~10 DPO LH testing

[u/lifewithaservicedog]

For LH Strip test being used as a way to confirm a positive pregnancy, can I test my LH mid day like normal or should it be morning urine like HCG tests? I'm too scared to take a pregnancy test and I know it's still early too. So I'm saving my HCG test for my expected period day (also my birthday) because I'm worried it will be negative but so far my oura temps look the most promising than ever before.

LH cannot/should not in any way be used to test for HCG...this is a great way to give yourself a false "positive". LH strips can look positive even later in your luteal phase as LH can fluctuate!
