Patient's question:
Hello, on the 15th, I tested positive with an ovulation test as weakly positive, 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's almost no egg white discharge.Doctor's answer:
Hello, an ovulation test strip measures the LH levels in the body, but 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 within the next 48 hours. Subsequently, the LH peak will decline, and the follicle will then be released. LH generally only lasts for a few hours in the body, varying by individual, with some maintaining 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 hormonal levels in the body will change, which will affect the detection of the ovulation test strip. Therefore, this does not provide any meaningful information.
