Clear and Simple Ovulation Test Strips - Pack of 5 Strips

Product Information

It’s worth noting that an ovulation predictor kit will only tell you when you are likely to ovulate. It can’t determine your chances of getting pregnant or estimate how many years of fertility you may have left. Are ovulation tests worth it? The ovulation test displays two coloured lines on the test strip if you’re ovulating and, with 99% accuracy, you can be sure that you’re getting the right result.

Moving up the price scale, you get kits that work more like a pregnancy test, in that they allow you to wee directly onto them, rather than having to collect your urine in a container. These often use graphics to make the results easier to read, for instance, a smiley face may appear if your LH hormone levels are raised.

First, you need to work out how long your cycle is – the first day of your cycle being the first day of your period. If you have a regular cycle, ovulation tends to occur between 10 and 16 days before your period is due, according to the NHS.

We think the Clearblue Advanced Digital Ovulation Test Kit is the most accurate ovulation test on our list. It gives you a high chance of pinpointing your most fertile days and purports to be in excess of 99% accurate at detecting the LH surge. How we chose our recommendations A positive test result (as in diagram A or B) shows that the LH surge has been detected. Your 2 most fertile days are today and tomorrow so if you have sex in the next 48 hours you will maximise your chance of getting pregnant. What do I do if my test is negative (No LH surge)?

Learning Curve: While the ovulation test is relatively easy to use, there is a slight learning curve especially with the urine cups as they are on the shorter side. If you have never used a collection cup before you may take a few tries to get use to using them.

It promises to identify three times more fertile days per month for users so that the odds of conceiving a baby increase. It also stores your cycle information for up to six cycles, so you can compare and look for any patterns or differences. If a pregnancy test is sold by a reputable, registered company it doesn’t matter if you opt for the cheaper option or buy in bulk,' explains Marie Louise. 'This maybe a good idea if you are trying or know you have potential difficulty conceiving. Pregnancy tests can be expensive!' What should I do after testing positive? If no lines appear within 10 minutes or if only a test line appears, this is usually due to the strip not being wet enough. Repeat the test ensuring that the strip is immersed in the urine sample for the full 10 seconds. What do I do if my test is positive (LH Surge)? The minute I put them on I scolded myself for squeezing into my normal clothes for so long when maternity trousers are the most comfortable thing in the world! The earlier you buy them the lower the cost per wear as well!"- Mumsnetter dinosaurkisses. Are maternity clothes worth buying?
