Question

Why are my estrogen levels high during af?

I am using the cb digital ov test with dual hormones and I am testing every day due to ovulation being different each month (cd7 -cd16) Since I started af (5 days early) the estrogen line has been extremely dark and I keep getting flashing smilies? Anyone know what would cause this? This is my 6th month of ttc but first cycle testing every day. Thanks

The dark estrogen line is actually low estrogen...it lightens as u get closer to a surge. That test reads two hormones so u may be getting flashing smileys becuz of what the lh line is doing, not the estrogen.

Thank you datotagurrl, that is a big weight off my shoulders. I think maybe last month was a chem so that is probably throwing the lh off.

Thats a possibility. LH and hCG are almost identical, so if u have hCG in ur system, an opk can pick it up. Ur tests sound normal tho so I wouldnt worry too much at this point. =))
I have some posted if u want an idea of how they change on various cycles medicated and not. Of course urs will differ but its something to compare to.
