It depends on the individual menstrual cycle.
With the common 28 day cycle, ovulation should occur on the 14th day of the cycle (counted from the FIRST day of the period).
If the cycle is longer ovulation can be expected at 14 days BEFORE the period is due.
Example:
33 day cycle
Ovulation at day 19 of the cycle (33-14=19).
38 day cycle
Ovulation at day 24 of the cycle (38-14=24).
If you want to anticipate your ovulation this is how to make the counts. It implies that you have observed your menstrual cycle over an extended period of time.
If you are trying to get pregnant I would recommend repeated intercourse in the seven days before and (just to be sure) a couple of days after the expected ovulation date. This is because sperm cells survive up to seven days within the uterus (sometimes even up to ten).
Since the menstrual cycle may always undergo changes due to stress, medication, weather changes etc. it is NOT a reliable contraceptive method.
It's better to wait at least a month. The womans body has gone through a tremendous physiological change and needs time to "reset". Especially if an episiotomy was performed during child birth - that is going to take a bit to heal.
no. you release your egg 14 days before your period starts. find out when that is. those days before your period are when you should concive
No, you probably ovulate about 2 weeks after the beginning of your period.
Yes! Some pregnancy tests can detect pregnancy up to 5 days before your expected period, though there accuracy percentage is pretty low!
No, the earliest you can take a pregnancy test is about 3 or 4 days before your period is due.
Yes, you can take an ovulation test at any time during the day. Having just had intercourse should not effect the results of your OPK.
After 16 days of ovulation a pregnancy test be positive.
Using an early pregnancy test or EPT, you can test for pregnancy 15-16 days after a positive ovulation test, or 14 days after ovulation.
9 days past ovulation would be the soonest, but it is best to wait 14 days past ovulation.
After your ovulation takes place, you'll need to wait at least 10 days to take a pregnancy test and, hopefully, get positive results. Good luck!
Home pregnancy tests are considered accurate 14 to 16 days after ovulation. A blood test from a Dr is considered accurate 10-14 days after ovulation.
A home pregnancy test ,when taken correctly, is considered accurate 14-16 days after ovulation or unprotected sex.
8-10 days after ovulation
It takes about 12-16 days after ovulation for hcg levels to get high enough for a pregnancy test to be positive. It's better to wait until you've missed your period and take a test or see a doctor.
No. A home pregnancy test will not give an accurate answer until 14-16 days after ovulation. Some brands of tests can provide an answer as early as 10 days after ovulation but they are prone to false negatives. If you get a negative result and still you feel that you could be pregnant always be sure to wait a few days and retest.
no. opks are ovulation prediction kits. they detect when you ovulate. to find if youre pregnant, you have to take a pregnancy test

This depends if you are counting 3 weeks from the first day of your last period or 3 weeks from ovulation. The earliest you can take a pregnancy test is six days prior to your missed period. If you do not know when your period is due, then 8-9 days after ovulation. The time you can test also depends on the pregnancy test you are using, as some are more sensitive than others. "First Response" is the earliest to my knowledge. So, to answer your question, 3 weeks from from first day of last period is a tiny bit early for an accurate pregnancy test. In this case wait 1-2 days so you are closest to 6 days from your next period. However, if you are counting from ovulation, 3 weeks is more than long enough to take a pregnancy test and get an accurate result.
