A little background:
I've been getting a "false start" to O for the last several cycles and then, what I think is, an actual O a week or 2 later. 2 days ago, I looked at my saliva under dd's microscope and got major ferning (super cool btw!) then the next day it was transitional ferning, and today there was even less. This afternoon I took a $ store OPK test and there was a super faint line, after 3 min, but before 10 min. Which means i making some LH, right? I know I haven't missed O yet from temp and cervical signs.
Here's the question-
Your body has to make enough estrogen to get an LH surge right? So once your body starts making LH, does that have to reach a certain threshhold too? Is it bumped up continually by the estrogen, so that basically if I stopped producing enough estrogen to create saliva ferning, then my LH won't continue to go up enough to O? Or is it like a gun, once you get enough estrogen to trigger it, the LH goes up on it's own?
I hope that made sense, TIA!
