Avatar f tn Ovulation kits are used to detect the exact day of ovulation or release of egg in a woman for infertility treatment .This test measures level of the leutinising hormone and Follicle Stimulating Hormone. LH levels are highest on ovulation day. The sperms remain alive in female body for 72 hours and so intercourse a day before or after too could help woman conceive. This test too like any other test has its own limitations and advantages.
594189 tn?1386916607 Yes, LH (luteanizing hormone) will peak right before ovulation and trigger the release of the egg. That's the hormone measured by using OPKs (ovulation predictor kits). Before the LH surge, estrogen will be the prominent hormone (as the follicle grows), and after ovulation, progesterone will peak (to sustain a possible pregnancy).
1712422 tn?1443337501 I believe the OPK test kits are designed to identify your hormone surge (check this, I think it is the lutenizing hormone) and that the hormone surge is what brings on the ovulation. Seems the last time I read about how OPKs work, the surge starts and then ovulation is expected to happen in a day or two from when the surge is first detected. This should all be in the literature with the OPK and also on their website, though. It's been a long time since I read it.
Avatar m tn They measure the Lh (lutenizing hormone) in the urine. Just before ovulation, there is a surge of this hormone that turns the test stick positive. Once it is positive, you should o (ovulate) within 48hrs or so.
Avatar n tn Also, do you know if you are ovulating or ovulated during that time? You can buy ovulation predictor kits at any drug store if you ovulate you can get pregnant regardless.
Avatar f tn Hello, Pregnancy test kits are basically qualitative kind of test which just tests presence of hCG hormone in the urine of pregnant woman because this hormone is only produced during pregnancy among women. But this pregnancy test depends upon the particular level of hCG in the blood. So sometime it may be possible that it can give you false negative results during early days of pregnancy only because of un- sufficient level of hCG to make test positive.
Avatar f tn My fertility doctor has now prescribed several hormone supplements. I need to take Letrozole (to help ovulation), Premarin (=estrogen to help build up uterin lining) and duphaston. I was wondering if it is safe to combine this treatment with herbal supplements. I was thinking Evening Primrose Oil (period - ovulation), Flax Seed Oil (ovulation - period) and raspberry leaf tablets (all cycle). Does anyone know whether this is ok? Doe anyone have any experience with this?

Avatar f tn I have already test with 5 pregnancy test kits and the results show negative. In my whole abdomen USG, the following were observed: 1. Uterus is normal in size. Outline has homogenous echo patter. No focal SOL is seen. Middle echo of uterus is normal. Uterine cavity is emoty. Cervix is normal. 2. Both ovaries are bulky in size. Right ovary in POD and adherent to the posterior wall of uterus. 3. No fluid is seen. Am I pregnant?

Avatar f tn Not every day is good! It's actually counterproductive to have sex every day. That being said, have either of you had fertility tests? Doctors are usually willing to do said tests after a couple has tried over a year with no success. You'll want to know hormone levels are right and you'll want to try to track ovulation, too, which can be done by basal body temperature and ovulation kits.

Avatar f tn We are over 35 years old so I was looking to see how long we should try before we take any other steps. And do you have any suggestions on things to do now (like ovulation kits)?! I sincerely appreciate any good feedback and insight. Thank you!
803710 tn?1298591804 re on birth control, any type of hormone will mess with your cycles, it could just be your body acting oddly, especially if you recently went off of birth contol, it will take months usually to get back on track. Good luck!
1901332 tn?1321580970 Were you on any previous birth control? If not chances are your pregnant and the reason the home kits are reading negative is because it's not enough pregnancy hormone in your urine.
1339395 tn?1317263821 If, however, your test line is almost always positive or nearly positive, it can be indicative of a hormone imbalance.
Avatar m tn If one test is saying invalid, then you should checked your pregnancy status. pregnancy test kits are basically qualitative kind of test which just tests presence of hCG hormone in the urine of pregnant woman because this hormone is only produced during pregnancy among women. But this pregnancy test depends upon the particular level of hCG in the blood.
Avatar f tn ve already been to two Infertility specialists and they say nothing is wrong with my hormone levels etc. or my husband after checking everything. Has anyone had problems using ovulation kits reading their LH level? Another specialist said I can't get pregnant because I've had anorexia years ago. I am so confused.
Avatar n tn There are a couple of ways to find out if you are ovulating. One is to get a blood test on day 21 for a hormone called progesterone, which is only present in the blood during the 11-14 days after ovulation before your next period starts. If the progesterone is more than 3 ng/ml (or 10 pmol/ml, depending on where you live), then you are ovulating. If less than 3 ng/ml on day 21, I would suggest repeating on day 25, 26, 27, or 28 to see if you have had a delayed ovulation.
Avatar f tn A few days is too soon. The hormone detected by pregnancy tests is HCG, this isnt produced until about 8 days after fertilisation so it wouldnt be detected by a test. Im not saying that after 8 days you will be able to get a definite result but you could maybe try 10 days after fertilisation? Although this is like what bimbicat said becuase i would imagine this would be near to when you period is due.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you could be pregnant and just tested too early sometimes the pregnancy hormone doesnt appear as early as the over the counter test kits require meaning you should retest and then follow up with your doctor and if your not pregnant after that a more serious issue could be involved.
Avatar f tn t have to have a period to ovulate regularly. I would ask for a hormone blood work throughout a cycle to see when you are ovulating. I would also seek another Dr.

387168 tn?1214756393 Has anyone tried the ovulation kits? I have the Early Response ones. I havent got a test line at all and last night all of a sudden there was a faint faint line along side of the control but then tonight there was nothing again. What do you think that means, I plan on testing everyday, I dont care how much money it cost me. Whats anyone else's opinion?
