Ovulation Test Showed Positive For Four Days And Showed Negative Nextday And Showed Positive Again Next Day. Reason?

Okay, I have an important question about my lh surges and ovulating. I started my cycle on June 3 and it ended on the 7th with still some spots on the 8th. I started taking Answer Ovulation test strips on the 10. On the 10th and 11th I got a negative result. On the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th I got all positive results. On the 16th, I got a negative result, but them today on the 17th, I tested and got another positive result. I'm not quite understanding this. I was on clomid a few months back, but have been off of it for three months now this month. Have I ovulated twice or have I ovulated at all? Could I have released a second egg since the negative on the 16th was in a 24 hour time of the next positive I got on the 17th? Any advice will help me a lot!! Thanks!

Hi,
Lh surge+ ve , is when there is a sudden,rise in a woman's system of Leutinising harmone. It is 12 to 48 hrs before ovulation. so by using ovulation predictor kit LH surge can be noticed,Once it comes +ve the woman knows ovulation can be any time within next 2 days. for coception is possible with an intercourse 36 hrs before or 36 hrs after the ovulation.
Now, your problem of irregular levels Those may be because of following errors in testing.
* The time of test must be at a fixed time every day.-because LH levels varies in 24 Hrs.
* one should not conduct the test within 1 to 2.5 hrs of consuming liquids -because liquids dilute the LH
Please understand these facts , confirm your ovarian condition after stopping Clomid .( get a sonography to know weather PCOD is ruled out & I would suggest an ovulation study to confirm normal ovarian function.
Pl. don't worry a close observation & expert's advice will help you in conceiving.
Thank you.
