What is an ovulation test?

Ovulation testing determines by measuring hormone levels in a woman's body. During ovulation, the female body secretes large amounts of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), a hormone that determines pregnancy. If a woman is pregnant, her hormone levels will change during ovulation, and ovulation can be determined by measuring these hormone levels.

1. Measure basal body temperature: Women can measure basal body temperature every day, which is recorded by measuring oral temperature. Women need to take their basal body temperature every morning when they wake up and record it in a form.

2. Observe symptoms: Women may experience some symptoms during ovulation, such as breast swelling, headache, fatigue, etc. Women can observe these symptoms and record them on a chart.
