HOW TO USE OVULATION PREDICTOR KITS

Test at the same time each day. Usually your first pee of the day is best since the recommendation is to not pee for four hours prior to taking the test. 

Always follow the instructions on your test kit, but some general guidelines are:

For ovulation strips:

• Pee into a cup (yes, we know it’s gross). *

• Dip the end of your strip into the cup and hold for 5-10 seconds

• Lay the strip flat on your counter (we recommend putting it on top of the wrapper)

• Wait a couple minutes, if the strips have two visible lines, you are ovulating. (example image)

For ClearBlue Advanced Digital Ovulation tests (LTA’s recommended ovulation predictor test):

1. Insert the new stick into the reader

2. Pee into a cup (yes, we know it’s gross). *

3. Dip the end of your stick into the cup and hold for 5-10 seconds

4. Replace the lid on your stick 

5. Lay the stick flat on your counter (we recommend putting it on top of the wrapper)

6. Wait a couple minutes, if the stick has a blinking smiley face (it will blink for five minutes) you are in your fertile window. If the smiley face is solid (ie. does not blink) it will do so for 48 hours and you are in your peak fertility period. 

7. Expel the used portion of the stick into the garbage. 

*Note most kits do not come with a cup so we recommend using a small plastic cup that you wash after each use or purchasing a pack of disposable paper cups.
