How do I track ovulation naturally at home using test strips?

You can track ovulation by using dip-and-read test strips that detect a rise in luteinising hormone (LH), a signal that ovulation is likely within 24–36 hours. Our Ovulation Test kit includes a Colour Reference Card and LH Curve Tracking Chart to help you easily track, understand, and follow your cycle and pinpoint your 2-day fertility window.

What’s the best way to find my fertile window when trying to conceive?

The most effective way is to use LH tests daily around the midpoint of your cycle. Our ovulation tests use semiquantitative technology, meaning they don’t just give you a yes or no; they show changes in your hormone levels over time. This helps you clearly identify your two most fertile days and understand your cycle more deeply.

When should I start using ovulation tests during my cycle?

Begin testing a few days before you expect to ovulate—typically around Day 10 of a 28-day cycle. If your cycle length varies, refer to the “When to Start” chart in your instruction leaflet to determine the optimal starting day.

How do I calculate my menstrual cycle length?

To calculate your cycle length, count the days from the first day of your period (Day 1) to the day before your next period starts. Track this over at least three months to get a reliable average. Once you know your average cycle length, use the “When to Start” chart in your instruction leaflet to figure out the best day to begin ovulation testing.

What’s the difference between your pregnancy tests and early detection pregnancy tests?

Our early detection pregnancy tests are more sensitive. They can pick up lower levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and are designed for use up to 5 days before your missed period. Our standard pregnancy tests are best used from the day your period is due, with 99% accuracy. For women in perimenopause, we recommend using the standard pregnancy test, as hormonal fluctuations may affect early detection test results.

How do I know if I’ve missed my LH surge?

If your ovulation test lines never darken or show a peak, you may have either missed a short LH surge or not have ovulated this cycle. Try testing twice a day next time, and use the LH Curve Tracking Card in your kit to spot patterns. If you continue having trouble detecting a surge or are concerned about irregular cycles, it’s a good idea to check in with your doctor for personalised support.

Do I need an app to track ovulation with bébé bloom tests?

No! Everything you need is in the kit—test strips, colour reference card, and a hormone tracking chart. No apps, accounts, or digital tools required.

Can I use ovulation tests if my cycles are irregular?

Yes, you can. If your cycles vary in length, we recommend tracking the start of your period over three months and calculating the average cycle length. Then use the “When to Start” chart in your instruction leaflet to find your best starting day. With irregular cycles, it’s often helpful to test over a longer window—starting earlier and continuing a few extra days.

Are your fertility tests affordable for everyday women?

Yes. We believe high-quality fertility care should be accessible to all. Our prices are consistent (no dynamic pricing), and we cover part of the shipping cost. Because tracking your cycle shouldn’t come with financial stress.

Is bébé bloom an Australian women-led brand?

Yes, proudly so. bébé bloom is an Australian-owned, women-led brand—founded by two women, Lola and Sara, based in Melbourne (Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country) and Noosa Heads (Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi Country). We created bébé bloom because so few fertility brands are led by women or locally owned. We believe that matters.

Written By bébé bloom

When you’re starting your trying to conceive (TTC) journey, choosing the right fertility tests can feel overwhelming. At bébé bloom, we’ve gathered the most common questions women ask and answered them here—so you can feel informed, supported, and ready.

What does “see the line” mean in pregnancy vs ovulation tests?

Both our pregnancy and ovulation tests use a two-line system, but what the lines mean is different:

Pregnancy tests: one line = not pregnant, two lines = pregnant (regardless of how faint the second line may be).
Ovulation tests: one line = no LH surge detected, two lines = possible LH surge. The test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line to confirm your LH surge.

This is why we say “see the line” — because every line tells a story, and we’re here to help you understand yours with clarity and confidence.

What’s included in an ovulation test kit?

Our ovulation test kit has everything you need to track your luteinising hormone (LH) surge and pinpoint your two most fertile days:

20 dip-and-read ovulation strips
Test reader colour card
LH fluctuation curve chart
Step-by-step instruction leaflet

Are the tests easy to use for first-timers?

Absolutely. Just dip the strip, wait a few minutes, and read your result. No apps or complicated devices required. Our tests are simple, clear, and stress-free—even if it’s your first time.
