Thursday, January 27, 2011 SFO Medical 100 Ovulation Test Strips: Ultra Sensitive Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)These little strips are so handy and easy to use. And because you get so many for such a good price, you can test for ovulation two or three times a day if you want! They are very sensitive so you can pinpoint that all-important LH surge. I highly recommend them.

There are a few things I especially like about this product. One, the tests are individually packaged. OPKs expire quickly when exposed to light, air, and temperature shifts, so these will last you longer than one cycle, unlike those offered by some brands. Two, the instructions are provided on each strip's packaging. When you're buying 100 of something, they're going to last a while and it's nice not to have to try to save a single set of directions. And three, they're a bit more environmentally conscious than other OPK formats. The dipstrip reduces waste since you're not throwing out a ton of plastic like you do with the midstream and cassette versions. Plus, these dipstrips are about half the width of the traditional dipstrip, which alleviates some of my guilt about the individual packaging. :)

The only reason I have rated this item 4 stars instead of 5 is because, though most results are very clear and easy to read, I have had a few strips in the bunch that came out with unreadable results. The dye did not move all the way across the testing area, which resulted in obscured test and control lines, and redipping didn't help. I had to use another strip. That isn't a big deal because I have so many of them right now, but if it was my last one I'd be angry!

Ovulation Tests allow you to predict when you ovulate - the time you're most likely to become pregnant! If you're trying to conceive, Test strips are placed vertically in a container of urine. This test provides accurate results in just minutes, allowing you to predict peak fertility. Ovulation predictor tests work by allowing you to detect your monthly LH Surge - the sudden and dramatic increase in luteinizing hormone present in your urine just before you ovulate. Lh is the hormone that facilitates ovulation (the release of the egg). When you detect your LH surge with an ovulation test, you know you are fertile! (Complete test instructions ship with every order. Since the best time for fertilization of the egg to occur is within 6 to 24 hours after you ovulate, correctly gauging your body's cycle is extremely helpful in increasing your chances of becoming pregnant.
