I purchased an ovulation scope. I was wondering, others who have used this, did you collect the saliva from the front or back of your mouth? Its has been 7 days since the start of my period and if I collect from just under my toungue I get nothing, but from the back gives me ferns? This is the first day in 7 days of testing that I get ferns from either place. Would you think I'm ovulating, or getting ready to? (The test does say it can show up as much as 3-4 days before ovulation occurs) Also, did anyone ever get fern patterns while they were mestrating? I figured this was just the change in hormone levels from menstrating, but I did get a lot of ferns while menstrating, but they went away the day after my period stopped.

I used the scope for many cycles--I collected saliva from under my tongue. I did get ferning during my period--and also while on clomid--due to the high levels of estrogen. I typically started to see a partial fern 4 days before ovulation and a full ferning the day before, day of, and often the day after ovulation. I've heard, but never tried, that many women get better results putting cervical mucus on the slide instead of saliva--it's suppossed to fern the same way as saliva.
