Increase your chances of getting pregnant

The Geratherm^® ovu control provides all women who wish to have children with reliable information about their fertile days every day during the ovulation phase. With the help of the mini microscope, you can examine your dried saliva and detect your fertile days. If you see a ferning-pattern, this is an indication that ovulation is imminent. At this time, your chances of conception are especially high. The latest study results show a sensitivity of the procedure of more than 98% from three days before ovulation.

How does the saliva-based determination work?

During the monthly cycle, hormonal changes occur in women. These also have an influence on saliva and can also be identified via it. During the fertile days, the salinity in saliva increases. The reason for the change in the composition of saliva is the dramatic increase in the level of estrogen before ovulation. In the dried saliva, the resulting salt crystals show a ferning-pattern under the mini microscope. Immediately before ovulation, this ferning-pattern is most clearly visible. On the less fertile days, the so-called gravel structure appears, which has motifs similar to dots or water bubbles.

The application of the Geratherm® ovu control

To perform the test, remove the small blue lens from the mini microscope, turn it upside down and place a drop of saliva on the center of the lens and let it dry well. It is important to carry out the test immediately after getting up or not to drink, eat, smoke, brush your teeth for at least 3 hours before the saliva is collected. After the saliva has dried, put the lens back on and now look through the lens, while simultaneously pushing the button to activate the light switch. You will now see the result for the day.
