Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ovulite®?

Ovulite® is a miniature microscope which allows you to monitor your fertility cycle and be able to predict, on a daily basis, when you are most likely to conceive following sexual intercourse.

How does it work?

Hormonal changes in a woman's body just prior to ovulation are detected by observing a sample of dried saliva through the Ovulite™ ocular lens. Microscopic crystalline structures appear as "fern-like" patterns.

When do I take the test?

It is recommended that you perform the ovulation test first thing in the morning and never after eating, drinking, smoking or even brushing your teeth. These activities will affect the salinity level of your saliva and may, as a result, give you a false reading.

How often should I use Ovulite™?

It is recommended that you use it daily while maintaining a record of your results. Soon you will begin to recognize the normal patterns for your own body. A Fertility Tester Diary card is included.

How accurate is Ovulite™?

Studies have shown that this procedure (studying the changes in saliva) is one of the most accurate methods of fertility testing. Ovulite™ is 98% accurate when used according to the instructions.

Can I use Ovulite™ as a contraceptive device?

That is not advisable. Since a sperm can survive for several days after intercourse you may still have a chance of becoming pregnant even if it is on a non-fertile day.

How long do I test for?

We recommend you use your Ovulite™ every day for two months to fully understand your results.

What is the ovulation cycle?

The ovulation cycle is the period of time which passes between your peak fertility periods. Each individual will have a different cycle and a different cycle and a different duration in which they are actually at their peak fertility level.

How do I know if I'm ovulating?

Fern leaf patterns are dominant when the saliva specimen is viewed through the Ovulite™ scope.

What is the likelihood of conception?

When fern leaf patters are dominant, Ovulation is already occurring or is imminent and conception is highly likely. This is your optimum fertile period. Fertility lasts from 3 days before to 1 day after ovulation.
