Why aren't ovulation kits catching your LH surge when you know you are ovulating?

If you are charting your basal body temps, you would probably know when you are ovulating (although you wouldn't know when until you've ovulated). Another way to tell is by getting an ultrasound done. I would suggest you to try another brand and see what happens. I also had one particular brand that didn't detect the surge, while few others did (I tested all three side by side). So you could be ovulating, but opk is not detecting it. Good Luck!

What does it mean if you have detected a LH surge on a home ovulation kit but your Basal Body Temperature does not change to show a progesterone increase?
if LH is up you are ovulating and progesterone should lower down.
A sudden surge in lh concentration causes?
a surge of testosterone in males and it causes ovulation in females.
Ovulation occurs due to a surge in?
LH - leuteinizing hormone
What happens when the level of LH is high?
When your body has an LH surge, you are ovulating and may become pregnant.
The surge in luteinizing hormone that occurs during the middle of the ovarian cycle triggers?
Ovulation
Why is there no lh surge showing on ovulation stick but cervical mucus and ovulation pain showing otherwise?
The stick may have been defective or used incorrectly.
When there is a surge of LH during the menstrual cycle what event occurs?
The ovulation takes place due to surge of luteinizing hormone. This hormone comes from the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.
Can you use a ovulation test to find out if your pregnant or not?
No. An ovulation test only tells when you are ovulating and a pregnancy test only tests for pregnancy, not ovulation. The tests are designed to detect different hormones/chemicals in a female's urine
Lh surge indicates pregnancy?
A Lh surge (known as the luteal surge) indicates ovulation, not pregnancy. The luteal surge causes the follicle to burst which releases the egg into the body cavity, it is then drawn into the fallopian tubule where fertilization occurs. An increase in HCG indicates pregnancy, HCG in blood and urine is the first outward sign of pregnancy.
The surge in LH secretion from the anterior pituitary that causes ovulation can be partially explained by the?
positive feedback of estradiol that increases the release of LH
Hormone responsible for ovulation?
However, the anterior pituitary gland will secrete larger quantities of LH (lutenizing hormone). This is actually the hormone that initiates ovulation. Then the rest of the hormones come into play.
What does the anterior pituitary gland release about the time of ovulation?
The anterior pituitary gland releases luteinizing hormone (LH) about the time of ovulation. LH surge triggers the release of mature eggs from the ovary and stimulates the production of progesterone in the ovary.
