Actually, they work on a chemical reaction with urine, so they cannot be used again. It is better to keep two fresh kits handy just in case.

I used ovulation tracker apps to log my periods, and they are super helpful! Conception happens within 24 hours of ovulation, which is usually mid-cycle. Try using an app like Flo to find your peak fertile days, it makes tracking so much easier.

Unless you have a magical crystal ball, those toothpaste and salt tests don't work, haha! Save your toothpaste and just buy a cheap test kit from the chemist.

Realistically, it can take anywhere from a few months to a year for a healthy couple. Since we both had busy work schedules, tracking ovulation was a huge time-saver. Don't worry if it doesn't happen instantly, just plan your fertile days.

Beta, this is a serious thing. No home remedies work here; if you have severe side pain, go straight to the hospital.
