Know your body
The newest OvaCue Fertility Monitor represents a major advance for women looking to identify their complete fertile window. OvaCue works by measuring your electrolyte levels which change in concert with your ovulatory cycle. Now, with one simple handheld device, you can accurately measure your unique hormonal changes and visually track your cycle with an interactive calendar.
Safe & reliable
Zetek has been manufacturing and selling FDA approved fertility monitors for over 20 years. We have helped thousands of couples conceive. We provide personalized customer support—if needed, we'll track your cycles with you.
Easy to use
OvaCue calendar displaySimply place a spoon-sized sensor on your tongue for five seconds each morning and the OvaCue will automatically record your fertility for the day. The OvaCue tracks the readings in memory and indicates your most fertile days graphically on a calendar.
Accurate
Zetek’s Electrolyte Method™ has been proven to be 98.3% accurate at monitoring ovulation in numerous studies, including those sponsored by the National Institutes of Health and published in peer-reviewed journal articles.
Convenient
The OvaCue requires no urine sampling and can be used for many years with no additional purchases required. The OvaCue comes complete with the base unit, sealed oral sensor, carrying case, owner’s manual, battery and a free pregnancy test.
Sperm must be waiting when the egg is released, as intercourse timed in advance of ovulation is the only way you can conceive a baby. However, advance notice is only half of what you need to plan intercourse. Since the window for successful fertilization can be as short as a day or less, you also need accurate prediction as the time of ovulation draws close. Some fertility monitors give lengthy notice, but also give “false positives” eight or more days in advance and may continue giving false positives even after ovulation has occurred.
Which fertility monitor best identifies your days of peak fertility?

Since you cannot conceive after you have ovulated, successfully timing conception depends on the accuracy of your fertility monitor. Only the OvaCue Fertility Monitor gives you sufficient notice and marks your complete fertile window (with use of the optional vaginal sensor) with virtually no false positive readings—98.3% accurate in NIH-supported testing.
Using the OvaCue
Using the OvaCue is simple. Starting on day two of your cycle, just put the spoon-sized sensor on your tongue for three seconds first thing each morning. The OvaCue takes your electrolyte reading and automatically computes:
* Your current cycle day
* Fertility status for today (darker colors equal higher fertility)
* Peak fertility days (your best chance to conceive)
* When ovulation occurred (with optional vaginal sensor)
* Start and end of fertile window (when you can conceive)
The OvaCue tracks your readings in memory and indicates your most fertile period, beginning five to seven days before ovulation until ovulation occurs.
Interpreting the your personal Ovulation Calendar
OvaCue’s reliability takes the guesswork and the stress out of identifying your most fertile time. You can plan your activities well in advance for the best chance of conception.
The OvaCue tracks your hormonal changes and maintains a record for four months running. You can review your readings or add new readings with a simple touch of a button. You can also download the information to a Windows computer and use the OvaGraph software to track your cycles over your entire fertile lifetime.
If you want to confirm the time of your ovulation every month and mark the end of your fertile window, you will want to use the optional vaginal sensor.
Couples who are ready to be pregnant should plan for intercourse the day OvaCue defines as your most fertile day. Remember, you must have intercourse before ovulation to conceive. If your menstrual period does not begin within two or three weeks, a pregnancy test may be in order.
