BabyHopes One-Step Ovulation Test

Whether you are the very beginning of your trying to conceive journey or well on your way, using ovulation test kits will help you understand how your body works. Finding out exactly when your body releases an egg from your ovary, ovulation, will help you pin point your most fertile time of the month. Two days in your cycle, the day before ovulation and the day of ovulation are when you are most likely to become pregnant.


How do ovulation tests work?

Luteinizing hormone (LH) is always present in human urine. LH increases dramatically just before a woman's most fertile day of the month in a process commonly referred to as the "LH Surge" This LH increase triggers ovulation, which means an egg is released from woman's ovary.

Please Note: Some prescription drugs, such as menotropins may affect the test result. Certain rare medical conditions or the onset of menopause can cause elevated levels of LH. Some women do not ovulate every cycle and they will not see any increase in the level of LH hormone during these non-ovulating cycles. Women with Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) may not get reliable results from ovulation tests. Please check with your doctor if you are unsure.
