6x Ovulation tests

Ovulation tests predict when you ovulate, i.e. when your ovaries release an egg and you have the best chance of getting pregnant. This test measures elevated levels of luteinising hormone (LH) in your urine. LH is a hormone that rises 24 to 48 hours before ovulation. You are most fertile on the day of the LH surge and the following two days.

Plusbaby ovulation tests are over 99% accurate, thanks to technology approved by the FDA and gynaecologists.

Refer to the usual length of your cycle, i.e. the number of days between the first day of your last period and the first day of your next period (period-tracking applications are an excellent way of obtaining this information). On the basis of this number, refer to the table in the instructions to determine the best day to carry out the test. For example, if the first day of your last period was the 1st and your cycle usually lasts 28 days, you should start testing on the 12th. See this article for more information! At the time of testing (we recommend you do it between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., so not with your first morning’s urine), remove the purple cap and urinate on the absorbent paper strip for 5 seconds, or dip the test into a bottle of urine. If you can, try not to drink too much liquid or pee a few hours before the test, as this will dilute the test results.

Above all, we believe in confidentiality. Your Plusbaby tests are delivered in a plain envelope, with no reference to Plusbaby or ovulation tests. The envelope is small enough to fit through a letterbox slot, and no signature is required.

Ovulation tests can help you better understand your menstrual cycle, whether you are trying to conceive or not.

There are many options available to women for monitoring ovulation: basal body temperature (BBT), cervical mucus monitoring, salivary fern and home ovulation prediction tests. Multiple studies have evaluated the clinical accuracy of the above methods and home ovulation tests that detect urinary LH, such as the Plusbaby ovulation test, have consistently been shown to be accurate in predicting ovulation.
