Summary: A new urine luteinizing hormone (LH) kit, First Response (Tam‐brands Inc., Palmer, MA) was compared with basal body temperature (BBT), cervical mucus scoring and abdominal ultrasound follicular scanning in their ability to predict ovulation to within 2 days of the serum LH peak. BBT was kept daily. From day 10 daily ultrasound scanning and cervical mucus examination were performed and serum oestradiol, luteinizing hormone, follicular stimulating hormone and progesterone were assayed.
