Peak Day Study Update

Since recruitment began, 46 women have enrolled in the Peak Day study. Of those, 97% have correctly estimated their EDO at least once with the average number of cycles before identifying their EDO being 1.23 (range 1-2). The majority of women (65.4%) solely used cervical fluid observations to identify their EDO and 100% of the participants, who charted, consistently answered the 1-page monthly exposure questionnaire located on the back of their charts. Of the 25 women who enrolled seeking to become pregnant, nearly half of them (n=12)have become pregnant using the Peak Day method of monitoring their cervical fluid.

Recently, all study materials have been translated into Spanish so that we can include women for whom Spanish is their primary language. Additionally, in order to validate the Peak Day method, we are distributing fertility monitors that test urine hormone levels to newly enrolled participants.

We hope to enroll 120 women in this pilot study, including 20 for whom Spanish is their primary language. If you know of any woman between the ages of 18-44 who is not using hormonal contraception and is not currently pregnant or breastfeeding please refer them to our study.
