1 Intended use
This product is used for the qualitative detection of luteinizing
hormone in human urine. Luteinizing hormone is a type of
gonadotropins, LH for short and also known as interstitial cell-stimu-
lating hormone (LCSH). It is produced by the basophils in the
anterior pituitary, and interacts with mature follicles, leading to
ovulation and producing corpus luteum. It is a key hormone that
accelerates egg release and corpus luteum formation. Ovulation is
only initiated when its secretion is normal and reaches a certain
amount. Average women of childbearing age ovulate once a month.
Ovulation normally happens between 12 to 16 days before next
menstruation. The egg released can only survive for 12 to 30 hours.
Sperms can be alive in genital meatus for 2 to 3 days. There are
only a couple of hours that are crucial for conception. Therefore,
accurate forecasts of ovulation are essential to guide women who
are trying to conceive in choosing the best time for intercourse for
higher conception probability. They are also significant to guide
women who are on birth control to avoid intercourse during
ovulation.
