Is this a positive ovulation test ?

[Wrose1232]

Hi so me and my partner are trying for a baby and I just cans of my period in November and now I took another ovulation test and the results looked like a positive like the other one I took but the thing I’s I’m not due on can anyone help as I’m soo confused 🤷‍♀️

I'm confused too... Do you mean pregnancy test or ovulation test?

I’m so worried I’m being totally thick here but you don’t ovulate just before your period? It’s halfway through, no?

@Grimbles I’m glad it’s not just me!

Halfway through your cycle, sorry, not halfway through your period!

I thought you ovulated something like 10 - 14 days before your period?

But if OP had her period last in November then she is unlikely to be ovulating now.....?

It’s a while ago for me now and I can’t remember exactly but I have long cycles - about 38/40 days so my ovulation came later in the month. Think it depends on your cycle.......

You will also get a positive ovulation rest of you are pregnant as it detects LH surges. Any chance you’re actually pregnant OP? x

The pill messed up my cycle too and it took a while for everything to go back to normal.....

Just to beclear...

An ovulation test will react to the amount of lutenising hormone (LH) in your pee. LH increases when you are due to ovulate - it is not a binary thing, the darker the line the more LH and the closer to ovulating you are, it can build up over a couple of days though so a faint line doesn't mean anythi g.

Pregnancy tests react to hcg which is only produced when pregnant. It is a binary test so if a line appears then you are almost certainly pregnant if the test has worked properly (false positives are very rare)

You ovulate 10 - 14 days before your period starts. If your cycle is the “normal” 28 days then you ovulate half way through about 2 weeks after you started your last period. If your cycle is longer - say 6 weeks long, then you ovulate about 4 weeks after you started your last period.

Normally ovulation sticks get peed on like pregnancy tests and a positive is the test line being stronger and darker than the comparison line. I used to find using the sticks for a week before I expected to ovulate would let me watch the test line get darker and darker. We’d DTD every 2 days once the test line started to look as dark as the comparator.

Hope that helps!

Hi any advice please
Would you say this is a positive ovulation test? This is my first time using them..

Also any advice on using them as in times etc would be great

Keep getting positive ovulation tests! Well i think they’re postive. Had one 4 days ago, yesterday and today?! Thats not right is it? Or is that normal?

theosmumma you're probably better making a new thread for more answers.

That looks like it could be positive because both lines are the same colour

Looks positive to me. I used to get positive ones for 3 or 4 days with the line getting progressively darker each day until it dropped off again. Totally normal. Ovulation day test will be so dark you can't possibly be confused about it.

Guys does this mean I'm ovulating? Need help, first time using ovulation strip...
