Mini microscopes

Mini microscopes

Just wondering if anyone is using one of these, I recently purchased one online & have been doing the test the way they say, but I think I may be doing it wrong, I don't see any of the three phases they show in their instructions!
Will keep testing I guess & see if something starts to show.

I assume you refer to the saliva microscope? It was quite distinct once I saw it, however I did note a couple of things.

One... you have to get the amount of saliva right.. if you lick too hard you might only end up with thin streaks, but if you get a blob... it doesn't dry out properly.

Two... make sure you do let it dry properly... I used to leave the plate exposed to the air for almost half an hour....

for the record: When I tested it against my OPK.. it was pretty accurate!

Good Luck!

I'd add to that.  Make sure you drink plenty the night before (but nothing for a few hours before, at least).  You want the saliva to be quite liquid.  

Experiment with how much saliva.  

I think it is quite accurate too, for me.
