Thought it may be helpful to some readers to run over the basics of ovulation and when the most fertilie time occurs.
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 fertilized by sperm within 24 hours after its release.
Immediately prior to ovulation , the body produces a large amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) ,which triggers the release of the ripe egg from the ovary.
This LH surge usuallly takes place in the middle of the menstrual cycle.
Ovulation Prediction Tests help you to predict the time of ovulation & therefore peak fertility.
It is during this fertile time that pregnancy is most likely to occur.
The ovulation prediction test detects the LH surge in urine, signalling that ovulation is likely to occur in the next 24-36 hours
