As of today, we have 23 participants who have enrolled and are keeping fertility charts.
5 of our participants have become pregnant while using the Peak Day method for tracking their fertility! We don't promise this as a benefit of the study, but learning about how your fertility changes during your cycle can only help if you are trying to get pregnant.
Dr. Porucznik, the principal investigator, wasn't an official participant, but she did use the charts until she got pregnant. We expect the first Peak Day baby to be born in the next few weeks!
About Peak Day
- Identifying your Peak Day of Fertility
- Your chances of getting pregnant are not the same every day. Each woman has about six days each cycle when pregnancy is possible. Some changes in your body that you can see and feel can help you identify and predict the days when you are more likely to get pregnant. The purpose of the PEAK DAY study is to evaluate how well women can learn to identify their PEAK DAY of fertility by reading and following the instructions in a simple educational brochure. The information posted on this site is consistent with the research reviewed and approved by the University of Utah Institutional Review Board (IRB). However, the IRB has not reviewed all material posted on this site. Contact the IRB if you have questions regarding your rights as a research participant. Also contact the IRB if you have questions, complaint, or concerns which you do not feel you can discuss with the investigator. The University of Utah IRB may be reached by phone at (801) 581-3655 or by e-mail at irb@hsc.utah.edu.
