Distinct means have been developed to answer an increasing demand and need for methods that can accurately predict and detect the fertile phase of the menstrual cycle and fit various indications and changing situations of women's reproductive life. Methods based on the detection of direct fertility markers, such as hormonal tests and ultrasound, are more objective and accurate than traditional markers based on indirect markers, but cost and dependence on supplies limit their application. Nevertheless, these methods could be used during a few cycles either as support in the teaching phase or in difficult cases and for specific indications. Likewise, some new devices designed to facilitate recording and calculation of fertility signals could be combined with clinical methods to improve prediction and detection of the fertile phase. Besides the search for new fertility markers and the development of new methods, the possibility of combining already existing methods would certainly improve use-effectiveness and acceptance.
已经开发出了不同的方法来满足对能够准确预测和检测月经周期排卵期的方法日益增长的需求，以适应女性生殖生活的各种适应症和不断变化的情况。基于直接生育标志物检测的方法，如激素检测和超声检查，比基于间接标志物的传统标志物更客观、准确，但成本和对耗材的依赖限制了它们的应用。然而，这些方法可以在几个周期内使用，要么作为教学阶段的辅助手段，要么用于困难病例和特定适应症。同样，一些旨在便于记录和计算生育信号的新设备可以与临床方法相结合，以改善排卵期的预测和检测。除了寻找新的生育标志物和开发新方法外，将现有方法结合起来的可能性肯定会提高使用效果和接受度。
