How reliable are ovulation tests?

[abcd1234]

We were a bit careless this week with contraception so i took an OPK to check if i was ovulating, one was a very very faint line, the other had no line, so both negative, is there any chance they're wrong?

I really want another baby but not until after the wedding but tbh a BFP now wouldn't be the end of the world, i was just wondering if i can safely say i wasn't ovulating when we had sex?

Well for me I never seem to get a positive on OPK's so I couldn't really tell you whether it's because I haven't ovulated this month or it wasn't reliable. I'm due to POAS on wed so I'll let u know

For me, I've never had any problems with ov kits and have always got good readings off them. However, that's not to say everyone does and sometimes it depends on which brand of tests you use.

If you got a feint line it could mean that you just missed your ov time. I tend to get a feint line then 2 +ve's then another feint line then nothing.
