The Fertility2Family Midstream Ovulation Test is a fast and easy-to-use method of predicting ovulation. The test detects the Luteinizing Hormone (LH) surge , which occurs 12 to 48 hours before ovulation, signalling the best time to have intercourse to achieve pregnancy.

When to Begin Testing for Ovulation

Pinpointing your fertile window starts with understanding your menstrual cycle. Follow these steps to create a clear testing timeline:

• Mark Day 1 as the first day of your period.
• Determine your cycle length—the days from the start of one period to the day before the next. In a typical 28-day cycle, ovulation usually occurs around Day 14.
• Begin midstream ovulation testing 2–3 days before your expected ovulation. For a 28-day cycle, start on Day 11.
• For cycles longer or shorter than 28 days, estimate ovulation by subtracting 14 from your cycle length. Then, begin testing 2–3 days before. For example:
  • A 30-day cycle: Ovulation around Day 16, start testing on Day 13.
  • A 26-day cycle: Ovulation around Day 12, start testing on Day 9.
• Test once daily for five days or until you detect an LH surge.

This timeline follows proven fertility tracking methods to help you identify your most fertile days. If your cycle is consistently under 21 days or over 38 days, speak with a healthcare professional for personalised guidance.

Midstream Ovulation Test Instructions

Always be sure to read the instructions that accompany the ovulation test carefully before use.

1. Remove the Midstream Ovulation Test device from the sealed pouch.
2. Remove the cap to expose the absorbent tip, avoiding contact with the absorbent end.
3. Hold the stick by the thumb grip with the exposed absorbent tip pointing downward. Urinate onto the absorbent tip only until it is thoroughly wet.
4. Recap the device and lay the test stick down on a flat surface with the window facing up.

Interpretation of Midstream Ovulation Results

Invalid: If the control line does not appear, the test is invalid. Follow these steps:

• Fully saturate the absorbent tip with urine, avoiding contamination.
• Check your technique to ensure proper positioning and handling of the test device.
• Wait the full recommended reaction time of up to 10 minutes before reading the result.

If the control line remains absent, repeat the test with a new, properly stored kit that is within its expiry date. This reduces errors and boosts confidence in your ovulation tracking.

Midstream Ovulation Test FAQs

The test line is lighter than the control line. Am I ovulating?

• A faint test line may mean you’re nearing or ending your LH surge.
• A positive result occurs when the test line matches or is darker than the control line.
• Track results daily to pinpoint your ovulation accurately.

What should I do if I have a very light test line on my midstream ovulation test?

• A very light test line often appears just before or after the peak LH surge.
• Continue testing daily until the test line matches or exceeds the control line.
• Regular monitoring helps define your fertile window precisely.

Will the amount of liquid I drink affect the result?

• Drinking too much fluid can dilute your urine, lowering detectable LH levels.
• Limit fluids for at least two hours before testing.
• Stay normally hydrated without overconsuming to ensure reliable results.

• For accurate ovulation monitoring, read your test results within 5 to 10 minutes of use.
• Checking too early may not show the full reaction, and waiting longer than 10 minutes can cause misleading colour changes.
• To reliably detect your LH surge and plan your fertility, follow this timeframe and discard the test after 10 minutes.

When is the optimal time of day to test for ovulation?

• Test between 10:00 am and 8:00 pm when urinary LH levels peak.
• Testing at the same time each day improves accuracy.
• This timeframe aligns with natural fertility patterns.

Once I see a positive result, when is the best time to have intercourse?

• A positive test means ovulation is likely within the next 12 to 48 hours.
• Have intercourse soon after a positive result to maximise conception chances.
• Understanding your fertile window helps refine your timing.

How accurate is the Fertility2Family Midstream Ovulation Test?

• Lab studies show over 99% accuracy in detecting the LH surge.
• The test is designed for reliable and effective ovulation tracking.
• Trust its proven performance for informed fertility planning.

Do Fertility2Family Midstream Ovulation Tests Replace BBT Tracking?

• Ovulation tests detect the surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), signalling that ovulation will likely occur within the next 12 to 48 hours.
• BBT tracking measures a slight rise in resting body temperature after ovulation due to increased progesterone, confirming the egg has been released.
• Using both methods provides a complete view of your fertility cycle: midstream ovulation tests offer a window for timing intercourse, while BBT tracking serves as a confirmatory tool for long-term cycle analysis and planning.

How do I know if I am pregnant?

• Use a sensitive Fertility2Family pregnancy test for early detection.
• Start testing about 7 days before your expected period for initial results.
• Confirm positive results with your healthcare provider for accuracy.

I received a positive ovulation test result and had intercourse during the fertile window, but I have not become pregnant. What should I do?

• It’s normal for conception to take several months, even for healthy couples.
• Continue tracking your cycle and testing for ovulation regularly.
• If you’re not pregnant after 6 to 12 months, consult your healthcare professional for further advice.

CONTENTS

Each pouch contains one midstream ovulation test and one desiccant.

STORAGE & STABILITY

Store the Fertility2Family Midstream Ovulation Test in a cool, dry place between 4°C and 25°C. Keep the kit away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and high humidity areas—such as bathrooms or near open windows—to maintain reagent accuracy. Retain the test in its original sealed packaging until use and do not freeze it. Following these guidelines ensures the test remains stable and reliable for up to 18 months.

Guidance for Women with Irregular Menstrual Cycles

If your menstrual cycle is unpredictable, keep a fertility diary to improve tracking with midstream ovulation tests. Record the date and time of each test and note physical symptoms like cervical mucus changes, slight spotting, or breast tenderness. If you track your basal body temperature, log your morning readings before getting out of bed. These records help identify patterns over cycles, providing clearer insight into your fertile window. If your cycle remains erratic despite tracking, consult a local fertility specialist for personalised advice.

Variability in LH Surge Dynamics

Minor changes in test line intensity are normal and reflect natural fluctuations in your LH levels. Whether the line is slightly lighter or darker, this variation does not affect the reliability of your midstream ovulation test. Trust these subtle changes as a routine part of testing and continue to monitor your cycle as usual.

WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS

• As with all diagnostic tests, a definitive diagnosis should not be based on a single test result but should be made by a doctor after all clinical and laboratory findings have been evaluated.
• Read the instructions carefully before performing this Midstream LH test. Pay attention to the position of the test and control line on the midstream ovulation test.
• Do not use it beyond the labelled expiry date.
• Do not reuse the ovulation test devices. Discard the product after a single use.
• Do not touch the membrane located within the test panel.
• Do not use if the pouch is damaged or open.
• The device should be used immediately after opening the pouch. Prolonged exposure to ambient humidity will cause product deterioration.
• Treat urine samples and used devices as if they are potentially infectious. Avoid contact.
• Discard desiccant safely.
• Some medications can affect the result of an OPK and the LH surge. Please consult your healthcare professional if you are taking any medications.
