When an ovulation-test kit works right it reliably identifies the most fertile 24 to 48 hours in a woman's cycle, the time in which the great majority of successful pregnancies are conceived. Our tests of 11 top-selling ovulation kits found one clear winner, the ClearPlan Easy Ovulation Test Pack, that's sensitive enough to predict ovulation for nearly 9 out of 10 women, and also exceptionally easy to read. We also found one markedly insensitive product, the Answer Quick & Simple One-Step Ovulation Test, that may not function for many users.
