Does high LH mean infertility?

Too much or too little LH can cause a variety of problems, including infertility (the inability to get pregnant), menstrual difficulties in women, low sex drive in men, and early or delayed puberty in children.

Does higher LH peak mean anything?

When the body's levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) rise, it triggers the start of ovulation, and the most fertile period of the menstrual cycle occurs. Tracking the surge in luteinizing hormone levels can help people to plan intercourse and increase the chances of becoming pregnant.

Why is my LH peak so high?

Levels of LH are low for most of the monthly menstrual cycle. However, around the middle of the cycle, when the developing egg reaches a certain size, LH levels surge to become very high. A woman is most fertile around this time. People refer to this interval as the fertile window or fertile period.

Can LH be high but not 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 therefore they don't see Peak Fertility. This is not unusual and may happen in approximately 8% of cycles.

Can you still ovulate if LH doesnt 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.

Can you get pregnant with a low LH peak?

If your LH levels are low, you may not be getting your period. Because LH triggers ovulation, low levels of LH can prevent ovulation, and thus pregnancy.
