DuoFertility

Fertility clues are signs that your body gives you to hint as when you are most fertile

Most of us are not aware of all the little signals that our body is giving us, indicating that NOW is a good time to try for a baby. An American study showed that even though half of women trying to conceive THINK that they know they are ovulating, only 14% get it right!

So we have listed several of the clues that you might want to consider looking for. Some are extensively studied by scientists, and have been clearly recognised as being reliable, such as temperature, ovulation pain, cervical mucus, and position of the cervix. Other clues such as your libido, your mood, migraines, appetite, and the patterns formed when your saliva dries on a microscope slide are easily observed by many women, but the results are not as consistent.

You might not be aware of all these signs, but monitoring them may help you to identify the best time to try to conceive. So why not give it a try? DuoFertility is able to accurately identify ovulation and if you enter your personal fertility clues on the device, it will use statistical calculations to assess which ones you are good at detecting, and which ones are not so reliable for you. It then uses the ones that are most reliable for you to predict your ovulation.

If you are unable to enter many fertility clues into the reader, don’t worry. DuoFertility should be able to identify the date of ovulation in time for you to try to conceive during your current cycle although recording fertility clues does increase the accuracy of this process. We believe that using DuoFertility technology will give you more accurate results than any other BBT product on the market today.

 

Related to oestrogen:

Estrogens play an important role in different parts of the reproductive system, in particular, the endometrium and the cervix

Estrogens are involved in the growth and thickening of the endometrium, which will then be able to receive and nourish a fertilised egg.

Estrogens are also involved in:

• The production of cervical mucus that is necessary for sperm survival? and for their migration towards the oocyte?
• The position of the cervix, which is closed and hard when the level of estrogens in the bloodstream is low and soft and open when estrogen levels are high
• Triggering the release of LH? which results in ovulation
The first two points are clues that you can observe on your own as they are good indicators of your fertility status.

Using DuoFertility will increase your chances of conceiving successfully by accurately monitoring your ovulation, so that you can plan baby-making intercourse for the most fertile part of your cycle.

 

Related to progesterone?:

Progesterone levels affect a range of different fertility clues (BBT) Progesterone is present during the entire menstrual cycle?, although the level of progesterone changes according to which phase of your cycle you are in.

Before ovulation, progesterone levels are low, reaching and remaining at maximum levels directly after ovulation until the day before menstruation?.

Progesterone affects:

• Body basal temperature by causing an increase in peripheral vasoconstriction, which means that it causes a concentration of blood near the core of the body
• Breast tenderness is also thought to be linked to progesterone levels.
• Progesterone may also have an effect on the hypothalamus, which is also known as the thermostat of the body.

As progesterone is only secreted in large amounts by the corpus luteum? after ovulation, measuring BBT is a very easy way of confirming that ovulation has occurred. You can find much more information about body basal temperature and how DuoFertility will help you obtain accurate BBT measurements without requiring you to take any measurements yourself here.

 

Related to LH:

The surge of LH in the middle of your cycle triggers ovulation

LH is a hormone? released by the pituitary gland?, and its level increases dramatically just before ovulation.

LH is responsible for:

• The release of the egg from the ovarian follicle?.
• The first fertility clue associated with this hormonal increase is ovulation pain.
• Mid-cycle spotting is also associated with the shift in LH levels.

Some ovulation detection kits also use the level of LH in the blood to predict ovulation.

DuoFertility is able to accurately identify ovulation and if you enter your personal fertility clues on the device, it will use statistical calculations to assess which ones you are good at detecting, and which ones are not so reliable for you. It then uses the ones that are most reliable for you to predict your ovulation.

 

 

Unrelated to hormones:

Factors which fluctuate throughout your cycle, such as mood, headaches, food cravings and libido, have not been scientifically proven to be related to specific hormones. This could be because they are affected by a combination of several hormones. It may also be that the hormone which is responsible for these factors varies from woman to woman. By recording these non-hormonal factors on the DuoFertility system, you will be able to find out whether they are good indicators of your fertility level, and whether they will be able to help you to accurately identify your fertile window?.
