how a ovulation test works?

Ovulation test strips work by measuring levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) in your urine. A rise in LH signals the ovary to release an egg — so when your levels reach a certain threshold, it's safe to assume that ovulation will occur within the next 12 to 36 hours.

Ovulation is the process of an ovary releasing an egg. Ovulation occurs around the middle of a person's menstrual cycle. At this time, some people may notice ovulation bleeding, which is slight spotting or a very light-colored discharge containing blood. They may also experience ovulation cramps when this occurs.

Common methods include tracking your menstrual cycle, measuring basal body temperature, and measuring the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH.) Even just being more aware of your body and how you feel may let you know when you are ovulating.

Pregnancy tests work by detecting the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine. ... So similar, in fact, a standard ovulation test (OPK) is unable to distinguish between LH and hCG in your urine.

This test window can display two lines—one for the control line (C) to make sure the test worked and another, the test line (T) that shows the ovulation result. Unlike a pregnancy test, two lines alone is not a positive result since your body makes LH at low levels throughout your cycle.

The OPK helps YOU determine where your ovulation cycle falls. We encourage you to test at least twice a day during your most fertile period (eg: 7am and 7pm) and to inseminate no more than twenty-four hours after getting your first positive response on your OPK.

The other thing you can pay attention to when doing ovulation prediction testing is the length of your luteal phase. Your luteal phase should be 12-14 days long. You have a positive ovulation test the day before ovulation. Therefore, your period should not start until at least 13 days after a positive ovulation test.

Unlike a pregnancy test, two lines alone [on an ovulation test] is not a positive result since your body makes LH at low levels throughout your cycle. If the test line (T) is as dark or darker than the control line (C), the test is positive, and you'll likely ovulate within approximately the next 36 hours.

Ovulation can occur while you are still getting positive ovulation tests. Since the surge can sometimes last for a day or two, testing every day—or even twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon—can help provide context for where in your surge you are.

Ovulation occurs about 24 hours after LH levels “surge.” You can detect your LH surge by using LH urine tests. A positive LH test indicates that you are fertile, but keep in mind that you may be most fertile before your LH surge.

Detecting LH and predicting ovulation Here's what we know: According to test manufacturers, the negative predictive value of ovulation tests is excellent — if an ovulation test indicates you are not having an LH surge, there's around a 98% chance you are not going to ovulate in the next 24-72 hours.

Ovulation most likely occurs around day 18. You should get a positive result on an OPK a day or two before that, on day 16 or 17. It's a good idea to start testing every day (or every other day) in the morning a few days before that, around cycle day 13.
