How Taken
Unlike pregnancy tests, morning (first morning urine) is not the best time to collect samples for ovulation tests, as LH is synthesized in your body early in the morning and will not appear in your urine until the afternoon. The ideal time to test is in the afternoon, around 2pm, though testing may safely take place from 10 a.m. to early evening.
- Remove the plastic cap to expose the absorbent window;
- Point the absorbent tip (with 5 small openings) directly in urine stream for at least 7-10 seconds to allow the sample into the testing device. (Another technique is to collect urine into a clean container and dip half of the absorbent pad for at least 10 seconds.);
- Re-cap the device and place it horizontally on a clean, flat surface. Allow 5 minutes to complete the test reaction.
Interpretation:
- Make sure to read test results at 5-minute mark. Reading too early or too late may yield incorrect interpretation of the results and may vary according to users' experience.
POSITIVE: Distinct and consistent color bands appear on the Control (C) and Test (T) regions. Color intensity of the bands is directly proportional the concentration of LH hormone in urine. The test line during LH surge is usually equal to or darker than the intensity of the control line. The test line prior to and after the LH surge is usually weaker than the intensity of the control line. Therefore the pattern of darkening of the color of the test line up to the maximum intensity (usually 1-3 days) is a best predictor of ovulation surge, which in turn signifies the release of the egg (within 24-48 hours). The best time to conceive / intercourse is during this time window.
NEGATIVE: Only one color band appears on the top Control (C) region. There should be no apparent band on the Test (T) region. The control line is designed to validate the test and should be crisp and clear in intensity with white membrane background. Drug Class and Mechanism
LH Ovulation Midstream Test works by detecting luteinizing hormone (LH). Just preceding ovulation, women experience an "LH surge" - a sudden, dramatic, and brief rise in the level of luteinizing hormone.
LH Ovulation Midstream Test detects the LH surge, allowing you to accurately predict when you will ovulate. A positive result on an ovulation test means that the woman will most likely become fertile over the next three days - with peak fertility at 36 hours following the LH surge. Missed Dose
