Mother’s Health & Support FAQs

How do ovulation tests help with conception?

Ovulation tests detect the luteinising hormone (LH) surge in your urine, which typically happens 24-36 hours before ovulation. By identifying this surge, you can pinpoint your most fertile days, increasing your chances of conception. We offer a variety of digital and traditional options to suit your preference.

When is the best time to take a home pregnancy test?

Most home pregnancy tests are designed to be used from the first day of your missed period. However, some ultra-early detection tests can be used a few days before your expected period. Always check the specific instructions on your chosen pregnancy test for the most accurate results.

Are fertility supplements safe to take?

Many fertility supplements contain vitamins and minerals beneficial for reproductive health, such as folic acid, which is crucial for early fetal development. It's always recommended to consult a healthcare professional or pharmacist before starting any new supplement, especially when trying to conceive or during pregnancy, to ensure it's suitable for your individual needs.
