When is best time to take pregnancy test after ovulation?

Question

We're actively trying to conceive and tracking ovulation. After ovulation, what is the ideal time to take a pregnancy test for the most reliable result?

Ramya Shetty · Answer

I tested exactly 12 days after my tracked ovulation and got a super faint line. I did it again on day 14 and it was a proper dark line. So definitely wait for at least 12-14 days for a clear result!

I am currently tracking my cycle and wondering this exact same thing. I read that 12 to 14 days after ovulation is the best time, but the wait is so hard! Has anyone got a positive result earlier than 12 days?

Sampada Kapadia · Answer

Agreeing with everyone, 14 days after ovulation is the absolute best time for an accurate test.

If you test too early, you'll just end up squinting at the stick like a detective! Try to wait at least 14 days after ovulation, which is basically when your period is due. Hide the test kits until then to save your sanity!

I think waiting for at least 12 to 14 days after ovulation is safer to avoid disappointment. The hCG hormone takes some time to build up in the body. Wishing you all the best, hope you get your positive line soon.
