Ovulation test – how does it work?

Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. This cell is released into the fallopian tube where it is ready for fertilization. In order to become pregnant, an egg must be fertilized by sperm within 24 hours of being released. Just before ovulation, the body produces a large amount of luteinizing hormones (LH). This is called an “LH surge” and it usually happens in the middle of the menstrual cycle.

LH causes an egg to be released from the ovary. An ovulation test helps predict ovulation time and peak fertility. Pregnancy is most likely in the fertile period. An ovulation test detects an increase in LH in the urine, signaling that ovulation may occur in the next 12 to 36 hours. It should be noted, however, that LH increases and ovulation may not occur in all cycles.
