In your Fertibella fertility kit, you'll probably have 10 ovulation tests (pink packaging) and 10 pregnancy tests (blue packaging). You want to begin testing for ovulation 5 days into a 21-day cycle, 11 days into a 28-day cycle, or 18 days into a 35-day cycle. You can read more about it here.
You will know that you are, in fact, ovulating if your test result looks like this:
It will be VERY obvious that there are two lines. Some people think they might see a secondary faint line, but there may be several reasons for a false positive.
1. When I called Fertibella to inquire about the testing process, the woman told me that people often accidentally take the ovulation test instead of the pregnancy test... and the ovulation test usually shows two lines, with the test line being slightly darker to indicate successful ovulation. This leads many women to mistakenly believe they are pregnant. DON'T let this happen to you!!
2. You need to hold the stick and complete the test exactly as directed. Read this article for more info.
3. You need to read your results within 5 minutes. Any water evaporation lines that appear later are invalid.
It's important to keep in mind, that when you use the pregnancy tests, it's best to test with your first morning urine. (The same is not true with ovulation tests, which are better taken mid-day.) According to WebMD, you can take a pregnancy test as early as a week after a missed period. However, according to people at LeRoche Benicoeur, the pregnancy tests you receive in your kit are EARLY DETECTION tests, so you can actually tell if you're pregnant up to 5 days before your missed period.
