Why is there no strong yang during ovulation?

Many pregnant mothers like this very much, but at the same time, many pregnant mothers also give feedback: "Why do others always have strong positive results, but I have never had a strong positive result..." Regarding the fact that there is no strong positive result, it means that the ovulation test paper did not detect the highest LH value, in other words, the LH hormone is too low during the test.

In fact, the absence of a strong positive result in the test does not mean that LH does not have a maximum value.

Generally speaking, the reasons for the lack of strong yang can be divided into:

Everything is normal after resetting LH, but the test method is wrong;

Reset LH abnormality, LH growth hormone is slightly low.

01Inspection method

The problem with the inspection method may be incorrect on-site sampling or incorrect operating method.

1. On-site sampling

The on-site sampling was incorrect, which means we missed the peak of LH.

First of all, we should know when to start using pregnancy test strips. We recommend:

If the menstrual cycle is regular, count forward 17 days from the start of the next menstrual period.

If the menstrual cycle is irregular, start on the 7th day from the beginning of this menstrual period.

Secondly, we should follow the principle of gradually increasing frequency.

As ovulation approaches, we should gradually increase the frequency of testing. If you are testing 4 times a day in the days around ovulation, try to avoid missing the LH peak.

If the mother who is preparing to have a baby is not clear about her ovulation cycle, it is recommended to persist in testing for 2-3 cycles, so that she will have a better understanding of her ovulation period.

2. Operation method

There are actually many common problems in the use of ovulation test strips. For example, you should avoid drinking a lot of water 2 hours before the test. Too much drinking water will dilute the LH hormone in the urine. The LH hormone in the body may have reached the highest level, but the LH in the urine has been drunk by you and has no peak value.

In addition, we also recommend that you try to arrange the test at the same time every day so that the test results will be more accurate.

For other common problems, it is recommended that mothers who are preparing for pregnancy read the instructions for use of the ovulation test strips to minimize the impact of human factors during the entire testing process.

02LH is slightly lower

The reasons for slightly low LH female hormone are very complicated. It is generally believed to be related to hypopituitarism, abnormal hypothalamic pituitary function, or high levels of female hormones and estrogens in the body causing negative feedback and inhibiting LH metabolism.

Since LH female hormone is metabolized by the pituitary gland, the hypothalamus-pituitary gland adjusts the pituitary gland according to GnRH. In addition, when the estrogen levels metabolized by the uterus and ovaries are high, they can have a feedback effect on the hypothalamus-pituitary gland and pituitary gland.

This sentence sounds rather confusing and hard to understand. Actually, look at the picture:

These three constitute a neuroendocrine system: the hypothalamic-pituitary-uterine-ovarian axis. Each stage of it has its own unique neuroendocrine function, and they adjust and influence each other.

Therefore, when the test paper does not detect a strong positive, if human error is ruled out, it is possible that the LH female hormone is indeed slightly low.

If you feel that your LH is slightly low, we recommend going to the hospital for a six-item test of sex hormones to see if there is a problem with the body's female hormones, find the specific cause of the disease, and treat it according to the doctor's diagnosis and advice.

03 Summary

When the ovulation test paper does not show a strong positive result, mothers who are preparing for pregnancy do not need to be anxious. Why not relax and persist in testing for 2-3 cycles according to the appropriate testing method to see if they have accidentally missed the highest LH value.

If you persist for more than 2 cycles and still cannot test positive, it may be that the body's LH hormone is indeed too low. At this time, further examination is needed, as well as seeking treatment and help from a doctor.
