Ever felt that certain urge to give birth to a baby? Or may be prevent the chances of having one? Which ever of the two your wish is, you will need detecting your ovulation period and then plan your sex accordingly.
During your reproductive years, once in a month, one of them several follicles in your ovaries ripen and therefore produce an egg (female gamete). This egg then travels into the woman's uterus through the fallopian tube. When the egg has reach uterus or the womb, can either implanted in the uterine lining after fertilization, or get shed out during her menstruation. This entire process is known as ovulation. During the period of ovulation, which occurs in the 12-14 day of the menstrual cycle, the woman tends to become fertile, meaning that it can join with a sperm (male gamete) and produce a baby. The chances of fertilization are decreased as the as the woman's distance from the ovulation date increases. This fertility date can vary from person to person, hence for detecting ovulation several detection methods are used by women to detect their fertility.
Ovulation Predictor Kits are one of the leading methods to carry out a home fertility test. These kits work by detecting the amount of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the person's urine. The level of this luteinizing hormone increases as the date of ovulation comes nearer, which means that fertile periods of women can be detected by usage of the ovulation predictor kits during a wide range of dates of ovulation, allowing oneself to analyze the pattern or the surge and thereby make an accurate estimation for properly detecting ovulation date. These kits also allow the women to detect ovulation issues, like whether the ovulation is even occurring as menstruation can sometimes occur without ovulation too.
However, Ovulation Predictor Kits are helpful for the women who have regular periods only. Females with very irregular menstrual flow may find it difficult to detect their fertility dates by these kits, as they only give a positive or negative response without telling the amount of luteinizing hormone present, and hence they might have look into other kinds of home fertility tests or might even have to see the doctor in some cases. Ovulation Predictor Kits are even expensive and sometimes confusing as one test is of about $2-$7, depending upon the brand, and if the results get confusing (as they have to pee on a stick which is sometimes difficult) the user will need to repeat the test which makes it even costlier. Albeit, the good thing is that, once you start having the positive result surge, there is no need for a retest.
Ovulation Predictor Kits are mostly used by women who desire to get pregnant. In this case, by detecting ovulation date, they deduce the days which would be best to approach their partner. So, next time if you wish to get pregnant, Ovulation Predictor Kits can definitely help you plan the right to time to get him sexually aroused for some productive mating!
