Can ovulation tests be wrong?

Hi guys, Flo has been saying I’m in my fertile window and today is the last day. However I have been taking ovulation tests throughout this time and had no “peak”. Can these tests be wrong or am I just not ovulating at the regular time/at all?

My flo app was out by a week! Keep doing your ovulation tests x

Since flo goes off prior period length to determine the likely fertile period in the current cycle I would not completely trust Flo to be accurate especially if your cycles vary. Equally if you have PCOS or any other hormonal conditions LH tests can also be less accurate but still more accurate than Flo.

When that’s happened to me in the past I have just ovulated later than expected. Usually just by a couple of days. Keep testing x

I would trust the LH test hun as flow is just a prediction keep testing I’m sure your peak will come I’m currently waiting on my peak to xx

Its more likely that flo is wrong. Keep testing

It's more likely flo to be wrong than the tests flo got mine wrong in April by a whole week

In the profile settings on Flo you can put in your “cycle length” I realise it might be a bit different, mine is with my PCOS but I have it down as my average which is 45 days and the ovulation has been pretty accurate give or take a day or two but I just make sure I’m doing strips and putting the data in xx

Thank you so much guys, that’s really reassuring 🤗🤍

Ovulation test

Please please someone clarify if this test is positive. Im pretty sure it is but Im in disbelief at the minute I haven’t ovulated in 8 months. I feel like crying lol. When is the best time to have sex?

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

When did you get a strong positive?

Tested last Friday got a positive faint did a digital said 1-2 weeks which would be about right 4 weeks at the time. Did another this morning still faint…. Slightly worried about it being chemical if it isn’t getting darker. Should I be using all the same type tests?

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Ovulation test

I know this group is for pregnancy test but just want to double check this ovulation test is positive. I haven’t had a positive ovulation test in months and months I think Im gonna cry. When is best to have sex after a positive ovulation test and how likely is it to get pregnant?

Any ideas what’s happening with my temp?

Thought I had ovulated but now I’m not so sure, I didn’t record my temp on a couple of days because I’ve been unwell with a fever so it was a lot higher than it should of been
