A member asked:
Why did my ovulation test pick up 2 lh surges about 5 days apart? which time did i actually ovulate?

Ovulation tests: I noticed you have asked this question a few times in various ways. Home ovulation tests are to be stopped after a positive result as the LH hormone lingers around. Also these are good screening tests but not definitive tests for ovulation. A luteal phase progesterone is the more definitive way to test for ovulation.

Neither or both: LH testing only measures Luteinizing hormone which SUGGESTS ovulation but does not confirm the same. You could have ovulated twice that month or not at all.
