Ovulation?

Question

Does anyone know about the saliva scope and detecting ovulation? If its full-proof, If you trust it??

Answer 1

Your better off checking your cervical fluid and charting your basal body temp. I was using a saliva scope for awhile but stopped because the other way is more reliable. If you are thinking of using the saliva scope for birth control then definately don't, for trying to get pregnant maybe, but charting is cheaper (about $40 for the scope $10 for the basal thermometer) and easier. If you go to fertilityfriend.com you can keep track of no matter which way you choose to go.

Answer 2

Just like ovulation predictor kits, the scope can be just as confusing. Especially with me, no matter what I always feel like I see two dark lines lol. Anyways, the saliva scope is easier than charting your BBT, (I would always forget) and the scope also isnt as hard to read as an OPK. Good luck with it all!

p.s. you can also find out when you are fertile not only by temps, but by cervical mucous &cervical position. Check out www.tcoyf.com

Answer 3

No, what I know...


Pregnancy tests are not accurate until 1-2 weeks after ovulation.

Emergency contraception are licensed for use up to 72 hours after sexual intercourse The effectiveness of emergency contraception is highest when taken within 12 hours of intercourse and declines over time.

Plan B® is now available without a prescription for consumers age 18 or older, but a prescription is needed for women 17 and younger.

If you live in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts or Washington, you can get Plan B® without a prescription at some pharmacies; however, you should call your pharmacy in advance to make sure they offer and stock Plan B

Random acts of intercourse achieve a 24% pregnancy rate per cycle.
Having sex on certain days of the cycle has pregnancy rates to 31%-68%
Note that 25% of pregnancies are lost within the first six weeks since the woman's last menstrual period

For all fertility awareness methods, actual effectiveness can be significantly lower than method effectiveness - some studies have found actual failure rates of 25% per year or higher.

Post-ovulation methods (i.e. abstaining from intercourse from menstruation until after ovulation) have a method failure rate of 1% per year.

The symptothermo method has a method failure rate of 2% per year.

The cervical mucus-only methods have a method failure rate of 3% per year.

Calendar rhythm has a method failure rate of 9% per year.

The Standard Days Method has a method failure rate of 5% per year.
