What are the chances of getting false negative responses in digital ovulation tests?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

If you have experienced two fertility peaks through an advanced digital ovulation test kit. In that case, it is surprising that twin LH (luteinizing hormone) surges are not experienced in a woman unless she has been exposed to ovulation induction drugs for many months. In that case, each ovary may ovulate irrespective of the other and exhibit twin LH peaks. But this is rare. You may get a blood serum beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) test after 14 days post intrauterine insemination to check for successful conception. If the hCG levels are more than 5 mIU, then you have successfully conceived, else you have not.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

The second LH (luteinizing hormone) surge is difficult to explain. The next test would be to get a quantitative blood test for LH serum levels which can tell us the present levels of LH. At 40 years of age, this could be perimenopausal as well. How many days of cycle do you have? Also, chances through self-IUI (intrauterine insemination) and timed use of an ovulation kit remain 35 % to 38 % during each cycle universally.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

As I mentioned, there might be delayed ovulation from the second ovary, but the possibility is rare. Clearblue test, as it claims, may be detecting a false positive result. Confirmation can be made by getting serial serum LH (luteinizing hormone) levels now in your next cycle if you do not become pregnant this cycle. Let us wait for the qualitative blood test, as your cycles have been regular, so we would take the first LH surge as ovulatory in your case and wait for the results.

I hope this information will help you.

Thanks.
