WHAT IS OVULATION? Thinking about getting pregnant? By learning to recognize the signs of ovulation, you'll be able to time intercourse with your partner accordingly to boost the odds of getting pregnant HOW DOES AN OVULATION TEST WORK? WHAT IS AN LH SURGE? When a woman is about to ovulate, her body releases a large amount of a hormone called LH (Luteinising Hormone) LH is always present in your urine but the levels increase (surge) in the middle of your cycle, causing you to release an egg from the ovary. This process is called ovulation If the LH surge is present, ovulation is likely to occur in the next 12 to 36 hours. Our ovulation tests detect the LH surge by measuring the level of LH in urine WHEN SHOULD I USE THE OVULATION TEST? To determine when to begin testing, you need to work out the length of your menstrual cycle The length of your cycle is from the first day of your period to the last day before your next period starts (count the first day of bleeding as day 1). Once you have worked out the average length of your cycle you can use the chart that we send you, which clearly shows on which day of your menstrual cycle you should begin testing HOW DO I READ THE TEST RESULTS? Ovulation Due: Two distinct lines will appear in the test region, the test line appears equal or darker than the control line. No Ovulation Due: One or two lines appear in the test region, the test line is lighter in colour than the control. IF THE RESULT IS POSITIVE, WHEN IS IT BEST TO HAVE INTERCOURSE? Ovulation usually follows the start of the LH surge within 24-36 hours This is the time when you are at your most fertile, so therefore it is recommended that you should have intercourse during this period
