Dear Anne, I don't know if the names are similar in the US, but here in Holland some tests recently came to the market. They could be used as ovulationtests, but are really meant and recommended for birth-control. For example 'Persona' by Unipath. This measures the amount of LH in your urine as well as the estrogen. It is a small computer that will show you a green light when it's safe, and a red light when it's not. It also saves the data from your past cycles and takes this information into account for your present cycle. This makes it fairly accurate. Another one is called 'Cyclo 2-plus'. This works roughly the same way but does not measure your estrogen. Hope you can find them on the US market! Anneminke
