Fertile-Focus Saliva Ovulation Test

Let me do a pro/con list and at the end a personal account of this device.
Pros: Non invasive, Easy to use, INEXPENSIVE, quick results, Small doesn’t draw attention if carried in a purse as its about the size of a tube of lipstick and suck, Attractive color scheme that doesn’t draw attention, Clear and Easily understood directions for the device, I like how you have a paper chart or you can upload the app to keep records of your readings (I do both), Easy to apply the sample to be evaluated. Very Fast results with in 5 mins.

Cons: After using the device the black metal/pain begins to flake from either adjusting it so you can see the sample clearly or putting it back into the tube. These flakes got down between the glass and the lense part of the device I had gentle cleaned, blew air anything I could to get the large black specks off before gently unskrewing it all the way and blowing them off without touching the lense and putting it back together. The device is hard to line back up to push the lens back into the piece that hold he light. I ended up using a sharpie to mark it to make it easier but it can still be annoying especially as your afraid of ruining it (cracking/scratching the lens, having it fall apart, having the tube crack as it is brittle plastic, breaking the light), Having the button you have to push and hold at the bottom of the device is bothersome. You could set it down on a table and use it like a microscope if the button was on the side you can’t set it up at all right now unless upside down and it’s to risky for the lense, also its hard to hold the button down on the bottom try to adjust the lense to see clearly and hold it perfectly still at your eye all at the same time.

Personal Account: I got this on the last two days of my period, spotting mainly, I followed the directions applied saliva sample let it dry and was ferning fully. I actually was shocked at how intricate I was able to see the crystal pattern. I thought maybe it was a fluke after all who is showing this at the last days of there period, then next day I tested fully ferning again, third day I could see it begin to wane and so on until it was none at all. It went against all the ovulation predictors I have ever seen or used before in that I was ovulating right at the end of my period ( my periods are very short 4 or 5 days at most) then for my last baby I used a Fertility Monitor device that used urine sticks and put them in a detailed journal over the course of 6 months when we felt I knew my cycle enough to try and did become pregnant on that try. All of them showed me ovulating at the very end of my period or within the first week after my period. My oldest I conceived her the week after my period. I recall this because I hurt so bad I had to go to the ER and I’d just met my husband. It was our first time together I that way so its very much in my mind. As I am coming closer to my period this cycle I am noticing light as in two or three crystal formations showing on the lens. So I can say this does work in so far as showing hormone levels. Though I have not seen a transitional to fully ferning just one day non fertile the next full ferning. If I do indeed conceive I will report back withw hen and how long it took as I got this in July 1st of 2017.
