WHEN TO START TESTING
The day the LH surge occurs varies from woman to woman and from one cycle to another.
To have the best chance of detecting your LH surge, you need to know your usual cycle No LH Surge LH Surge
length. To work out your cycle length, count the day your period starts (first day of full
menstrual flow) as Day 1, and continue counting through to the day before your next period
starts. The number of days is your cycle length. If you do not know your usual cycle length
or your cycle length varies, refer to Question 1 in Q&A.
Use the table below to work out the day you should start testing. You can test any time of the day, but it should be at about the same
time each day (many women find it most convenient first thing in the morning). It is important that you have not urinated for at least
4 hours before testing, and you should avoid excessive fluid intake before testing.
