Follicles develop and mature under the action of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). Within 24 hours before ovulation, there will be a peak of LH. We can use ovulation test strips to detect this peak. When the color of the second line of the test paper is close to, the same as, or exceeds the color of the first line, we know that ovulation will occur within 24 hours. However, it is difficult for us to judge when the color is close to the peak? Or will it continue to deepen tomorrow? Therefore, it is required to test two or more times a day at this time. If you find that the color of the second line starts to get lighter, then the previous measurement was the peak.
It is not very convenient to use ordinary ovulation test paper to see the color. Now there is a more convenient and more accurate test paper on the market – LH semi-quantitative detection test paper. This kind of test paper can measure very low levels of LH in the body, with the lowest level being 5mIU/ml. Using this kind of test paper, you can measure a specific value of LH every day. Fill in the data you measure every day into a table, and then connect these points to get an LH change curve. You can clearly see your ovulation status from the curve, which is very intuitive and diagnostic.
