No, the test cannot be used for contraception.
Scientific studies have revealed that OvuQUICK has a 99% safety level.
Generally, the basal method can only indicate that ovulation has already occured. OvuQUICK, on the other hand, shows that the ovulation is imminent. Thus, it does not replace the basal method in any way.
No, this does not influence the test result at all. However, hormonal contraception might influence your natural hormonal balance so that irregularities in your cycle might occur. In order to determine the exact length of your cycle we recommend its observation for at least two or three months before you start using the ovulation test.
If your cycle is 21 or fewer days then you start using OvuQUICK on day 5. If your cycle is 40 or more days then you start using OvuQUICK on day 23.
If your cycle differ for more than three days per month then you should refer to the shortest cycle within the last six months.
No, but you should consult a doctor if you use drugs on a hormonal therapy. Recent usage of contraceptives, breastfeeding or a pregnancy can influence the result.
The first void urine cannot be used as it is very concentrated and thus might give a wrongly positive result. Every later time of day is suitable. For optimal test results you might want to perform the test at exactly the same time on each testing day.
No. Every urine sample has a different chemical composition - this also reflects to the atmospheric humidity of the environment in which you perform the test. These differences might result in the slightly red background colour; however, this does not affect the test results.
After five minutes you get the optimal result. A positive result (LH-surge) remains permanently visible. Negative results might show a slightly red line in the area of the testing lines. Thus you should not read the result later ten minutes after performing it.
Your ovulation will start within 24-36 hours. From now on this is your most fertile period and you should sleep with your partner within the next 36 hours.
Repeat the test as soon as possible. Do not urinate for at least four hours before you perform the second test, so try to avoid drinking. Follow the test instructions as exactly as possible and do not wait until the next day, otherwise you might miss the LH-surge.
There are many factors that might influence your ability to get pregnant. Even absolutely healthy couples may have to wait months until they finally get pregnant. It is often necessary to apply OvuQUICK during a period of three to four months. If you still cannot get pregnant you should consult a doctor.
Generally, the performance of five tests is sufficient to attest a LH-surge for women who have a regular menstrual cycle. If the length of your cycles differ by more than three days then you might need to use a ten-test package of OvuQUICK. You can also use this package for two cycles.
After three months of testing you should consult a doctor if you still cannot determine a LH-surge or if there is a LH-surge and you do not get pregnant.
You can use a pregnancy test (urine test) already ten or twelve days after the estimated conception date; so potentially even before your menstrual cycles stop. Through a blood test you can confirm a pregnancy as soon as six days after the conception.
