Saliva fertility monitors: know the differences
Your saliva is an ideal medium for monitoring your fertility status. It is easily accessible and gives reliable chemical signals. Compared to urine monitoring methods, saliva gives an earlier indication of bodily changes, and is, of course, simply more pleasant to deal with.
In the last few years, the market has been flooded with saliva-based fertility monitors that depend on the user to make a visual diagnosis of physical patterns in the saliva. These instruments, known as ferning scopes, do detect real changes, but do not give an unambiguous signal like a digital instrument does. Also, the process of collecting and handling the samples can introduce error. Read Zetek’s full assessment of ferning scopes.
Zetek is the first company to market saliva-based ovulation prediction technology in the U.S. The OvaCue Fertility Monitor, using Zetek’s patented Electrolyte Method, is still the world’s only electronic saliva-based fertility monitor.
