About
Ovulation Kit
An ovulation test is a qualitative test used to predict when ovulation occurs. Ovulation is the most fertile time of the month for a woman. Since ovulation only takes place once a month the knowledge of when this is, is of great help to a woman trying to conceive. The test works by predicting when there is a surge in LH (Luteinizing Hormone) levels and as such when ovulation is likely to occur.
Ovulation is the release of an egg from the ovary. The egg passes into the fallopian tube where it is ready to be fertilized. In order for pregnancy to occur the egg must be fertilized by sperm within 24 hours after its release. Immediately prior to ovulation, the body produces a large amount of the Luteinizing Hormone.
This is known as the “LH surge” and usually takes place about 14 days before the end of a menstrual cycle. LH triggers the release of an egg from the ovary. By identifying the “LH Surge” a woman can pinpoint when she most likely to become pregnant.
Know when it is your time.
Pregnancy Test
A home pregnancy test is a self-diagnostic tool that allows women to quickly and easily determine if they are pregnant. These tests measure Human Chorionic Ganadotrophin (hCG), a hormone that is secreted in urine during pregnancy. A technique, known as an immunoassay which involves a complex reaction between the hormone and various protein antibodies, is used to measure hCG. When urine containing hCG is applied to the test strip a reaction occurs which causes a portion of the stick to change colour thus signalling the hormone is present and that the woman is pregnant.
When is the best time to test?
The hCG hormone is produced right after a fertilized egg attaches to the wall of a woman’s uterus. This usually happens (but not always) about six days after fertilization. If you are pregnant levels of hCG continue to rise rapidly, doubling every two to three days. Waiting at least a week after a missed period may therefore give you the most accurate result.
Results may also be more accurate if you do the test first thing in the morning, when your urine is more concentrated.

Writer's block
Ours is about 3 feet by 3 feet, and on our left is the account's block. The marketing block is down the hall.
We're joking. Obviously.
Ours is at least 5 by 5, and on Wednesdays we're allowed to write in coffee shops to maintain the illusion that we're "successful" and "writerly".
Coming up with a write up for the simple sake of a write up does, however, become difficult when we're staring complete lack of creativity right in the face. But apparently asking management to cancel all the deals for the day isn't a viable fix.
As they so delicately put it, it'd be like a comedian having the option to suddenly cancel a show if they're not feeling up to it. Not on our watch, they said. You'll do a write up whether you like it or not, they said. And be funny, they said.
So here we are, doing a write up and being funny.
