In this study we evaluate the efficacy of a new home ovulation test to identify LH surge (LH‐Color, Organon). Fifty‐five spontaneously ovulating women were followed during their cycles with twice daily urinary LH testing as well as daily ultrasound and BBT charts. In 39 (70.91%) of the 55 patients, ovulation occurred within 24 h after the decoloration of the LH‐Color. Follicular collapse as visualized by ultrasonography, took place in all patients within 36 h after the decoloration of the LH‐Color. Thus a good correlation was found between urinary LH surge and ultrasound. We conclude that the rapid LH test was able to predict impending ovulation.
