Product Description
This is a high-quality saliva-based fertility test (or personal ovulation microscope) that allows you to predict ovulation with accuracy. The perfect helper for trying-to-conceive couples, Fertile-Focus is a reusable ovulation predictor test, meaning you receive unlimited tests in one high-quality, low-cost personal ovulation microscope.
The microscope works by allowing you to see the changes in the make up of your saliva just prior to ovulation. The "ferning pattern" indicating a positive result will begin to appear about three days before ovulation, whether your cycle is regular or irregular. Fertile-Focus allows you to predict ovulation with 98% accuracy, helping trying-to-conceive couples "focus on fertility" and increase the chance of pregnancy.

The Julia Saliva Microscope is a pink, lipstick shaped microscope designed to tell you when you are ovulating simply by placing some saliva into the eyepiece and observing it at magnification when it dries for ferning, indicating ovulation. The reality is of course not that easy.
The eyepiece is tiny, you have to unscrew it and 'place' your saliva in the tiny hole. How you are supposed to put saliva in the hole without flooding it is beyond me, then you are supposed to wait for it to dry - 5 to 10 minutes apparently. After half an hour I gave up, I don't know whether I have particularly wet saliva or it's just because I put too much in, but either way it wouldn't dry.
Then you have to put it back on and adjust the focus while pressing the little light at the bottom to observe the ferning. the focus is the eyepiece apparently, which you just screwed back on, so it seems to involve unscrewing it which makes little difference. The light is far too bright, so you have to observe the saliva around the edges where the light isn't too bright. Then you have to clean it, you are supplied with a large lens cleaning cloth, the hole of course is tiny, how on earth that works I don't know! Also the instructions are (badly) translated from some foreign country as it "...easily help your face the contraception or impregnation easily. Drop your sailva only!" Ha!
It's not very well made really, for the price, for less I have better made lipsticks! And the lenses are so hard to keep clean, you will always see bits in it when you look through the eyepice, very frustrating. But I suppose it would be clear when your saliva is ferning, although I haven't got that far yet!

I have one of these and I have found it to be quite a useful tool when trying to pinpoint ovulation.
A few bad points - the instructions are terrible! It took me while to get used to it by playing around with it a bit, but now it just another part of my morning routine. The saliva takes a long time to dry on the lens - I just put my saliva on it inthe morning and then read it later on in the day when it's had time to dry - problem solved!
It can be hard to interprate the ferning on the microscope - when I first started using it I would think it was ferning, but i didn't ovulate - now that I have seen what it looks like when I have ovulated I can see the difference very easily, but it can be a bit tricky for the first few cycles!
For those who have one and can't figure out the instructions - here is how it works:
Remove the lid and then remove the black top lens section.
Turn the lens section upside down and drop a small amount of saliva on to the flat lens.
Leave until dry.
Replace lens section.
Whilst looking through the lens push the bottom of the microscope to get the light on.
Focus by twisting the black lens section until it is focus.
If your saliva looks like lots of blobs - not fertile, if your saliva looks like ferns (like a straight or slightly curved line with little lines coming off it)then you are fertile.
Hope this helps anyone who is struggling!

I buy this ovulation microscope, but I can't use it
Follow the instructions but the tiny microscope makes it impossible to see the saliva analysis.
Don't recommend it.

Poor
I was so disappointed when I tried to use this product. It was simple to use, however it was impossible to read a result, it felt cheap and badly made and was tricky to keep clean. Read more

Ovulation microscope review
Quite small and fiddly. Difficult to get a clear view of sample as there appear to be scratch marks on the lens. Read more
