I am using another form of ovulation test (urine) in conjuction with OvaTel and they differ in their results – why?
The difference between the saliva and urine ovulation test is that they are testing for two different hormons always present in the female body. One being the Luteinizing hormone or “LH” (in urine) which is released or increases when you have already ovulated (passed) With saliva tests you are testing for an increase of salt or saline levels in your body due to estrogen. There is an increase (surge/spike)in estrogen levels approx 2-3 days prior to & during ovulation,(as seen by a fern like pattern in your dried saliva viewed thru the OvaTel microscope monitor)therefore, giving you a longer and better chance to conceive the baby you have always wanted. (Remember sperm only survives for about 24 – 72 hrs. after intercourse so you could have already missed your best chances for conceiving by using the urine tests only.
