FAQ

If used according to instructions for use, Maybe Baby ™ is a very reliable and effective method for determining the day of ovulation (the reliability of 96-98%). A similar technique is also used in medical laboratories.

In the morning or during the day, at least 3 hours after brushing your teeth, having food and beverages, or smoking.

Absolutely not. Maybe Baby™ is completely natural method. It uses no chemicals and does not affect organism in any way.

Of course. The menstrual cycle is usually 28 days, but can last 19 to 45 days and much more. Maybe Baby™ helps you pinpoint the day of ovulation, even when it happens twice in one cycle.

The image can vary from dotted to fern structure, because the hormonal state of the organism also varies, depending on the type and intensity of infection.

Incorrect! Normal menstrual cycle 19 to 45 days or longer, and besides, the day of ovulation may fluctuate +/- 2 to 3 days in relation to the middle of the cycle. Cycle length of 28 days and ovulation on the 14th day are just a statistical data.

If woman knows the day of ovulation, she can significantly increase the chance of conceiving a child of the desired sex. Boy, if the sexual intercourse is on the day of ovulation, or girl if the intercourse is 2-4 days before ovulation. Difference is the spermatozoa carrying the female gene swims slower and keeps vitality longer, while a spermatozoa carrying the male gene swims faster, but has shorter lifespan.

The method is good, this might happen with cycles without ovulation – anovulatory cycles. Maybe Baby™ shows that there is no ovulation, for a reason/s you should  see a doctor.

Maybe Baby™ is unable to determine pregnancy, nor is it intended to. In the vast majority of cases in pregnant women there is a negative image- the structure without the ferns (over 96%). This low percentage of false positive images (with fern structures) has still not been adequately explained, but it is assumed that during pregnancy there is a variety of changes in hormonal levels, which according to some surveys indicate the proximity of the date of delivery.

In those case the image is almost always negative (less than 1% of cases show ferns)

For women in menopause there is generally negative image shown (dotted structure), in a small percentage it is mildly positive (occasional sprig of fern on dotted background), but never positive (ferns all over the surface of the image).

Generally, there is a negative image (over 99%), however, it can occur under certain conditions a slight positivity to be seen (occurrence of the fern leaves) due to negative impacts such as the recent use of alcohol, tobacco, foods and beverages, or an infection of the oral cavity.

This can happen and there are three key reasons that lead to this phenomenon:

• The users did not wait long enough for the saliva to dry completely, or to complete the crystallization of sodium chloride (salt) from saliva, or form an image.
• The user waited for recommended time to pass, but too much saliva was applied which than did not have enough time to crystallize so dotted pattern is shown, or perhaps the eyepiece was left to air dry on bent surface so the saliva slipped outside the field of view (3-5mm) leaving traces of impurities to be seen as dots.
• The user used too much pressure while applying the saliva sample, where the most of saliva was squeezed outside field of view (3-5mm), leaving impurities to be seen instead of the real sample.

Brushing teeth immediately prior to the test is not recommended because it can rapidly change the pH value of the saliva in the mouth which in some cases (depending on the type of used paste) can lead to false results.

Sample plate should not be cleaned with any type of cleaning products, solutions or even with running water, in order not to potentially damage the optics. Cleaning with a regular clean cloth or tissue is all it takes. Upper part of the eyepiece requires no cleaning or maintaining at all.
