USE PROCEDURE

  1. Remove the protective cap and place the absorbing tip right under the flow of urine for at least 10 seconds;
  2. Alternatively, collect the urine in a clean and dry container and dip the absorbing tip into the urine for 10 seconds;
  3. Place the protective cap back onto the spoon device and wait 5 minutes before reading the result.

RESULTS INTERPRETATION

Negative FSH levels are below the cut-off. This indicates that the menopause process has probably not started yet.
Positive FSH concentration in urine is equal to or greater than 25mUI/mL. Repeat the test after 5-7 days, as FSH levels can vary throughout the month. In case of confirmation of positivity, consult a specialist.
