I found the app to work well with Premom Quantitative LH Test Strips and Easy@Home LH Test Strips. In this category, Femometer was my favorite brand. Their tests were cost-effective and allowed me to test multiple times per day — which the scientist in me loved! I also found these to be the easiest strips to read. The test line was almost non-existent on negative tests, so the positive test was distinct once I hit peak fertility. You can see how each of the different tests look below.

If you’re trying to get pregnant, consider getting a pregnancy test kit which also includes an ovulation kit. An ovulation test helps you know when your body is ovulating by measuring your luteinizing hormone. A day or two before you ovulate, these hormones rise. As a result, you can determine when you are ovulating. You will need to urinate into a cup and then dip in an ovulation test strip to get a result. Femometer LH Test Strips showed the clearest change from negative to positive and for me, were the easiest to read. I also liked that I was able to test multiple times per day with these strips. I really like both Clearblue and Pearl, so for this category, it’s a tie! Clearblue Advanced Digitals measures two hormones: LH and E1G, which is the urine metabolite of estrogen. Results are shown as a circle (low fertility), a flashing smiley face (high fertility), or a static smiley face (peak fertility). These simple results made the tests super easy to read. Because Clearblue also measures E1G, it was able to give me a 5-day long fertile window versus the 1-2 day window only LH tests showed. I found these tests to be accurate, easy to use and interpret. Tests will turn a certain color, or display a sign to indicate a surge in LH and/or E3G such as smiley faces or lines that get darker as you get closer to ovulation. Your test kit will come with instructions that explain how to read the results. Will an ovulation test be positive if you're pregnant? Of these tests, Premom Semi-Quantitative LH Test strips were my favorite. They were cost-effective and the Premom app was great at reading them.FDA. 2014b. Ovulation (saliva test).

Some kits will come with three or five pregnancy tests, while others can include up to 20 pregnancy test strips.

Of all 13 brands of OPKs I tried, only two did not result in a positive result: EPT Digital and Mira. Both were able to detect an increase of LH over the other days, but EPT’s readout was “NO” everyday and on the day of my LH surge, Mira only gave me a “high” reading. All other brands showed peak fertility at the same time, although I found some easier to read than others. The good news is that almost all LH tests were accurate for me and detected the surge at the right time. Finally, I made sure to have my Proov tests handy to confirm ovulation after the OPKs showed peak fertility. I was ready to test (according to the instructions, of course!). The Experiment Some pregnancy tests need to be used the day after your missed period would have started. However, if you don’t want to wait that long, there are now pregnancy tests that can be used five or six days before your expected period, so you can have results much sooner. Like other test strip kits, these require you to collect your urine, which is a messier process than holding a test in your stream. Reliable Results: These ovulation test strips provide reliable results with over 99% accuracy, ensuring you can trust the test’s precision and accuracy.MedlinePlus. 2020. Progesterone Test.
