The Accuracy of Wrist Skin Temperature in Detecting Ovulation Compared to Basal Body Temperature: Prospective Comparative Diagnostic Accuracy Study

After the initial test, the participant continued doing the LH test daily until a positive result, which was shown as a stable smiling face symbol on the device, or until the next menstruation. A positive result indicates an LH surge, which typically occurs 1 day before ovulation [13]. Participants reported the LH test results in the dedicated field of their Ava app. The day following the LH surge was defined as the day of ovulation.
