(Buyer Identity kept private)
What does buyer ID kept private mean?
This
means that your identity is not shown at any time on eBay so no one
knows who purchased this item except for you, as the buyer, and us, as
the seller. Most customers would prefer to keep this transaction
totally private so we will NOT leave feedback. Equally we do not expect
you to leave us feedback and are happy about this. If
you want us to leave you feedback we are happy to do so - just let us
know you want us to leave feedback by sending us a message via eBay
when you have received your goods and are happy with your purchase.
What do I actually get with this pack?
Firstly the details about each item are given further down the page but in summary you will receive:-
- 50
ovulation/pregnancy tests (any combination you wish and they will be
ultra early tests - 10mIU for the pregnancy tests and 20mIU for the
ovulation tests)
- A FREE Fertilityplan chart
What do you mean by any combination of tests?
We
understand that there are numerous factors that affect the menstrual
cycle and the chances of conceiving including important considerations
such as irregular cycles, PCOS, hormone treatments, a lazy ovary,
previous miscarriages, breast feeding etc., etc. The purpose of this
fertilitypack of 50 tests is designed to
enable you to select the number, the type and the sensitivity of the
tests you need to ensure that the pack you receive fits your particular
situation perfectly. How do I choose which combination to have?
Very
simple - just buy the item and go through to check-out in the normal
way. When you check out there is the opportunity then to leave a
message to seller – simply click on the “Add message” icon and this
will open a box allowing you to leave us the message about the
combination that you would like. Alternatively you can always send us a
message via eBay. Simply tell us the combination you want - 50
pregnancy tests, or 50 ovulation tests, or 25 pregnancy tests + 25
ovulation tests etc. The only condition is that the combination can't
be more than 50. If you buy multiple lots then you can do the same so
if you buy 2 lots then that is 100 tests in any combination you like.
What if I forget to tell you the combination of tests I would like?
If
you forget to tell us the combination you want then we will send you 25
ovulation tests and 25 pregnancy tests. So if this is not what you want
then make sure you tell us what you do want before we despatch your order.
What about selecting the sensitivity of the tests?
Basically for the majority of women (around 90%) we recommend and supply, as standard, 20 mIU High sensitivity ovulation tests and 10 mIU High sensitivity pregnancy tests. This is what we will send you if you do not specify anything different.
How do I know what is best for me and what does this mIU stuff all mean anyway?
In
its simplest terms the numbers (e.g. 25 mIU) are just a standardised
measurement system that detects the pregnancy or ovulation hormones
present in your body. The lower the number the higher the sensitivity.
Our Pregnancy Tests (2 sensitivities)
10 mIU - High sensitivity
25 mIU - Normal sensitivity
Essentially the higher the
sensitivity the earlier you will detect your pregnancy. We have given
more detailed information about what this all means and why this is
important lower down the page.
Our Ovulation Tests (3 sensitivities)
20 mIU – High sensitivity
30 mIU – Medium Sensitivity
40 mIU – Low Sensitivity
As
with pregnancy tests the higher the sensitivity the earlier you will
detect if you are about to ovulate. If you have regular cycles and no
known problems then the High 20
mIU sensitivity are the ones you should have and the ones we recommend.
We have given more detailed information further down the page about why
you may need different sensitivity ovulation tests and how to discover
if you do.
Why are you the first and only Company to offer different sensitivities of pregnancy and ovulation tests?
We
care about our customers and we "listen" to what you tell us. When it
comes to pregnancy you want to know you are pregnant as soon as
possible so we supply, as standard, the highest sensitivity tests
available at 10 mIU but still offer the 'normal' 25 mIU tests if you
want these ones instead. Most doctors still use the less sensitive 25
mIU tests but many hospitals now use our Ultra Early 10 mIU tests as it
is vital that before giving any emergency treatment it is known whether
the woman is pregnant.
When
it comes to ovulation tests we discovered that a standard test simply
wasn't right for a significant number of women and following a number
of trials with many of you who were having problems we now offer 3
different sensitivities for our ovulation tests - our special thanks to
Claire, Emma, Lisa, Sarah and Donna (you know who you are) for being
our guinea pigs, so to speak, and help us get it right for you and many
other women like you :)
How good are these tests?
We
now sell literally millions of these tests in the UK and throughout the
world - they are made specifically for us and comply with CE (European
Community) and FDA (United States) rules and regulations and every pack
has the approval details printed on them. We also sell them to some of
the largest Charity organisations such as the British Pregnancy
Advisory Service (BPAS)
and to large parts of the UK National Health Service (NHS). The tests
we supply to the NHS are identical to the ones we sell to you and every
batch is checked religiously for quality and accuracy - they are more
than 99% accurate. As for the expiry dates, they will always be at
least 1 year away and more often nearly 2 years (which is the legal
maximum).
How soon will you ship, how long will it take, is it insured and is the packaging discreet?
Provided
your order and payment is received before 3.30pm UK time on a business
day it will go out the same day by 1st class Royal Mail (or Air Mail if
you have an overseas address). All packages have no indication of
content, are marked "Private and Confidential" and the contents are not
visible or identifiable from the outside of the package. All shipments
to all destinations are fully insured and covered in the event of loss
or damage - though we will require you to follow some simple steps in
order to have a refund or re-send in those rare occurrences when your
shipment is lost or damaged.
All
overseas shipments are via Air Mail and usually arrive in 2-4 days for
Europe, 3-7 days for North America and 5-10 days to Australasia. All
packages are correctly labelled including completed Customs
documentation and our specific FDA Import Licence number for all North
American shipments.
What
is ovulation and the process of conception?
As
the old saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words" so we have
included a short video (don’t forget to turn the sound up) which we
feel gives an excellent short description of ovulation, including the
whole process of conception (fertilisation and implantation) from the
release of the egg from the ovary right up to the implantation of the
fertilised egg at which point pregnancy has occurred, HCG is produced
and the embryo starts to grow. If you have problems viewing the video
or have a slow internet connection wait until the video is fully
buffered before playing the entire video - i.e press pause once the
video starts loading and wait until loading is complete before pressing
play.
How exactly do you measure a menstrual cycle?Very
simply a menstrual cycle defined as starting on the day of first bleed
to the start of your next bleed. So CD12 would be Cycle Day 12 of your
cycle and would be 12 days after you first started your period.
What do you mean by a Fertilityplan chart?
Basically if you are trying
for a baby then you need to do a few very simple things to try and ensure you get
pregnant as soon as possible. The Fertilityplan chart just really summarises what you notice
about your body during your cycle and when these changes are charted and
combined with other help such as ovulation tests and temperature changes you
can more easily pinpoint when you are ovulating. We provide a chart you can print out and use for free - see below.
Why should I keep a Fertilityplan chart?
There is only a very small
window within each cycle when your body releases an egg (ovulation). This window, which may
last only 36 hours, is the only time you can get pregnant during that cycle so
knowing how to pinpoint the timing when the egg is released can be very
important.
What other bodily changes should I look for to know when I am about to ovulate?
The
consistency of cervical mucus changes throughout the menstrual cycle.
Usually after you finish your bleed you will have 3/4 days when you
have dry days. The wetness then increases daily usually lasting about 9
days at which point the mucus will become plentiful, slippery, clear
and stretchy. The best comparison is that it is like egg whites and at
this point it is a good sign that ovulation will occur in the next
couple of days. After ovulation occurs the mucus will again become more
sticky less stretchy and then dryer again.
How do I get this Fertilityplan chart and what does it look like?
Very
simply
we
can email one to you free of charge when you purchase this item
from us. Simply advise us that you want the Fertilityplan chart when
you tell us the combination of tests and we will email the chart to
you. You can then use it on your computer or simply print the chart out
and use it every
month. When completed it will look something like this for a typical
month:-
The
red line indicates the normal basal body temperature for a woman before
getting up - about 0.8 degrees Fahrenheit below normal body temperature
during the day. The dots represent the daily recorded temperature and
you just connect the dots each day with a line to join them. Other
information is added such as the results of the ovulation tests,
condition of your cervical mucus and days when intercourse took place,
etc.
How does a basal digital thermometer help?
Basically
there
is a
slight temperature drop just before ovulation occurs and then a
distinct temperature rise of about 0.40 to 1.0 degrees Fahrenheit after
ovulation takes
place. This rise in temperature remains for several days before falling
back when you are about to start your period. By plotting your
temperature change during your cycle you will
know when
you have ovulated. By using the ovulation tests you will know when you
are about to ovulate and then the basal thermometer will confirm that
ovulation has taken place.How do I get a basal digital thermometer and how is it different from a normal thermometer?
We offer
one - just check our other listings if you want one - the listing also
gives full details as to why it needs to be in Fahrenheit, reads to 2
decimal places not 1 as most thermometers do, why you need to measure
your temperature before you get up, etc. Our basal thermometer is also
very reasonably priced at under £5 ($10) including shipping and comes with a
full 2 years warranty.
Fertilityplan One Step Pregnancy Tests 
Whether
you are trying to get pregnant or trying to keep from getting pregnant,
you want to know immediately if you are pregnant or not. The pregnancy
tests that we offer are fast, accurate, reliable and an easy
alternative when you require immediate and discreet results in the
privacy of your own home.
How does a pregnancy test work?
A
pregnancy test measures the presence of the hormone Human Chorionic
Gonadotrophin (HCG) in your urine. HCG is produced in the placenta
shortly after the embryo attaches to the uterine lining. This hormone
then builds up rapidly in your body in the days following successful
conception.
When should I do the test?
The
test can be taken at any time of the day. However, we do recommend that
you test first thing in the morning when your urine is most
concentrated. Do not drink large amounts of fluid in an attempt to
increase the volume of urine as this may dilute the urine making HCG
more difficult to detect.
What does the test result look like?
Pregnant Not Pregnant
How long will it take before I can read the result?
You can read the results in under 5 minutes and a positive result can often be seen in under 30 seconds.
What is the difference between home tests and those done by a doctor?
Many
doctors and clinics use our pregnancy tests anyway, in which case they
are exactly the same. Occasionally, some women may be given a blood
test, but they aren’t very different from our pregnancy tests either as
both types look for the presence of HCG in your body.
What should I do with my results?
If
your pregnancy test results are positive, you should consult your
doctor to discuss your pregnancy and what steps and precautions should
be taken next. In addition, if your test is negative and you still
suspect you may be pregnant, you may want to confirm your test results
with another pregnancy test a few days later.
If I see 2 lines but one is fainter than the other is this a positive result?
Yes,
if 2 lines appear you are pregnant no matter how faint the lines
appear. Our 10mIU tests have been designed to identify very early when
you are pregnant and the test line will be fainter than the control
line until you have been pregnant for about 4 weeks by which time the
test line will be as dark or darker than the control line. This ensures
our tests do not give false positives which is very important when you
want to know if you are pregnant or not.
Can anything affect the results of these tests?
Drinking
alcohol, painkillers, oral contraceptives, antibiotics and other common
drugs will not affect the result of these tests. Only medicines that
contain HCG can produce a false positive result. If you are unsure
about your result or your period has still not arrived you should see
your doctor for advice.
What are 10 mIU Ultra Early pregnancy tests and what does it all mean?
It
is unfortunate that some eBay sellers claim their tests are ultra early
and 10 mIU when they are not. Basically if the outer foil
doesn't indicate 10 mIU then they are NOT the Ultra Early highest
sensitivity pregnancy tests. We send out the Ultra Early 10 mIU tests
as a standard. The number given after the Lot
number (-10 or -25) indicates the sensitivity of our tests. Some women
on hormone treatments containing HCG may require tests with the lower
25 mIU sensitivity and for those women we will happily send you 25 mIU
sensitivity tests - just let us know in the "notes to seller".
A
10 mIU pregnancy test will show a faint line at a level of 10 mIU of
HCG (the hormone that is produced in large amounts when you are
pregnant). A normal non-pregnant woman is at a level of 5 mIU or less
and from the first day of becoming pregnant the level of HCG doubles
every day for the first 3 months until the level is at several hundred
thousand. The average woman could, therefore, show a faint line only 1
day after conception but if the level started at 1 mIU then it would be
3 days after conception that the line would show. Accordingly it can
vary from person to person and the actual day of conception in the
cycle can vary slightly depending on the day the egg was released from
the ovary, the day it was fertilised and the day the egg implanted.
Normally we would say that these tests would be certain to show a
positive result 6 days after conception. On the 7th day the line would
be much darker and so on. Having said that we have had women say they
showed positive after only 2 days!! The risk of testing too early being
that the test could be a 'chemical pregnancy' as the fertilised egg may
fail and turn out to be just a heavier period than normal. Experts
estimate that up to 50% of all pregnancies end in a miscarriage and
many of these manifest themselves as slightly later or heavier periods.
Fertilityplan One Step Ovulation Tests
A
pregnancy begins with conception. A child is conceived when the male
sperm successfully fertilises the female egg. Successful fertilisation
is most likely during a 24-hour period following the LH surge. Since
this window is usually only open once a month and for a short period of
time, being able to predict the LH surge is very helpful when trying to
become pregnant. We
have selected these ovulation tests for their price, accuracy and
reliability. These tests look for the presence of LH in urine.
How does a home ovulation test work and what is the LH surge?
When
a woman is about to ovulate, her
body releases a large amount of a hormone called LH (Luteinising
Hormone). LH
is always present in your urine but the levels increase (surge) in the
middle
of your cycle, causing you to release an egg from the ovary. This
process is
called ovulation. If the LH surge is present, ovulation is likely to
occur in
the next 12 to 36 hours. Our ovulation tests detect the LH surge by measuring the level of LH in urine.
Once ovulation has taken place the level of
Progesterone increases and this causes the basal body temperature rise.
When should I do the test?
To
determine when to begin testing, you need to work out the length of
your menstrual cycle. The length of your cycle is from the first day of
your period to the last day before your next period starts (count the
first day of bleeding as day 1). Calculate what the usual length of
your menstrual cycle has been the last few months. Once you have worked
out the average length of your cycle you can refer to the chart that is
included with our tests which clearly and simply shows on which day of
your menstrual cycle you should begin testing.
Why should I avoid testing first thing in the morning?
You
should avoid testing your urine first thing in the morning as LH is
synthesized in your body early in the morning. It will not show up in
your urine until later in the day.
What does the test result look like?
No surge Surge present
When
the LH surge is present the "Test" line (lower of the two lines in the
white area) will be almost as dark or darker than the "Control" line
(upper line in the white area).
Once I receive a positive result, when is the best time to have intercourse?
Ovulation
usually follows the start of the LH surge within 24-36 hours. This is
the time when you are at your most fertile, therefore you should have
intercourse during this time.
How long will it take before I can read the result?
A positive
result can often be read in under 40 seconds but to confirm a negative
result (no test line or the test line is much fainter than the control
line) you should wait the full 10 minutes.
What happens if after using the tests provided I have still not detected my LH surge?
Most
women with regular cycles will detect their LH Surge in 5 days or
under. However, if you have irregular cycles you may need to test for
longer and may require additional ovulation tests to detect your LH
Surge. Also see the section below regarding different sensitivities of
our ovulation tests.
I have recently come off the contraceptive pill. Will this affect my result?
As
the pill disrupts your natural hormone balance it may take a few months
for your periods to return to normal. You may want to wait until you
have had 2 normal periods before starting to use ovulation tests. Please be aware that pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect the results of any ovulation test.
Will alcohol or other common medications affect the results of this test?
No, but you should consult your doctor if you are taking any hormonal treatments.
Can I use the ovulation test for contraception?
No,
the test is not designed to prevent conception. As sperm can survive
for 72 hours you might still become pregnant if you had intercourse
before you detected your LH Surge and also because some woman can and
do ovulate more than once in the same cycle.
What about the sensitivity of ovulation tests and why might I need a different sensitivity?
Ok, we are going to dispel a few old wives’ tales here and give you some facts:-
Firstly,
virtually every woman in the world will ovulate almost exactly 14 days
BEFORE she starts her period – not the other way round!! That's fine
for women with regular cycles of 26-30 days between each period but the
trouble is a lot of women have irregular periods or other conditions
such as PCOS, a lazy ovary, previous miscarriages, endometriosis,
currently breast feeding etc., etc.
So what exactly happens is this:-
In
any one cycle and on average, 80% of women will ovulate normally but
around 11% of women will not ovulate at all and another 9% will ovulate
twice or more. The latter explains a lot of those unwanted pregnancies
by Roman Catholics trusting to the "rhythm method" to prevent
conception!!
Now the “average” woman ............is there such a thing? They are all special if you ask me :)
will have
an LH (the hormone that triggers ovulation) level of between 5-20 mIU
in her system. When the surge occurs the basal level rises to
approximately 50-200 mIU and at this level ovulation occurs and the egg
is released from the ovary. This means that for most women the 20 mIU ovulation High sensitivity tests will be ideal.
But
how will I know if they are not right for me? I hate to say this but it
is trial and error. Firstly, if there is a problem and you don’t seem
to be ovulating normally – DON’T WORRY – it is not unusual. The reason
is usually simple and is down to the fact that each woman is individual
and can have different results from ovulation tests – here is just 1
example.
We
have a lady who is suffering from PCOS and this can sometimes (NOT
always) cause the LH level to be consistently at a higher level than
"normal". This woman will appear to get a positive result with our 20
mIU tests over several days and she is therefore not certain when she
is ovulating. In this case we would recommend she purchase the lower
sensitivity (30 or even 40 mIU) ovulation tests which will better
pinpoint the LH surge.
So what do you recommend for a newcomer to all this?
Try the High
20 mIU sensitivity ovulation tests and if you find any problems in
pinpointing when you are ovulating then try one of the lower
sensitivity tests and that should solve the problem :)
How dark does the test line need to be to show I am ovulating normally and what if I get no lines in the test window?
Essentially
at any ovulation sensitivity level if you get no lines at all in the
test window then you either haven't ovulated or the test is not
sensitive enough to pick up the surge so you should go for the highest
sensitivity tests. At any sensitivity level if you get no test lines
followed by faint lines for a couple of days which then fade back to no
lines then that is the perfect indication that you have ovulated
normally during those days. If, however, you get no lines at all in the
test window with the highest sensitivity 20 mIU test
for 2 months then you should contact us for advice as we
may be able to help. The email address is shown below.
I had a positive result for the LH surge and had sexual intercourse during this period so why have I not become pregnant?
There
are many factors that can affect your fertility. It can take many
healthy couples months to achieve pregnancy. You may need to use these
tests for a few months before pregnancy occurs. If after 6 months of
trying you have still not become pregnant, you should visit your doctor
for advice. In addition if you find you regularly start your period
less than 11 days after you ovulate or you have had several early
miscarriages then please contact us as this is a sign of a fertility
problem and we have now developed a series of tests specifically to
check this out - please contact
fertilityplan@aol.com
and we will help.
What is the "fertility pill" and how does it affect your ovulation tests?
Clomid/Serophene
are brand names for a drug known as Clomiphene citrate - commonly
referred to as the "fertility pill". Letrozole is a very similar drug
and works in exactly the same way. They are the most popular and most
prescribed drugs for women who are not ovulating at all, have PCOS or
suffer from irregular periods. They have proved very successful with
60-80% of women ovulating normally when taking the drugs and with 50%
of those on these drugs going on to get pregnant. They have few side
effects and these are generally minor - your doctor can tell you more.
All
these drugs are taken for 5 days (days 3-7 or 5-9 of your cycle) and
are essentially a boost to your fertility hormones including LH. For
this reason, if you are on any of these drugs, you should start to use
our highest sensitivity (20mIU)
ovulation tests 3 days after finishing the drugs i.e. on day 10 (if
taking the treatment on days 3-7) or day 12 (if treatment on days 5-9)
onwards as before this you could get a false result.
