LH surge natural FET

Hey pals

Needing advice and a little reassurance. I am CD11 of natural FET and have been testing morning and night for my surge. I was using One Step strips which ran out so I did my evening test in the Wondfo. Now, my morning test was clearly negative like so far from positive on the One STep strips and then my Wondfo is like almost positive, just a touch lighter so now I am freaking out that I have missed my surge. I had a feeling the One Step were dodgy. If I have missed my surge, how would that affect things? I am having a scan tomorrow morning so will they be able to tell what is going on? I am so confused and fretting! Xxx

The scan will show if ovulation has happened

I learnt over time only to use the clear blue pink ones as they were always accuarate for me as I preferred the seeing the smiley face to know i had rather than guessing from the colour on a strip. If you have missed your surge they will prob cancel till next month

Make sure to test in the morning an even take the test with you for them to see.

Fingers crossed for you x

Thanks for your advice baby!! My clinic actually told me not to use the smileys. Eurggghhh checking the colour is tricky, but you are right I will show them the pictures I have of the strips.

Did they explain why you shouldn’t use the digital ones? Worrying me now!

I remember the stress of the LH surge but the scan will be able to tell you whether ovulation has happened.

My clinic told me not to use the smiley face tests and I remember panicking (I even put the tests up on here) whether the surge had been or not, turned out when I got the first test that looked almost positive it was another day or 2 until my surge. Hope your scan goes well, they’ll probably postpone your transfer until next month if you have missed it xx

Why’d they say no to digital?

I hate those strips, I can’t work them out. I use digital one and start testing a day before ovulation on app is due. I ovulated late by 2 days this month, which is likely due to mc putting things out of sync.

Can you get one of those, they are quite cheap on amazon. £8.99 I think for 10 tests. That lasts me 3 months because I only use from cycle day 12 or 13. Which usually hits jackpot
