Can I be pregnant?

Hi everyone!
I took an ovulation test online, and it said that I ovulated around Feb 25th.
On Feb 26th, I had sex in the evening. What’s the % chance that I’m pregnant now?
I could do an early test already, but I wanted to ask first what your experiences are.
I do feel a kind of pressure in my lower abdomen that comes and goes. I also have thick, mucus-like, whitish discharge.
Are these signs?
Help me out! I really want this!
But I’m at work right now and can’t get a test.

Greetings -xx-

    Every month, you have a 25% chance of getting pregnant. Some women have quite a lot of discharge, while others have none at all.
    But how do you exactly order an ovulation test online?

    Then you have to enter the first day of your last period, and it calculates the due date for you. But how reliable is that?

    It depends on how regular your cycle is. For me, it was never reliable because my cycle is longer than average. If you want certainty about your ovulation, it's best to buy ovulation tests. You can get them cheaply at Action, and they work fine. Though I have to say, we got pregnant in the months when we weren't trying at all. Looking back, that felt much nicer. I'd only start testing if it really doesn't work out.

    It can create a lot of extra pressure, and there's nothing nicer than knowing your baby was conceived out of love, not because "it had to happen."

    Yes, that's right! My cycle is always very regular, 28 days. What are my chances then?
    I really want to, but I can't get a test right now. I can definitely do it if it's extra sensitive, 4 days before my period.

    Then your ovulation should be around that time, yeah. But it varies a lot how fertile you are. Sometimes you have a window of 12/24 hours. But sperm can live in the womb for up to 5 days for some women.
    Just wait a bit until you can test. By the way, I always buy my pregnancy tests at Action. Cheap and they gave me a clear positive result earlier than the early tests did for me.

    Yes, that's right! But the online ovulation test indicated Feb 25th for me, and I had sex on the evening of Feb 26th, so I think I might be too late. Anyway, thanks! I'll test and let you know! ????

    They say it's better to try before than after. But it could also be that your ovulation was very early on the 26th instead of the 25th.
    Let me know how your test goes! I'm rooting for you.

    Took a pregnancy test 5 days before my expected period and it showed one line... is there still a chance I'm pregnant? Pff, I'm so upset!

    Hey hey, you're focusing too much on trying to get pregnant and testing. Have fun regularly and you'll really see that you'll get pregnant faster than stressing out insanely.
    And it could be that you get pregnant in these days even after that test

    Thanks! And do you maybe know if you can use the same ovulation test then? This one is meant for 5 days before menstruation.
    And did you get pregnant right away after trying once?
    I've been off the pill for about 4 months now!

    You mean reuse? I think you're right that after 4 months you're ovulating again.
    I already have 2 kids: one from irregular pill use, and the other I got pregnant immediately after taking out the Mirena IUD for 2 weeks.
