4. Read results in five minutes. Do not read results after more
than 5 minutes.
HOW TO READ THE RESULTS
Negative (No LH Surge) :
Only one color band appears on the control region, or the test
band appears but is lighter than the control band. This means
there is no LH surge.
Positive (LH Surge) :
If two color bands are visible, and the test band is equal to or
darker than the control band, ovulation will probably begin in the
next 24-48 hours. If trying to get pregnant, the best time to have
intercourse is after 24 but before 48 hours.
Invalid:
If no band is visible, or there is a visible band only in the test
region and not in the control region, the result is invalid. Repeat
with a new test kit.
LIMITATIONS
1. The test works only when the test procedures are precisely
followed.
2. This test may not be used as a form of birth control.
3. Consult a doctor if irregular or unusually long cycles are
experienced.
QUESTIONS &ANSWERS
1.My cycle length is outside of the range show in the table. How
will I know when to start testing? Start testing 17 days before
you expect your next period.
2.I do not know my usual cycle length. How will I know when to
start testing? If you wish to start using the test before knowing
your cycle length, we recommend you start testing on day 10.
3.What time of day should I take the test? You may test any
time of day, but you should test at approximately the same time
each day. You should not have urinated for at least 4 hours
before testing.
4.There is a big difference between the control lines of two tests.
Is this a concern? No. Variations in the color of the control band
will not affect the test result. It is only necessary to compare the
color of the test band to that of the control band on the same
test on the day the test is performed.
5.Can test results be interpreted after more than five minutes?
No. Test results must be read in 5 minutes. Though a positive
result should not change for several days, a negative result may
change to a false positive within minutes after the end of the
testing period, which would not be an accurate reading. It is
always best to read the results 5 minutes after taking the test
and then discarding the test to avoid confusion.
6.How long should I continue to perform the test? At least 5
days or until the LH surge has been detected.
7.Do alcohol or common medications affect the test? No, but
you should consult your physician if you are taking any
medication.
8.Once I see a positive result, when is the best time to have
intercourse? Ovulation is likely to occur within 24-48 hours. This
is your most fertile time. Sexual intercourse is advised within
this time frame.
9.Will the amount of liquid I drink affect the result? We suggest
that you limit your fluid intake for about two hours before you
collect your urine. Heavy intake of fluids prior to testing will
dilute the hormone in your urine.
