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." The OvaCUE® is a highly sensitive medical instrument,
simple to use and interpret, and extremely accurate in predicting the female
fertility "window".

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
predicted ovulation start date.
Optionally, the user can maintain a separate chart and manually record the
reading. These readings can then plotted on the accompanying
OvaCUE® Chart,
which will enable you to identify the OvaCUE® Peak that occurs 5-7 days before
ovulation. Advance notice of ovulation is crucial for fertilization
because male sperm require 24-36 hours to reach an egg that may only be viable for
as little as eight hours. Unlike other fertility monitors, The oral sensor is
all you need to test repeatedly, there are no costly additional test strips
required for use.
With the
OvaCUE®, you can also use the optional vaginal sensor probe to confirm
ovulation by measuring changes in the electrolytes directly from the
reproductive tract. You simply connect the vaginal sensor (about the size of a
tampon) to the same unit and take an eight second reading. These readings
are then plotted on the OvaCUE® Chart and will drop and then rise sharply (>20%)
if ovulation occurred. To view a sample OvaCUE® Chart see
below. Please note the vaginal method is optional, the OvaCUE® will predict ovulation
accurately using the standard saliva probe included. Couples seeking pregnancy, should plan for intercourse the day the
OvaCUE® Peak is
identified and every other day after that until ovulation is confirmed.
Once ovulation is confirmed, wait 2-3 weeks. If your menstrual period does
not begin, an AimStick PDB or other pregnancy test should be used to determine
if impregnation has been achieved.
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®

CHARTING
USING THE OvaCUE®
 |
CHARTING
This is a
typical OvaCUE® Chart completed during the female cycle. The OvaCUE® Peak occurred on Day
10 of the cycle and ovulation was
confirmed on Day 16. In this example, 6 days warning preceded ovulation. To maximize the chance of becoming pregnant a couple should schedule
intercourse for
days 13-15 (at a minimum). Complete detailed instructions on how to create and interpret your
OvaCUE® chart are in the OvaCUE® Owner's Manual included with each
OvaCUE® ovulation
prediction system.

actual OvaCUE® Chart is available for download in Adobe PDF format.

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.
