What Can an Ovulation Tracking Kit Do?
Use an ovulation tracking kit to easily monitor your menstrual cycle and determine when your fertile window is. The fertile window includes the day of ovulation, when ovaries release an egg, and the five days preceding it. An egg only remains in the body for about 12 to 24 hours, when it is either fertilized by sperm or left unfertilized and shed during your period.
A fertility tracker uses methods such as temperature tracking, cervical mucus analysis, and/or hormone level monitoring to tell you when your body has released an egg. It also collects and analyzes menstrual cycle data over time, pointing out patterns that tell you when you’re most likely to conceive.
Using a Fertility Tracker for Effective Monitoring
To get the most out of your fertility monitoring kit:
- Start testing several days before you expect to ovulate
- Try to test at the same time every day
- Don’t drink a lot of water before testing since this can dilute your urine
Unlike BBT testing, a digital fertility tracker doesn’t require that you test the second you wake up. However, many people find it easiest to test first thing in the morning before they get busy with their day or drink too much water.
Because these tests are digital, they’ll do most of the heavy lifting for you in terms of interpreting your results. Read the directions carefully so you know the meaning of different displays, and be sure to pay attention to both daily results and how your results trend over time.
Get the Convenience of an At-Home Fertility Monitor
An at-home ovulation tracking kit is a fast and convenient way to know when you’re most fertile each month. Find your favorite, and get all of the information you need without the confusion and inaccuracies of traditional ovulation tests.
