A method of monitoring the status of a current ovulation cycle of an individual female mammalian (generally human) subject, involving repeated testing of the body fluid concentration of at least one analyte, preferably estrone-3-glucuronide (E3G) of significance in relation to the status of the ovulation cycle, during at lest the pre-ovulation phase of the current ovulation cycle of the individual subject, wherein testing for said analyte concentration during the current ovulation cycle conducted at least once during the interval spanning days 1 to 7 inclusive following the onset of menses, to establish a reference concentration value for analyte in the current cycle, and then testing is conducted repeatedly during a plurality of days, preferably commencing at least 5 numerical days in advance of the mean numerical day on which actual ovulation has occurred over one or more previous ovulation cycles in the same individual subject, analyte concentration values obtained during said repeated testing being compared with the reference concentration value to determine whether a concentration change indicative of imminent ovulation is occurring or has occurred since the previous test. The method can be based solely on E3G measurements.
