Many women actually have a lot of preparation work to do before preparing for pregnancy, such as accurately knowing when their ovulation period is. After all, during a woman's preparation for pregnancy, the chance of getting pregnant can only be increased by knowing her exact ovulation period. So at this time, women usually use ovulation test strips for testing, but what's the reason why the strips are getting lighter and lighter? Let's take a brief look together below.
Ovulation test strip test
Expert explanation: In general, a woman's ovulation period is related to her menstrual cycle. Around 14 days after the end of her menstrual period, she will begin to enter the ovulation period. Therefore, it is important to be cautious when using ovulation test strips for testing. If the ovulation test strip results in two lines, it is a positive reaction, indicating that ovulation is about to occur. Otherwise, after ovulation, there may be weak positive or negative reactions, and the test strip results will gradually become shallower.
The test strip is a preliminary indication of hormone levels and cannot determine whether ovulation has occurred. If the menstrual cycle is regular, the ovulation date for women is generally around 14 days before the next menstrual period. If menstruation is irregular, it is necessary to go to the hospital to monitor ovulation period through B-ultrasound.
Does a lighter ovulation test strip indicate pregnancy
Under normal circumstances, the ovulation test strip during the safe period is negative, but when ovulation is approaching, it will change from weak positive to positive and strong positive. After reaching a strong positive, ovulation occurs on average 16.5 hours after the peak, and LH hormone rapidly decreases after ovulation. At this time, the test strip shows a weak positive, and then gradually becomes negative.
The shallower the test line of the ovulation test strip, it indicates that you have ovulated, but it does not mean that the follicle is dead. After ovulation, the follicle will survive in the body for 1 to 2 days, and it is also possible to conceive during intercourse. Because you used a condom, which blocked the opportunity for sperm and egg to come into contact, you will not get pregnant.
The above is an explanation of the problems encountered by women during the preparation for pregnancy. The fading color of ovulation test strips does not completely indicate that women are pregnant. Therefore, when women use ovulation test strips for testing, they must pay attention to these issues and not simply use them as the only testing standard. It is best to go to the hospital for formal examination.
