its only for 2-3 days that's not unusual. If its a longer time, that can be indicative of PCOS I think.

okay =) Well I have regular periods and conceived both of my girls on the first cycle..........could I still have PCOS?

You'd have to get tested probably. But like I said, a few days of positive opks isn't unusual. I get them for 2-3 days in a row.

I got a positive OPK on day 10 and lots of fertile cm on day 9, 10, and 11...it has now tried up but I'm on day 12 with a positive OPK still? I've always had normal cycles and I conceived both my girlies on the first cycle.

It could be that your body tried to O and didn't and is trying again right away. That happens sometimes.

I don't know if you've ever looked at charts, but from the charts with OPK's that I have seen, it is very normal to get a positive OPK for several days. I've seen normal women get them 4-5 days strait. Now they may be reading the lines wrong, but that's what they report.

2-3 days of it sounds completely normal. =) Some charts will get that one positive, and they will immediately have ovulation, and many lucky women like you get more advance notice.

I don't chart, but I can tell when I have a bad cycle with multiple surges. I'll get fertile signs, spot, they'll go away...fertile signs(almost EWCM), spot, they'll go away...that will go on for months. That probably looks like almost a +, almost a +, mostly a -, repeat.
