LH urine test (home test ) |
| Overview Risks Results |
| Alternative Names: |
| Luteinizing hormone urine test (home test); Ovulation prediction test; Urinary immunoradiometric assays (IRMA) |
| Special considerations: |
| Drugs that can decrease LH measurements include estrogens, progesterone and testosterone. Estrogens and progesterone may be found in birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy.
While it would seem that knowing the exact time of ovulation would increase a woman's chances of getting pregnant, research finds that home urinary LH tests are no more likely to help a woman get pregnant than charting her basal body temperature during initial attempts to induce ovulation with clomiphene citrate. |
