How long after menstruation should the ovulation test strip be used

I don’t know if female friends have ever used ovulation test strips in their daily lives. It mainly uses the progesterone secreted in the female body to test whether a woman is in her ovulation period. For women in the ovulation period, this period is called the dangerous period, and the period outside the ovulation period is called the safe period. Generally speaking, the chance of pregnancy during the safe period is relatively small, so many people do not take contraceptive measures when having sex during the safe period. But how long after menstruation can the ovulation test strip be used?

How long after menstruation should I start using the ovulation test strip? Number of days in the menstrual cycle - 14-4. For example, if the menstrual cycle is 30 days, then it would be 30-14-4=12, and the measurement would start on the 12th day.

The implantation period is 5-10 days after ovulation. If implantation succeeds, it means pregnancy.

For women with regular menstrual cycles, ovulation is usually about 14 days before the start of the next menstruation. Therefore, the 2-3 days before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation are the fertile period. This is the stage when ovulation test strips need to be used for monitoring, which usually needs to be used for 5 consecutive days. Day 8 of a 25-day menstrual cycle

2. Don’t use first-morning urine for testing

The best time for testing is from 10 am to 8 pm every day, and try to use urine collected at almost the same time. The first urine in the morning cannot represent the actual value because of the LH value accumulated overnight, so it is best not to use it. In addition, do not drink too much water within 2 hours before the test to avoid diluting the luteinizing hormone in the urine and affecting the test results.

3. Read the results within the time specified in the instructions.

When using, you should strictly follow the instructions and read the results within the specified time. If the specified time is exceeded, the results will be invalid.
