pls help me I'm worried that I'm not ovulating

any one with any help in this dept. pls help

ive have been counting days and trying to get pregnant for over two yrs

Answer 1

I usually start testing after I stop my period. Maybe about 2 or 3 days after it ends. I dont get a test line until about CD 11 OR 12. Then they get darker everyday, then fade away then I get my positive.

Are your periods regular? If so then your prob. ovulating. I say if there more then 50 days then you might not be.

Good luck hun.

Answer 2

I followed what it said on the box for my cycle and started 11 days after the first day of my period. The first 2 days I got only 1 line on the 3rd day I got double lines which meant I was ovulating. Make sure you read the directions and started testing on the right day.

Answer 3

You always have a small amount of the lutenizing hormone (the hormone ovulation predictor tests detect) so you may or may not have a faint test line on any given day.  When you have an LH surge  though (Which is what causes ovulation), that is when you will see a test line as dark as the control line.

Unlike pregnancy tests, where 'a line is a line' its not the same for ovulation tests.  The test line has to be as dark as the control line.

I usually started testing on day 10 (I have 31 day cycles) I usually had a very very faint line but it would get darker the day of my surge.  

Honestly, I never had much luck with the test sticks.  I was never able to get a test line as dark as the control line.  I finally decided to buy the Clearblue Easy fertility monitor.  It takes the guesswork out of the whole thing!   I am 8 weeks pregnant and conceived on the second cycle using that :)

best of luck to you!!
