What are pregnancy test kits?

Pregnancy test kits are self-determining diagnostic kits that help in determining if a woman is pregnant or not. It consists of the immunoassay strip, which is formed by compressing non-woven fibers into a narrow strip, which is then coated with reactiveantibodies. These antibodies combine with the pregnancy hormone in a series of steps and ultimately results in a colour change indicating whether or not the woman is pregnant.

The test kit also has an absorbent pad that extends from the test chamber and is used to contact the urine stream. The pad absorbs the liquid and draws it into contact with the immunoassay strip.

Both the test strip and absorbent pad are placed within a two-piece housing that allows the unit to be handheld and also protects the strip from environmental contaminants. A leak-proof, clear plastic window on the side of the housing prevents the urine from accidentally splashing on the test strip and also allows the test and control zone portions of the strip to be viewed.

There is also a plastic collection cup, which is included with test kits that require collection of urine in a separate step. They may also include plastic vials with pre-measured amounts of reagents that must be mixed with the urine before application to the test strip.

How do these kits work?

The pregnancy test kits rely on the presence of the glycoprotein hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) that is secreted by the placenta in the urine shortly after fertilization. The placenta begins developing after the fertilized egg implants in a woman's uterus, which happens about six days after conception. So you can confirm the pregnancy by doing these tests only after six days post-conception.

Fertilization does not always take place the same day as intercourse and so most women are advised to wait until they miss their period before trying a pregnancy test. The hCG levels double about every two days in a pregnant woman, so the test is much more reliable two weeks after conception than one week later.

The tests bind the hCG hormone from either blood or urine to an antibody and an indicator. The antibody will only bind to hCG and the other hormones will not give a positive result. The usual indicator is a pigment molecule, which is present in a line across a home pregnancy urine test.

Even though these kits are reliable and accurate most of the times, it is always important to crosscheck with your doctor and go for a check-up in case of any doubts.

What is ovulation?

Ovulation is the process that results in the release of one or more eggs from your ovary. Each month, between 15 and 20 eggs mature inside one of your ovaries. The largest is pushed out into the pelvic cavity and swept into the fallopian tube. 

Your egg only survives for between 12 hours and 24 hours if it is not fertilised. There's only a small window each month during which you can conceive, typically no longer than about six days. This time leading up to ovulation is when you are most fertile (your fertile window). 

Sperm can survive inside you for up to about five days. But the healthiest sperm, with the best ability to swim in a straight line (motility), results from sex every three days to four days. So, to increase the likelihood of conception, you should try to have sex in the few days leading up to ovulation. 

Try to have sex a couple of times a week throughout your cycle. This gives a better chance that a healthy supply of sperm will be waiting in the fallopian tube whenever the egg is released. However, sex every few days may not be possible or practical for you and your partner.

Can ovulation kits help?

Ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) can help you to identify your fertile window.  

However, you may prefer to schedule sex for your fertile period if:

There are a few ways to determine your fertile window. You could record your menstrual cycle, chart the monthly cycles of your basal body temperature, or study changes in your cervical mucus. Or you could try all three. 

However, it can be tricky to pinpoint ovulation using these methods, especially if your menstrual cycles are irregular. This is where ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) can help. 

An OPK is a quick, easy and accurate way to predict ovulation in advance. It allows you to pinpoint your fertile window from the very first month. Kits are available online, and at most chemists and supermarkets. You can usually find them in the same section as pregnancy tests.

 

 

How ovulation kits work?

 

Urine-based OPKs test your urine for an increase (surge) in luteinising hormone (LH). This happens one day to two days before ovulation. 

A small amount of LH is always present in your blood and urine. But in the days before ovulation, the amount increases by about two to five times. The 12 hours to 36 hours between the beginning of the LH surge and the moment when your egg is released is the most fertile part of your cycle. This is when you are most likely to conceive. 

Salivary ferning kits allow you to test your saliva with a pocket-sized portable microscope. As your oestrogen levels rise, the salt content of your saliva increases. When the salt dries, it crystallises into a fern-like pattern. 

Ferning is more likely to occur in the few days leading up to ovulation, so checking for this helps to identify your fertile window.

 

 

How do I use an ovulation kit?

 

Depending on the brand of urine-based OPK, you'll either collect your wee in a cup or hold a stick under you as you wee. Coloured bands will appear on the test card or stick to indicate whether or not the LH surge is occurring. Digital OPKs use symbols, such as a smiley face, to tell you when you are on your most fertile days. 

Instructions may vary slightly depending on which kit you use, but in general you should try to collect your urine between 10am and 8pm. The optimum time is supposed to fall between 2pm and 2.30pm. 

Try to collect your urine at about the same time every day, though this is not absolutely necessary. Don't test your urine as soon as you wake up, because you may miss the first day of your LH surge. Try to reduce the amount of liquids you drink for about two hours before you do the test. Too much liquid will dilute your urine, which could make it more difficult to detect the surge. 

Read the results within 10 minutes for the best results. A positive result will not disappear, but some negative results may later display a faint second colour band. So throw the test card away once you've read the result. Urine-based OPKs generally provide five to nine days' worth of tests. 

Using a salivary ferning OPK is perhaps easier, as all you have to do is place some of your saliva on a slide by using your finger or licking it. Do this first thing in the morning, before you've had anything to eat or drink. Make sure you don't put too much on and that it is free of any air bubbles. 

You then wait for the saliva to dry and then use the microscope to see whether there is any ferning or not. Compare your slide with examples in the instructions to see whether you're in your fertile window. 

With either type of OPK, it helps to work out when your fertile period is likely to start. It's usually the length of your usual cycle minus 17 days. So, if you have a 28-day cycle, start testing on day 11 and carry on for six days. Use our ovulation calculator to help you work out when your fertile window is likely to be.

 

 

 

 


 

 

Test Results:

  1. Positive: Two unique bands appear in control and test regions to confirm pregnancy or ovaluation test results. Colour contrast of the band usually depends on different stages and levels of hCG or LH.
  2. Negative: Negative outcome of result is indicated by appearance of single band instead of two. Colour band appears in the control region but there is no such appearance of colour band in the test region.
  3. Invalid: Testing becomes invalid in case you don’t witness any of colour band appearance either in control region or test area. Foremost reasons of test turning out to be invalid are low level of HCG, insufficient urine specimen or non-adherence of procedure. To conduct test again, you must wait for the least of 72 hours.
