Whether you are the very beginning of your trying to conceive journey or well on your way, using ovulation test kits will help you understand how your body works. Finding out exactly when your body releases an egg from your ovary, ovulation, will help you pin point your most fertile time of the month. Two days in your cycle, the day before ovulation and the day of ovulation are when you are most likely to become pregnant.

How do ovulation tests work?
Luteinizing hormone (LH) is always present in human urine. LH increases dramatically just before women's most fertile day of the month in a process commonly referred to as the "LH Surge" This LH increase triggers ovulation, which means an egg is released from woman's ovary.

What time of day should I test?
The best times to test are between 11am and 3pm and 5pm and 10pm. If you want to make sure that you catch your LH surge, you may want to test twice a day, once in the earlier time frame and the other in the later time frame. Please keep in mind that while you may have the initial surge of LH earlier in the day if testing via blood tests, you will not get a positive result on the ovulation test until 4-5 hours later when the surge actually reaches your urine. Be sure to test at the same time each day.

How long after my LH surge should I ovulate?
Ovulation tests detect the ovulation hormone, luteinising hormone (LH), which rises or 'surges' 24-36 hours before you ovulate.

Once I detect my LH surge, when should I have intercourse?
Have sex during the 48 hours following your LH Surge to maximize your chances of getting pregnant during this cycle.

Special Considerations
Some prescription drugs, such as menotropins may affect the test result. Certain rare medical conditions or the onset of menopause can cause elevated levels of LH. Some women do not ovulate every cycle and they will not see any increase in the level of LH hormone during these non-ovulating cycles. Women with Poly Cystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) may not get reliable results from ovuluation tests. Please check with your doctor if you are unsure.

I cannot recommend these Babyhopes OPKs highly enough. I tell all my TTC friends about them.

It took us over a year of TTC baby #1 before hitting the jackpot. In that time, I tried various brands of OPKs. Other brands I tried, which were always MUCH more expensive, were mediocre at best. I'd get half-positives, error tests, and positives that were difficult to interpret.

I finally tried the Babyhopes OPK due to the low cost , it would allow me to test twice a day and catch my sometimes brief LH surge without breaking the bank. In my first cycle of using them I was hooked. They are very easy to read. When I got a positive, it was clearly a positive. I was also charting, so I was able to confirm that for the 12 cycles that I used the babyhopes OPKs they were always correct in predicting my ovulation (with the exception of an annovulatory cycle in there, but that isn't the fault of the test!) I'd estimate I used over 200 (yes,200) of these OPKs and never once did I get a half line or and error. That is a remarkable track record. I'm not guaranteeing you won't have errors, because any test on the market has the potential for errors, but to have used so many tests and never had an error really shows the high quality of these tests.

If you are a little put-off by the fact that you can't pee on a stick (you have to pee in a cup and dip it), I understand. This was my first dip test so I was a bit apprehensive too. But, honestly, you get used to it and almost start to prefer it. It isn't as potentially messy and you don't have to worry about your aim. ;) Plus, who needs all the packaging? When you use as many OPKs as me, all that plastic can add up to a sizable chunk in the landfill. These seem less wasteful.

So in my experience, these are exceptionally high quality OPKs for a bargain price. I'm planning to use nothing but these for TTC baby #2!
