In order to better prepare for pregnancy, it is necessary to monitor the ovulation period of women. When ovulation is detected, sexual intercourse can be performed to improve the success rate of pregnancy preparation. When monitoring ovulation, ovulation test strips can be used for self testing. So, what hormones are measured by ovulation test strips?
Monitoring ovulation mainly involves collecting female morning urine and testing it with test strips. If a positive reaction is detected, it indicates that ovulation has entered the stage. Ovulation test strips are mainly used to detect the secretion level of luteinizing hormone in women's bodies. If this hormone is detected in urine, it is in the ovulation stage. Engaging in sexual activity at this time can greatly improve the success rate of pregnancy preparation.
However, there may also be false positives when using ovulation test strips to detect ovulation. The main reason for inaccurate testing is the occurrence of false positive reactions due to certain factors. For example, if a woman has recently taken medication, or if there are operational issues, or if the urine collection is not up to standard, these factors can lead to a decrease in the accuracy of the test.
Therefore, when conducting ovulation testing during the preconception period, it is important to have good lifestyle habits and increase nutrition. At the same time, do not take medication indiscriminately and avoid consuming beverages containing alcohol, caffeine, and other substances. It is necessary to ensure a healthy and safe diet during the preconception period in order to achieve normal ovulation, which is conducive to accurate detection and better success in preconception.
