The statistical processing of results showed that the saliva
crystallization test was as valid and sensitive as the FERN test,
while correlative values of both tests in relation to ultrasound
folliculometry were high. :
Thus, a new method and a new product have been developed that, with
the assistance of instructions , may be used by every woman. In this
way, women do not have any more the obligation to attend a health
institution every day for the purpose of determination of fertile days;
it is a well known fact that such visits are very often unpleasant for
them, stress-prone and connected with the loss of time and absence
from work. Such every day emotional problems may cause infertility
bearing upon the frequency of sexual intercourses and ovulation. :
In order to investigate to what extent this new product can contribute
to the improvement of results in the sterility treatment, a team of
eminent experts dealing with the problem of sterility, headed by
Assistant Professor Ratomir Ganovic, MD., PhD., has examined 50 women
who used only mini microscope “MAYBE BABY” for detrmination of fertile
days. :
The examination was carried out from 1 October 1994 to 1 August 1995. :
The youngest woman covered by this investigation was 21 years of age
while the oldest one was 43. The majority of women was between 30 and
35 years of age. :
The average duration of marriage amounted to 4 years. :
The majority of women (18) that used mini microscope “MAYBE BABY” had
higher education, but a considerable number (10) had completed only
8-year elementary school. :
In the greatest number of woman (31) secondary sterility was in question. :
The first step was to examine husbands and the majority of them had
normal spermogram (33) while 10 of them had reduced fecundity. Seven
men refused to be examined. :
The examined women mainly had regular menstrual cycles.
Hysterosalpingography was first performed in all women confirming that
they all had unobstracted tubes. In 5 women with the sterility of
several years this finding was also reconfirmed by laparoscopy. :
Thirty-two of these women had previously visited a gynaecologist
several times to determine fertile days. The ovulation was established
most frequently by ultrasound but other methods were also used
(measurement of basal temperature, analyses of hormones, etc.). The
remaining 18 women did not have their ovulation established but
planned their sexual intercourses in the middle of the cycle. :
After the examinations had been completed, women were advised to use
mini microscope “MAYBE BABY” , the product of the firm OPTIX -
Belgrade, in the next 6 months for determination of the approximate
date of ovulation and to plan sexual intercourses with their husbands
during fertile days. Three or four days of abstinence was recomended
beforehand. :
They used mini microscope “MAYBE BABY” according to the instruction
they received , with ease and without problems. :
Ten of them required additional information. :
Out of 50 examined women, 16 of them became pregnant thanks to
determination of fertile days using mini microscope “MAYBE BABY”; they
accounted for 32%. :
Nine women dropped out of records because they stopped coming. It was
considered that they did not become pregnant. However, it may be
presumed from experience that some of these 9 women became pregnant
but, as they achieved their objective, i.e. wanted pregnancy, they
interrupted contacts. :
It is generally known that women who were treated for sterility very
often, after having cured it, choose another doctor to follow-up their
pregnancy and delivery. :
Out of 16 pregnancies, 5 were completed by delivery of healthy children
while one woman, K.S., living at the outskirts of the town of
Pozarevac, gave birth to twins, two sweet girls. :
Two
pregnancies ended in spontaneous miscarriages in the second and third
months respectively, while the pregnancy of 9 women had normal course. :
It is particularly interesting to note that pregnancy of L.D. from
Belgrade occured after 15 years of marriage and sterility treatment; of
B.M. from Indjija after the operation performed and of K.M. from
Belgrade when she was 43 and with the history of 9 years of sterility
treatment. :
