Device to know your ovulation Time

Knowing when the time is right to try for a baby could be much easier. In another words it may be much more comfortable now to know when not to try for a baby ! Biotechnology and medical diagnostic company Pheromone Sciences of Vancouver, Canada, has developed a wrist watch like gadget that tells women when they are about to ovulate and are most likely to conceive.

This gadget works by measuring changes in the acidity of  sweat. This is determined by the hormone levels which indicate the woman's  fertility status. The PSC Fertility Monitor can indicate if a woman is fertile, non -fertile or ovulating. This device is worn at night while sleeping, it includes a chemical sensor and a microprocessor that calculates the changes which are displayed on the device.

Trials showed that the device correctly predicted ovulation to within two days in 76 % of subjects.

Women are mostly fertile and likely to ovulate halfway through their monthly cycle, usually days 10-17. But many women do not fit into this pattern. 

Knowing the time of ovulation for a woman may be very important if she is trying to have a baby and also if she want to avoid having one.
