(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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eThese ovulation tests detect the L.H. surge by measuring the amount of L.H. in urine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eFor more information on ovulation and the menstrual cycle \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/homehealth-uk.com\/ovulationandmenstrualcycle\/\"\u003eclick here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOnce I receive a positive result, when is the best time to have intercourse? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eOvulation 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat happens if after using the 5 tests provided I have still not detected my L.H. surge? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eMost 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow accurate is this test?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eThis test is greater than 99% accurate in laboratory testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eI have recently come off the contraceptive pill will this affect my result?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill alcohol or other common medications affect the results of this test? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eNo, but you should consult your doctor if you are taking any hormonal treatments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I use the ovulation test for contraception? \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eNo, 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\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI had a positive result for the L.H. Surge and had sexual intercourse during this period but I have still not become pregnant.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"txt12black\"\u003eThere 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.
