Prediction of ovulation using a dipstick sensitive to urinary luteinising hormone

Accurate prediction of ovulation is essential for patients receiving donor insemination (AID). In 9 patients, detection of the urinary luteinising hormone (LH) surge by monoclonal antibody immunospecific dipstick tests (Ovustick) for both home and laboratory use was assessed with simultaneous quanti...

Description
Summary:Accurate prediction of ovulation is essential for patients receiving donor insemination (AID). In 9 patients, detection of the urinary luteinising hormone (LH) surge by monoclonal antibody immunospecific dipstick tests (Ovustick) for both home and laboratory use was assessed with simultaneous quantitative estimations of plasma and urinary LH. In all patients the Ovustick accurately detected within 24 hours the beginning of the plasma LH surge. This test may prove to be a useful method for ovulation prediction but further evaluation is required.
