Possible Intervention includes;
Timed Intercourse
-involves determination of ovulation
-objective to have intercourse within
12hrs of ovulation
OVULATIONcan be adversely affected by Abnormalities of the thyroid gland Over production of prolactin(a hormone
that leads to breast milk production) Excessive male hormone (androgen) STRESS-physical, psychological and
extreme life style changes Thereby making it extremely difficult to
determine ovulation
Present method of determination of OVULATION includes;
Basal Body Temp. Chart– Temp. Spike occurs after ovulation
Mid cycle pain- Sharp pain in the pelvic area usually
lasting some minutes or up to some hours
Cervical Mucus Changes– Should be Clear and Stretchy
Drawbacks of present techniques for determination of OVULATION Cumbersome nature of the
procedure Inaccurate results Process not easily
observed in most women Difficulty in interpretation
of result Messy procedure Expensive
Creating a need for the birth of a novel product;
Simple and convenient to use
Guarantees accurate results
Hygienic procedure enhancing compliance
Can easily and accurately predict ovulation period in women
Very affordable
Predicte
Mechanism of Action of
Detects Spike in Leutenizing Hormone in the urine in the middle of the Menstrual Cycle.
The Menstrual Cycle
Start cycle Day 1-5. FSH (from brain) released into bloodstream - initiate follicles in ovary to grow.
Follicles growDay 6 - 11. One follicle grow faster than the others. Follicles start producing Oestrogen hormone.
Oestrogen + FSH will prepare the womb (thicken) for later egg implantation.
LH released
OvulationFor 3 days, egg will travel in fallopian tube, waiting to be fertilized by a sperm.
24 - 36 hours later, egg released from Ovary. LH & FSH drop drastically.
Day 12 - 14. Lutenising Hormone (LH) released for egg to “ripen” and burst from ovary.
Continue….
The Menstrual Cycle……….continue
Ovulation Unfertilized
Egg expelled along with womb lining on the 28th day (menstruation)
Fertilized
Few days to travel to womb. Get implanted
Human Chorines Gonadotrophin (hCG) released for maintenance of the womb linings. Peak 60 - 80 days after conception.
Pregnancy Test + Positive !
The Ovulation Cycle
24-36 hours after LH surge
Oestrogen
FSH

-A Non Invasive Procedure Collect urine once a day at about the same time
every day.
For best result reduce liquid intake for 2 hours before collecting urine and do not urinate for about 4 hours
Easy to use
Remove the Test Strip from the sealed pouch
Immerse the strip into the urine with the arrow end pointing towards the urine.
Do not immerse past the MAX (marker line)
TEST PROCEDURE
Cont… Take the strip out after 5 seconds and lay on a clean,
dry, non-absorbent surface. Wait for colored bands to appear. Depending on
concentration of LH in the test specimen, positive may be observed in as little as 40 seconds. However, to confirm negative results, the complete reaction time of 10 minutes is required.
DO NOT READ RESULT AFTER MORE THAN 30 MINUTES!
Ease in interpretation of result
INVALID NO LH SURGE i.e.
Negative LH SURGE i.e.
POSITIVE
Positive RESULT means…
OVULATION WILL OCCUR IN THE NEXT 24-36 HRS!!!
So you know when to advice intercourse to achieve the desired goal!– Conception– Meeting for Couples Apart
AND…
Aids determination of baby’s sex MALE - X or Y
CHROMOSONES FEMALE – X
CHROMOSONES ONLY
RECALL THAT….
X+Y Fusion = Male – X+X Fusion =Female
– Y-sperm cells are light and swim faster across the cervix
– X-sperm cells are heavy and swim slowly
– Y-sperm cells die faster
– X-sperm cells survive longer
SO..
Intercourse some days before Ovulation-– More likely to yield X+X fusion i.e. Female
Intercourse immediately after Ovulation– higher probability of Y+X fusion i.e. Male
Summary of benefits EASY AND CONVENIENT TO USE NON INVASIVE AND HYGIENIC
TECHNIQUE - ENHANCING COMPLIANCE ACCURATE RESULT SIMPLE TO INTERPRETE VERY AFFORDABLE AIDS NATURAL CONCEPTION ALSO USEFUL IN NATURAL SEX
