Clinical efficacy of LH-color: a new home ovulation test.
In this study we evaluate the efficacy of a new home ovulation test to identify LH surge (LH-Color, Organon). Fifty-five spontaneously ovulating women were followed during their cycles with twice daily urinary LH testing as well as daily ultrasound and BBT charts. In 39 (70.91%) of the 55 patients, ovulation occurred within 24 h after the decoloration of the LH-Color. Follicular collapse as visualized by ultrasonography, took place in all patients within 36 h after the decoloration of the LH-Color. Thus a good correlation was found between urinary LH surge and ultrasound. We conclude that the rapid LH test was able to predict impending ovulation.
