While ovulation test strips can determine your most fertile days, they're not 100 percent accurate. But don't worry too much — they can have an accuracy rate up to 99 percent, depending on your menstrual cycle. To test ovulation, you can urinate on the test stick, or urinate in a cup and place the stick in the urine.

Can ovulation tests be wrong?

Since ovulation kits test for LH, they may yield positive results all the time or on several days. These positive results are false-positives—they don't mean you're ovulating. They can signal that your body is trying to ovulate, but they can't confirm that ovulation happened.

Can I have a negative ovulation test but still ovulate?

Along with pregnancy tests, it is possible to get a negative result on your ovulation test when you are in fact ovulating. One thing you can do to avoid getting a false-negative test result is to be sure you are testing early or late enough in your cycle.
