Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary, when the egg reaches the fallopian tube 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 surge of Luteinizing hormone (LH) - this usually takes place in the middle of the menstrual cycle. LH triggers the release of the egg from the ovary. Clear & Simple Ovulation tests detect the LH surge in urine, signalling that ovulation is likely to occur in the next 24-48 hours. During this period of ovulation you are at your peak fertility. It is during this most fertile time that pregnancy is most likely to occur if you have sex.
Most people use ovulation tests to track ovulation so that they know when the best time is to try for a baby. Some people use ovulation testing as a natural form of contraception so that they know when to avoid sex. It is not a totally reliable form of contraception but is recommended by some religions opposed to contraception and is sometimes called the rhythm method.
To determine when to start testing you must first determine the length of your Menstrual Cycle. This is the length in number of days from the first day of your period to the last day before your next period starts. Once determined over a number of months refer to the Cycle Chart to the right on which day to start testing.
If you are unsure about your cycle length you may begin the test 11 days after the first day of your period as the average cycle length is 28 days. Perform 1 test each day over a 5 day period or until the LH surge has been detected.
