OVULATION MICROSCOPES - THE CORRECT USE OF YOUR OVULATION MICROSCOPE AND THEIR RESULTS
The ovulation microscope predicts fertility - It is the presence of estrogen in the saliva which increases and fern like crystal patterns will become visible, unlike the urine lh sticks which detect only lutenising hormone the ovulation microscope focuses on estrogen. When you look through the microscope at you dried sample you are looking for ferning or cystal patterns which are produced by the increase in estrogen that takes place before ovulation occurs.
CORRECT SAMPLING
You must collect a saliva sample by taking it from below your tongue, or the side of your cheek but the tongue gives a better result, place it on the microscope and let the sample dry for 5 - 15 minutes, view the result through the lens.
THE RESULTS
During infertile times of the month the result on the lens will show small spots and line like patterns - this is a non fertile restult.
As you approach ovulation incipient (sp?) ferning patterns will begin to appear - this is a transitional result - the woman is less fertile, but conception is still very possible.
At the onset of ovulation heavier ferning crystal patterns will appear in the sample, these patterns will indicate that ovulation is occuring or about to take place - this is a +ve or fertile result. The duratin of your most fertile time will last for 4 days pre-ovulation and 24hrs post-ovulation.
Hope this is of some help to you girls out there using the ovulation microscope, it has come to my attention that i have been incorrectly using my scope for the past month, hopefully now i will get some correct results.
If anyone wishes to add anything else which may have been left out please feel free to do so.
