I started testing for LH surges in Oct '15 with these strips. Never once getting it to read positive. Recording, writing, testing - Everything went on the calendar. After 6 months of TTC, I went back to the gyno and she says to get an app and put it all my data in there and it'll *help* us pinpoint our efforts. But we can't do that for too long before making the move to start running tests since it's not like we are in our 20s anymore.
If the app/LH tests don't work, I can do a bunch of blood work and an ultrasound to check if everything is working as it should down there since I am "advanced maternal age". That phrase really makes me feel old...
Insurance doesn't cover infertility testing so I'm looking at $500-600 for these tests. Last month I used just the app (BFN) and this month I am using these LH strips too. If it doesn't take this month, I'm going to have to schedule the tests. I'm reluctant, but mostly fearful it will tell me I can't conceive and all this effort was for nothing. I'm so sad...what a terrible way to start my day.

Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
So now that I have my test strips when do I start testing! I am on day 2 of af today and it lasts about 3-4 days normally. I have about a 26-27 day cycle. Any help would be very appreciated thank you!!😀
Wait a minute... Toys R Us doesn't do a drug test before someone starts working there. I was prepared for them to send me somewhere to do a drug test or for them to do one there. 😂😂 alrighty then.
Everyone I am confused...I have been using ovulation strips for like 2-3 months and I just don't get it....I alwayyyyysss get an LH surge! I never got a negative. I even got multiple BFP ovulation tests every month???? Like the LH surge drops and then rises all month back and forth??? Is this normal? This is my second BFP this month...but I haven't been taking them regularly so idk how many all together?
Already ovulating?!
So I'm doing my second IUI. I did 6 days of 150mg clomid CD3-8. I started taking Opk's every am & pm since Tuesday and this morning's, CD10, was positive(digital & strip test.) I called and I'm scheduled to go in tomorrow 8:30am for IUI now. I'm not very optimistic about this. I haven't even had a scan to see what's going on. They won't scan tomorrow because they don't want to use gel before IUI. Ugh...feels like another disappointment on this road full of obstacles.
@vikki655 So that's normal? I thought my policy just sucked
