Question
What do you think about the Brown Monitor? It has been proved in many investigations. Is it useful to predict fertility and infertility, together with natural methods in order to be sure? I thought about this because sometimes it is difficult to register exactly the characteristics of the mucus every day.
Thanks
Maria
Answer
Dear Maria,
Thank you for visiting our web site, and contacting us.
The Brown Fertility Monitor is a very good tool in identifying infertile and fertile days in your cycle and uses urine to test the hormone levels. If you are having difficulty in assessing the mucus I would recommend you learn a "mucus only" method which would provide you with the additional information you are seeking. You could use the monitor along with a "mucus only" method or not.
The beginning of this natural mucus discharge can vary in each cycle and will gradually change over the next few days in response to the estrogen development. A "mucus only" method uses standard vocabulary to identify these changes. It is not difficult to learn but is best learned from a trained teacher. Check our web site for a teacher in your area.
