Product Description:
LH Ovulation Test Strip (Colloidal Gold) is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay designed for the qualitative detection of luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine. The test is used to predict ovulation to aid in the timing of intercourse for couples attempting to conceive. The test strip is dipped into a urine sample, and the results are read within 3-5 minutes. A positive result indicates the presence of LH surge, suggesting that ovulation is likely to occur within the next 24-36 hours. The control line (C) ensures the test is performed correctly, and the test line (T) indicates the presence of LH in the sample.

Q&A:
-
How accurate is the LH Ovulation Test?
The test is over 99% accurate in detecting the LH surge, as confirmed by clinical trials.
-
Can the LH Test Replace the Basal Body Temperature (BBT) Method?
BBT indicates post-ovulation, while our test indicates that ovulation is about to occur.
-
Do alcohol, aspirin, or any other common drugs affect the test?
Common drugs don't affect the test. However, hormonal medications, especially those containing hCG or LH, might interfere. Clomid can cause false positives if you begin testing too early in your cycles. Talk to your doctor if you have a concern.
-
Why is first-morning urine not a good sample?
Most women experience a blood LH surge in the early morning. But it does not show up in the urine until later in the day.
-
Can test results be interpreted after five minutes?
No. The test should be read at 3-5 minutes for best results. Though a positive result should not change for several days, a negative result may change to a false positive after testing. Therefore, do not read the result after 5 minutes and discard the test after reading the test.
-
Should I worry about color variations in the control line?
No. Variations in the color of the control line will not affect the test result. Always compare the color of the test line to that of the control line from the same device on the day the test is performed. Do not compare bands from different devices.
-
During the testing period, a pink background and vertical streaking appeared in the result area. Is this a concern?
No, the test is working properly as long as the control line appears within five minutes.
-
How long should I continue to perform the test?
Unless otherwise specified by a doctor, stop testing once the LH surge is detected. Five to ten days of testing may be needed to detect the LH surge, though additional testing may be required.
-
If I am still uncertain when the test kit is positive, what shall I do?
Have intercourse when you think the test shows you are ovulating, and then continue to test your urine even though ovulation has passed. This will help you see the maximum darkness of your test line. The ovulation signal (LH surge) only lasts 48-60 hours. Therefore, your test line will eventually start to fade away if you continue testing after ovulation. Seeing this line fade will help you know your test line's peak darkness and give you more confidence in pinpointing your most fertile time.
-
I have received a positive result and had intercourse during these fertile days. I have not become pregnant. What shall I do?
Many factors can affect the ability to become pregnant. It may take 3-4 months of using the test kit before getting pregnant. Talk to your doctor if pregnancy is not achieved after 3-4 months.
