Lactation Ovulation Test: Know Your Fertility Plan

There are many ways to test ovulation during lactation, the most common of which are the basal body temperature test and the dipstick test.

The basal body temperature test method refers to measuring a woman's basal body temperature and recording daily temperature changes. When testing ovulation during lactation, you need to measure your basal body temperature once a day and record changes in body temperature. Generally speaking, a woman's body temperature will fluctuate to a certain extent during lactation. Especially in the later stages of lactation, the body temperature will increase.

The dipstick test method refers to using a pregnancy test paper to test whether the urine contains human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is a method to determine pregnancy. When testing for ovulation while breastfeeding, you need to use a morning urine test because the concentration of hCG is higher in morning urine.

Whether it is the basal body temperature test method or the test paper test method, some preparations and precautions are required. First, you need to choose a reliable testing method and read the test results instructions carefully. Secondly, you need to wash your hands and tester before testing, and avoid using any drugs or cosmetics. Finally, test results should be obtained after waiting a few minutes on the tester, as test results take some time to display.

The method of testing ovulation during lactation can help you better plan your pregnancy and ensure that you can get pregnant and give birth smoothly. If you test positive for pregnancy while breastfeeding, you should consult your doctor promptly and follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and pregnancy planning.
