How to Calculate Your Ovulation Date With Ovulation Tests

Many women are interested in calculating their ovulation date, especially if they have experienced difficulty trying to get pregnant without any cycle charting. Ovulation tests are a great way to predict when you will ovulate and they are considerably accurate. When you use an ovulation test to help you determine your most fertile times of the month then you will be able to time intercourse for the best odds of becoming pregnant. Of course, ovulation tests and kits can’t guarantee you will become pregnant, but they can help you give yourself the very best odds.

Cycles

Most women experience ovulation mid-cycle, which is usually on the 14th day of the 28 day cycle. However, many women experience ovulation before or after their 14th day based on an irregular cycle or for many other reasons. Because of this using an ovulation kit and test to determine fertile days is important and will help women improve their chances of conceiving. The benefit of an Ovulation prediction test is that it anticipates when you will ovulate rather than just telling you that you did ovulate! This is really important for women trying to get pregnant. The test works because they are able to detect LH, luteinizing hormone. This is important because just before a woman is going to ovulate she will experience what is known as an “LH surge” that is a brief and sudden rise in this particular hormone. The LH surge is detected by the ovulation test so that you can predict when ovulation will occur and ultimately your most fertile days. Peak fertility after the LH surge is approximately 36 hours so this is the best time to have intercourse and increase your chances of conceiving!
