Product info
Pregmate Ovulation Test Strips help you track ovulation at home and find your best days to try. The strips detect luteinizing hormone (LH) in urine at 25 mIU/mL sensitivity and are 99% accurate in detecting the LH surge, when used as directed. Ovulation usually happens 24–48 hours after a positive result, so a positive means ovulation is approaching and your most fertile days are here. Read the strip at 5 minutes, or scan it in the Pregmate app to see your T/C ratio, which compares how dark your test line is with the control line. It's not a measure of your LH level. Every scan is saved in the app, so all your results stay in one place. Each strip comes in its own sealed pouch, protected from moisture until you're ready to test.

When to start testing
Find your start day by subtracting 17 from your usual cycle length. For a 28-day cycle, that's day 11. Test daily for at least 5 days or until you get a positive.
If your cycle length varies, use your shortest recent cycle to find your start day.
Testing tips
- Test at the same time every day for consistent results
- Avoid first-morning urine. Test between 10 AM and 8 PM, when LH is easier to detect
- Reduce liquids 2 hours before testing to avoid diluting the sample
- If you think you might miss your surge, test twice a day around your expected peak
- Each strip is for single use only
- Read at 5 minutes. Don't read results after 5 minutes

How to use ovulation tests
Your LH surge signals that ovulation is near, so daily testing helps you catch your best days.
Pregmate app
Your cycle, month by month
Every test you scan gets logged automatically. After a few cycles you'll see your LH pattern, your typical fertile window, and how your body actually works.
How to read your result
What does a faint test line mean?
A faint test line is normal. Your body produces some LH throughout your cycle, so a light line doesn't mean a surge. The result is positive only when the test line (T) is as dark as or darker than the control line (C) on the same strip.
Can I use these if I have PMOS (formerly PCOS)?
You can, but results may be harder to read. People with PMOS (formerly PCOS) often have higher baseline LH, which can cause several near-positive results in one cycle. A positive test doesn't always mean ovulation will follow. Tracking basal body temperature (BBT) alongside testing can help confirm ovulation. If your results stay unclear, talk to your doctor.
When is the best time to have intercourse after a positive?
Have sex on the day of your first positive test and the next day. Ovulation usually happens within 24–48 hours of a positive result, and the days just before ovulation are often the most fertile.
Can medications affect the result?
Fertility medications such as trigger shots can cause false positives. Clomid (clomiphene) can raise LH while you're taking it, so start testing a few days after your last pill or when your doctor recommends. Alcohol and most common medications don't affect results.
