While ovulation tests can sometimes show positive when pregnant, it's not a reliable way to tell at all as there's a few things that can cause them.

I would stick to using actual pregnancy tests. At 5 days late for your period it doesn't matter if you use FMU or not, most pregnancy test boxes say this on them.

What are your cycles usually like, are they regular/irregular? Do you know when you ovulated this cycle?

Also a few things can delay your period other than pregnancy, have you had your covid vaccine? Been stressed/worried at all?

Fingers crossed for you OP! 🤞

@Astronaut8

First wee can make a massive difference when it comes to tests.
Not at five days late. I'd expect a test to show up positive even if faintly at five days late.

Are you absolutely sure of when you ovulated OP?

No it's never a first wee with lh tests as I got told you shouldn't so iv always took them around dinner

Definitely shouldnt matter if it's your first wee at this point. You should show positive no matter what part of the day as you are far enough along if you are pregnant.
Did you get your covid shot recently? It seems that it delayed some women's periods. I saw a couple posts here.

At five days late it shouldn’t matter about first wee for an HGC test I wouldn’t have thought.

OPKs can show high around your period, as it releases similar hormones. Do you know if you usually get positive strips around then?

What kind of tests are you taking? Are you also using first wee on a morning?
