Sperm Test: Reading the results For him... Why does it come in a 2 pack? It is recommended to perform the second test 3-7 days after the first test and compare the results (see table below). Reading the results If the two results are different, it is recommended to retest in 10 weeks. Why 10 weeks? Because new waves of sperm are produced every 70 days. For best results the re-testing should occur with a fresh sample of sperm.

Sperm Test: Reading the results For him... Normal Test: A blue colour as dark or darker than the reference colour is a normal result (sperm concentration is equal to or above 15 million/ml). The darker the colour, the more concentrated the sperm is in the sample. Low Test: A blue colour lighter than the reference colour is a low result (sperm concentration is less than 15 million/ml). The lighter the colour, the less concentrated the sperm is in the sample.

Female Fertility Test For her... The Fertility Test is a convenient at-home screening test which can give an indication of fertility status by measuring the concentration of the hormone FHS (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) in urine. Rising levels of FSH are often associated with reduced fertility, and are common in older women.

Female Fertility Test Best done in the What is FSH? morning FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) is one of the two hormones which regulates the function of a woman s ovaries. FSH levels can be elevated in women with irregular periods And they steadily rise as a woman gets older. Raised levels of FSH are associated with reduced fertility. For a women trying to conceive, this can indicate the need to seek further advice from a GP or fertility specialist. Reading the results. Positive: A positive result is indicated by two red lines in both the test window (T) and the control window (C). The line in the test window must be the same or darker than the line in the control window (C). Negative: A negative result is indicated by either: a) The presence of two red lines where the line in the test window is a lighter red than the line in the control window, OR: b) There is no line in the test window at all. This result indicates FSH levels are not raised, which is a good indication although not proof of fertility. Invalid: A result is invalid if no red line appears in the Control (C) window, even if a line appears in the test window (T). It is advised to repeat the test with a new test.

Ovulation Test What is LH? In the first 14 days or so of a women's menstrual cycle, an egg is maturing in the ovaries. When the egg is mature, a hormone called Luteinising Hormone (LH) is released into the bloodstream and triggers ovulation (i.e. The release of the egg). This is when a woman is most fertile, and detecting an LH surge is an indication that it s a good time to try to conceive. Did you know? Women are actually only fertile for around five days in each cycle and only highly fertile for around two days. Sperm must fertilisean egg within 4 hours of its release from the ovary. Therefore knowing when this window occurs and timing intercourse accordingly is a key step in successful conception.

Ovulation Microscope For her... A high quality saliva based fertility test that allows a woman to predict her peak fertile period with accuracy. A reusable device used throughout the fertility cycle to indicate infertile, fertile and transitional periods. Key Features: Predicts times of peak fertility Handy, re-useable device Discreet lipstick design Use in conjunction with Ovulation Test TGA Registered Class 1 Medical Device RRP $69.95

Ovulation Microscope For her... Reading the results Not Fertile: Simple dot patterns or lines indicate no ovulation is imminent. Transitional: Small ferning or crystal patterns appear among the dots and lines. Ovulation may occur in 3-4 days. Fertile: A strong ferning pattern can be seen in the sample. Ovulation is about to occur or is already occurring. Ovulation Test or Microscope, which to choose? Both can predict peak fertility in the cycle, but the Microscope also detects approaching ovulation. They can be used in conjunction to each other: when the Microscope indicates a Transitional phase, the Tests can then be introduced to pinpoint the exact ovulation day.
