How to test ovulation period test paper?
Ovulation test paper
Healthy women ovulate once every menstrual cycle, and the peak of luteinizing hormone (LH) in their urine occurs 24-48 hours before ovulation. Ovulation test strips can roughly determine ovulation timing based on the time of peak occurrence. When the ovulation test strip shows a positive result, arranging for sexual intercourse increases the chances of conception. Due to the convenience and high accuracy of ovulation test strips, many couples preparing for pregnancy are willing to use them. There are many brands sold in pharmacies, but the principles are the same. It is recommended to purchase more than ten at once, as continuous testing results are the most accurate.
Usage of ovulation test paper
Urine testing should start around the third day after the end of menstruation, and continue for the next few days. Before testing, drink less water for at least 2 hours to avoid diluting urine and affecting the test results.
Insert a section of ovulation test paper with an arrow detection line into the collected clean urine, taking care not to exceed the MAX marking line or be too shallow, and try to approach the MAX marking line as much as possible.
The test strip is immersed in urine for about 3 seconds, and the urine appears red as it climbs up along the test strip before being removed.
Observe the test results within 30 minutes after 10 minutes. If the test paper dries completely after more than 30 minutes, it is easy to misjudge. Try to read the test results according to the specified time.
The C-line is the control line, and the T-line is the detection line. If the test strip shows the C line and T line, and both lines are equally dark, or even the T line is darker than the C line, it means the test result is positive and ovulation will occur within 24-48 hours.
If the test strip only shows a C line or a T line with a significantly lighter color than the C line, it means the test result is negative and ovulation day has not yet arrived. It is necessary to continue testing every day from now on.
If no identification line is displayed in the test strip, or only the T line is displayed without the C line, it indicates that the test strip is invalid. Please replace the test strip and retest.
Precautions for use
Although ovulation test results are relatively accurate, they are sometimes affected by other medications. If several consecutive menstrual cycles fail to prepare for pregnancy, please relax, ensure sufficient rest, proper nutrition, adjust your physical condition in a timely manner, and seek help from a doctor if necessary. May every couple have a successful pregnancy!
