At what point in a womans cycle should the test be used?
The LH test should be taken around the middle of the menstrual cycle. A woman needs to first determine her cycle length. She then reads a chart included with the LH Ovulation Predictor Test to determine when she should start testing. If she has correctly measured her cycle, she should detect her LH surge within 5 days of beginning to test. However, not all women ovulate mid-cycle, so it is possible that additional testing beyond the 5 days is necessary. Q: If the test is used before the specimen and test reach room temperature, is the result reliable? A: No. The test and the specimen must be at room temperature (15-30 C) before the test is performed.
