As estrogen rises toward its peak (in a typical
menstrual cycling woman) her mucus membranes produce more salt in the body. This salt is
elevated in proportion to the estrogen rise and when dry will form fernlike or frostlike
patterns. As a woman nears this time of enhanced fertility the patterns
forming on a slide would begin to show the coming together of these dots and the
beginnings of what is called ferns. This is the time when one would abstain if not
wishing to conceive and begin to "Baby Dance" if wishing to.
As estrogen comes to a
peak these dots disappear and a woman should see a full pattern of ferns with a peak
around day 12-13 just prior to ovulation. This is the signal that ovulation is
eminent in much the same timing as an ovulation predictor kit would tell. The
difference, of course, is that The Fertility TrackerŪ
is a lifetime purchase and is not dependent on any chemical reactions to messy urine.
It is safe; it is clean; it is reusable; and it is a woman's best friend in
fertility tracking.

when they should begin Natural Progesterone supplementation with a product such as
