Reasons to Use Ovulation Test Strip

 
 

Fertile window is the ideal moment to have making-a-baby intercourse. It is when the egg is mature and ready to be released from the ovary.  This process is called as ovulation. You need to take some tests or check several changes on your body to find out when you are going to ovulate. The most common method to figure it out is recognizing the fertile awareness, shown by the significant changes on basal body temperature and cervical mucus.

LH surge also plays role in predicting the ovulation day. The release of mature egg from ovary requires hormonal stimulation. The level of luteinizing hormone will increase to do this job. You can find out about the increasing by testing the urine with ovulation test strip. This tool is quite commonly used because:

• Convenience and mess-free
• Offers more accurate result than charting the cervical mucus and basal body temperature
