摘要:
This invention relates to methods to predict and monitor ovulation and fertility in female mammals by measuring the level of free salivary estradiol. Such information may be used to identify the appropriate timing for egg retrieval prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF), insemination procedures, natural or otherwise, and the timing for transfer of embryos. The ability to monitor salivary estradiol levels throughout the estrous cycle, with the optional application of an algorithm, will aid in identifying the peak time of fertility.
