Many couples planning a pregnancy have had to gauge the best time for sexual intercourse from subjective indications, e.g. cervical mucus changes, or retrospective information, e.g. temperature and calendar methods. Between women, and within a woman, there are considerable variations in menstrual cycle length and underlying hormonal patterns. Although fertility test kits are available, most still rely on visual interpretation by the user. A new combination of immunochemical testing and computing technology is now available in the ClearPlan Easy Fertility Monitor. This paper describes the features of this accurate, simple-to-use, home-based fertility monitor, which gathers data on hormonal patterns and takes account of the individuality of menstrual cycles in women. These data and information about other events, such as sexual intercourse, can be stored in the monitor and accessed by the couple and their medical professional for retrospective review. The monitor is useful for couples who have just started trying to conceive, or those who have been planning a pregnancy for some time.
许多计划怀孕的夫妇不得不根据主观迹象，如宫颈黏液变化，或回顾性信息，如体温和日历法，来判断性交的最佳时间。女性之间以及同一女性的月经周期长度和潜在激素模式存在很大差异。尽管有生育测试试剂盒，但大多数仍依赖用户的视觉解读。ClearPlan Easy Fertility Monitor现在提供了一种免疫化学检测与计算技术的新组合。本文介绍了这种准确、易用的家用生育监测仪的特点，它收集激素模式数据，并考虑到女性月经周期的个体差异。这些数据以及关于其他事件（如性交）的信息可以存储在监测仪中，供夫妇及其医疗专业人员进行回顾性查阅。该监测仪对刚开始尝试受孕的夫妇或已经计划怀孕一段时间的夫妇很有用。
