Patient's question:
Hello, on the 15th, I tested positive for a weak line with an ovulation test, and on the 16th, it was positive. I had sex that night. On the 17th, it was still positive, and I had sex again last night. Can I get pregnant? There is almost no egg white.Doctor's answer:
Hello, ovulation test strips are used to test the level of LH in the body. However, LH is not a gradual process in the body. Once you test two lines that are the same or the lower line is darker, it already indicates that ovulation is imminent, and you will have ovulation within the next 48 hours. After that, the LH peak will decline, and only then will the follicle be released. LH generally only lasts for a few hours in the body, but due to individual differences, some people may maintain it for 2-3 days. Additionally, if you test after the ovulation test strip shows a positive reaction, the results will no longer be accurate. If sperm and egg have combined, the hormone levels in the body will change, which will affect the detection of the ovulation test strips. Therefore, this does not indicate anything significant.
