I was wondering if I took a pregnancy test tomorrow morning after checking on webmd for my ovulation calendar is it too soon? My last day of the ovulation was on the 7th of this month. It will be exactly one week tomorrow.

That calender is utterly useless if you haven't been keeping a Basal Temp chart... or taken actual tests first.

All women do not ovulate on the same theoretical schedule. Not even most.


Its also a waste of time to take a test before you are 2 weeks late for your period... unless getting a negative... real or not will make you happy.

Smoothy is right. Unless you're tracking ovulation by taking your basal temperature, and keeping records, for at least 6 months, you have no idea when you ovulated. Any online ovulation calendar, or phone app, is useless, it's a guess, not at all accurate.

Wait until your period is 2 weeks late, then test using first morning urine. If that test is negative, wait for your next period, and if you miss it, test again or get a blood test done. If you're trying to conceive, and want to know when you're ovulating, talk to your doctor about tracking your ovulation. There are also tests you can buy (urine tests like a pregnancy test) that supposedly tell you when you're ovulating. They're not cheap, but a few of my friends swear they worked for them.

Too many issues,

1. online ovulation charts are like games, have no real value if you really wanting to get pregnant. You have to do Basal temp and testing each month to track and estimate next months.
2. no, home pregnancy tests are worthless till you have missed your period and are at least two weeks late.
