How do I use my personal ovulation tester:

It only takes a few minutes to take the ovulation test. To find out more follow the instructions below and images on the right hand side.

 

1. Ensure you have not had anything to eat or drink for at least 3 hours prior to using personal ovulation tester (water is fine).

 

2. Remove the protective cover.

 

3. PULL the viewfinder (lens) from the housing but DO NOT unscrew the eyepiece (rotating part of the

    viewfinder).

 

3a.(Before 1st use – remove protective plastic cover from the lens – light blue in colour).


4. Clean the flat internal glass surface of the viewfinder with the tissue or cotton swab in the alcohol. Do

    NOT use water, cleaning products or other cloth as this may scratch the lens.

 

5. Using a clean fingertip place a smear of saliva over the flat internal glass surface of the viewfinder. Make

    sure there are no bubbles of saliva on the lens.

 

6. Leave the saliva to dry for approximately 5 minutes. The indication of oestrogen in the saliva (i.e. the

    fern like pattern) will only appear in a dry saliva sample.

 

7. Replace the viewfinder.

 

8. Hold the personal ovulation tester up close to your eye, as mini-microscope.

 

9. Press the light switch on the bottom of the personal ovulation tester.

 

10.View the results through the viewfinder.

 

11.Please note that the results will NOT be black. The pebble/fern pattern will be translucent/grayish

    against the green background and very obvious.

 

12.It is recommended that you start your own chart to record your cycle. This chart will help you to identify

    your own cycle and fern patterns.

THE NEW PRODUCT TO PLAN THE WOMAN’S INTIMATE AND REPRODUCTIVE LIFE.

PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST

The female fertility period occurs once during the monthly menstrual cycle. The ovum (egg) matures in approximately the middle

of the cycle, about 14 days prior to the onset of menstruation. During a woman’s menstrual cycle, there are only about 3 days

when her egg is available for fertilisation. Sperm can survive up to 72 hours (3 days) in the vagina and uterus, so if sexual intercourse

occurs up to 3 days before a woman is fertile, she can still become pregnant. Thus, there are about 6 days per month (3 days prior to

fertility and 3 days of fertility) that a woman can conceive. Calculation of this fertile period using traditional methods can be quite

inaccurate, especially in the case of women with irregular cycles. For couples wanting children, or concerned with family planning,

the results can be frustrating at best. Fortunately, specific biological changes in the female body can indicate fertile and infertile periods.

Just prior to ovulation, salts (or electrolytes) increase dramatically in body fluids (e.g. saliva and cervical mucus) along with the

hormone estrogens. Consequently, being able to identify this increase in salts (electrolytes) is a valid method for identifying the onset of

ovulation. It has been clinically and scientifically observed that, during the fertile period, a sample of normal female saliva or cervical

mucus, when dried and examined under a microscope, contains many structures resembling ferns. These fern structures are actually

dried salt or electrolyte crystals present as a result of the electrolyte build up prior to and during ovulation. On all other days of the

female cycle only shapeless, dotted structures can be seen. A miniature microscope designed specifically to aid in the indication

of the fertility period is now available. Any woman can now easily check her fertility cycle anytime, anywhere without the need for basal

charting or urine samples. Saliva is the most accessible body fluid and easiest to obtain. There is no need for complicated blood or

urine tests. “Fern” structuring starts 3-4 days before ovulation and ceases 2-3 after ovulation. The DONNA microscope is a scientific

instrument with a precision 68X power magnification lens that, with proper care, can be discreetly used over and over again.

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What is the DONNA Saliva Fertility Tester?

The DONNA Saliva Fertility Tester is an instrument that helps a woman identify the fertile and infertile periods during her monthly cycle.

 

How does it work?

DONNA’s optical block magnifies your sample of saliva (or cervical mucus). By comparing the image you are seeing in the microscope

with the three images provided in the instructions for use (see overleaf) you can determine your hormone activity and whether you are

at a less or more fertile period.

 

Why should I use the DONNA?

It is fast: the DONNA microscope requires only a five minute interval for the saliva sample to dry. Once dry, view the sample through

  the lens to determine the result.

It is clean and easy-to-use: "No messy urine tests" is the main advantage. There is a slight learning curve with any fertility tester;

  suggest to utilise the first cycle to master the art of interpretation.

It is educational: By monitoring results every day, you learn about your own fertility patterns and the nuances of your cycle. Over

  time, you will be able to get a bird's eye view of your cycle history. Monitor results daily, even when you are not ovulating.

It is good for women with irregular cycles: Unlike hit and miss LH surges (and the sheer volume of tests needed to pinpoint an LH

  surge), the DONNA allows women with irregular cycles to focus on their estrogens surge.

It is accurate: 98% accuracy, proven in clinical trials. But that means following the directions (no eating, drinking, smoking, or

  brushing teeth before taking a sample).

It is early ovulation detectors: Tracks ovulation with up to 72 hours notice. This provides plenty of time to plan ahead your sexual

  behaviour.

It is convenient and discreet: You can use your DONNA anywhere, anytime, and everyone will think you are just looking into a tube

  of lipstick.

It is affordable: Compared with the amount of money spent on urine LH tests, the DONNA is a very cost effective way to predict

  fertility.

 

The DONNA is not suitable for:

Women in advanced menopause

Women under hormonal contraception (the pill) or hormonal

therapy

Women who have in the last two months been pregnant

Women receiving fertility drugs, such as clomiphene citrate,

should not use the device since these drugs cause an increase

in hormone levels which will induce ferning images.
