Love Q&A: How Does a Fertility Monitor Work?

Q.

How does a fertility monitor work exactly?

A.

Most home ovulation tests detect the surge in Luteinizing Hormone (LH) in order to identify your two "peak" fertility days. Since your partner's sperm can survive in your body for several days, having sex on both peak and high-fertility days may increase your chances of conceiving.
