Ovulite is an optical device which allows a woman to predict the ovulation phase of her cycle in order to know the days of the month during which she is most likely to conceive. It consists of a small cylindrical container about the size of a lipstick tube, a focalizable eyepiece and a small slide where the saliva sample is placed and illuminated with an LED (light emitting diode) when a button is pressed.
Ovulite "personal ovulation microscope"operates based upon the principle
that saliva or cervical fluid forms a "ferning" pattern when dried which
indicates the biochemical and hormonal changes (estrogen) taking place in the
body during ovulation. These fern-like shapes (which appear like frost on a windowpane)
are easily observable through the Ovulite™ ocular lens which is capable
of a 40X magnification.
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 much like frost on a windowpane.
Once you have learned to recognize these patterns over 2 or 3 months of cycles
you will be able to accurately determine the optimal days for conception.
IS THERE A PARTICULAR TIME OF DAY WHEN IT
IS BEST TO PERFORM THE TEST?
Yes --- in the morning upon
awakening. Before eating breakfast or brushing your teeth take a
small sample of your saliva and place it on the sample slide. Once the saliva
has completely dried (10 minutes or so) you can check the results.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE
OVULITE?
It is recommended that you use it daily for the first
few months while maintaining a record of your results. After a while you will
begin to recognize the normal patterns for your own body. A Fertility Tester
Diary card has been provided for this purpose.
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 TO READ THE RESULTS
 |
Conception is NOT LIKELY
You will see a random
pattern of spots and lines indicating no ovulation. You are NOT FERTILE at this
time. |
 |
Conception is POSSIBLE but NOT LIKELY
Small
patterns like the leaves of ferns begin to appear among the spots and lines.
Ovulation will probably occur in 3-4 days. Conception may occur during this
transitional period but is not likely. |
 |
Conception is HIGHLY LIKELY
Fern
leaf patterns are dominant throughout the specimen. 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. |
