Im a little confused because im trying to concieve so i bought an ovulation kit from clear blue easy and the kit showed a happy face which means that i will be ovulating within the next two days so i had sex that same day and two days later but i was also having sex days before the happy face came out so my question is...are those kits really effective and if so then why didnt i come out prego??

They're pretty effective for what they're meant to do.
Even if you have sex the day before, the day of, and the day after ovulation, you still only have a 30% chance of getting pregnant.
And that's assuming everything else is PERFECT. Meaning, you're healthy, your cervical mucus is right, your partner has enough sperm in his ejaculate, he's healthy, his sperm are of good enough quality, your eggs are of good enough quality, your uterus is prepared to accept the embryo, etc.
You should be doing other things, too. Like watching your cervical mucus, maybe charting your temperature, making sure he wears boxers and not briefs, etc. There are so many other things that play into it.
Sorry it didn't happen this month. There's always next month to try. : (

Even if everything is timed perfectly you have less than a 25% chance of conceiving... I would suggest reading up on conception and fertility either on a website such as babyzone.com, babycenter.com, or even webmd.com !! They have lots of good articles explaining the process and all that fun stuff! I'm going thru the same thing though and hopefully now that I bought the clear blue easy fertility monitor it will help me in knowing when i ovulate. So I hope that we both get prego! Good Luck!

Firstly, they only indicate ovulation **COULD** becoming. And I say that because you can have that LH surge, but not really ovulate (sometimes your body just may not do it). I don't think that is extremely common, though...more in people who may have some other fertility issues.
Secondly, you can ovulate....time everything perfectly...and not get pregnant. It really isn't that easy. Just because you have sex doesn't mean you ARE going to get pregnant. It's funny because we spend so much time trying NOT to get pregnant and then we want to, we realize it isn't always so easy!!!
Some couples go at it for a year before it happens. If you get to the year point and nothing has happened, then I would think it may be time to head to your OBGYN and see what is going on.

Like everyone else said, there's no 100% guaranteed way to get pregnant.
If you are under 35, most doctors will not consider you in need of infertility treatment until you have been trying to get pregnant for full year; if you are over 35, most will see you after 6 months of trying.
Fertility Friend has great resources on this.

Hello -- I will tell you just how to get pregnant.You need to
go out and buy the Ovulation Kit, called, FIRST
RESPONSE. What this kit really does it tests your urine
the very first thing. Then when it turns blue then you can have a baby. Believe me it really works as my time clock was ticking. It doesn't give you gender it gives you a
baby. So Good Luck!

Oh Boy. These OPK's are supposed to work. I've been using them 6 months and I've gotten nowhere yet. Everyone just keeps telling me to be patient. I've seen my doctor and she says keep trying. I'm even now trying pre-seed for the first month. Good Luck. If anyone else has a scientifically medical answer to this question I would beinterested in reading too. Thanks.
