Ovulation Predictor Kits – Finding Your Window Of Opportunity

The truth is: ovulation predictor kits are just about as easy as using home pregnancy kits. You basically only have to add a small amount of urine to the bottom of the stick and results will immediately show in the window as to how much your LH levels are, and whether or not these are on an elevated scale.

Kits like these have helped women from all over the world (especially those with long or infrequent menstrual cycles) time the baby dance so that they can successfully conceive. It is important to note that it is imperative that both you and your partner is physically able to conceive and that there is logical problems hindering conception.

But how exactly do these ovulation predictor kits work?

Let’s start with the basics. When the female brain decides that this particular moment is the right time to get pregnant, it releases an exceptionally large volume of substance called Luteinizing Hormones or simply LH. In turn, these hormones send signals to the rest of the body that trigger reproductive action, which might include: releasing an egg cell into the fallopian tube, increasing the mucosal lining of the cervix, allowing more blood to flow into the uterine lining, and hightening a women’s sex drive.

Other secondary reproductive actions might include: the woman’s hypersensitivity to noise or smells, pains in the lower abdominal area (usually associated with the ovulation process) and incessant food cravings. These aforementioned reproductive actions can happen in a span of a week or even as short as 3 days only.

Unlike pregnancy kits though, ovulation predictor kits must be used daily, religiously and consistently in a span of 2 months or more. This is to help establish precisely when LH levels are on the rise, when the highest LH levels happen, and how long before the peak cycle will begins again.

By knowing these elements, one can predict the onset of the woman’s fertile period and her ovulating stage by 70% to 74%. Though these figures are not as good as a 100% guarantee, it can close in on the fertility window of opportunity considerably.

For women who have long menstrual cycles or those who menstruate only after a couple of months at the very least, ovulation predictor kits can help pinpoint a specific time period when your fertile cycle is happening. From personal experience I know the challenge of trying to figure out when ovulation occurs and having a way to know when ovulation happens greatly increases the chances of conceiving as well as eliminating the guessing game of trying to figure out if you have or have not actually ovulated.
