Pregnancy and Ovulation

Pregnancy Tests:

• First urine of the day: To obtain the most accurate results, it is recommended to perform the test with the first urine of the morning. This is because the concentration of hCG in the urine is highest at that time.
  
• Wait until the day of your period: If you are trying to conceive and want to know if you are pregnant, wait until the day your period should start before taking the test. If the test is negative and your period does not start, you can repeat it in a few days for greater accuracy.

Ovulation Tests:

< li>Knowing your cycle: It is essential to know the typical length of your menstrual cycle to determine when to start performing ovulation tests. Ovulation usually occurs around day 14 in a 28-day cycle, but this can vary for each woman.
• Starting testing: Begin testing several days before your estimated ovulation date, especially if your cycles are irregular or longer or shorter than the average 28 days. This will help you identify the surge in luteinizing hormone (LH) that precedes ovulation.
  
• Time of day: Although it is not necessary to test for ovulation with the first urine of the day, Make sure you do it at the same time every day for consistent results.
  
• LH monitoring: Continue testing until you detect a significant rise in LH, which is a sign that the Ovulation will occur in the next 24-48 hours. This is the optimal time to try to conceive if you are looking to get pregnant.
