Could I be pregnant?

[User88886655]

Hi guys! So I had unprotected sex while I was ovulating almost 2 weeks ago. I have PCOS so my fertility isn’t the greatest. I found out I was ovulating because I took a ovulation test and it was positive. I took a ovulation test every day until it stopped coming up positive(Thursday I started getting negative ovulation tests). I decided to take another one tonight and I got two positive ovulation tests. I usually get symptoms of my period like bad cramps and sore breast by now but I haven’t had either. I do feel nauseous and I have vivid dreams. Could I be pregnant?

Hi there,

I could be wrong but from years of ovulation testing and research, just from reading your post it sounds like your body had geared up for ovulation and then it didn't happen and so your body is reattempting ovulation again. Particularly as you have PCOS, it increases chances, although doesn't guarantee ovulation issues.

If you're TTC now is the best time for sex since you had positive ovulation tests last night. If you haven't already done so, I'd get a blood test from GP to confirm whether you're definitely ovulating or not. These at home tests only show a spike/surge of LH, the hormone that spikes before ovulation but unfortunately doesn't prove your body is releasing an egg which a blood test can determine more accurately.

Also - apologies if I've misunderstood your post vs your photo but if they are all ovulation tests in the photo then they're all negative.

If you think you're pregnant then wait until the day you expected your period to arrive and do a pregnancy test. Xx

I would agree with LizzeBW, if these are ovulation tests they're all negative, with pregnancy tests a faint line is a positive, with an ovulation test, the line has to be as dark as the control line to be classed as a positive.However the positive window for ovulation is small and is easily missed with ovulation tests, so there is still a chance you may have ovulated and be pregnant.

If you think you could be pregnant then I'd recommend taking a pregnancy tests when you think your period is due, if it's been about 2 weeks a year should be able to detect pregnancy hormone if you use your first morning wee to test with.
