Question about LH surge

[Anonymous]

Hello, I have a very basic question for which I feel like I should know the answer, so I am bit embarrassed to even ask. I use LH strips to test my surge every month, and consistently I get multiple days when my LH is clearly surging (both lines equally dark). Is it normal to see multiple days of LH surge reading? It seems like most women just have one day or one test showing surge but I consistently have multiple days. I’m also very consistent with my period every month. Thanks for guidance.

I get that too. If you’re testing often, you’re possibly catching the surge on the way up, peak, and way down.

I always got a positive surge for two days. On the third day, it would be positive in the AM but not in the PM. I always assumed I ovulated on the second day.

That is a common and normal variation. You typically ovulate the day after the first surge day, even if you have a few days of positive OPKs.

My surge is like a day and a half long.
