Frequently Asked Questions

Is it possible to use the test as a contraceptive?

No, the test cannot be used for contraception.

How reliable is OvuQUICK?

Scientific studies have revealed that OvuQUICK has a 99% safety level.

Currently I use the method of measuring basal body temperature. Does OvuQUICK replace this method?

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.

I have just recently quit hormonal contraception - does this have any effect on the test result?

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.

The length of my cycle does not agree with the zones in the table- when should I start to use the 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.

Which cycle should I refer to in order to calculate the testing day if my last cycles have been irregular for more than a few days?

If your cycle differ for more than three days per month then you should refer to the shortest cycle within the last six months.

Do alcohol and/ or common drugs have an effect on the test result?

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.

Why is it not possible to use the first void urine for the test? Which time of day is particularly appropriate for testing?

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.

After I added the urine a slightly red colour appeared in the result field of the test. Is that problematic?

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.

For how long can one see the result line?

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.

When is the best time to have sex if OvuQUICK shows a positive test result?

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.

I committed an error during the test. What can I do?

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.

Is there a guarantee that a positive test result in combination with sex in the fertile period result in a pregnancy?

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.

I performed all tests correctly, but I still could not detect a LH-surge. What can I do now?

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.

How early can a pregnancy be confirmed?

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.
