Question

Hi,

My last period was on 04/01/07. My cycles are a bit irregular so I have been testing daily from about day 12. On Friday (02/02/07) I tested and the Ovulation test showed positive and again on Saturday. I had sex on both these days and on the Sunday (04/02/07). The test showed as negative on the Sunday so I guess I must have ovulated now? Please confirm that this is the case as I have never used the tests before and really want to know if I have a chance of conceiving. Thank you for your help with this

Answer 1

Yes, I would guess you ovulated. Now you just have to wait a few weeks and test to see if you got pregnant.

Answer 2

I too used these tests and was a little confused. My periods were pretty regular though. I never got a "true" positive from the ovulation tests, and I tried a few different brands over the course of 3 months.

I found the best way was to pay attention to discharge... gross, I know, but you'll notice that when you get ready to ovulate, there is more than usual and it is like an egg white, very clear and kind of that consistancy.

Here is where it gets really gross, I learned in in Natural Family Planning... When you have that mucus you have to kind of test it. If mucus is present then put it between your thumb and index finger. If it is streatchy and can streatch an inch or more then that is fertile mucus - that is the type of mucus that creates almost like a ladder or tunnel that sperm can swim in very well.

If the mucus is more tacky and not so clear then it is just regular discharge, not the gem you're looking for ;-)

I know, sounds gross but we did get pregnant and it was after I started paying more attention to the discharge and less to the tests.

Good luck...

Answer 3

You have a good chance of conceiving this cycle. If the ovulation test showed postitive, that is for your Lutenizing Hormone surge. This occurs 12-36 hours before ovulation. If you had sex within these 36 hours after a postive OPK then you have a 25% chance of conceiving this month. That percentage same as everyone for every cycle. GOOD Luck and lots of baby dust your way.

Answer 4

That sounds like you had sex on the best possible days. My husband and I have been trying since Sept and this will be our first month to use an ovulation test. The test we purchased works like how you described so your chances are good. But it might take a couple of months of using those tests to get pregnant. Also you could take your Basel Body Temp to find ovulation. Talk to your doctor as well they have good advice on this. Good Luck.

Answer 5

With the ovulation predictor kits you have to right on the money. If your system is irregular go to the doctor and have some tests ran to find out why. Your hormone levels may be off. I know I tried what you are and became obsessed. Once we completely left it up to the man upstairs and quit stressing over becoming pregnant, we conceived our healthy beautiful daugther. Hope you get your answer. Blessing of baby dust for you.

Answer 6

In my opinion, dont rely on test to tell you whether or not you are concieving. Rely on yourself. Make love whenever you feel the urge. You will get pregnant, just quit trying so hard. You are focusing your attention to whether or not you are conceiving, stop. I have three children and I tried so hard to get pregnant with my third, there is a three year difference. I realized that when I quit trying, I got pregnant. It will happen for you, don't worry.

Answer 7

Your dates are a bit confusing, but I would say yes you have. If you are eally trying to get pregnant, you need to check with the Dr and find out why you are irregular. I have triggered a false positive on these tests because I had taken a pain reliever that triggered it. Good luck but please talk to your doctor.

Answer 8

you have just as much chance as anyone else of conceiving, we have no idea if you did or not. wait for your period, if it doesn;t show test. Thats pretty much the only answer you are going to get to this question. Good Luck

Answer 9

maybe because you are using the date 04/01/07... it isnt even april yet, how can this be happening? are you from the future or what...

Answer 10

nope its not the case .u have done sex on right time so wait and watch do not worry.As u r irregular so its advisable to do sonogram if u r keen to conceive.....
