What is an Ovulation Predictor?
An ovulation predictor is a tool that hopeful couples use to predict when a woman will ovulate and when she should try to become pregnant. The ovulation predictor looks very much like a home pregnancy test. It is a plastic stick with a urine collector at one end and a result window on the other. Its function is to detect a surge in luteinizing hormone (LH), which signals the ovary to release an egg, resulting in ovulation. It is at this time in a woman’s cycle that she is able to conceive.
