Ovulation Tests:

  • Ovulation tests  (Luteinizing Hormone Strips) also known as Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs)
  • These ovulation tests look for a particular hormone that triggers ovaries to ovulate, or release an egg, that can be fertilized and result in successful pregnancy.
  • LH levels start to increase 1-5 days before ovulation occurs on ovulation day. These are very commonly used as an ovulation predictor
  • They are easy to use, just a few minutes a day; easy to read the results and enter them into the Premom app; you can utilize them at home or on-the-go to help you predict your ovulation accurately!

    Basal Body Temperature:

    • Your basal body temperature is another way to help identify when you are ovulating in future cycles; it will typically be lower the first half of your cycle, but after ovulation it will raise at least 0.5 degrees Fahrenheit higher than the past 6 days of lower temperatures. This is how the Premom app learns about your cycle and uses data you input, such as BBT, to predict your fertile window in subsequent months!

    5. Start tracking your symptoms and intercourse

    Start tracking your period, along with any symptoms that you may be experiencing in the Premom app.  We also recommend logging when you engage in intercourse so that you are able to visualize where you are in your fertile window. Keep in mind, the first day of bleeding is considered cycle day 1 (CD1) of your cycle.

    Not only does Premom allow you to track your periods, but you can even take pictures of your ovulation tests, automatically sync your BBT thermometer readings, enter your cervical mucus descriptions, track your mood, weight gain and more! 

    That's it!  You're all set to begin tracking your first cycle with Premom.
