Ovulation Prediction Kits Ovulation prediction kit is a home testing kit to predict ovulation.
It is easy to use, less time-consuming than the BBT method and more accurate.
It is based on the knowledge that when your luteinizing hormones (LH) rises to a high level, it means you're about to ovulate within 24 to 36 hours.
The rise of LH is called LH surge.
You need to test the amount of LH found in your urine using the test sticks every morning.
This kit does not work for women with polycystic ovaries syndrome (PCOS) or premature ovarian failure (POF) as they tend to have high LH all the time.
Ovulation prediction kits can be expensive, especially for those who have irregular menstrual cycle as you have to keep replenishing the test sticks.
Saliva Fertility Tester The saliva fertility tester tests your saliva for a rise in salt content.
If the salt content rises, it indicates that your estrogen rises and you are going to ovulate.
At normal times, you'll only see little dots on the lens.
Nearer ovulation, you'll see something that looks like ferns.
When the ferns become darker and cover the whole lens, it indicates that you're about to ovulate.
The saliva fertility tester resembles a lipstick case and is very handy.
You can use it anywhere and at anytime.
It is pretty accurate.
It can be expensive but you can reuse the lens after washing.
Ovulation Monitor Ovulation monitor is a device that store information about your menstrual cycle and tells you when you're ovulating.
You test both your estrogen and LH levels every day around the same time.
Ovulation monitor lets you predict your ovulation five days before it occurs.
This device works well even if you have irregular menstrual cycles.
However, it does not work for those who have polycystic ovaries, menopause or are breastfeeding as their LH level is high all the time.
Ovulation monitor costs more than other ovulation testers and you need to buy the sticks to test your urine when prompted by the ovulation monitor.
However, it is very convenient to use and is very accurate.
Ovulation monitor may not work if you are taking Clomid which increases the level of estrogen.
Ovulation testers may help to reduce the time taken to conceive as you can detect accurately when you are about to ovulate and increase your chances of getting pregnant.
You'll not miss your chances because you have irregular menstrual cycles.
