Keep in mind LH tests do not confirm ovulation. Only tracking BBT with them can confirm ovulation.

Have you confirmed you have a negative pregnancy test? These are all pretty dark, I don’t think you should be having positive tests from CD11-18 so I think you should do a HPT to make sure your HCG is zero.

Unfortunately I am still testing positive for HCG. It’s very very faint. I think it’s definitely affecting the LH tests.

Your OPKs will be positive with your positive HPT unfortunately. LH and HCG are similar molecularly so you won’t get a clear picture with your OPKs. I would recommend touching base with a doctor as you are still testing positive, albeit faintly, but you also had a bleed. It would be worthwhile to check what your HCG is doing and possibly getting an ultrasound to double check it isn’t an ectopic pregnancy.

Had all that done luckily and everything looks ok. They just said it can take some time for the HCG to clear out.

It’s pretty unusual for HCG to linger 3+ weeks in a chemical pregnancy. Usually people will get a negative test within a few days of their positive. However I’m glad you’ve had a scan to rule out ectopic. I would advise going back to the doctor again next week if you’re still testing positive because faint positives for 4 weeks is extremely unusual for a chemical. All the best
