Ovulation Tests - Lewisville,TX

So when you take the test, it measures your level of LH hormone to determine if you are about to release an egg. Just like pregnancy tests, there are 2 lines. The first line is a control line and the second line will tell you if you are near ovulation. The darker the second line, the more likely you are near ovulation.

You should start taking these tests on day 11 since most women don't have a 'normal' cycle of 28 days with ovulation occurring on day 14.

It's funny.. an OT test only tell you that your Lutenizing Hormone (LH) is rising.. and therefore, you "could" ovulate.in fact, just because the test may show a positive, it doesn't mean you WILL ovulate.. it simply means your body produced enough of the LH hormone to meet the test's designated threshold... how can you know IF you are truly ovulating.. you can only know that by taking your temp and charting your cycle.. oh sure, some will say, I KNOW exactly when I am. I get a sharp pain (ok , yes, at times we do) however and again.. that doesn't completely mean you are ovulating.. some say, well I bled this month... that means I did.. NO it doesn't.... it means you bled but could have had an anovulatory cycle..

those OT tests are misleading because many thing they determine if you will ovulate...again, they simply measure the LH ..those tests can help in conjunction to tracking your cycle... check out that book, take charge of your fertility..

oh and IF you insist on using the tests (which can have their place) you can buy them in bulk on the net for cheaper than if you buy them at the store.. depending upon how long you use them, costs can add up....

good luck

I was taking them too until my fertility doctor told me the same thing that AL (below) said. Your brain can be telling your body to ovulate but that does not mean that it will, mine did not, so the test are pretty much a waste of money for me but I know some people who they worked for so you never know : )

Good luck

I used them because my periods are wacky and im not sure when I ovulate so about 10 days after I started my period I started using them everyday...sure enough one was possitive..unfortunitly my husband was gone that night...so the next night we did the deed I am now 10 weeks preggo :) I think they are worth the money if you have no idea when you ovulate, I tried for a year without using it and just couldn't get it right. You can get the off brand at like Walgreens 7 sticks for pretty cheap. Hope this helps. :)

For a lot of women they do work. But there are women who they don't work for. I found that out the hard way and had my fertility doctor confirm that. By the hard way I mean that the second month I was using them I wound up pregnant without out the OPTs confirming O. It was funny because my BBT chart showed O but the OPTs werent showing anything.
So I tell women they are better off charting their temps than trusting OPTs.

The predict your LH surge, which typically occurs 12-24 hrs before you ovulate. So it's providing warning that your ovulation is coming.

I used them to get pregnant with both of my kids. And it worked both times on the first try.
Have sex on the day you get a positive, and the day after.
For me = presto, baby!
