The ScienceBehind KNOWHEN® Proven Saliva-based Technology
KNOWHEN® Advanced Saliva Ovulation Test Kit with Fertility Monitor App Identifies five (5) most fertile days with 98.9% accuracy proven by U.S. Clinical Studies. Millions of women have infertility issues mostly caused by ovulation problems and millions more of childbearing age need to know when they ovulate.
Saliva Ferns the Same Way as
Cervical Mucus Indicating Ovulation
Nature cleverly preserves in a Woman’s SALIVA the answer to very important questions: “Am I ovulating?” and “When is the best time for me to conceive?”
Checking saliva daily will unlock the secret of a woman’s unique ovulation cycle and answer the most important question…”Could I get pregnant today?“
Researchers have studied the phenomenon of ferning in cervical fluid since 1945, when Papanicolau observed mi- croscopic crystal formations in cervical fluid (mucus).
In 1969, Dr. Biel Cassals, a Spanish gynecologist, studied the crystallization of saliva. His presentation to the Barcelona Medical Board proved a relationship between hormonal changes during the female menstrual cycle and the crystallization of saliva, indicating ferning saliva is virtually identical in appearance to the arborization effect of cervical fluid.
The hormone estrogen links saliva patterns to a woman’s fertility. As ovulation nears, estrogen increases and causes the body’s sodium levels to rise increasing the salinity of a woman’s saliva. Near ovulation the higher salt content causes the dried saliva to form crystallization patterns as seen under microscope. Both saliva and cervical mucus have shown these patterns.

Every woman needs to know her

Saliva Ferning Gives a Greater Planning “Window” to Get Pregnant — 5 Fertile Days
Saliva testing measures a far more gradual increase of estrogen that occurs prior to or during ovulation, and thus gives the user a greater planning “window.”
The KNOWHEN® Advanced Saliva Ovulation Test is a saliva-based method proven to determine a woman’s five (5) most fertile days during her ovulation cycle — more days than any other ovulation test. In addition, fertility drugs and medications influence the LH levels in urine tests and thus can invalid date urine ovulation test results. KNOWHEN® is chemical-free and not affected by fertility drugs and medication.
How it Works
- Daily place drop of saliva on mini-ovulationTM microscope lens in the morning before brushing teeth or drinking any liquids.
- Let saliva dry in minutes.
- Check the lens for crystallization patterns. On the most fer- tile days, a distinct “ferning” pattern appears. This method of testing is completely natural as well as simple to use, unlike messy urine sticks.
- Reusable daily for years to track a woman’s unique cycle.
Our Happy Mothers
The KNOWHEN saliva test has been a fantastic addition in our quest for pregnancy. It is so empowering to have a visual component to see your own hormone changes and predict fertility. It is so much cleaner to use and less wasteful than the plastic monitors and plastic urine sticks.
This product empowers women to have reliable information regarding their fertility. Knowledge is power and this gives reliable information to all who use it. I give it to my family and friends who want to know when they are fertile to conceive and those who want a non-invasive and drug-free form of birth control.
Excellent product! I am using it along with the Billings ovulation method and it is just a perfect combination for me since the Billings method tells me my fertile days and this one not only knows when I am fertile but also when I am ovulating!
