Trial Protocol and Sample Result of a Study Comparing the ClearPlan Easy™ Fertility Monitor with Serum Hormone and Vaginal Ultrasound Measurements in the Determination of Ovulation
This paper presents a preliminary result from a study designed to evaluate the ability of the ClearPlan Easy™ Fertility Monitor* to predict ovulation, compared with conventional methods of ovulation determination, i.e. serum hormone measurements (estradiol and luteinizing hormone) and vaginal ultrasound scans (follicle size and endometrium thickness). Fifty-five female volunteers will be monitored over 3 consecutive monthly cycles. Preliminary data gathered from one volunteer are included in this presentation. These data indicate that the ClearPlan Easy™ Fertility Monitor predicted ovulation as accurately as serum hormone measurements and vaginal ultrasound scans. The results show that this monitor has potential as a home-based ovulation predictor for couples attempting to conceive.
