Nowadays, many couples decide to have only one baby, so in order to conceive a healthy baby, they cannot get pregnant casually. It is necessary to determine the quality of eggs and sperm, and also to seize the ovulation period for sexual intercourse, and use test strips to measure ovulation status. So, how do test strips measure follicles?
The correct use of ovulation test strips can ensure the accuracy of measurement results. Therefore, it is necessary to master the testing time, selected samples, and data reading, etc. The detailed content is as follows:
1. Choose the time period for using ovulation test strips
Women with regular menstrual cycles usually ovulate about 14 days before their next menstrual cycle. Therefore, if ovulation is easy to conceive two to three days before ovulation and one to two days after ovulation, ovulation test strips can be used for monitoring, usually requiring uninterrupted testing for five days.
2. Do not use morning urine for testing
Ovulation testing and urine collection should be done after 10am and then until 8pm, which is the best time. It is recommended to choose urine testing at the same time as much as possible. Do not use urine for the first time in the morning, as the LH value in urine cannot represent the actual value after a night of accumulation, so it is best not to use it. Furthermore, one should not drink too much water in the two hours before the test to avoid dilution of luteinizing hormone in urine, which may lead to inaccurate test results.
3. Read the results within the time indicated in the instructions for use
When using ovulation test strips, it is necessary to read the instructions first, and the results should be read within the specified time. Results that exceed the specified time are invalid.
