"Some women find it difficult to know when they are ovulating, especiallyif they don't have a reliable, 28-day menstrual cycle," says Lisa Masterson,M.D., affiliated with Cedars-Sinai, St. John's and UCLA/Santa Monicahospitals. "If women can test themselves all month using one accurate kit,finding that window of opportunity becomes less of a guessing game."

The FIRST RESPONSE Daily Ovulation Test provides 20 chances to find thetwo most fertile days of a woman's cycle. When the test detects the LH Surge,it displays two similar dark pink lines or the test line is darker. The LHsurge is present in urine 24-36 hours before ovulation, and signifies that acouple should try to conceive within the next day and a half.
"Starting a family doesn't always happen as quickly as a couple may hope,and that can be stressful; but many couples simply aren't getting their timingright," says Barbara Collura, Executive Director, RESOLVE: The NationalInfertility Association. "A month's worth of tests is a useful way for womento keep track of their cycles and find their right time. This can relieve someof the anxiety of trying to get pregnant."
