Product Information

Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. The egg passes into the fallopian tube where it is ready to be fertilized. In order for pregnancy to occur, the egg must be fertilized by sperm within 24 hours after its release. Immediately prior to ovulation, the body produces a large amount of luteinizing hormone (LH). This is known as the "LH surge" and usually takes place in the middle of the menstrual cycle. LH triggers the release of an egg from the ovary.

The LH One Step Ovulation Test Strip (Urine) is a complete system to help you predict the time of ovulation and peak fertility. It is during this fertile time that pregnancy is most likely to occur.

The LH Ovulation Test Strip (Urine) detects the LH surge in urine, signaling that ovulation is likely to occur in the next 24-36 hours.

Important: The LH surge and ovulation may not occur in all cycles.

The test strip contains anti-LH particles and anti-LH antibody coated on the membrane.

• For professional in vitro diagnostic use only. Do not use after expiration date.

• Do not eat, drink or smoke in the area where the specimens or kits are handled.

• Handle all specimens as if they contain infectious agents. Observe established precautions against microbiological hazards throughout the procedure and follow the standard procedures for proper disposal of specimens.

• Humidity and temperature can adversely affect results.

The kit can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated (230°C). The test strip is stable through the expiration date printed on the sealed pouch. The test strip must remain in the sealed pouch until use. DO NOT FREEZE. Do not use beyond the expiration date.

• Determine the time you will collect your urine. For best results, collect your urine at about the same time each day, for example, between 10:00AM and 8:00PM. Some women have found that their best specimen is after 12 noon. Do not collect your first urine after waking up.

• Reduce your liquid intake approximately 2 hours prior to urine collection.

• Be sure to write down the cycle day, date and time that you collected your urine in the "Test Results Chart".

• You can store your urine for testing later in the day. Your urine can be stored at room temperature for up to 8 hours or in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Do not freeze it. For best results, test your urine on the same day that it is collected. If you refrigerate your urine, let it reach room temperature before testing (about 30 minutes). Do not shake the container. If sediment forms at the bottom of the collection container, allow the sediment to settle. Use only urine from the top of the container.

Determine the Length of Your Menstrual Cycle.

Your Menstrual Cycle Length is the number of days from the first day of your period (menstrual bleeding) to the last day before your next period starts. Think back over the last few months to decide what your usual cycle length has been.

Circle your usual cycle length on the WHEN TO START CHART below. Select the number directly underneath.

Starting the first day of your last period, count ahead the selected number of days on your calendar. This is the day you should begin testing.

WHEN TO START CHART 
Circle Your Usual Cycle Length

Count ahead this many days STARTING WITH THE FIRST DAY of your LAST period.

Note: If you are unsure about your cycle length, you may want to use your shortest cycle length when reading the chart. If you do this, you may need to test for more than 5 days.

Example: My usual cycle length is 28 days. My last period started on the third. The "When to Start Chart" shows that I will count ahead 9 days beginning with the third. When I count 9 days ahead on the calendar, I find that I will collect and test my urine starting on the 11th. (See "Sample Calendar" below).

Laboratory studies have shown that the sensitivity of the LH One Step Ovulation Test Strip (Urine) is 40 mIU/mL and the accuracy is 98.7%.

The LH One Step Ovulation Test Strip (Urine) has been tested with commonly known drugs and hormones including FSH (700 mIU/mL), TSH (500 µIU/mL), and hCG (1,000 mIU/mL). At the levels tested, none of these substances interfered with the expected test results.

A positive result means your urine contains the level of LH that would indicate you are beginning to ovulate. You can assume that you will ovulate within 24-36 hours.

A negative result means that no LH surge has been detected and you should continue daily testing.

Not every woman ovulates mid-cycle; therefore, you may not see a positive result during the first 5 days of testing. Continue testing with the LH One Step Ovulation Test Strip (Urine).

LIMITATIONS
