Does anyone else have trouble getting the timing right with these LH surges? this month i am going to try to do LH strips everyday. the only other tracking I do is with Natural Cycles and the temperature band, along with symptoms. With life and work 8am - 4pm Tuesday-Thursday (I WFH Mondays and Fridays) its hard to take the LH tests at the same time everyday besides FMU in the morning. Someone told me to try FMU since I drink so much water throughout the day, so I started that a few days ago. I got off my period maybe 8-9 days ago now. Anyway, just want to hear others experiences in that Im not the only one who struggles with finding my surge, I feel like Ive missed it last month and the month before. Its stressing me out and FREAKING me out and I feel like it shouldnt be so serious.

Other FYI: This is my second month TTC (26 year old female havent been on birth control in over 10 years).

Hi everyone! Its been two cycles, and the most recent one I have been trying my hardest TTC. Months before, I have done the LH strips just to get an idea of ovulation time. The most consistently I have done them days in a row would definitely be this month. The other past 2 months I kind of only did them when I thought I may be fertile according to data and how I felt. Anyway, I know I ovulated this month because I have been using Natural Cycle and their temperature band. But the strips I use I swear I have no luck with them. I have tried doing them in the morning (not right when I first wake up but maybe I should say a late morning 10-11 am) I have even done them the same day at noon, 2, and 5pm. Some days I just do it at 5 pm because thats when I get home from work. I have yet to see a positive test any time I do these dang strips! After all my research, I know the surge happens quickly, and it is extremely easy to miss it. Any tips on mastering the person time or technique to get that positive? I use the pregmate strps right now,I also have the cheap ones from amazon called Baby something. I have had dark lines before maybe once or twice, but it was 35-45 in surge even though it looked pretty dark! but it wasnt a perfect match to the test line.. anyway. tips are welcomed. i dont care about using so many strips a day, I just want to get that positive to figure out my timing to enter into the app to get my data all in check!

I am a 26 year old female getting off 100 mg of sprinolactone because i am TTC. last time i got off it years ago my acne came back. i dont want to go on birth control obviously since im TTC, i am not going to do tret because that never worked for me after trying that for 1-2 years. please, i need some advice on what worked for you!
