Ovulation test paper weak positive before menstruation

Many people use ovulation test strips to check their physical condition before menstruation. There are two possible results when using an ovulation test strip: a negative result and a positive result. Many women will detect weak positive results using ovulation test strips. In this case, the probability of pregnancy is still relatively high if having sex. Next, I will introduce you to some relevant knowledge about ovulation test strips!

1. Can I get pregnant if the ovulation test paper shows a weak positive result?

First, let us understand the principle of ovulation test strips. The so-called ovulation test paper predicts whether ovulation will occur by detecting the peak level of luteinizing hormone (LH). Generally, women maintain a small amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) in their bodies. The secretion of LH increases rapidly in the middle of the menstrual cycle, which forms a peak. In the next 28 hours, it will stimulate the release of a mature egg, which is what we often call ovulation. However, the accuracy of ovulation test strips is not 100%. Due to the constraints of many factors, its accuracy rate is only about 75%. Having sex when the ovulation test paper shows a weak positive result will increase the chances of pregnancy. This is based on the premise that the male's semen is of high quality. The chances of a boy or a girl should be half and half, because the boy or girl is determined by the male's chromosomes.

2. How much does an ovulation test strip cost?

If you want to prepare for pregnancy successfully, of course you can’t do without the great hero of ovulation test strips. So how much do ovulation test strips cost? Ovulation test strips are generally sold in pharmacies. The prices of different brands are naturally different, but the general price range is between 10-20 yuan. The prices in online stores are relatively cheaper, but it is recommended to choose a trustworthy online store to buy from.

We would also like to remind everyone that ovulation test strips are used to detect ovulation. If you use ovulation test strips to detect early pregnancy, it has its limitations. Even if it can detect whether you are pregnant, the accuracy will be reduced, which can easily lead to missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. Therefore, generally speaking, using ovulation test strips to detect early pregnancy may not be very accurate.

3. When is the best time to use the ovulation test strip?

Many people think that ovulation test strips are used during the ovulation period. In fact, this is wrong. Ovulation test strips are not used during the ovulation period, but before the ovulation period arrives. The ultimate purpose of using ovulation test strips is to detect when ovulation occurs.

Under normal circumstances, a woman ovulates about 14 days before the start of the next menstruation. However, due to external and internal factors, the human body may not ovulate at a fixed time, and may ovulate earlier or later. Therefore, ovulation should be tested a few days in advance. Generally, it should start one week after menstruation and test once a day with ovulation test strips.
