INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS

It is scientifi cally proven that there is a direct correlation be-
tween the increase in oestrogen levels and the time of ovula-
tion. Oestrogen can be detected in saliva, as well as elsewhere
in the body. During a woman's fertile days, the salt content in the
saliva rises owing to the increased oestrogen production. The
salt crystals that form in dried saliva have a fern-like structure.
This 'ferning pattern' can be seen most clearly directly before
ovulation.
During the infertile days this 'ferning pattern' disappears owing
to the increasing level of progesterone, and a gravel-like pattern
is seen instead.
INFERTILE
Conception is unlikely
You see a gravel-like pattern with dots and bub-
bles. You are most probably not fertile.
TRANSITION PHASE – LESS FERTILE
Conception is possible, but unlikely
A few crystals with a slight 'ferning pattern' are
visible. You are 3-4 days before ovulation. This
is the start of the fertile period.
FERTILE
Conception is highly probable
The 'ferning pattern' is clearly visible. Ovulation
has begun. Fertility lasts about 3 days. During
these fertile days sexual intercourse is recom-
mended if you wish to conceive.
