Article Synopsis
- - Both oestrogen and progesterone play a role in delaying the onset of the fertile window during the first week of the menstrual cycle by affecting cervical mucus secretion.
- - In an observational study of 88 women, findings showed that low oestrogen and high progesterone levels negatively influenced mucus secretion, thereby delaying fertility signs.
- - The study highlighted that increased oestrogen concentrations significantly raised the chances of entering the fertile window, while higher levels of progesterone were associated with decreased fertility odds.
Objective: To study whether the menstrual cycle has a circaseptan (7 days) rhythm and whether it is associated with the lunar cycle (also defined as the synodic month, it is the cycle of the phases of the Moon as seen from Earth, averaging 29.5 days in length).
Design: Cross-sectional study.
: The Marquette Method (MM) has been used for many years to track the postpartum return of fertility using the ClearBlue Fertility Monitor (CBFM). A new quantitative urine hormone monitor (the Mira Analyzer) was compared to the CBFM in one previous study, and using this pilot data, several women have started to use the Mira Analyzer in the postpartum transition to fertility. : This study was a retrospective, observational case series that analyzed hormone data on the Mira Analyzer during the postpartum period.
