Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. The egg then passes into the fallopian tube where it is ready to be fertilised. In order for pregnancy to occur, the egg must be fertilised by sperm within 24 hours after its release. Immediately prior to ovulation, the body produces a large amount of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) that triggers the release of a ripened egg from the ovary. This "LH surge" usually takes place in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
OVUNOW™ Ovulation Test detects a LH surge that ultimately predicts ovulation within the next 24-48 hour period. Knowing when you are ovulating is very important because there is usually a 24-48 hour window of opportunity to fertilise the ovum.
In laboratory trials OVUNOW™ Ovulation Test is highly accurate at more than 99.9% in detecting a LH surge in urine samples. Sensitivity: 20mIU/mL LH in urine sample. Very reliable and simple, each test comes individually sealed and is clearly labelled OVUNOW Ovulation Test.
