Get pregnant with Baby Time™
Many healthy couples have difficulty conceiving. On average, 20% of healthy couples don’t get pregnant in their first year of trying. A perfectly fertile young woman in her mid twenties has somewhere between a 20 and 25% chance of conceiving during each month of unprotected sex. For many women, ovulation period is a rare occurrence, or is simply irregular. This is why it is extremely important for couples who wish to get pregnant to know exactly when is the best time for a woman to get pregnant.
Baby Time™ uses a woman’s saliva to detect the time of month during which she is most fertile. It is a mini microscope that uses breakthrough technology in the field of ovulation detection, representing a new method far more advanced than the current disposable urine ovulation testers. “Ovulation microscopy” utilizes microscopic changes in saliva, due to elevations in estrogen levels. Increased levels of estrogen hormones during fertile days can be seen in the dry saliva sample as a “fern leaves”. During an infertile period, dots or pebble like patterns in dried saliva are shown on a microscope slide.
The phenomenon of the saliva crystallization (the fern phenomenon) has been known ever since 1957 when discovered by the Italian gynecologists Andreoli and Della Porta of the University of Turin. They discovered that the level of estrogen could be detected through visual observation of a dried saliva sample on a microscope slide. It has been confirmed afterwards by many published papers and world wide applied clinical examinations.
Baby Time™ Mini Ovulation Microscope has been tested in prominent Medical Institutions in Europe for its reliability.
Figure A (dotted structure)
Dotted structure can be seen from the beginning of menstruation up to 3-4 days prior to ovulation, as well as from 2-3 days after ovulation up to onset of the following menstruation. It is highly unlikely that woman may become pregnant. This is the infertile period.
Figure B (mixed structure)
About 3-4 days prior to ovulation, the fern branches begin to appear besides the dots. Also, during the 2-3 days after ovulation, mixed structure appears again.
Figure C (ferning structure)
On the day of ovulation, ferning structure is the most dense.
B/C – The entire period of fertile days during which a woman may become pregnant if she has a sexual intercourse.
When is pregnancy possible?
The menstrual cycle of a woman includes the time from the onset of one menstruation up to the onset of the following one. At midcycle there comes to ovulation – the female ovum reaching its maturity. That is also the time when mucous membrane of uterus matures and is ready to receive the fertilized egg. Biological properties of the ovum suggest that conception is possible at some definite point of time during the cycle coinciding with ovulation. Taking into consideration that female egg is capable of being fertilized at most 48 hours after ovulation, and that spermatozoa retain their capacity to fertilize eggs even up to four days after ejaculation, fertile period is estimated to be 7 days long, at the midcycle (see the diagram).
