About this study

This study will assess the ease of use of a Digital Home Ovulation Test when used by lay-users for one cycle in their home environment. The home ovulation test to be used in the study is a digital home ovulation test used to detect luteinising hormone (LH) and Estrone-3-Glucuronide (E3G) in urine to identify when ovulation is imminent.

A sample size of 120 volunteers (minimum) will provide adequate information for assessing the usability of the home ovulation test. Usability of the test will be assessed through a questionnaire completed at the end of the study.

This observational study will be conducted remotely and volunteers representative of the intended user (lay-users) will be recruited.
