Description
The Frautest ovulation test is quite popular and is in wide demand among the female audience. It is easy to use, does not require much time and effort, and its effectiveness is confirmed by numerous positive reviews from clients.
The simple mechanism of action is clear for its implementation. The maturation and release of the egg from the follicle is accompanied by a sharp increase in luteinizing hormone in the female body. If the test detects it in the urine, this will indicate the beginning of the ovulation period.
According to the instructions for use, a special substance located on the surface of the strips reacts to this hormone. Their use in the next order makes it possible to analyze and compare the lines that appear based on color changes. The procedure is usually performed in the middle of the menstrual cycle, since this is when ovulation usually occurs.
What are the operating principles of Evitest tests?
In the assortment of any similar product, the main thing is to ensure diversity in the principles of operation. Express methods for determining pregnancy are no exception. When purchasing tests from one company, you will receive a product with different mechanisms of action and different accuracy of results. Various pregnancy tests have their own advantages and disadvantages. Before identifying the pros and cons, you need to understand the basic operating principles of the four types of samplers.
All series of Evitest devices are based on the same operating principle as all other pregnancy detection systems. The analyzers contain reagents that are sensitive to the hCG hormone found in a woman’s urine. In the first stages, the formation of the hormone is provoked by the formation of the chorion (the membrane of the embryo), and then, during gestation, by the placenta. The release of hCG into the blood and urine occurs already on the fifth or sixth day of conception, but its level is so low that it is not yet detected by the reagent.
Tests can show the most accurate information from the first days of missed menstruation or 10 days after ovulation.
Kinds
There are two types of Frautest:
- Planning. Recommended for women with regular periods, without temporary deviations or failures in their onset. The kit includes five strips to determine the onset of ovulation, two tests to determine the fact of pregnancy, and seven containers for urine. Such a complete set of tools allows not only to accurately identify ovulation days, but also to determine the fact of fertilization.
- Ovulation. The blue package includes seven cassettes with small caps. The set is more suitable for women with serious cycle disorders. Two additional strips will help more accurately determine the beginning of egg movement.
Types of pregnancy tests "Evitest"
Customer reviews of the Evitest pregnancy test may vary due to the fact that, in fact, not one, but a whole series of express tests are produced under this brand:
1. EVITEST One is a very simple, convenient and inexpensive test. It is a strip that should be lowered into a container with morning urine for three seconds to the specified level. After three minutes, you can evaluate the result: one red line - the result is negative, two lines - positive. This principle is valid for all types of Evitest express tests.
2. EVITEST Plus - the same test as EVITEST One, but the package contains two strips. One of them is used immediately, and the second as a control test after a few days to confirm the result. The recommended break for repeating the test is at least two days, since in pregnant women hCG doubles every 48 hours.
3. EVITEST Proof – tablet analysis. It is a set of tablet and pipette. Using a pipette, four drops of morning urine are applied to the cassette window and after a few minutes you can see the result in the second window. This test is highly accurate.
4. EVITEST Prefect - the most convenient inkjet express analysis. It is carried out without preliminary collection of morning urine. One end of the stick is placed directly under the stream for a few seconds, and after 5 minutes you can evaluate the result.
How to use?
After purchasing one of the types of test and familiarizing yourself with the relevant recommendations, you can immediately begin using it. Taking into account the significant differences between Frautest and pregnancy testing, a different procedure for its use is proposed.
To carry out the procedure, you must perform the following steps:
- Collect the required amount of urine in a prepared container. The containers included in the packaging may also be suitable for this purpose. Beforehand, plastic jars should be rinsed thoroughly, as they must be clean.
- Remove the strip immediately before use.
- Carefully examine the arrows on the ribbon - when lowering it into a container with urine, they should be directed downward.
- Immerse the test in the collected urine up to the limit line. Keep in container for 5 to 10 seconds.
- Wait approximately 5 - 30 minutes until you get the result.
The most popular ovulation tests: Premium Diagnostic, Clover, Eviplan, Clearblue, OvuPlan.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main differences between different types of Evitest tests are the method of collecting urine and the complete set of components of the device itself, which determines the presence of certain advantages and disadvantages.
Evitest One consists of one test strip , on the surface of which a special reagent is applied. To carry out the analysis, you need to collect urine in a previously prepared clean and dry container and place a strip removed from the individual packaging into it.
Advantages: ease of use and low price. Disadvantages: collecting urine in a separate container.
Evitest Plus is similar to Evitest One, only it comes with two test strips , which are in different individual packages. Using the first test strip, the main result is established, and using the second, it is confirmed.
Advantages: easy to use and affordable price (since there are two systems in one test, which is much cheaper than purchasing each separately). Disadvantages: identical to Evitest One.
Evitest Proof is a cassette device for determining pregnancy. All components of the device are housed in a plastic case. The package also contains a special pipette for collecting liquid. This test provides the most accurate result, since the method of applying urine promotes a better reaction of the components.
Advantages: high accuracy of results and hygiene. Disadvantages: price.
Evitest Perfect belongs to the inkjet systems , which guarantees the comfort of the test. The device is equipped with a plastic body and a tip, onto which you need to direct a stream of urine in a direct way without prior collection.
Advantages: high accuracy, hygiene and no need for preliminary urine collection. Disadvantages: high price.
How to decipher the results?
At the end of all steps, two control strips may appear on the indicator. The first indicates the effectiveness of the product, and the next indicates a positive result - the beginning of ovulation. Based on the intensity of the color of the second line, one can conclude that ovulation is approaching or onset, and on these days one can plan the conception of a future child. The presence of only one line indicates the absence of the hormone in the urine.
For an example photo of the brightness of the strip after use:
What does it mean if the second stripe is hard to see?
What could a weak second line on the test mean:
- Few days have passed since conception. In this case, experts recommend repeating the test.
- Poor test quality. For example, reagents may be poorly sensitive to the pregnancy hormone if the test was stored under incorrect conditions (it was exposed to sunlight, the air temperature was increased).
- Incorrect interpretation of results. If you look closely, a barely noticeable mark will always be visible on the test strip. In fact, this is only a contour that does not indicate that conception has occurred.
- Unsuccessful implantation. There are situations when there was a conception, but the fertilized egg did not attach well to the endometrium, and a miscarriage occurred. Then the hCG in the blood will be slightly increased, but not as much as during pregnancy.
- ECO. During this procedure, the woman takes many medications containing hormones. Therefore, in the first weeks after conception, the strip will be pale.
If Evitest shows a weak second line, for accuracy it is better to repeat the procedure after a few days. If the result is similar, to diagnose pregnancy it is better to donate blood to determine the level of the hCG hormone in the blood.
Can it be wrong?
This is one of the most effective tools in planning a future pregnancy. It is used both before and after a missed period, as it is highly accurate in determining the female hormone. The manufacturer's stated accuracy is 99%.
Erroneous results are possible in the following cases:
- a woman experiences constant changes in her monthly cycle;
- the product was defective or was misused. In this case, you need to purchase a new product and repeat the entire algorithm from start to finish;
- in rare cases, the drug reacts to the ovulatory period, but in reality it does not exist. This indicates that the woman is pregnant or is being treated with hormonal medications;
- The test is qualitative, but does not show stripes. This happens in women with a long absence of ovulatory days.
Indications for use
A set of tests to determine ovulation and pregnancy at home.
To determine the day of increase in the level of the LH hormone, it is necessary to conduct a urine test daily, at approximately the same time.
For most women with a regular monthly cycle, only 5 days are enough. To determine the start day of testing, subtract 17 from the number of days of the full cycle.
It is better to test at the same time every day. Do not use your first morning urine as LH is produced in your body early in the morning and will appear in your urine later in the day. The best time to collect urine is between 10.00 and 20.00. 2-3 hours before testing, reduce the amount of liquid you drink.
"Frautest" ultrasensitive: reviews
Recently, manufacturers have increased the sensitivity of the test from 25 mIU/ml to 15 mIU/ml, that is, the lower this figure, the more effective the test strip is, which means it can show the onset of pregnancy several days before the missed period.
It’s not for nothing that many women write positive reviews about him. Frautest is able to detect the slightest amount of hCG and show a positive result even before the onset of menstruation. If you follow the instructions correctly, collecting the first morning urine, you can find out about pregnancy two days before the expected date of menstruation. The accuracy of this testing method is 99%, which is why many women trust Frautest.
Ovulation
Ovulation is the period of egg maturation. This time is most favorable for conception, so women who want to get pregnant try to seize this moment. This is difficult to do, since ovulation lasts only 1-1.5 days, and there are no 100% reliable methods for determining it.
To determine ovulation, they use the calendar method (calculate the middle of the cycle), measure basal temperature daily, or undergo an ultrasound, which can absolutely accurately confirm ovulation or its absence. But today most women prefer to use rapid tests.
