Ovulation predictor kit

A urine test that detects the LH surge a day or so before ovulation.

Tests & investigations

A positive result suggests ovulation is likely within 24 to 36 hours, marking the best two days for intercourse or for timing IUI. Results can be misleading in polycystic ovary syndrome, where LH may be persistently raised.

Also known as: OPK, LH strips, ovulation test
