For women with regular menstrual cycles, ovulation usually occurs around 14 days before the next menstrual cycle begins. Therefore, the fertile period is generally 2-3 days before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation, which is the stage that requires continuous monitoring using ovulation test paper for 5 days.

The best time for testing is from 10 am to 8 pm every day, using urine from approximately the same time. The first morning urine is not recommended because it has accumulated overnight and the LH value in the urine may not represent the actual value. Additionally, avoid drinking excessive water within 2 hours before testing to prevent dilution of luteinizing hormone in the urine, which may affect the test results.

Strictly follow the instructions when using the ovulation test paper and read the results within the specified time. Results read after the specified time will be invalid.

After testing, it is recommended to keep the test paper or pen for comparison with future tests or to record the test results in detail until the LH peak is detected.
