The well known fact is that pregnancy is a very significant phase in the life of women and they want to plan for pregnancy according to their convenience. Hence it is a common issue that women would like to know when the ovulation is occurring for them to plan for childbirth. Sexual relationship with their husbands during the ovulation period is most likely to lead them to get pregnant. Hence women use Ovulation Prediction Kit (OPK) which predicts their ovulation period to get ready for pregnancy.
Ovulation Predictor Test
Ovulation Predictor Test is carried out by women to calculate the time and period of the menstrual cycle when there is a likelihood of getting pregnant. There is a hormone named Luteinizing Hormone (LH) present in the urine. During the period of ovulation this Luteinizing Hormone raises its level to signal the ovary to release the egg and that is the exact time when pregnancy occurs. ASC supplies the best Ovulation Predictor Test Kits to ensure reliability in knowing the fertility period. The kits are very convenient to use and the results are accurate. The kit consists of 20 individual strip pouches with instruction leaflet attached.
Procedure to perform Ovulation Predictor Test
The procedure to perform ASC’s best Ovulation Predictor Test is very simple and has 3 steps to follow. The first step is to remove the urine test strip from the pouch and check whether it is intact or damaged. Collect the urine in the test cup. Take care that the level of urine does not exceed the maximum mark. See to that the Test strip and the urine samples are at room temperature in the range of 15-30°C or 59-86°F for testing. The second step is to insert the test strip into the urine sample with the arrow of the strip pointing toward the urine. After 3 seconds remove the test strip from urine and lay it in a dry, clean and flat surface.
The third step is to read the result after 5 minutes. The results shown will vary from one line or two lines, smiley symbol or ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Digital versions reveal the fertile days to indicate ovulation period.
Understanding Ovulation Predictor Test
The ovulation predictor should be taken depending on the length of the menstrual cycle. If the normal cycle is 28 days then the ovulation predictor test should be carried out on the 11th day after the previous period started. Roughly the Ovulation Predictor Test should be done 3 to 5 days prior to the expected date of ovulation. The positive result indicates that the ovulation happens in the next 24 to 36 hours and sexual intercourse during this time would certainly lead to pregnancy. Ovulation predictor for irregular period shows a surge in the LH level which can be understood by getting the help of a fertility specialist.
