Self Test Ovulation What it is: a rapid urine test that detects the luteinizing hormone (LH), whose peak signals the imminent ovulation, useful for those who wish to monitor their fertility.|| When to use it: generally 2-3 days before the peak of LH, assuming a regular menstrual cycle of about 28 days. Ideally the first urine of the day or at consistent times each day (e.g., 10-18).|| How to use it:| Dip the strip or stick into the urine sample or apply a direct stream.|| Wait for the tempo indicated in the instructions (usually 5-10 minutes).|| Read the result by comparing the test line with the control line.|| | Interpretation of the result:| If the test line is equal to or darker than the control line → LH peak → ovulation likely in the next 24-48 hours.|| If the test line is lighter than the control line or does not appear → no peak detected at that time continue on the following days.|| If the control line is missing → test invalid → repeat the next day.|| | Advantages:| Simple and independent fertility monitoring at home.|| Helps in planning conception by optimizing fertile days.|| Also available in multipack for multiple consecutive cycles.|| | Limitations:| Does not measure the quality of oocytes nor the birth of embryos only the fertile window.|| Irregular cycles, altered hormones, polyps, or therapies can affect results.|| In case of persistent difficulty conceiving, it is advisable to una gynecological visit.||
