5 rapid ovulation tests

Product Description

Rapid immunoassay test for the detection of luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine.

Indications

The Farmapi rapid ovulation test is useful for determining the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine as an aid in the detection of ovulation. The test uses a combination of antibodies, including the LH monoclonal antibody, to selectively detect elevated levels of LH.

Directions for use and Dosage

Specimen collection and preparation

Determine the optimal time for urine collection. For best results, collect urine at approximately the same time each day. Do not collect the first urine sample after waking up. Reduce fluid intake approximately 2 hours before collecting urine.
Record the date, day of your period, and time of urine collection.
Urine can be stored at room temperature for up to 8 hours or at 2-8°C (36-46°F) for up to 24 hours. Do not freeze. For best results, test urine on the same day it is collected. If refrigerated, allow urine to reach room temperature before testing.
Do not shake the container. If sediment forms at the bottom of the collection container, allow the sediment to settle. Use only urine from the top of the container.

When to Start Testing

Calculate when to start testing using the table.
First, determine the length of your menstrual cycle. The length of your menstrual cycle is the number of days from the first day of your period (menstrual bleeding) to the last day before the start of your next period. Therefore, determine how many days from the start of your cycle you should count to begin the test. Find your menstrual cycle length on the first line of the table and read the corresponding number on the second line. This is the number of days from the first day of your period to count.

Testing

Determine the day you will start testing using the "When to Start Testing" table. Bring the pouch to room temperature before opening. Remove the midstream test from the sealed pouch and use it within one hour.
Remove the cap and hold the midstream test with the exposed absorbent tip pointing down directly in your urine stream for at least 15 seconds until it is completely wet. Do not urinate on the result window. If you prefer, urinate into a clean, dry container and immerse only the absorbent tip of the midstream test for at least 15 seconds.
After removing the midstream test from the urine, immediately replace the cap on the absorbent tip, place the midstream test on a flat surface with the result window facing up, and then begin counting.
When the test begins to work, you may notice a light-colored stream moving across the result window. Read the results after 3 minutes. If no result appears, wait one more minute. Do not read the result after 10 minutes.

Interpreting Results

Positive: Two colored lines are visible and the line in the test region (T) is equal to or darker than the line in the control region (C). This indicates that ovulation is likely to occur within the next 24-36 hours.
Negative: Two colored lines are visible, but the line in the test region (T) is lighter than the line in the control region (C), or there is no line in the test region (T). This indicates that no LH surge has been detected and that daily testing should be continued.
Invalid: The result is invalid if no colored line appears in the control region (C), even if a line appears in the test region (T). You should repeat the procedure with a new test. If the problem persists, stop using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.

Warnings

For in vitro self-testing. Not for internal use. Read all information in the package leaflet before performing the test. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the package. Do not use if the pouch is torn or damaged. Keep out of reach of children. Do not open the foil pouch until you are ready to begin the test. The used test must be disposed of according to local regulations. The test cannot be used as a form of birth control. Test results should not be affected by painkillers, antibiotics, and other common medications. Medications containing hCG or LH may affect the test and should not be taken while using the test. Additionally, the test will not work properly if you are pregnant, going through menopause, or taking birth control pills.
