1. Please read the instructions before you begin
– You need to know your usual cycle length before you start, to ensure you test at the right time
– To determine your cycle length, count the day period starts (first day of full menstrual flow) as Day 1, and continue counting through to the day BEFORE your next period starts – the number of days is your cycle length.
– Once you know your cycle length, use the table below to find out when to start testing:

– You can test at any time of the day, but you should test at the same time of day each day.
– Try not to urinate for four hours before you do the ovulation test, and you should avoid excessive fluid intake before testing – you might find it easier to use the first urine of the day.
2. Get the ovulation test ready
– Remove the ovulation test stick from the foil wrapper.
– Remove the cap
– Before applying urine to the ovulation test stick it must be inserted into the test holder.
– Align the pink arrow on the ovulation test stick with the pink arrow on the test holder and insert until it clicks into place.
– Wait for the ‘test ready’ symbol to appear and take the ovulation test immediately.
3. Take the test
– Place the Absorbent Sampler pointing downwards in your urine stream for 5 to 7 seconds.
– Or collect a sample of your urine in a clean, dry container. Dip the absorbent tip in the urine for 15 seconds.
– Do not get the test holder wet.
4. Wait for 3 minutes
– Keep the sampler pointing downwards or lay the Test Stick flat. Throughout testing never hold the test with the absorbent tip pointing upwards.
– After 20 to 40 seconds the ‘test ready’ symbol will start flashing to show the ovulation test is working.
– Do not eject the ovulation test stick before you get your result.
– Replace the ovulation test stick’s cap and wait for 3 minutes.
5. Read your results
Within 3 minutes the Display will show your result.
No LH surge: If you get a ‘blank circle’, the test hasn’t detected your LH surge. Test again at the same time tomorrow using a new ovulation test stick.
LH surge: A ‘smiley face’ means you’ve detected your LH surge. Your 2 most fertile days are today and tomorrow so having sex in the next 48 hours will maximize your chances of getting pregnant.
– Once you have read your final result eject the ovulation test stick and throw it away.
– Your result can only be read on the test holder display – you cannot determine your result from any lines on the ovulation test stick.
– Your result will remain on the display for 8 minutes.
– Do not re-insert a used ovulation test stick.
