You may have heard that ovulation tests can be used to detect pregnancy. The answer is yes, they can! But... they are nowhere near as accurate as a pregnancy test.

As we previously discussed, your temps will rise 1-2 days after ovulation. Then if you're pregnant, you'll notice that your temps stay elevated and don't drop off with menstruation. Taking a home pregnancy test can confirm a pregnancy 9+ days post ovulation.

This implantation usually occurs 6-10 days after ovulation. Then you have to wait for hormone levels to rise high enough to be detected on a pregnancy test: ... Any sooner and it's likely the embryo won't have had time to implant yet. Only a very small number of women will get a positive pregnancy test at 7 or 8 DPO.

So theoretically, if you're pregnant, and you use an ovulation test, you may get a positive result. However, it's also very possible for you to be pregnant and for an ovulation test to not return a positive result. You might think you're not pregnant when you really are.

Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. ... So similar, in fact, a standard ovulation test (OPK) is unable to distinguish between LH and hCG in your urine.

A pregnancy test will not turn positive until there is a high enough hCG level in your urine. ... So even if you are one of the 0.5% of women with implantation at 6 DPO, you still probably would not get a positive pregnancy test until 7 or 8 DPO.

A: Ovulation does not necessarily happen after the OPK turns negative. It could happen, but that's not the rule. What matter solely is when it OPK FIRST turns positive not when it eventually becomes negative. Ovulation happens within12-36 hours after the OPK FIRST becomes positive.

A: Clomid (Serophene/clomiphene citrate) can cause a false positive in OPKs if taken too soon after finishing the prescription. According to most of the manufacturers you should wait at least 3 days before using an OPK. If you take Clomid days 3-7 you can begin testing on day 10.

In some cases, implantation can be complete and your tiny embryo could be secreting hCG (also called “the pregnancy hormone”) by 9 DPO. In these cases, an early pregnancy test could be positive. But even if you get a 9 DPO BFP, you wouldn't be able to rule out an ectopic pregnancy. You could also get a false negative.

This is due to how pregnancy and ovulation tests work. As noted, OPKs test surges of LH in your urine. ... They're so similar, in fact, that ovulation tests are sometimes unable to distinguish between them. If you have enough LH or hCG in your urine, your ovulation predictor kit may read either as a positive.

By 7 days post ovulation a pregnant woman can have up to 50 mlU/ml of hCG circulating in her blood. So we can assume that most, but not all, pregnant women will have enough hCG in their system by 7-10 days after ovulation to confirm a pregnancy with a highly sensitive test (20 mlU/ml).

If you test with FMU your surge may not have had a chance to make it to your urine yet, and by the next morning you may either miss the surge completely or only be detecting the tail end of it (meaning your +OPK would actually be a day later than it should have been, and it may be too late).

So I would say it's more a sign that ovulation is imminent over the next few days! I think generally if you see EWCM just get shagging because you're either ovulating then or about to. I always get it two to three days before a positive opk which is still a day or two before ovulation.

Especially when the patient is under 40, pregnancy with PCOS is very much possible. Even when the patient is over 40 and her reservoir of eggs may be getting low, individualized fertility treatment from a specialist can make pregnancy achievable.

It's possible to get pregnant several days before and several days after you normally ovulate. ... You might even get a BFP, but only if your preferred home pregnancy test is sensitive enough. If you do try a home pregnancy test at 7DPO and it's negative, wait a little longer.

Is this the case?" No. Pregnancy tests pick up hormones that are only produced during pregnancy. Hormones from contraceptive methods won't affect the test.
