How the tests work:

Both the MidStream LH One-Step Ovulation Test and the LH Ovulation Test Strip will help you find the time when you are most able to become pregnant by identifying when the LH hormone surge occurs, or more precisely, when LH hormone levels are highest in the system. Both utilize the standard lateral flow, immunoassay method. (In technical terminology: a lateral flow membrane immunoassay in which test specific antigens react with the sample to cause a colored line to appear if the specific chemical or hormone is present in the sample). Both test devices are calibrated to an analytical sensitivity of 25 mIU/ml. This is approximately 35% more sensitive than the 40mIU/ml established by the 2nd International Standard of the World Health Organization. 

The graphic to the left shows a typical result sequence starting with sample migration across the test panel, development of the control line, and then development of the test line. If the test line remains faint or lighter in intensity at the conclusion of the test, the result is negative for LH surge. If however the test line becomes as dark or darker in intensity at the conclusion of the test, the result is positive for LH surge. The important factor in correct test interpretation is the intensity difference between the control line and the test line at the conclusion of the test. Each test result is independent of any other test result and no comparison should be made or correlation attempted between different test results. Once a positive test is obtained, the LH surge is identified and no further tests are necessary.

These tests can help you plan your pregnancy. Luteinizing hormone (LH) is always present in human urine. LH increases dramatically just before women’s most fertile day of the month in a process commonly referred to as the "LH Surge" This LH increase triggers ovulation, which means an egg is released from woman’s ovary. Because the egg can be fertilized only 6 to 24 hours after ovulation, detecting ovulation in advance by testing for the LH surge is very important for women seeking pregnancy. Use the online Fertility/Ovulation Calculator to find your most likely fertile date.

	The MidStream LH One-Step Ovulation Test is simple to use, highly sensitive (25 mIU/ml LH), and accurate (98%) test that does not require urine sample collection or handling. The test is performed in the same manner as the MidStream OTC Pregnancy Test by placing the wick end directly into the urine stream. For complete instructions on how to interpret test results please see Interpretation of Test Results and the important note below.
	The LH Ovulation Test Strip  is a highly sensitive (25 mIU/ml LH), accurate (98%), lower cost, alternative test format. The test is a dipstick format similar to the AimStick™ PDB Pregnancy test. A urine sample is collected. The test is "dipped" into a specimen sample for about six (6) seconds and then "developed" for approximately three (3) minutes. For complete instructions on how to interpret test results, please see Interpretation of Test Results and the important note below.

Availability

Both test devices are individually foil sealed to insure test integrity and shelf life (approximately one year). Test packs come with complete with step-by-step instructions and detailed information on test result interpretation, frequently asked questions, and bibliographies for further reading. Each test pack contains tests and instruction sheet only. LH Ovulation Test Strips require a suitable specimen container which is not provided.

Note: Each test result is independent of any other test result and no correlation or dependency between consecutive test results should be inferred or relied upon to estimate fertility periods. Only when a single test result is positive can the fertility window be estimated with accuracy. The LH cassette, MidStream and Strip test devices are calibrated to an analytical sensitivity of 25 mIU/ml. This is approximately 35% more sensitive than the 40mIU/ml established by the 2nd International Standard.
