An Affordable, Accurate Fertility Saliva Ovulation Test
Designed by leading fertility expert, Dr. Amos Grunebaum, ObGyn, Fertile-Focus is the affordable high-quality saliva-based fertility test (or personal ovulation microscope) that predicts ovulation – up to 72 hours in advance.
Fertile-Focus allows women to identify their most fertile days by testing and viewing the visual changes that take place in saliva throughout the monthly cycle. Just prior to ovulation, women experience an “estrogen surge,” and a distinct fern-like pattern becomes visible in saliva due to the hormonal changes. Fertile-Focus provides the highest quality, powerful 50x magnification lens for easily identifying these crystal “ferning” patterns.
Ranked as a top customer favorite for quality, convenience and price, Fertile-Focus offers the best value to both consumer and retailer/distributor in the ovulation microscope market. It offers accuracy without the mess and monthly expense of urine ovulation tests.

FAQ
Here’s our list of most frequently asked questions. If your question is not listed or you need further clarification, please contact us directly.
What is the best way to collect a saliva sample?
We recommend you collect your saliva sample prior to eating or drinking anything. We recommend that you take the sample from underneath your tongue, with the tip of your finger. You will want to ensure that you are waiting until your sample has completely dried prior to interpreting your result.
Can I test at any point in the day?
We only recommend that you test first thing in the morning (before eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth) as it will be the most accurate sample. If you were to test later on in the day, all the food and drink you’ve consumed will alter the results.
Is this reusable?
Yes, you will use the microscope daily. After each use, you will want to clean your lens with a damp cloth.
Do the results stay on the lens of the microscope until I wipe it off?
Yes, your saliva will dry on the lens and remain there until you clean it.
What should your results look like if you are pregnant OR before menstruation starts?
If you’ve conceived, you may see extended ferning patterns. You may also see ferning around menstruation.
Will my ferning pattern change if I review the results after 5 minutes?
No, your pattern will be the same. You do want to ensure that your saliva is entirely dry before interpreting the results. If you notice no patterning at the 5 minute review time, then you can either try to apply less saliva for a quicker dry time, or you can just read the results after 30-60 minutes.
What is the accuracy of this tracking tool?
The FertileFocus is 98% accurate.
What if I don’t see any results?
For the majority of your cycle, you will not see any patterning. This is completely normal! Ferning will become visible in saliva only when estrogen is present. So, as you approach your fertile window you will see transitional ferning become full ferning as estrogen increases an ovulation is approaching.
Will this product work for someone that has irregular cycles?
The FertileFocus can be used by women with irregular cycles. It may take a cycle or two to understand your specific trends, however.
How would exclusive breastfeeding affect the results?
When breastfeeding, it’s common to see more ferning patterns due to your hormonal fluctuations.
What type of battery is required?
The FertileFocus comes with a battery ready for your use. If you have to replace the battery on your unit, you will want to purchase a standard watch battery, code GPA76.
My eyes are sensitive to the light. Any tips on reviewing results?
We recommend that you use a piece of tissue to soften the light.
Can I use the FertileFocus with another tracking tool?
Yes, we highly recommend that you are using as many tracking tools as possible to best pinpoint your fertile window. If you are using the OvaCue or tracking your BBT, then we would encourage that you take these readings before taking your saliva sample for review.

4 out of 5 Convenient
Kricky –
Arrived very quickly and customer service was great to work with! My only suggestion would be that it would come with much clearer instructions on how to properly use it (ex: what part of lens to use- instructions were unclear about this). But once I found a video on how to properly use it it is very easy to use and much more convenient than urine ovulation tests. Would recommend.

Sarah –
I have been trying the ovulation microscope for about a month and half. Seems it is not working for me. I am pretty sure I have ovulated but have not seen any ferning at all. Maybe I am doing it wrong…however, if that is the case then this product is too difficult to use.

Audrey –
Love having another way to verify fertility every month. At first, we had trouble figuring out how to open the microscope to put the saliva on it, but once that was cleared up, we haven’t had any other issues.

I found the fertile focus so easy to use and easy to read. I had been trying to conceive for 7 months on my own and using ovulation pee sticks I was unsuccessful in conceiving. After 1 month of using fertile focus I am pregnant.

4 out of 5 Cool!
Rachel –
Still need some practice I think. I have seen ferning but it doesn’t always read the same even if I do several consecutive tests… it seems like the amount of saliva might make a difference. definitely need to let it dry before viewing 🙂 Keep it by my bed and test right after taking my temp every morning. So easy and convenient to use. It is really cool to see the transition and ferning

I never noticed anything even showing up on the lens, no dots, no ferning. I wish i could return it for regual r test strips.

Susan –
Love this! Easy to use and better than ovulation test strips! Takes a little bit to get your eyes adjusted to view, but once you get the hang of it, it will be quick and easy! I think it is so interesting to see how day to day you transition into your ovulation period! The first time I saw crystals I couldn’t believe it! Totally recommend this product!
