Ovulation test kits in India: what to buy and how to use them
By the Miro Fertility editorial team · Updated 23 September 2026
Ovulation (LH) tests detect the surge in luteinising hormone that comes roughly a day or two before ovulation. They help you time intercourse in a natural cycle without guessing from a calendar.
The ovulation tests below all measure the same hormone. The difference is how easy the result is to read and how many tests you get for the money.

If you have PCOS, LH can run high all cycle, so ovulation tests may show repeated or misleading positives. Talk to your doctor about tracking with scans instead.
The list, in detail

LH test strips (bulk pack)
Best for: Testing daily across a whole cycle without worrying about running out
Strips are the cheapest per test, so you can test once or twice a day through your fertile window, which is how you avoid missing a short surge.
Test in the afternoon or early evening, not with first-morning urine — LH surges usually show up later in the day.
Cut back on fluids for about two hours before testing so the urine isn't diluted.
Start testing a few days before you expect to ovulate. With a 28-day cycle, that is roughly day 10.
A positive is a test line as dark as or darker than the control line — not just a visible line.
Questions
How many ovulation tests do I need per cycle?
For a regular cycle, usually 10–15 tests if you test once a day, more if you test twice a day. Irregular cycles need more, which is where bulk strips make sense.
Can an ovulation test tell me if I'm pregnant?
No. It measures LH, not hCG. Use a pregnancy test for that, and use it no earlier than the day your period is due.
