Why is the ovulation test paper light in color?

Many women feel like they are possessed during the pregnancy preparation stage. Every month after their period, they wonder when they will ovulate, so that they can arrange sex when they ovulate and get pregnant earlier. In order to better find their ovulation day, many women choose to use ovulation test strips for testing. However, sometimes they find that the color of the ovulation test strips has not changed much. So why is the ovulation test strip light in color?

Ovulation test strips mainly measure the hormone luteinizing hormone (LH) in women's bodies, detect the peak level of luteinizing hormone, and enable women to predict the best time for conception or contraception. First, let us understand what is ovulation day and dangerous period.

Ovulation day: It takes one or two days for the mature egg to travel from the ovary through the fallopian tube and into the uterus, but these 48 hours seem so short. It usually occurs about 14 days before the next menstrual period.

Dangerous period: These 48 hours are definitely a high-risk period for pregnancy, but it does not mean that all will be fine if you have sex during these two days, because sperm is a tenacious hunter. It can survive for about 72 hours after entering the uterus and will lurk in the uterus for three days to capture the newly appeared eggs at any time. Therefore, the 3 days before and after ovulation, a period of about 7 days including the ovulation day, are locked as the dangerous period, which is also the period when it is easy to get pregnant. The remaining days without menstruation are the safe period.

After using the ovulation test strip, a red strip appears in the control line area or the test line is lighter than the control line. If a red strip appears, that is, the control line is colored and the test line is not colored, it means there is no ovulation; if two red strips appear and the test line is significantly lighter than the control line, it means that the LH level in the urine has not yet reached its peak and daily testing must be continued.

Therefore, there is no need to worry if the color of the ovulation test paper becomes lighter. It just means that ovulation has not yet reached its peak, which means it is not the so-called ovulation day.

After knowing what the light color of the ovulation test paper means, if you are worried that the ovulation test paper is not very accurate, it is recommended that you pay attention to your leucorrhea while using the ovulation test paper. If the leucorrhea appears to be stringy, it means that you will ovulate soon. Arranging sexual intercourse at this time still has a high chance of pregnancy.
