I have been looking for a good fertility test to see when I ovulate and I have seen the ones that use saliva or the ones with urine? Which one is more accurate?

im pretty sure the ones that test urine are more accurate because the hormone levels are easier to detect than in saliva. check with your ob. they will be able to give you the names of some reliable tests

Thanks for your input, I have had other people tell me that too. So I will go ahead and get a urine test.

I Have Used Both Urine And Saliva Ovulation Test. The Urine Test Are Alot More Accurate. The Saliva Test Also Work But There Are Alot Of Factors That Can Give You False Readings About Saliva Test. With A Saliva Test You Must Not Sure You Do Not Eat,Drink,Smoke, Or Anything Else That May Affect The Results. Also, Saliva Ovulation Test Just Check The Estrogen Levels That Are Secreted In Your Saliva. Every Woman Has Different Levels Of Estrogen In Their Body At Different Times Through Their Cycle. Estrogen Raises Right Before Ovulation As Well As Right Before Your Period Will Start. Saliva Ovulation Test Are Not All That Expensive And Can Be Used Over And Over Again. Urine Test Can Run Into Some Money And Of Course Can Only Be Used Once But They Are The Best. I Recommend Clear Blue Easy Ovulation Test As I Have Found Them One Of The Best But Whichever You Prefer Is Fine.
