It is now 2 days before ovulation; it is likely that you could conceive on this date.
It is 1 day before ovulation. You are very fertile on this date.
Ovulation. Based on the 1st day of your last period, this is the date that your egg is released. You are most fertile on this date.
On the day after ovulation, conception is still very possible.
2 days after ovulation, your fertility is decreasing. The egg survives for about 24 hours, and, if not fertilized, it will disintegrate.
If your egg was successfully fertilized, this is the approximate date when it implants itself in the uterus.
A blood pregnancy test may be accurate now from this date forward.
Some early pregnancy home tests may be accurate now – but be aware of the possibility of a false negative result.
If you are NOT pregnant, this is the date you will probably get your next period.
If you ARE pregnant, you can expect accurate results from a pregnancy test.
This is your most likely due date if you became pregnant in this cycle.
