Instinct tells a woman that she is ready to conceive, but to be doubly sure take personal or laboratory tests. For starters, estimate the approximate time of ovulation by calculating the average menstrual cycle length. Start from the first day, which is the first day of menstrual period, and the last day is the day before the next period begins. If the menstrual cycle is 28 days, then subtract 17 days, equivalent to 11 days. Use the test to predict the day 11 and continue testing until positive. This means you will ovulate within 24-36 hours.

This sounds intimidating, but non-medical terms ovulation is the interplay of glands and their hormones. The presence of progesterone was confirmed by blood tests and if the level is higher than 20nmol / L is indicative of ovulation has taken place. The blood test is done around 3-10 days before the first day of menstruation. Another method to test ovulation is through pregnancy ultrasound whereby the presence of a fetus is checked. For women trying to conceive, it is not advisable, as pelvic ultrasound has a success rate similar to that ultrasound during pregnancy. Other methods of tests check the cervix mucus changes, basal body temperature or salivary fern three or four days before ovulation.

Ovulation tests are gaining popularity through the use of ovulation calendars or predictor kits to specify the fertile periods or avoid unwanted pregnancies. Normally women ovulate in the middle of the monthly menstrual cycle, depending on the length of the cycle. Sometimes ovulation occurs twice in a month or, in a sick body, plays truant. Avoid drinking too much water or frequent urination when taking an ovulation test, since limited accuracy.

For urine ovulation tests a urine sample early morning is ideal because it contains the highest concentration of hCG present. If the tests during the day, no urine 3-4 hours before the test. The response time for a home ovulation test is about five minutes. Since the peak of LH at the time of ovulation is short, one must prove at the right time of the month and day.

Another test method is via ovulation test strips with bands control of color and intensity baselines for reference. Certain drugs have an adverse effect on test results, especially fertility drugs or pills. Consult your doctor or wait for two menstrual cycles before monitoring LH levels. For maximum effect, store test kits at room temperature and read the instructions carefully before making a test. Other tracking devices are basal body temperature thermometer and mini microscopes for testing saliva or cervical mucus. Knowledge of the ovulatory cycle will help identify the test methods.
