hi everyone. well me and my fiance are trying to have a baby. well do ovulation tests really work? im on my 3rd day of my cycle. so i know i have a few more days to last. i last 7 days... when should i start taking those tests? we really want to have a baby. and we are ready financially. so... yea.. we both are wondering what we should do. i have a ovulation calender up but im not sure my luteal phase is like others 14 days.. so.. should i start taking those ovulation tests when i end my cycle?

ok thanks. i just need some more information on what you all think about the ovulation test. when should i start taking them??? and in the directions does it say how many hours i am going to ovulate ( i mean if the signs says i am going to ) i never took tests like that before. the only tests i have ever taken was a pregnancy test lol

My husband and I just started to work with a fertility dr and they suggested that we use the test that will give you a smiley face when you are ovulating. They are telling me to start testing on day 11, counting the day AF arrives as day 1. This will be our first month using these tests, but wanted to pass along what our dr told us. Hope it helps
