Expected use
The LH One-Step Ovulation Test is an in vitro immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of human luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine to predict the timing of ovulation in women.
Summary and explanation
Luteinizing hormone is always present in human urine. LH rises dramatically just before a woman's most fertile day of the month in a process commonly known as "LH surge." This surge in LH triggers ovulation, the process during which an egg is released from a woman's ovary. Because the egg can only be fertilized between 6 and 24 hours after ovulation, detecting ovulation early by testing for the LH surge is very important for women seeking pregnancy.
