A member asked:

I got an lh surge and the next day my period came. why would ovulation predictor stick show a surge one day before my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thats how it works: THAT is the correct and physiologically normal way the menstrual cycle works. At about day 14 there is an LH surge and this causes ovulation to occur. Dont worry. If you are trying to fall pregnant this is a good time to have sexual intercourse! thanks
