me and my fiance are ttc and we ordered some ovulation test to try and determine when i am ovulating since its hard to tell b/c my period is alil irregular..so what are the chances i could get preggo right after my period or during and how accurate is ovulation test and how can you read them?
 
google pictures i took them every other day till i got a positive and i took one last that night and it was darker so had sex that night and the next night but the next day it was negative which ment i ovulated the night it was negative it only predicts if your GOING to ovulate not that you have or are ovulating and if you are wet and the stuff is stretchy that you are fertile join fertilityfriend.com it helps alot!!!
 
Ovulation prediction kits (or OPKs) detect the LH surge in your urine which happens shortly before ovulation. So, yes, they do work. However, if you have an irregular cycle it may take a long time for you to get a positive OPK which could get expensive.

I would recommend that you start charting. There are lots of free sites for charting, but I like FertilityFriend.com. Your basal body temperature is the only free way to confirm at home that you did in fact ovulate, and cervical mucus is typically as accurate as an OPK for predicting ovulation.

Your fertile times are based on when you ovulate. Most women ovulate 14 days prior to starting their period. That said, with your having an irregular cycle you may ovulate sooner or later in your cycle. The best way to determine your fertile time is with charting.
 
I hear that works for alot of people. Never did one myself because I know when I ovulate.
 
the term is PREGNANT!!! preggo is so lazy and imature, its really bugs me! sorry to vent I am just so sick of reading this word! anyways talk to your doctor about this, its different for everyone!
 
Yes, they are very accurate and work the same as a pregnancy test. If you see the line, then get busy!!!! :)

I was skeptical too but I took a test and had a very positive result. I think I got pregnant that night. I had a positive pregnancy test two weeks later.
