Morning Pregnancy Tests
Because home pregnancy tests detect hCG, it is
best to collect urine samples containing the highest amount of the hCG hormone. Diluted samples
(from drinking high volumes of water / frequent urination) can diminish test accuracy. Instead,
first morning urine is considered the ideal sample as it contains the most concentrated presence of
hCG. If you test later in the day, make sure that you do not urinate at least 3 to 4 hours before testing.

Take Ovulation Tests in Afternoon
Unlike pregnancy tests, ovulation predictor kits should
not be used with first morning urine. LH - or luteinizing hormone is - is synthesized by the body in the
morning, but it does not show up in your system (urine) until afternoon. Most manufacturers recommend taking
ovulation tests between 10AM and 8PM - though afternoon is considered the ideal testing time. Also, it is
recommended that you test at the same time every day.

Dietary Supplements for Increasing Fertility
You are what you eat, and clinical studies have
shown that deficiencies in certain vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids can adversely affect
fertility. The basic nutritional supplement program for fertility includes: A high quality
multivitamin and mineral supplement. Antioxidant nutrients including beta-carotene,
selenium and vitamins E and C. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) such as flaxseed oil to
provide sufficient amounts of alpha linolenic, an omega-3 fatty acid, and linoleic
acid, an omega-6 fatty acid.
