Easy to use Fertility Prediction Test Kits and Ovulation Test Kits have become popular and are useful in helping women who want to conceive to predict their most fertile time. Fertility Prediction Test Kits and Ovulation Test Kits work by measuring the presence of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in urine. A surge of LH causes your ovary to produce enzymes which causes the dominant follicle to rupture and release the egg into the Fallopian tube. This is ovulation and usually occurs within 24 hours of the surge of LH. A Fertility Prediction Test Kits or Ovulation Test Kits should be positive the day before you ovulate.

Using Fertility Prediction Test Kits and Ovulation Test Kits
Ovulation and fertility prediction kits are a popular method of detecting ovulation - when a woman is most fertile and likely to conceive. One of the benefits of using an OPK (ovulation prediction kit) is that you can predict ovulation before it occurs. With basal body temperature charting you can not tell that you have ovulated until after it happens. OPKs work by detecting LH (Luteinizing Hormone) levels in your urine. Just before ovulation there is a surge in LH. When this LH surge is detected, ovulation should occur within 36 hours.
Hormones, ovulation and fertility
The menstrual cycle and ovulation are regulated by several hormones including FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), estrogen, LH (Luteinzing Hormone), and progesterone. The start of your menstrual period is the first day of your menstrual cycle. During menstruation estrogen and progesterone levels decrease causing the lining of your uterus to shed. Also during the first half of your cycle FSH levels increase causing several follicles to form. Each follicle contains an egg. As your cycle continues, only one follicle will remain. This follicle produces estrogen and will be the one that produces an egg during ovulation. Once the egg has matured, LH levels will surge and cause the egg to burst from the follicle. This is ovulation. An unfertilized egg only lives for a short time so timing is everything.
How to use an Ovulation Prediction Kit
You may use a test strip or a midstream ovulation prediction test. Both work the same way. With the test strip, you will need to dip the test strip into a container of urine and keep it in the urine for several seconds. The midstream test should be held in your urine stream. The tests normally take about five minutes to read. There is a control band and a result band. The control band gives you a color to compare the result band to. When you test you will detect some LH at any time during your cycle. That is because you produce LH throughout your cycle. You are looking for the results to be darker or the same color as the control band. If the result band is lighter than the control band you have not ovulated.
Tips for using an Ovulation Prediction Kit
You may want to chart your basal body temperatures as well as using an ovulation prediction kit. By looking at previous charts, you can have an idea of when the best time to use the ovulation prediction test is.

What is ovulation?
Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. The egg then passes into the fallopian tube where it is ready to be fertilised. In order for pregnancy to occur, the egg must be fertilised by a sperm within 12-24 after its release.
When do I ovulate?
Most women ovulate somewhere between day 12 and 21 of their cycle, with day 1 being the first day of proper flow of their period. If you make love every other during this period you are giving yourself a good chance of getting pregnant, but your partner my lose enthusiasm after the first couple of days!. By using a prediction kit you can cut down the number of likely days needed.
How do ovulation predictor kits work?
In the 24-36 hours before ovulation your body produces a large amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) which triggers the release of a ripened egg. The ovulation tests detect this rise in LH and give warning you are about to ovulate. Each kit has a number of tests in it and depending on the length of your normal cycle will depend which day you start testing on, details are given in each pack and on our ovulation predictor page. The test is used like a pregnancy test. You urinate over the stick at around the same time each afternoon or evening, and wait a couple of minutes to read the results. If a rise in LH is detected the test will show two lines and you have warning that today or tomorrow would be a good time to make love and get those sperm in position ready for the egg.
