Ovulation tests

I started my period on thursday sept 22 and started birth control on that sunday september 25. I took it sunday ansd monday and then stopped taking it. I had withdraw bleeding on october 1 and I took ovulation tests the 13th & 14th It had 2 dark lines meaning I was ovuating. If I was ovulating and had sex why wouldnt I have gotten pregnant?

What do you mean? I think if you are trying to get pregnant you should really put some research into how it works... yes you have a lower % of pregnancy but there is still 20% chance each time...there are so many factors that have to line up in order to get pregnant... its not just have sex and boom your prego... its complex and it is true that a couple can take over a year, even 2 years to concieve... but this IS how it works... women can increase there chances by tracking ovulation, ect but sometimes its not enough... like i said creating a baby is complex...

and FYI You should be taking prenatal vitamins 3 months before trying to concieve so if you havent started taking them, you need to... even your guy can be taking male prenatal vitamins... they help his swimmers be their best!

So research what you need to be doing to increase your odds, along with how it works.. i think it is a good idea... good luck

yep and it can take a healthy couple a year or more to concieve, not meaning it will take this long but potentially it can..

There's only a 20ish percent chance of getting pregnant during ovulation. It takes a lot of patience. Good luck
