If you’re hoping to get pregnant, an ovulation test is one of those tests that’s supposed to take you through the process so you can tell if you’re getting pregnant. But there’s a lot of misinformation out there about these tests. Here is what you should look for and watch out for.
The first step is to do a baseline. This means the test will measure your estrogen and progesterone levels which can be helpful in identifying when youre pregnant. Also, it will show you the exact moment you ovulate which is a much more subtle indicator of when you might be pregnant than the most common blood test. If you have any doubts, then wait until you get to 6-8 weeks to do a second test, which shows you how much youre ovulating.
If youre worried about being pregnant but youre not having regular cycles, you just need to check your body’s hormone levels. I usually wait until I ovulate to do this and I find that once I’m an ovulating, I just don’t have cycles any more.
If youre not ovulating, then youre not pregnant, but if youre having regular cycles, then you’re probably expecting your first baby at any rate. That’s because you need to produce a certain amount of progesterone to get pregnant. The amount is usually measured in milligrams of progesterone per millilitre of blood. If your levels are low, then you are ovulating, and if they are normal, then you are not ovulating.
Ova-counting, is also a fairly common (and relatively harmless) test for determining if you are pregnant. While ovulation is not usually a major reason for a woman to seek an abortion, there are a few cases where it can be a very big reason. For example, when a woman is carrying twins, the ovulation test can be used to see if one of the babies is bigger than the other.
The test is also a relatively innocuous one. Although it isn’t a very accurate method, it’s relatively harmless and also fairly cheap to perform. It’s also one of those tests that you can look up online, so there’s not much to worry about.
The good news, however, is that the ovulation test is pretty easy to do and has no risk of harming a woman or her baby. However, all ovulation tests carry a small risk of a false positive, which means that the result cannot be relied on. Most women will get a negative result, however, the risk of a false positive is very small and is less than 3 percent. I’ve seen a lot of horror stories about false positives, especially after a certain period of pregnancy.
If you get a false positive, you end up doing the following: Call up your OBGYN to see if you were pregnant (even if you were not), go see the OBGYN and get a blood test (which is also a lot cheaper), and if the results were positive, go see the OBGYN and get an ultrasound. That’s it.
Women have to go to a special clinic to have an ultrasound. You’re not going to get a false positive from the blood test.
If you get a false positive, your doctor will just order you a pregnancy test, which is a good thing. But it’s the ultrasound that is a problem. If the pregnancy test comes back negative, you would think that your OBGYN would have made that call. But because the test is so cheap and there are so many false positives, your OBGYN isn’t going to do anything.
