Use ovulation test is very simple. Place the tip of the Test Stripunder a stream of urine for 5 sec. or in urine for 20 seconds.Result can be seen in 3 minutes. You should compare the result of a line of LH in the urine of the control line.

• If the line is the result paler than the control line, then the LH surge has not happened yet, and testing should be continued daily.
• If line the result is the same or darker than control line, hence release of the hormone has already occurred, and within 24-36hours you will come ovulation.

Once you have determined that the LH surge has occurred, sexual intercourse in the next 48 hours will give you the best chance of becoming pregnant. Continue further testing is not necessary.
