A pregnancy begins with conception. A child is conceived
when the male sperm successfully fertilises the female egg. Successful
fertilisation is most likely during a 24-hour period following the
L.H. surge. Since this window is only open once a month and for
a short period of time, being able to predict the L.H surge is very
helpful when trying to become pregnant.
We have selected these ovulation
tests for their price, accuracy and reliability. All our tests
look for the presence of L.H. in urine.

Ovulation Strips Tests - Select your Test Sensitivity!
How do I know what is best for me and what does this mIU stuff all mean anyway?
In its simplest terms the number (e.g. 30 mIU) is just a standardised measurement system that detects the ovulation hormone in your urine. The lower the number the higher the sensitivity!
Essentially the higher the sensitivity the sooner it will be possible to detect when you are about to ovulate.
Our Ovulation Tests (3 sensitivities)
15 mIU – High sensitivity
30 mIU – Normal sensitivity
40 mIU – Low Sensitivity
If you have regular cycles and no known problems then, the Normal 30 mIU sensitivity are the ones you should have and the ones we recommend.
For more detailed information about why you may need different sensitivity ovulation tests and how to discover if you do click here.
So what do you recommend for a newcomer to all this?
Try the normal 30 mIU sensitivity ovulation tests and if you find any problems in pin-pointing when you are ovulating then try one of the other sensitivity tests and that will solve the problem.

What is the difference between the 2 types of ovulation
tests?
The 2 tests we have chosen are both the same as far
as accuracy and reliability, the reason for the price difference is due
to the different ways the tests are carried out.
The ovulation dip strip is the cheapest - this is
because it is just a strip that is dipped into your urine specimen. The
easiest test but the most expensive is the midstream, all that is involved
with the midstream is to hold the test in your urine stream.
How accurate is this test?
This test is greater than 99% accurate in laboratory
testing.
How does a home ovulation test work?
When a woman is about to ovulate, her body releases
a large amount of a hormone called L.H. (Luteinising Hormone). L.H. is
always present in your urine but the levels increase (surge) in the middle
of your cycle, causing you to release an egg from the ovary, this process
is called ovulation. If the L.H. surge is present, ovulation is likely
to occur in the next 24 to 48 hours.
These ovulation tests detect the L.H. surge by measuring
the amount of L.H. in urine.
Once I receive a positive result, when is the best
time to have intercourse?
Ovulation usually follows the start of the L.H. surge
within 24-48 hours. This is the time when you are at your most fertile,
therefore you should have intercourse during this time.
What happens if after using the 5 tests provided
I have still not detected my L.H. surge?
Most women with regular cycles will detect their L.H.
Surge in 5 days or under and so 5 tests are sufficient, however, if you
have irregular cycles you may need to test for longer and may require
additional ovulation tests to detect your L.H. Surge
I have recently come off the contraceptive pill
will this affect my result?
As the pill disrupts your natural hormone balance
it may take a few months for your periods to return to normal. You may
want to wait until you have had 2 normal periods before starting to use
this ovulation test. Please be aware that pregnancy
and breast feeding could affect the results of this test.
Will alcohol or other common medications affect the results
of this test?
No, but you should consult your doctor if you are taking
any hormonal treatments.
Can I use the ovulation test for contraception?
No, the test is not designed to prevent contraception.
As sperm can survive for 72 hours you might still become pregnant if you
had intercourse before you detected your L.H. Surge
I had a positive result for the L.H. Surge and had sexual
intercourse during this period but I have still not become pregnant.
There are many factors that can affect your fertility. It
can take many healthy couples months to achieve pregnancy. You may need
to use these tests for a few months before pregnancy occurs. If after
6 months of trying you have still not become pregnant, you should visit
your doctor for advice. For more information and tips on trying for a

Ovulation
Strip Tests - CE MARKED 0123
INTRODUCTION:
Ovulation
is the release of an egg from the ovary. The egg then passes into the
fallopian tube where it is ready to be fertilized. A child is conceived
when the male sperm successfully fertilizes the female egg. When a woman is about to ovulate, her
body releases a large amount of a hormone called L.H. (Luteinising Hormone).
L.H. is always present in your urine but the levels increase (surge) in
the middle of your cycle, causing you to release an egg from the ovary.
INTENDED
USE:
The One Step Ovulation Test is an immunochromatographic in-vitro assay for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination
of the human luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine to predict the time of
ovulation in women. The One Step Test detects the sharp increase in LH concentration in urine, the so called
“LH surge” which precedes ovulation.
Conception is most likely to occur within 36 hours following
the LH surge.
CONTENTS:
Each
pouch contains one immunochromatographic test.
Each
test contains a membrane with an anti-LH antibodies and conjugates, in a stabilizing
matrix containing proteins and sodium azide.
STORAGE
AND STABILITY:
Store below 30°C; do not
freeze.
LIMITATIONS:
The Ovulation One Step Tests are for in vitro diagnostic use only.
Elevated
concentrations of Human Chorionic Gonadtropin (HCG) interfere with LH
testing. Do not test samples from pregnant women and people with pathologic
conditions causing higher HCG levels
The One Step Ovulation Test is
not designed to prevent contraception. As sperm can survive for 72 hours
you might still become pregnant if you had intercourse before you detected
your L.H. surge.
WHEN
TO BEGIN TESTING:
First,
you must determine the length of your menstrual cycle. This is the number of days from the first
day of your menstrual bleeding to the day before your next bleeding begins
again, count
the first day of bleeding as day 1. Calculate what the usual length of
your menstrual cycle has been the last few months. Once you have worked
out the length of your cycle refer to the chart to determine on which
day of your menstrual cycle you should begin testing.
