Ovulation Test Strip (OPK)
Ovulation test helps you in finding out the possible ovulation period in advance, by knowing the LH hormone levels. Ovulation tests are gaining popularity through the use of ovulation calendars or predictor kits. Ovulation test kit measure the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. Immediately prior to ovulation, the body produces a large amount of Luteinizing hormone (LH), which is known as the “LH surge” that is detected in the LH One Step Ovulation Test.
About The Test:
The LH One Step Ovulation Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of Luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine to aid in the detection of ovulation. Laboratory studies have shown that the sensitivity of the LH One Step Ovulation Test is 20-100 mIU/mL and the accuracy is 99%.
The LH One Step Ovulation Test Device is a complete system to help you predict the time of ovulation and peak fertility. The LH Ovulation Test Device detects the LH surge in urine, signaling that ovulation is likely to occur in the next 24-36 hours. It is important to know that some infertility treatment medications, such as menotropin and danazol, may affect the test result.
A positive result means the specimen contains the level of LH that would indicate you are beginning to ovulate. You can assume that you will ovulate within 24-36 hours. A negative result means that no LH surge has been detected and you should continue daily testing. Not every woman ovulates mid-cycle therefore you may not see a positive result during the first 5 days of testing. One should continue testing with the LH One Step Ovulation Test Device until the result is found.
Ovulation Test Strips
Ovulation test strips are used by filling a sterile container with urine, and then dipping the strip into the container for a certain period of time, usually about 30 seconds. After the time is up, the strip is then set down for an average of five minutes. The color band on the strip will indicate whether you are ovulating or not, and the bolder the color, the closer you are to ovulation.
Midstream Ovulation Tests
Midstream ovulation tests work similarly to the way that traditional home pregnancy tests works. To use a midstream test, the test is positioned underneath of you while urinating. The test is then set down for an average of two to five minutes. The results are also displayed similar to the way a pregnancy test results show, and indicate whether or not you are ovulating.
Both types of ovulation tests work by testing the LH level in your tested urine. A surge in your LH levels indicates you are ovulating at the time the test is taken, and this means that it is the best time for you to attempt conception. Since LH is always present in the body, a faint color band does not indicate positive results; the darker the band, the closer you are to ovulation, and when the band matches or is darker than the color of the color band on the test, you know you have a positive result.
These types of ovulation tests meant to be used at home are incredibly affordable and very accurate, with a rate of 99% accuracy. Both types of ovulation tests work equally well and are about the same price, so the decision on which test is right for you is based on how you prefer to test yourself.
Used correctly, both types of ovulation tests can be a great tool in assisting you achieve conception. While testing every day, a few times a day can be burdensome, the tests can be used in conjunction with a cycle monitor that helps you determine when you are most likely to ovulate to cut down on the amount of testing you need to.
Procedure to Use:
1. Allow the test device, urine specimen and/or controls to equilibrate to room temperature (15-30°C) prior to testing.
2. Determine the day you will begin testing.
3. Remove the test device from the sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
4. Place the test device on a clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of urine (approx. 100μL) to the specimen well (S) of the test device, and then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S).
5. Start the timer and wait for the red line(s) to appear. The result should be read in 5 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 10 minutes.
The LH One Step Ovulation Test will help you to determine whether the ovulation is about to occur or not as per the specifications. This will help you to pin down the possible conceivable time periods or helpful to avoid unwanted pregnancy.
Important: The LH surge and ovulation may not occur in all cycles.
