Interpreting the test results

PERIOD WITHOUT OVULATION:
Punctiform structure with no specific shape

FIRST PHASE:
1–3 days prior to ovulation, you will gradually see small lines, the size of hairs. Whether you see many or only a few is not important. The decisive aspect is their presence. This test result means that ovulation will begin in the course of the next 1–3 days. It is now advisable to carry out the test at least twice a day.

SECOND PHASE:
The hair-like lines gradually increase in length and size. Some may look like eye-lashes with differing branching. This test result means that ovulation has started. Continue to carry out the test at least twice a day.

THIRD PHASE:
You will notice that the eye-lash structures increase and overlap one another. The salts contained in the saliva form a typical fern leaf pattern because of the high oestrogen level. This test result means that your cycle has now reached the most fertile phase. Continue to carry out the test at least twice a day.

	NON-FERTILE TIME WITHOUT OVULATION: Punctiform structure with no specific shape No possibility of conception
	ONE TO THREE DAYS BEFORE AND AFTER OVULATION: Small, fern-like pattern and punctiform structures 20–30% reduced possibility of conception in the days prior to ovulation
	FERTILE PERIOD, DURING OVULATION Fern-like structures, which entirely or partially cover the field of vision Strong possibility of conception

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
The quality of the saliva can be influenced by smoking, alcohol or food. You should therefore avoid these substances for at least one hour before the test. Alternatively, you can carry out the test with cervical mucus at any time. Irregular cycles are very common. Therefore, do not under any circumstances make decisions of medical importance without first speaking to your gynaecologist.
