Unilever offers a total of 5 different models of home pregnancy test, which differ in price, display mode and speed of the test result. The standard version displays the words “pregnant” or “not pregnant” in a digital window. If this test is extended, the time remaining until the result is displayed.

Another variant of the test additionally displays a week determination. With this test you can see whether you are pregnant in the 1st – 2nd, 2nd – 3rd or 3rd + week. Three ovulation tests are also available from Clearblue®.

These tests are designed to determine with 99% certainty the time when a woman is at her most fertile and therefore most likely to become pregnant. Fertility is at its highest just before ovulation, as well as during ovulation. Clearblue® Ovulation Tests measure either only the level of luteinising hormone (LH) in the urine, which triggers ovulation by rising sharply, or the level of oestrogen.

A woman ovulates on average around the 14th day of her period, although the time of ovulation varies from individual to individual and depends on the length of the cycle. To use one of these ovulation tests correctly, the cycle should be regular and the normal individual length of the cycle should be known. Fertility should be tested in the morning urine, i.e. in the first urine after waking up.

The test strip should either be held in the urine stream for 3 seconds or immersed in a cup of urine for 15 seconds. The result should appear on the display after about 5 minutes. The appearance of an empty circle means low fertility and therefore a very low probability of getting pregnant.

In this case a new test can be performed the next day. A flashing smiley in the display field means “high fertility” and a continuous smiley indicates “maximum fertility”. Like the pregnancy test, the reliability of an ovulation test depends on proper use and can be influenced by a number of things.

An existing pregnancy or a recent pregnancy can change the test result. The ovulation test cannot be used sensibly during the menopause (menopause) either. In the case of a liver or kidney dysfunction, the result of an ovulation test can also change, because both liver and kidney are involved in the breakdown and elimination of the hormones to be determined and can therefore lead to incorrect concentrations of the hormones in the case of a dysfunction.

Diseases such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCO) can also lead to incorrect test results. This syndrome is a hormonal disorder in the woman’s organism, which is a common cause of infertility. Mediacmente can also influence the result of an ovulation test. can lead to non-usable test results. – Fertility-promoting drugs containing luteinising hormone (LH) or human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG),
