What will the ovulation test strip show after ovulation?

The ovulation test strip detects the value of "progesterone converted into growth hormone" in women to determine whether it is the ovulation period. So how does the ovulation test strip display information after the ovulation period? Before using ovulation test strips, women need to first understand their menstrual cycle. Urine within one day can be tested. Ovulation test strips cannot 100% confirm that eggs have been produced. So how does the ovulation test strip display information after the ovulation period?

How does the ovulation test strip display information after ovulation?

1. Under normal circumstances, women ovulate about 14 days before the next menstrual period. However, due to external and internal factors, women may not ovulate at a fixed time, and may ovulate earlier or later. Therefore, ovulation testing should be done a few days in advance, usually 17 or 18 days before the next menstrual period.

2. The changes in LH hormone in women during the menstrual cycle are mainly reflected in the pregnancy test paper. That is to say, the ovulation test paper is negative in the safe period, and it will change from weak positive to positive and strong positive when it is about to ovulate. When it reaches the highest value, the average ovulation period is 16.5 hours after the highest value. After reaching the highest value, LH hormone decreases rapidly. At this time, the pregnancy test paper shows weak positive, and then, it gradually becomes negative. There are individual differences. Some girls may continue to test weak positive, which is generally no problem.

3. Because the LH hormone level is changing, and when it reaches its peak is not fixed, when the test shows a weak positive close to a positive type, if you test it once a day, you may miss the peak time and not know the time of ovulation. Therefore, it is best to test it twice a day (once every 6 hours).

4. In general: ovulation testing should start 17 or 8 days before the next menstrual period, and should be continued until the ovulation period is confirmed. When the test shows a weak positive to positive type, test twice a day.

Ways to monitor ovulation

There are many ways to monitor ovulation. You can do it yourself or through a physical examination in a hospital, but the more reliable way is B-ultrasound examination.

1. Ovulation temperature method. Ovulation body temperature refers to the body temperature when the body is in a completely resting state. It can more accurately reflect the function of the uterus and ovaries during ovulation and the corresponding endocrine changes. After the woman wakes up in the morning, but before waking up, she should not do anything. She should place an electronic thermometer under the bottom of her tongue in her mouth for 5 minutes and then remove it. She should enter the body temperature data and record it on the temperature record sheet. Then, she should lower the mercury column on the electronic thermometer to below 35.5 degrees and put it back to its original place, ready to try again after waking up the next morning. In addition, the temperature record should also record whether there is a fever, cold, fever, insomnia, sexual intercourse and menstruation. Detailed records will help doctors identify the role of ovulation.

2. Cervical mucus method. Cervical mucus is produced by special cells in the cervical canal. Its secretion amount and characteristics change with the change of ovulation and menstrual cycle. During a menstrual cycle, cervical mucus is like egg white, with low viscosity, smooth and quite stretchable. The thumb and ring finger can pull the mucus into longer flocs (up to more than 10 cm). At this time, the vulva feels noticeably moist. It is generally felt that the secretion is clear and transparent like egg white. The day with the longest secretion is likely to be the ovulation period. On this day and the 3 days before and after are the ovulation period, and you can arrange for sexual intercourse the next day.
