Ovulation Test Kits - Comparing Apples to Apples

Making a market comparison between products is important to ensure you are making the best choice for in-home ovulation prediction. There are many saliva fertility testers on the market, but few offer women the essential components necessary to assist them with identifying fertility easily and effectively. The first problem with them is their magnification - most only offer between 33X and 55X - not sufficient to get clear results. The Ovu-Trac® offers quality optics with 100X magnification - almost double what other products offer. Some saliva testers are simply magnifying lenses with no internal light source and are very difficult to use and interpret. Another common problem is the lack of educational literature and customer support services offered with these products. What happens if you need to ask a question that is not answered in the kit? Over the years OvumOptics has received many calls and emails from women who have purchased competing products in the hopes that we could answer their questions. In some instances we could, but most often these products were of such poor quality and design we could not assist them. The Ovu-Trac® offers women excellent literature and individualized customer support - just check out our testimonials page.

Many saliva testers being sold today do not meet the stringent medical device regulations put into place by both Health Canada and the FDA to protect consumers. When you are considering making a purchase, ask for the product or manufacturer’s medical device or establishment license. If they cannot produce it, then buyer beware…
