Biological Principle

When is conception possible?

The menstrual cycle of a woman includes the time from the onset of the menstruation up to the onset of the following one. At middle of the cycle there comes to ovulation – the female ovum reaching its maturity.

That is also the time when mucosa membrane of uterus matures and is ready to receive the fertilized egg.

Biological properties of the ovum suggest that concentration is possible at some define 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, FERTILITY PERIOD is estimated to be during 6 days at the middle of the cycle (see the diagram).

Technical Data

Maybe-Baby Test is individual medical diagnostic device for any woman – Easy Ovulation Tester.

TECHNICAL PRINCIPLE

Due to the increased contents of estrogen hormones during the fertile days, the quality of salts in saliva rises. By means of the optical system magnifying 52 times, crystallized salts in the dry saliva sample can be seen as “fern leaves”.

History

Maybe-Baby Test – Easy Ovulation Tester, for any woman.

History of Discovered Principle

The phenomenon of saliva crystallization or arborization (‘fern’ phenomenon) was discovered in 1957. by C. Andreoli & Della Porta from University in Torino, Italy.

This phenomenon has been confirmed in many scientific papers and in clinical trials all over the world and it has been applied in medical practice ever since.  The method is based on the fact that in the first half of the menstrual cycle, woman’s estrogen level in saliva (and other fluids) gradually increases, reaching a maximum concentration on the day of ovulation, and then rapidly decreases.

This leads to an increased concentration of sodium chloride solution (salt). The appearance of ferns in the dried sample of saliva is, in fact, a picture of crystallized salt. Appearance of, the amount of,  and structure of the ferns corresponds to the change in concentrations of estrogen.

Due to the increased contents of estrogen hormones during the fertile days, the quality of salts in saliva rises. By means of the optical system magnifying 52 times, crystallized salts in the dry saliva sample can be seen as “fern leaves”.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

For accurate results, it is very important to use Maybe-Baby according to the instructions for use!

You will quickly and easily get used to the proper use of  Maybe-Baby.

If you have brushed your teeth, consumed food or beverages,  smoked a cigarette 3 hours prior to testing, results may be inaccurate!

The best time for testing is in the morning, before brushing your teeth. Additionally, the analysis results may be affected by acute infection or inflammation of the oral cavity, the food residues between the teeth, or the use of certain medications. Saliva sample should be evenly spread on the sample plate.

Do not apply too much of saliva, and do not apply too much pressure.

Maybe-Baby is Mini Microscope for self-testing and observing the sensitive microscopic image of the dried saliva sample. With regular use, by means of which observing saliva crystallization phenomenon, you can determine monthly cycle, time of ovulation and its approximation.

How to use Maybe-Baby Mini Microscope?

In the morning or during the day at least three hours before brushing your teeth, eating, drinking or smoking, apply saliva (one drop only) without bubbles on the glass surface of the eyepiece.

A - DOTTED

STRUCTURE - INFERTILE​ DAYS

From the onset of menstruation up to 3-4 days of prior to ovulation, as well as 2-3 days after ovulation up to the onset of the following menstruation, the dried salive sample produces DOTTED STRUCTURE without any particular shape.

This is the period of INFERTILE DAYS during which a woman cannot become pregnant.

b-translational

B – MIXED

STRUCTURE – FERTILE DAYS​

The 3-4 days prior to ovulation in dried saliva sample fern pattern starts to appear - forming MIXED STRUCTURE.
This structure is seen again 2-3 days after the ovulation.

This complete period, including the day of ovulation, is the period of FERTILE DAYS in which conceiving is possible.

C – FERN

STRUCTURE – FERTILE DAYS ​

From the appearance of mixed structure up to ovulation day, the density of fern increases. 

On the day of ovulation, FERN STRUCTURE is the densest.

This period, including a few days before and after ovulation day, are FERTILE DAYS when conceiving is possible.
