ABOUT
THE
OvaCUE® OVULATION PREDICTOR The N.I.H. study tracked more than 2,000 cycles of women using the OvaCUE® 's Electrolyte Method™ of ovulation prediction. Results confirmed The OvaCUE® Predictor offered the most advance notice possible of ovulation, giving women seeking pregnancy a greater chance of successful impregnation. In addition, comments showed the OvaCUE® much more convenient and affordable over time than other methods of predicting fertility. For details of this study see the Scientific Abstract. The
OvaCUE® Electronic Ovulation Predictor
consists of an oral sensor the
size of a quarter attached to a small, hand-held computer. Placed on the tongue for
10 seconds every morning, it measures and stores in memory the changes in electrolytes in saliva that
occur several days before ovulation. An optional vaginal reading confirms ovulation has
occurred.
Watch the VIDEO (windows media format 2.4 meg 2 minutes) USING THE OvaCUE® OVULATION PREDICTOR The OvaCUE® uses the exclusive Electrolyte Method to provide the best option available for ovulation prediction and detection. The OvaCUE® gives up to 7 days advance notice of ovulation by measuring changes that occur in electrolytes in saliva when the egg (dominant follicle) is selected for ovulation. The OvaCUE® will also confirm ovulation on the day it occurs, thus completely defining a women's fertile window. All daily readings are automatically stored in memory and data is internally correlated over each month's cycle history to provide the most accurate customized prediction and forecast of ovulation start date in the current cycle. The OvaCUE tracks the readings in memory and indicates your most fertile days graphically on a calendar in the unit display To
use the OvaCUE®, you simply put the spoon-sized oral sensor probe on your
tongue for eight seconds each morning. Simply place a
spoon-sized sensor on your tongue for five seconds each morning and the OvaCUE
will automatically record your fertility for the day. The OvaCUE tracks the
readings in memory and indicates your most fertile days graphically on a
calendar. After sufficient data has been stored,
the user simply presses the calculation button on the unit to
display the PRINCIPLE OF THE ELECTROLYTE METHOD It takes a woman's body several days to prepare for ovulation. This process is managed by a complex interaction of hormones. Approximately one week before ovulation, a threshold of increasing amounts of the estrogen hormone is reached. At this time, one ovum is selected from among the many available in either of the two ovaries. This one ovum begins to grow and the uterus begins to be prepared to receive a potential fertilized egg. Concurrently, other hormones change the amounts of minerals, principally sodium and potassium (electrolytes), that are kept or discarded by the body. This change in electrolyte concentration produces the OvaCUE® Peak, a high point in the OvaCUE® salivary readings of electrolytes which precedes the LH Peak. Several days after the OvaCUE® Peak, production of the luteinizing hormone (LH) increases and decreases very sharply over a period of 24 hours (the LH peak). LH is the hormone that triggers the release of the ovum from the ovary. The egg is released within 24 hours after LH hormone production is at its peak. Some time (as much as 12 hours) after the peak of LH production, LH becomes present in the urine. It is this increasing concentration of urine LH that can be detected by the urine based ovulation tests. Prediction using the urine LH method therefore depends on the correlation between the time of the highest blood LH, the time the urine test detects LH, and the time of ovulation. Optimally, the time between the urine LH signal and actual ovulation can be 18 hours in advance. Conversely, the possibility exists that the urine LH signal is seen only after ovulation has already occurred. The OvaCUE® Electrolyte method eliminates these potential timing problems by signaling ovulation 5-7 days in advance with 98% accuracy. Please see the Scientific Abstract and the OvaCUE® Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for more information and the OvaCUE® Video.

OPTIONAL VAGINAL SENSOR
The OvaCUE Vaginal Sensor measures electrolyte changes in vaginal mucus, just as the oral sensor measures electrolytes in saliva. With these measurements, OvaCUE will mark the end of your fertile window and confirm ovulation by recording the change from estrogen to progesterone dominance. This usually happens the day before ovulation and marks the change from estrogen to progesterone dominance, indicating ovulation has occurred. While the vaginal sensor is not required for predicting ovulation, the optional sensor will aid in pinpointing ovulation. If you are uncertain about whether you are ovulating, the vaginal sensor will give you a clear answer. It also gives you the added confidence that the OvaCUE does indeed predict your date of ovulation accurately. COMPLIMENTARY OVAGRAPH™ TRACKING SOFTWARE
