    I hate those OPK's because they are so hard to read...i can never tell they are pos or neg..they should use letters..anyway to answer your question. nothing is ever 100% reliable but they are really pretty accurate. just look for signs with your body, dates to corrispond with ov and the test and you should be ok don't stress, it can screw up things too. i don't think a swollen tummy is a sign of ov, just cervical mucus, possible spotting, possible cramps and a spike in BBT. best of luck

  • No-OPKs only tell you that they have detected the lh surge, it in no way does it guarentee ovulation. it only shows that your body has geared up for ovulation. You should consider using Fertility friend where you chart your temps. I got pregnant the first month using that and preseed.

    Good luck and tons of baby dust :D
