Is it possible to have two ovulations in the same cycle 7 days apart?

Question

Hello, ovulation side. I gave birth to my second baby at 20.4 weeks. I had my period return, followed my ovulations with the tests. A peak arrived 13 days after the beginning of my period. But today 7 days later, I have another ovulation peak. Thank you very much, have a nice day! I'm not sure I understand what a false positive is though!

Hello, thank you for your question! It is unlikely that you will ovulate twice during a menstrual cycle (but it is possible that during ovulation, 2 eggs are released at the same time...) What you noticed could be a false negative, because ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the first day of your period. However, your cycle may be a little irregular for the next few weeks to months. I hope this has been helpful and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me Tom Samaha, pharmacist A false positive is when the test indicates that it has detected luteinizing hormone, which is associated with ovulation, when in fact there has been no ovulation. This is because the tests are not 100% reliable and because there is still a possible subjectivity when reading the test.
