Ovulation Pro Read

• What is ovulation?

  Ovulation is the release of a mature egg from the ovary during the menstrual cycle, making it possible for fertilization to occur. This marks the most fertile period for females who are trying to conceive.

• How long does ovulation last?

  Ovulation is a one-day event that lasts roughly around 12-24 hours. It takes place within your fertile window, which includes the 5-6 days leading up to ovulation.

• I’m using my phone’s ovulation tracking app. Isn’t that enough to identify my fertile period?

  Most cycle-tracking apps predict ovulation based on a one-size-fits-all model — it’s commonly thought that ovulation happens on day 14 of a standard 28 day-cycle. However, for majority of people with ovaries, that’s not the case3. In fact, one study found that the probability of correctly identi...

• What’s the difference between Ovulation Pro Read and the Ovulation Test Kit?

  The Ovulation Test Kit is a rapid ovulation test you can use at home, which indicates when ovulation is likely to occur. On the other hand, the Ovulation Pro Read is a service where you get guidance from experts on when your next fertile window is, so you can know exactly when you should have se...

• Is this service suitable for individuals with longer/shorter cycles?

  Definitely! If you have a longer cycle — for example, your period comes once every 2 months — you may need a longer tracking duration than the standard 20 days. Not to worry, though. Simply leave a remark on the checkout page that you have a longer cycle and we’ll provide you with the personalize...

• Is this service suitable for those with irregular periods (e.g. having PCOS, thyroid disorders)?

  Of course! Even though ovulation tracking for people with irregular periods requires more time and patience, it can still help you stay on track to a positive pregnancy test. If you experience irregular periods, we recommend tracking your ovulation for two months or more to establish a more preci...

• Do I need to buy ovulation test strips separately if I purchase the Ovulation Pro Read?

  That would not be necessary, as the Ovulation Pro Read kit will include ovulation test strips and an ovulation strip organizer for the 20-day period.

• Can I take medications during the 20-day period of Ovulation Reading?

  Do note that medications containing hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) or LH (luteinizing hormone) may affect your test result. The test will not work properly during pregnancy, menopause, or on birth control. Test results should not be affected by pain relievers, antibiotics, or any other commo...

• When should I start testing?

  We recommend starting ovulation testing when you have stopped bleeding completely from your period. This ensures that your hormone surge is captured within the 20-day tracking period. Do note that your tracking start date should be no later than 6 days after your bleeding ends.

• Why is the first pee of the day recommended for testing?

  Testing with the first pee of the day in the morning is highly recommended because it tends to have a higher concentration of hormones. This includes luteinizing hormone (LH), which plays a crucial role in ovulation. A higher hormonal load enhances our test kits' accuracy, providing you with more...

• What happens if I miss the first pee of the day?

  Missing the first pee of the day can slightly impact the accuracy of your ovulation tracking results. However, not all is lost! You can still test later in the day, preferably after holding your urine for at least 4 hours. Do note that the LH surge leading to ovulation can vary throughout the da...

• Can I choose not to use my first morning pee for ovulation tracking?

  While the first morning pee is preferred for its higher hormonal load, we understand that it may not always be possible or convenient for everyone. In such cases, we recommend the evening pee (the last pee right before sleep) as an alternative. This is to maintain consistency by using the ovulat...

• Do I need to take the midstream urine sample?

  You don’t have to take the midstream sample. Collecting the first pee of the day would be sufficient!

• Is it ok if I forgot to track on certain days?

  Absolutely! We understand that life can get busy, and missing a day or two of tracking won't affect your report’s accuracy much. However, the more data you include, the more precise your report will be. If it’s possible, track as often as you can — ideally, you should do the test every day for 2...

• If I get my period within the 20-day testing duration, what should I do?

  Don't worry if you are unable to complete the full 20-day testing period. Do continue testing until your next period arrives and simply submit all the data you have up to the day before your period begins.

• How do I label my ovulation test strips in the Ovulation Strip Organizer?

  Indicate the time of day & start date of tracking from the day your period has ended. For example, if you’ve started tracking after the 2nd day from when your period has ended, label it like this: 2nd day – 7am.

• How should I store the Ovulation Strip Organizer?

  It’s best to store the Ovulation Strip Organizer in a cool and dry place. For hygiene purposes, you can consider putting the Organizer in a ziplock bag before storing it.
