Q. Why is it difficult for me to see?

Ferning using the mini microscope?

A. There are many reasons why you may find OvaCycle hard at first. If you have never used a microscope, you may have to spend some time getting used to it. Keep trying! The more you use the scope, the more capable you will become at reading the results easily. A common reason for not seeing anything in your scope is that the animal may not be in her fertile period. This means you will see little dots and no Ferning at this time and may accidently think you are reading it wrong. Here are 4 tips for successful use:

  1. Place the right amount of saliva onto the center of the OvaCycle lens inside the cavity/hole, approximately 1mm by 1mm (This is an actual size of the saliva needed)
  2. Wait for the sample to completely air dry: approximately 30 minutes. The sample must be completely air dried. Using drying devices or reading while wet can cause incorrect results.
  3. Once dry, point the OvaCycle scope (lens up facing light) directly into a bright light. This can be a window or lamp. Move the lens away and toward your eye slowly till you can see the crystals. This can be as close as your eyelashes or as far as two inches from your eye.
  4. Interpret what you see. This may take practice. If you the animal is at the beginning of her cycle you may not see much but write down what you do see. This will enable you to see the partial and full Ferning patterns as the animal get closer and enter her fertile window.
Q. How do I clean my OvaCycle?

A. To clean your OvaCycle scope just use any dry cotton cloth (t-shirt, microfiber cleansing cloth,
cloth towel). Do not  use something that will leave lint behind like a cleanex tissue paper. Gently wipe the slide and emphasize cleaning the cavity/whole that the saliva sample goes into. You may use a drop of water to clean the slide area. Do not use anything abrasive to clean the slide.

Q. Can I dry my sample with a fan, dryer, or by waving in the air?

A. No. If you manually dry your saliva sample with a fan, waving it in the air, or with a hair dryer, you will not get the desired results. Your sample must air dry to give you the patterns you are supposed to see.
