Provided is a highly reliable method to predict the beginning and/or ending of the fertile period for a female for each menstrual cycle. The methods and means provided advantageously address the day-to-day, cycle-to-cycle, and women-to-women variability in fertility hormone levels by analyzing the measurements of serial hormone concentrations in the midst of daily hormonal variations to determine when an actual and significant increase in the concentration of the monitored hormone has begun. Thus the present disclosure is directed to a method that combines existing hormone assay methods with calculation procedures to optimize the predictive values of daily hormonal changes. In this way a reliable and useful prediction of the fertile period is achieved with the concomitant assurance that the beginning and/or end of the fertile period has been reached so that such declarations are sufficient to provide both fertility enhancement and contraceptive utility.

L'invention se rapporte à un procédé extrêmement fiable consistant à prévoir le début et/ou la fin de la période féconde d'une femme pour chaque cycle menstruel. Ces procédés et ces moyens facilitent l'étude de la variabilité, d'un jour à l'autre, d'un cycle à l'autre, et d'une femme à l'autre, des taux d'hormones de fécondité par l'analyse des mesures de concentrations d'hormones successives au cours des variations hormonales quotidiennes afin de déterminer à quel moment une augmentation réelle et importante de la concentration de l'hormone surveillée a commencé. Par conséquent, la présente invention concerne un procédé qui combine des méthodes de dosage d'hormones existantes avec des procédures de calcul afin d'optimiser les valeurs prédictives des modifications hormonales quotidiennes. On parvient, de cette façon, à obtenir une prévision fiable et utile de la période de fécondité, et on a l'assurance que le début et/ou la fin de la période de fécondité ont été atteints de sorte que, par ces conclusions satisfaisantes, on est à la fois assuré d'une stimulation de la fécondité et convaincu de l'utilité des méthodes contraceptives.
