CLEARBLUE's Digital Ovulation Test Kit can increase your chances of becoming pregnant by reliably indicating the days of your cycle when you are most likely to conceive – the days closest to when the egg is released from the ovary. This process is called ovulation. Making love during these 2 days gives you your best chance of conceiving.
Ovulation is triggered by the sudden release of the hormone Luteinising Hormone (LH) from the pituitary gland situated close to the brain. The surge in LH occurs approximately 24 to 36 hours before ovulation.
Used each day, on the days around the time when the LH surge is expected, CLEARBLUE ovulation test kit identifies the time in your cycle when you are most likely to conceive. The Test is over 99% accurate, takes just 3 minutes to give you your result and is the easiest ovulation test to read because there are no lines to interpret – a ‘blank circle’ means you haven’t detected your LH surge and a ‘smiley face’ means you have detected your LH surge.
The rest is up to you and your partner.
In order to identify your most fertile time with an ovulation test, first you need to understand something about your own body and your menstrual cycle. Ovulation generally occurs 12 to 16 days before the next period starts and your 2 most fertile days are the day of the LH surge and the day after. Around this time is when you should be testing. There is no need to test every day of your cycle.
Before you can be sure when to start testing, you need to work out your usual cycle length.
