Carol asks…
Is it possible to get a positive LH surge for 5 days in a row?
I have been taking ovulation kits to know when I will be ovulating and for the past 5 days, the
tests have shown the LH surge. The directions explain that you are supposed to surge one or
maybe two days in a row each month. Why am I surging for 5 days!! Does that just mean I am
extremely fertile? I was recently pregnant and gave birth at 16 weeks pregnant in July. I know
that women are more fertile after being pregnant or giving birth. Is this the reason for this??
Thanks!!
Really?? How can a positive LH mean pregnancy? I thought the OPK’s and the pregnancy
tests test for two different hormones? Last period was Oct 7th so I don’t think I could be
pregnant. Although, the period only lasted for 3 days. Hmmmm.
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
No, you can be fertile for 5-6 days in a row but you only ovulate 2 of those days, that’s why the
say to have intercourse for the 5-6 days that you are fertile because his sperm lives in there up
to 5 days so if you have sex while you are fertile when you are ovulating you have a much
better chance of getting pregnant. Try this web-site this is what my husband and I are
using…www.ovulation-calendar.com it has helped us out in understanding the way a woman’s
body works.

When should you have intercourse when you see a LH surge?
I have been trying to conceive for going on my 2nd month now. I use a OPK LK stick every
evening when I get home from work. The night before last I noticed a slighly darker line then
usual. Then lastnight, I noticed an obvious positive LH surge. The test line was as dark as the
control line. My husband and I had intercourse lastnight. Was this too soon? I also checked my
LH surge again this morning, and it was still positive. I am going to check it tonight to see what
the results will be. How long do you usually have an LH surge for? Anyway, how soon should
you have intercourse after seeing a positive LH surge? Any answers would be appreciated!
Thanks so much! Also, has anyone ever used a Ovuscope? (the saliva test for ovulation) I also
use one of those, and have never had a positive result with it. It has always been negative.
Thanks again.
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
When you get your positive on your OPK it usually means you are going to ovulate in about
24-36 hours but beware that your body can surge at anytime during your cycle and sometimes
you can get a + on your OPK but the surge could not be strong enough to release the egg to be
possibly fertilized, that is what is going on with me, I had a positive OPK on the 30th and bd’ed
two days before and the day of and two days afterwards even though that one was too late, but
now my temps are going back up indicating another surge about to happen which could mean
either I didn’t ovulate when I got the + OPK or that I am ovulating again or that i am going into
another higher surge which could possibly indicate pregnancy. I would invest in a basal body
thermometer you can get one at wal mart for about 10 bucks or so and go and join fertility

3. friend.com and it will help you chart your temperatures but make sure you take your temps at
the same exact time every morning or the results could be inconclusive also charting could take
a couple of months to get the hang of so don’t get discouraged your best bet is to baby dance
every other day for a month and don’t make it like a chore have fun with it and make love
because you love each other and let making a baby be a pleasant surprise. Best of luck to you
hun and I wish you all the best
Linda asks…
Does an LH surge mean you are about to ovulate or you have
already?
I think I keep phrasing my question wrong. If my urine test indicated that I had an LH surge on
Friday. Doesn’t this mean my husband and I should have had sex that day? I was under the
impression that means you are ABOUT to ovulate. Does it mean you ARE ovulating and you
may have missed the window?? I’m confused. We had sex Tuesday, Friday morning, and
Saturday afternoon. Friday morning was when my stick indicated an LH surge. Can someone
straighten me out?? Thanks a ton! Any infor is appreciated!
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
The LH surge comes right before you ovulate. So sex the day that turns positive is great.

4. Lisa asks…
Is it possible to ovulate three days after LH surge?
I had a positive LH surge on Friday and Saturday. It is now Tuesday and I am just now getting
the cramping I usually get when I ovulate. Is it possible to ovulate so long after the LH surge?
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
Yes, usually it happens 24-48 hours after you LH surge, but it can happen 3 days after. Also,
sometimes women cramp a little the day after they ovulate

5. I tested for LH surge Monday the 17th, do you think I should still
have intercourse today and tomorrow?
I know that sounds silly but we had sex sunday before I detected LH surge and then the 2 days
after. Am I still fertile? Should we still be trying????
we did have sex the day before I detected surge, NOT the day of BUT the two days after that
so I think im in good shape.. atleast I hope!
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
Okay i think this has to be the easiest 2 points ever on yahoo answers.okay you got a surge on
the 17th? Why would you wait now to have sex? You should have done it the day of, the next
day and the last day of the negative surge.right now your chances are super low.i hope i could
help.
Helen asks…
Is it possible to ovulate and not detect an LH surge?
Ive been taking clomid and had a follow up ultrasound this past monday. The doctor detected
5/6
6. two follicles that are just about to be released. He said I should ovulate sometime this week. I
know the week isnt over yet, but still no LH surge….Any thoughts?
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
I mean it’s probably possible you may not be doing the tests right or maybe their faulty. But
again wait the week out… And see!
Good Luck
