How to use ovulation test strips_How to use ovulation test strips

When preparing for pregnancy, you need to choose a good time. Some women will use ovulation test strips to test the ovulation period, but they don't know how to use them when they buy them for the first time. So how do you use ovulation test strips? Here are the steps to use ovulation test strips.

1. First, try to use urine test between 10 am and 8 pm. During this period, the concentration of HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, in the body is higher, and the test is relatively accurate.

2. Open the outer package, take out the test strip, hold it with your hand, pour urine on the sampling stick of the test strip, make the urine soak the sampling stick head as much as possible, take it out and lay it flat after 10 seconds. Check the results in about 10 minutes, the results will be invalid after 30 minutes.

3. You can also take urine in a container and immerse one end of the test paper in the urine. The liquid level cannot exceed the maximum scale line on the test paper head. Observe the results within 10 minutes. It will be invalid after 30 minutes.

4. If the C line does not appear within 10 minutes, the result is invalid and needs to be retested. If both the control line (C line) and the reaction line (T line) are colored, it is the dangerous period of ovulation. If only the T line appears, it is the safe period without ovulation.

1First and foremost, the test paper (pen) is disposable and cannot be reused.

2 When we are testing, we will worry about the impact of drugs on the test results. We don’t need to worry too much about general commonly used drugs, such as cold medicines, antibiotics, painkillers, etc. These drugs will not affect the test results, but if you inject or take fertility drugs containing HCG, it will affect.

3 Some women may have used birth control pills before preparing to conceive. Generally, birth control pills will cause menstrual cycle disorders, so when we use ovulation test strips, we should stop taking the medicine and wait until the menstruation returns to normal before starting the test again.

It is recommended to start testing on the tenth day of menstruation, and test once a day with an ovulation test strip. If you find that it is gradually getting stronger, increase the frequency of testing. It is recommended to test every 4 hours, try to test a strong positive, and catch the moment when the strong positive turns weak, because ovulation occurs when the strong positive turns weak. If it is found to be rapidly weakened, it means that ovulation may occur within 24 hours. If you do a pregnancy self-test at night, the accuracy will be more or less affected. Because the urine in the morning generally has the highest HCG value. Many early pregnancy test strips do not indicate the best time of the day to test. Generally speaking, the first urine discharged in the morning will test the most accurate results. Although the positive result is not as misdiagnosed as the negative result, there are many non-pregnancy factors that can cause the test result to be positive: such as blood in the urine, previous pregnancy (HCG hormone can be found in miscarriage, artificial abortion or 8 weeks after childbirth), ovarian tumors and other diseases, or taking some fertility drugs. Note: Do not drink water 2 hours before using the ovulation test strip; and do not use morning urine for testing, it is best to test between 10-20 o'clock (the best time to collect urine is from 10 am to 8 pm. During the testing process for several consecutive days, it is best to use urine samples collected at the same time every day).

1 If you want to test whether you are pregnant, you can check your urine with an early pregnancy test strip about 10 days after having sex. Generally, the test strip is placed in the urine. There are usually two lines on the early pregnancy test strip. If both lines are obvious colors (usually red), it indicates that you are pregnant.

2. The application of ovulation test strips usually has a certain reference price for couples who want to prepare for pregnancy. Through the examination of early pregnancy test strips, you can clearly know the specific ovulation date. If you want a baby, you can have sex during the ovulation period according to the test results, so that the chance of pregnancy is relatively higher. If you don’t want a baby, the ovulation test strip can also detect the "safe period" of women, which is also effective for contraception.

3. For a woman with normal menstruation, if her menstruation is delayed, she should consider whether she is pregnant. In the early stages of pregnancy, she usually experiences drowsiness, fatigue, and breast swelling. If she finds positive after testing with an early pregnancy test strip, she should go to a regular hospital for a checkup to make further confirmation, so that she can take good care of herself and take care of herself during pregnancy.

Note: Ovulation test strips and early pregnancy test strips are two different test strips with different functions. The detection principles are basically the same. Ovulation test strips are mainly used to test women's specific ovulation period, which is helpful for pregnancy preparation or ovulation; early pregnancy test strips are test strips for early pregnancy detection, mainly to know whether you are pregnant in advance.
