Specific Lateral Flow Cassette Type Test

All inclusive,

The OvuCard™
7 Day
Ovulation Prediction test kit is a
complete testing system for detecting the increase (or surge) of the luteinizing
hormone, LH, occurring naturally approximately one to two days prior to the release of the
egg from the female ovary (ovulation). The LH cassette test device is 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. The LH hormone is the triggering
process for ovulation and therefore becomes a primary indicator of the "fertility
window" which lasts only a few days during the menstrual cycle. For women wishing to
maximize the chance of egg fertilization and becoming pregnant, sexual intercourse should
occur during this "fertility window". This is the most accurate method for
family planning and has proved successful for hundreds of thousands of women wishing to
get pregnant. Questions?...Please see the "FAQs"
page.
OvuCard Ovulation Prediction
Systems are a scientific,
biological method for determining exactly when conception is most probable given the LH
hormone surge prior to ovulation (See Ovulation/LH Surge chart) . The LH surge occurs
naturally in all females each month between menstrual cycles up until menopause. It is the
body's automatic process during ovulation to increase production of this key hormone to
maximize success of the fertilization process. Because egg fertilization should occur
during this critical three day window for a pregnancy to result, this testing system is
far more accurate in predicting the female fertility period than use of temperature
charts, counting or other such methods. In order to maximize the chance of pregnancy, it
is recommended that intercourse occur within two days of the LH surge detected by the
test. The test is simple to use and can be a valuable asset in family planning.

OvuCard™
Ovulation Prediction Systems come with a seven (7) day
supply of tests. The test should be performed each consecutive day during mid-cycle
(explained in chart below) until the LH hormone surge is detected. At that time additional
tests are not necessary, as the fertile period has been determined. It is also recommended
that the tests be performed at approximately the same time each day preferably with the
first morning urine. Large amounts of fluid intake should be avoided at least 4 hours
prior to each test to minimize LH hormone dilution in the urine.
When
to determine the proper Test Start Date:
Determine the length of your normal menstrual
cycle. This cycle is calculated by counting the number of days from the first
day of menstrual bleeding to the day before the bleeding begins again. For
example, the first day of menstrual bleeding is day one. If 26 days
elapse and bleeding commences on day 27, your cycle would be 26 days. The chart
below summarizes the day on which the OvuCard tests should begin.
The
Ovulation Calculator can also help with
cycle timing issues.

Interpretation of Test
Results:
 |
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.
|
Using
the Control or C line which develops as a reference point, compare the color and
intensity of the Test or T line to the Control or Reference Line.

There are two areas in the test window of the cassette where distinct lines will
form and become visible. The control area (C) will always show a line as this
area has been chemically impregnated with a positive LH hormone binding agent to
provide the control line for presence of LH hormone. The second area is the test
(T) area where a line may or may not form based on the amount of LH hormone in
the urine sample. If no line appears in the test region or if the color and
intensity of the line in the test region is lighter than the control line, then
the LH surge has not occurred and the test is negative. If the line in the test
region is the same or darker in color and intensity than the control line, then
the LH surge has begun and the test is positive. If a Control or Reference Line
does not develop, the test is invalid and should be discarded. Please refer to
the chart above as well as the note regarding the independence of each test
result below.
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 test device is 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.
The OvuCard Ovulation Predicting System is a scientifically based
assay dependent on the biological release of LH hormone. The testing system can
only aid in the determination of the fertile period in the female menses. No
claims or guarantees are made or intended beyond the aid in LH surge
confirmation.

Ovutest Saliva Fertility Testers are reusable mini-microscopes designed to reveal the crystalline "fern structures" which occur in the saliva and cervical fluid during ovulation. This natural phenomenon has been known for many years only to researchers and medical professionals.
Also
available are one-step ovulation prediction tests in two new easy to use formats. Both new test formats use the same, proven forensic scientific method as the
BeSure cassette test for identifying the LH hormone surge prior to ovulation. Some women may find the new
LH MidStream
type
or the LH DipStick type
test easier to use and more convenient. Both tests are highly sensitive to the LH hormone and provide excellent lower cost alternative options for women seeking
pregnancy. |
