How Ovulation test strip works
This is a very simple method to know ovulation at home. Ovulation means the release of mature egg from ovary. This egg remains in fallopian tube for a few hours to get fertilised. If fertilization takes place by a sperm then it moves in uterus where it implants and develops and grows as a baby. Ovulation is triggered by release of a hormone. This hormone is Luteinizing Hormone (LH). Ovulation test strip uses a dye to show presence or absence of this hormone.
