Ovulation prediction kits detect the surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) which occurs 12-36 hours before ovulation, making them an accurate tool for predicting when ovulation is about to occur. Taking basal body temperature and monitoring cervical mucus changes can also be helpful but are less reliable methods. However, if the woman has irregular menstrual periods, it may be more difficult to predict ovulation.
