Monitoring My Ovulation

Monitoring your ovulation will help you to identify your most fertile days. This will allow you to time your love-making around ovulation, thereby increasing your chances of getting pregnant. Studies have shown that most women cannot identify their most fertile days during their menstrual cycle, even though they might think they can!

Monitoring your fertility levels tends to rely on the accurate identification of ovulation and there are a number of ways of doing this in the home environment. However, until now, the methods used for detecting ovulation have relied heavily on women being willing to make their own observations routinely and accurately.

The two most common methods for detecting ovulation at home are:

• Hormone based urine test kits. This method measures LH (lutenising hormone) levels in the urine, and consists of test strips that must be dipped in your urine. These tests can be used to estimate the possible date of ovulation, but cannot confirm that ovulation has occurred.
• Body basal temperature (BBT) charting. This method detects the small increase in body temperature that occurs around ovulation and can confirm that ovulation has occurred. Before the development of DuoFertility, traditional methods of measuring BBT required early morning temperature measurements and complicated BBT charts to complete and interpret.

DuoFertility’s technology eliminates lengthy manual temperature charting, early morning measurements and the inaccuracies associated with traditional methods.

The DuoFertility sensor monitors your body temperature continuously to determine your BBT automatically. There is no need for early morning temperature charting as DuoFertility takes care of it for you.

The DuoFertility reader will then display your fertility status for the next 6 days, giving you plenty of time to plan a romantic evening. You will also be able to visualise your temperature charts in detail on your PC, thanks to the DuoFertility software.

According to a study conducted by Dr Petra Frank-Herrmann, a world expert on ovulation detection and natural family planning, measuring BBT together with recording cervical mucus quality is 99.7% accurate at identifying your most fertile days.

Using the latest technology developed by scientists from the University of Cambridge, DuoFertility allows you to conveniently and accurately measure your BBT, with the option of recording the quality of your cervical mucus and other ovulation signs in order to improve the accuracy of detection.

In the study conducted, Dr Frank-Herrmann stated that couples trying for a baby could use these methods to improve their chances of conception - this is now possible with DuoFertility!
