Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. The egg then passes into the fallopian tube where it is ready to be fertilized. In order for pregnancy to occur, the egg must be fertilized by sperm within 24 hours after its release. Immediately prior to ovulation, the body produces a large amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) which triggers the release of a ripened egg from the ovary. This “LH surge” usually takes place in the middle of the menstrual cycle.1

The LH One Step Ovulation Test Strip (Urine) is a complete system to help predict the time of ovulation, and peak fertility. It is during this fertile time that pregnancy is most likely to occur.

The LH One Step Ovulation Test Strip (Urine) detects the LH surge in urine, signaling that ovulation is likely to occur in the next 24-36 hours. The test utilizes a combination of antibodies including a monoclonal LH antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of LH.Important: The LH surge and ovulation may not occur in all cycles.

The test contains anti-LH particles and anti-LH antibody coated on the membrane.

A procedural control is included in the test. A colored line appearing in the control line region (C) is an internal procedural control. It confirms sufficient specimen volume, adequate membrane wicking and correct procedural technique.

A positive result indicates that the urine specimen contains the level of LH that would indicate the beginning of ovulation. Ovulation should begin in 24-36 hours.

A negative result indicates that no LH surge has been detected and daily testing should continue.

Not every woman ovulates mid-cycle, therefore, a positive result may not appear during the selected days of testing. If you see no positive result, continue testing with the LH One Step Ovulation Test Strip (Urine) for several more days. If negative results persist, test again during the next menstrual cycle.
