POSITIVE: Two lines are visible, but the line in test line region (T) is the same as or darker than the one in the control line region (C). This indicates probable ovulation in 24-36 hours.
NEGATIVE: Two lines are visible, but the line in the test line region (T) is lighter than the one in the control line region (C), or if there is no line in the test line region (T). This indicates that no LH surge has been detected.
INVALID: Control line fails to appear. Insufficient specimen volume or incorrect procedural techniques are the most likely reasons for control line failure. Review the procedure and repeat the test with a new test. If the problem persists, discontinue using the test kit immediately and contact your local distributor.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
1. Can the LH Ovulation Rapid Test Cassette (Urine) be used to avoid pregnancy?
No, the test should not be used as a form of birth control.
2. Do alcohol or common medications affect the test?
No, but a physician should be consulted if taking any hormonal medication. Also, recent oral contraceptive use, breastfeeding or pregnancy could affect the results.
3. How long will the line remain visible?
The test should be read at 5 minutes for best results. A positive (Surge) result will never disappear. The colored line(s) may become darker and a tinted background may appear after several hours. Some negative results may later display a faint second color line because of evaporation from the test line region, which prevents complete migration of the test chemicals. Therefore, do not read the result after 10 minutes and discard the test after reading the test.
4. Once a positive result is obtained, when is the best time to have intercourse?
Ovulation is likely to occur within 24-36 hours. This is the most fertile time. Sex/ual intercourse within this time frame is advised.
5. Does this test replace the basal body temperature method (BBT)?
The shift in basal body temperature primarily indicates that ovulation has already occurred. The LH Ovulation Rapid Test Cassette (Urine) indicates that ovulation is about to occur.
6. Does a positive result guarantee a pregnancy after intercourse within the fertile days?
There are many factors that can affect the ability to become pregnant. Often it may be necessary to use the test kit for 3-4 months before achieving pregnancy. A physician should be consulted if pregnancy is not achieved after 3-4 months.
7. How soon can pregnancy be confirmed?
Rapid pregnancy tests can provide results as early as the first missed period.
8. What time of the day should I perform the test? Do I need to use first morning urine?
First morning urine is not recommended, but any other time of day is suitable. For best results, try to collect urine at approximately the same time each day.
9. Will heavy intake of liquids affect the result?
Heavy intake of fluids prior to testing will dilute the hormone in urine. Limiting fluid intake for about two hours before collecting urine is suggested.
PRINCIPLE
The LH Ovulation Test is a rapid lateral flow immunoassay for the qualitative detection of hLH surges in urine, signaling that ovulation is likely to occur in the next 24-36 hours.
The test utilizes a combination of antibodies including a monoclonal hLH antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of hLH.
The urine sample moves forward laterally on the test due to capillary forces. In the presence of hLH an immunological reaction between hLH and labeled anti-hLH antibodies takes place leading to a distinct red colored test line. Depending on the hLH concentration, the test line becomes lighter or darker. Other labeled antibodies from the control line. This reaction serves as a proof for the proper use and function of the test strip. This methodology is named immunochromatography.
