Understanding Your Cycle and Hormones

The Easy@Home combo kit helps you track two key hormones:

• Luteinizing Hormone (LH): A surge in LH indicates that ovulation is likely to occur within 24-48 hours. Tracking this surge helps identify your most fertile window.
• Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG): This hormone is produced shortly after a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of the uterus. HCG can be detected in urine as early as 6-8 days after ovulation.

Ovulation Test (LH Test)

When to Start Testing

To determine when to begin testing, you need to know the length of your menstrual cycle. The cycle length is the number of days from the first day of your period to the day before your next period starts. Refer to the table below for guidance. If your cycle length varies, use your shortest cycle length to determine when to start.

It is recommended to test twice a day (morning and evening) once you begin to detect an LH surge to avoid missing your peak.

How to Perform the LH Test

1. Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry container. Do not use first morning urine as LH can be concentrated and give a false positive.
2. Remove the test strip from its sealed pouch just before use.
3. Dip the strip into the urine sample with the arrow pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse past the MAX line.
4. Hold the strip in the urine for 5-10 seconds until the color rises into the result window.
5. Remove the strip and lay it flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface.
6. Wait 5 minutes for the colored lines to appear. Do not read results after 10 minutes.

Interpreting LH Test Results

Compare the intensity of the test line (T) to the control line (C).

• Positive Result (LH Surge): If the test line (T) is as dark as or darker than the control line (C), this indicates an LH surge. Ovulation is likely to occur within 24-48 hours. This is your most fertile time.
• Negative Result: If the test line (T) is lighter than the control line (C), or no test line appears, there is no LH surge detected. Continue daily testing.
• Invalid Result: If no control line (C) appears, the test is invalid. Discard the test and repeat with a new one.

Pregnancy Test (HCG Test)

When to Perform the HCG Test

The Easy@Home HCG Pregnancy Test can detect pregnancy as early as 6-8 days after ovulation, or several days before your missed period. For best accuracy, it is recommended to test with first morning urine, as it typically contains the highest concentration of HCG.

How to Perform the HCG Test

1. Collect a first morning urine sample in a clean, dry container.
2. Remove the test strip from its sealed pouch just before use.
3. Dip the strip into the urine sample with the arrow pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse past the MAX line.
4. Hold the strip in the urine for 5-10 seconds until the color rises into the result window.
5. Remove the strip and lay it flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface.
6. Wait 3 minutes for the colored lines to appear. Do not read results after 5 minutes.

Interpreting HCG Test Results

Compare the intensity of the test line (T) to the control line (C).

• Positive Result (Pregnant): Two distinct colored lines appear. The test line (T) may be lighter than the control line (C), but any visible test line indicates a positive result.
• Negative Result (Not Pregnant): Only one colored line appears in the control region (C). No test line (T) appears.
• Invalid Result: If no control line (C) appears, the test is invalid. Discard the test and repeat with a new one.

Using the Premom App (Optional)

The Easy@Home tests are compatible with the free Premom Ovulation Predictor App. This app can help you:

• Digitally scan and track your LH and HCG test results.
• Automatically generate a fertility chart.
• Predict your ovulation day and fertile window with greater accuracy.
• Log other fertility signs like Basal Body Temperature (BBT) and cervical mucus.

Storage and Handling

• Store tests at room temperature (2-30°C or 36-86°F) in their original sealed pouches.
• Do not store in direct sunlight, moisture, or heat.
• Do not freeze.
• Use tests immediately after opening the pouch.

Troubleshooting

• No Control Line Appears: This indicates an invalid test. The test may not have been performed correctly, or the strip may be faulty. Discard and retest with a new strip.
• Faint Test Line (LH Test): A faint test line on an LH test means no LH surge has been detected. Continue testing daily.
• Faint Test Line (HCG Test): Even a very faint test line on an HCG test indicates a positive result. The line intensity can vary depending on the HCG concentration in your urine. If unsure, retest in 48 hours or consult a healthcare professional.
• Unexpected Results: If results do not align with your expectations or cycle tracking, ensure you followed all instructions precisely. Factors like medication, medical conditions, or diluted urine can affect results. Consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns.
