Editorial Reviews
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone, produced by the developing placenta shortly after the conception and secreted into the urine. The pregnancy test contains antibodies which specifically react with this hormone. WHEN TO BEGIN TESTING The length of the menstrual cycle is the duration from your first menstrual bleeding day to the day before the next bleeding begins. Determine the length of menstrual cycle before test. Please refer to the chart below to determine when you should start testing. If your cycle is shorter than 21 days or longer than 38 days, consult a physician. If you do not know your cycle length, you may begin the test 11 days after your first period since the average cycle length is 28 days. Perform 1 test each day over a 5 days period, or until the LH surge has been detected. PLEASE NOTE: LH tests cannot be frozen. Please make sure you have an indoor mailbox before placing the order in winter.




After having a miscarriage the doctor had me get several blood tests to track my hcg levels and make sure they were getting back to zero. I was curious to see if I would still get a positive on a pregnancy test so I used one of these tests the same day I had my blood drawn. The test showed up a faint line and I found out from the doctor the next day that my hcg level was 8 mIU/ml. (Which if I was actually pregnant would have been consistent with about three weeks pregnant.) So these strips are very sensitive and I'm very impressed with them.
The tests do not come with any information since they are simply medical supplies and they assume you know already. I did not know what I was doing for the first few days and after doing a lot of reading up on these tests I HIGHLY recommend going to [...] (peeonastick dot com)or google "How to use LH test strips" or something similar to learn all about testing your ovulation using these LH test strips. You do need to test twice a day and at certain hours of the day to be most effective. I personally set an alarm on my blackberry to test at 10 am and 10pm. You should test at the same two times every day for best results.
I almost always had two lines show but if the result line is not as dark as the test line it is negative. If just one part of the result line is as dark that IS a positive. The test line simply is showing you how dark it would be for a positive. You also should know that once you do get a positive result this does not mean you are ovulating. It is detecting your LH Surge which happens when an egg is mature and ready to ovulate in the next 48 hrs or so. I tested positive for about 34 hours.
PLEASE READ UP ON THIS SO YOU DONT WASTE YOUR STRIPS!
In addition to having polycystic ovaries, my cycle is VERY irregular. One month may be 26 days and the next month may be 35 days. I was testing twice a day about 12 hours apart. I do know that one weekend, I tested negative on Sunday morning. I then tested as having my LH surge on Sunday night. Out of curiosity, I re-tested on Monday morning and my LH surge had already passed. If I was only testing in the morning, these tests would not have found my LH surge.
I was due for my period last Thursday (according to the app on my phone). On Friday I had a very faint purplish line in the test area next to the control line. It was a lot darker when I saw it in the trash a few hours later. My husband did not think it was anything. I retested on Sunday and it was a little darker. My husband still did not believe I am pregnant. I tested again today (much darker) and the positive result I got today finally convinced him I am pregnant.
I give this product 4 stars instead of 5 because you HAVE to wait the full five minutes to develop the tests (get out your stop watches) and you Have to pee in a cup and dip the strip. It is a little messy. But, the amount of money I saved by purchasing these strips instead of the expensive kits was worth it.
Basically, I started testing on CD 10 every morning upon waking (around 7-8 AM) and again in the afternoon at about 4 or 5 PM. I researched the best techniques for testing, so I had to remind myself not to drink anything for 1-2 hours before testing, otherwise the results could be affected. Days 10-13 yielded test results that were clearly negative, but the line was getting a little darker by the day. Then, on day 14, the line darkened even more for both the morning and afternoon tests, but then I had a clear positive on the night of CD 15. I had been charting my temps, so, when it spiked on day 17, I knew that I had ovulated on day 16!
I didn't want to torture myself with taking a test too early and have it come up negative, but I used one of the early pregnancy test strips on CD 27, and it was positive! It was a pretty faint line, but the doctor (and more test strips, because I'm a dork) confirmed that I am indeed pregnant!
I would highly recommend these test strips to anyone trying to have a baby, or anyone who just doesn't want to spend a fortune at the drug store every cycle! Just remember to buy some little cups first, otherwise you'll be scouring your house (like I was) for something to pee in :) Good luck!
For me these tests didn't show a positive for an LH surge until three days after my cervical fluid changed, two days after my temp spiked and my saliva "ferned", and the day after I had a sharp ovarian twinge on my left side. Coupled with the instructions to try conceiving more than 24 hours and less that 48 hours after a positive result these strips told me to try to conceive a full 72 hours after I should have. Granted, while I did not do blood draws to verify hormone levels absolutely, I did use every other indicator possible. This means SCIENCE!, something that so many women put so much faith in during this very emotional process, was wrong.
While using the strips I spoke with a friend of mine who has been using these for several months without any luck. After chatting for a little while and comparing her cycles to my skepticism of not getting a positive test on the same day my temp spiked I advised her to not wait this month for the strips to indicate a positive, but to go by her secondary indicators (she was not temping because she was using the strips...oh, the irony). As of the writing of this she is three days late for her menstrual cycle and I would bet money she's pregnant.
My advice is to poke around the internet for tests with less mixed reviews. They may be more expensive, but you'll need fewer of them and you'll save money on Kleenex and tubs of Haagen Dazs.
My cycle varies between 27 and 30 days (averaging 29 days over the last year or so). I started testing at Day 9 and the positive test day varied for me between Day 13 and 15 over 3 cycles. I stop testing after the first positive. I use plastic cups to dip the stick in. Dip for 5 seconds and read after 3 minutes. I tried to test around 6pm everyday after trying not to go to the loo for 3-4 hours beforehand (just stopped drinking large amounts of water after 2pm).
I got very clear positives on all three cycles so far - they were corroborated by basal body temperature shifts about 1-2 days later. I don't have any positive pregnancy test results to report yet - will update later. But for what its worth - the negatives were very clearly negatives on the pregnancy tests! :)
Thank you!!
I used an OPK every day of my last cycle. Every day this OPK said I was not ovulating (NEGATIVE). However, thankfully I was charting both my temperature and my cervical fluid and they both told me that I WAS ovuluating and WHEN. 11 days post ovulation (11 DPO) I tookd the pregnancy test that came with this package. NEGATIVE. I bought a well-known over-the-counter pregnancy test and it came up POSITIVE. I just got back from the doctor's office today and my blood test confirmed a POSITIVE pregnancy.
Moral of this story: OPKs have several inherent problems with them. Don't waste your money and instead chart your temps and cervical fluid. Get to know your body. Also, ask vendors at what HCG levels they test for. I was able to find this information on the website of the over-the-counter pregnancy test. This product, however, does not label their product with this information.
Once I knew I had PCOS and conceiving would be difficult, I bought several packs of these. I started using the OPKs early in each cycle, even though I knew I wouldn't ovulate until several months and then finally several weeks after my cycle began. I have been temping throughout the process of using OPKs. Each cycle after I got a positive OPK it was only about 1-2 days before my temps rose as well, signaling the day I ovulated. I recommend using these OPKs in conjunction with daily temping using the Taking Charge of Your Fertility guidelines as the gospel. When both align you'll know for certain that you ovulated.
I know several reviewers say these tests are difficult to read. Let me tell you, mine were always accurate. The OPK test line MUST be as dark as the OPK control line in order for you to have a positive reading. If it's even slightly lighter than the control line, sorry, you still haven't ovulated. Keep testing daily. I had a bunch of extra HPTs because I wasn't using them, so 9 days after I ovulated this cycle I used this HPT just for kicks. It was negative. The next day, on 10 days past ovulation, it was positive! The darkness of the HPT test line will increase each day if you're pregnant. Eventually, the HPT test line and control line will be the same level of darkness. I read in Consumer Reports that First Response Early Pregnancy tests are the most accurate early pregnancy tests on the market. While this may be true, I used my special leftover First Response early test on 12 days past ovulation at the same time that I used this HPT, and this cheap HPT had a test line that was exactly the same level of darkness as the First Response test. So, if I were you, I wouldn't waste my money on those expensive tests when these work exactly the same way and you can get 40 OPKs and 10 HPTs for the price of about 2 First Response HPTs.
I've taken plenty of these negative OPKs and plenty of negative HPTs. All were totally accurate. But I've also gotten my fair share of positive OPKs, and now finally after over nine months of trying, positive HPTs! Buy these!
Ovulation strips: These are tricky. The line has to be AS DARK AS, or DARKER THAN the control line. For me, I "thought" they were "maybe equal" a few times and I was wrong (your period should come about 14 days after a positive test, if it doesn't, and you aren't pregnant, you didn't ovulate). I "caught" my ovulation for 3 of the 6 cycles, and for these the test line showed up JUST DARKER than the control line. The other three cycles were irregular and I wasn't testing on the right days. Expect it to take you a few cycles to figure out how to read these. And don't be afraid to test more than once a day. The month I conceived I had a test that was "almost positive" but I wasn't sure, so I repeated it two hours later and it was positive. They say the best time to test is in the afternoon, indeed all my positive results were in the afternoon. They also say that once you're "positive" it can stay positive for a few days, but it's most important to make love the first day it's positive. With my pregnancy, we made love the day before and the day of my positive test, but not the days after.
Pregnancy test strips: My pregnancy test was positive on the 10th day after my ovulation test became positive. It was faint, like a shadow, but I didn't have to shine a light directly on it or use a magnifying glass or anything crazy. And it was positive after 5 minutes. I went through about 75 pregnancy tests (six months, irregular cycles, and I'm a little crazy...) Of these I had two "evaporation lines", where the test is negative after five minutes but very faintly positive after a period of hours (or overnight).
Best of luck to you all!
When my next door neighbor got pregnant MUCH faster than she planned, she gave me the rest of her stash of her ovulation and pregnancy test strips. There were so many of them that I didn't feel wasteful when I tried them early (to use as a control). This way, I knew without question when the levels were changing. The first month was mainly a month to practice with the strips. The second month was go-time. It worked. Baby #2 is currently 5 months old and playing with her feet in her swing. I am so grateful for these inexpensive strips. I am buying a set right now for my sister in law.
Until yesterday I got a BFP. And we aren't talking like super faint it might be, it was full blown pink positive. I took three more. All negative. Went to doctors,just to be sure. Blood test negative, urine test negative.
After nearly a year trying to conceive, I am so heart broken. Getting my hopes up at all is worse than just seeing a negative.
I reccomend searching for an alternative.
Thought I would give these a try because we were trying to get pregnant for 3 months and no luck. So I used an ovulation test every day after my LMP ended. The 2nd line was very light compared to the first for a while. Then on the 10th day after the last day of LMP, the 2nd line was darker than the first. So I had fun for the next 3 days, and viola! 11 days after the dark line showed up, the pregnancy test included with the ovulation strips shows a faint positive! (this is still 5 days before my next scheduled menses). Wow, I am impressed by the sensitivity of these tests!
So overall, I think they are great for the price and did the trick! There was no guessing needed!
They work, they're a great price, get them.
While the test takes a while to fully develop (I suggest 4-5 minutes), when you are having your surge, your positive result shows up almost immediately. So, that was a major plus.
If you're super picky about quality, I might suggest Walgreen's store brand of ovulation strips. I think you get 20 strips for about $15. I was happy with them. But, with an irregular cycle and never knowing when I might ovulate, I needed alot of OPK strips for less money, especially testing twice/day.
The only negative is very minor....my ovulation and pregnancy outer wraper was the same color, and basically looked the same. I kept the tests separated so it was a non-issue for me. The type of test is printed on the package, but could be easily mistaken for the other test. I see that the picture now shows two different colors. Possibly, this issue has been addressed.
I'm glad I did!
Here's the run-down on both:
The OPKs were super easy to use--there are instructions printed on the carton and I'd done a little of my own research. The second line on an OPK has to be DARKER than the first--two lines don't simply mean it's positive. I started to get worried when Day 14 rolled around and I STILL hadn't seen that second line. FINALLY, on day 16 before bed, I noticed EWCM. I quickly took another test--it was negative. I was starting to feel disappointed in the tests, but honey and I did the deed anyway. The next morning (Day 17), I took another test at 10:00 am--TWO LINES with one darker!! I took another at 2:00 pm--my surge had GONE already! I figure I probably surged during the early morning hours when I was sleeping. So, my lesson? It's a good thing you get 40 tests, because you might need to test 2-3 times a day when you're expecting the surge. BUT, that said, they work!!
The HPTs also work okay. I started testing WAYYYYY too early (5 DPO) because I was ancy. Go figure, I didn't get that positive unitl 10 DPO!! But, I got 2 positives--one with First Response Early Result and one with the Wondfo test strip, which means it must have been reading just as well as the FRER--and it's WAY cheaper.
This was my FIRST cycle and I'm Pregnant!! Squeee!!
Detects LH Peaks very well.
Price is great, so I can test multiple times a day and thus not miss the peak. Indeed peaks occur within 1 day for me (10Am : negative, 3PM: positive, 8PM: positive)
