Test casero de ovulación - Risks

Nombres alternativos

Prueba de hormona luteinizante en orina (prueba casera); Examen de predicción de la ovulación; Inmunoanálisis para HL en orina; Prueba casera de predicción de la ovulación; Examen de HL en orina

Riesgos:

Rara vez, se pueden presentar resultados falsos positivos. Esto significa que el equipo para la prueba puede predecir la ovulación de manera falsa.

Consideraciones:

Si usted no puede detectar una oleada de HL o no queda embarazada después de utilizar un equipo de predicción de la ovulación durante varios meses, póngase en contacto con el médico y es posible que necesite acudir a un especialista en infertilidad.

Las pruebas de HL en orina no son lo mismo que los monitores de fertilidad caseros. Estos últimos son dispositivos digitales manuales que predicen la ovulación sobre la base de los niveles de electrolitos en la saliva, los niveles de HL en la orina o la temperatura corporal basal. Estos dispositivos pueden almacenar información sobre la ovulación durante varios ciclos menstruales.
