What are the Tests for ovulation?

If you have intervals between menses of longer than 34 days, poly cystic ovarian disease (PCOD) is suspected. This is confirmed be finding a ring of small follicles in your ovaries on ultrasound scanning.

How do ovulation tests (or Ovulation Predictor Kits, OPK) work?

Early Pregnancy Tests and Ovulation Predictor Kits: FAQ
The ovulation predictor kit is designed to detect luteinizing hormone, or LH. In elevated quantities, LH causes ovulation. During the menstrual cycle only a small amount of LH is made, but in the middle of the cycle LH briefly and dramatically increases. This increase is called the "LH surge" and precedes ovulation. Conception is most likely to occur within thirty-six hours following the LH surge.

The length of the menstrual cycle is the number of days from the first day of menstrual bleeding to the day before bleeding begins on the next period. Most women have about a 28-day cycle, but it varies from person to person. You will need to determine the usual length of the menstrual cycle over the last few months.

What is ovulation?

CycleBeads - Frequently Asked Questions
Ovulation is the release of an egg by the woman's ovary. In almost every menstrual cycle, the woman's ovary releases an egg. There are thousands of eggs inside the woman's ovaries. The natural chemicals in her body trigger the development of one of these eggs every cycle. When the egg is ready to be fertilized, it comes out of the ovary and travels down the woman's tubes to her uterus. If the man's sperm has fertilized it, the egg can attach itself to the uterus and the woman is pregnant.

Ovulation Calculator: Ovulation
Ovulation - the most fertile time during your menstrual cycle - is the moment a mature egg is released from the follicle of an ovary. Once released, the egg has a life span of about 24 hours. Conception is most likely to take place at this time - so precise ovulation prediction is key. Below you will find an FAQ of Ovulation Basics. Also see Understanding your Menstrual Cycle.

Ovulation Kits - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked Quest...
Ovulation is the process of an ovary releasing an egg from the follicle, permitting the egg to float down the fallopian tubes. Conception, or fertilization, occurs when the male's sperm meets with the woman's ovum (egg) and successfully penetrates it, typically in a fallopian tube. Then the fertilized egg travels to the uterus and implants in the uterine lining. For pregnancy to take place, fertilization of the egg must be followed by a successful implantation.
