Why do I keep getting high fertility but no peak?
Occasionally some women have an LH surge that is too low for the test to detect, or they do not ovulate during a cycle and in this case they may see lots of High Fertility days but no Peak Fertility. This is not unusual and may happen in approximately 8% of cycles.
Can you ovulate with no peak?
The short answer is no: without an LH surge, you cannot ovulate. A luteinizing hormone (LH) surge can help you predict when you’re ovulating so that you can time intercourse around your fertile window and get pregnant faster. But some women may never see an LH on their at-home ovulation tests.
