• The myLotus Fertility Monitor is a small hand-held dual purpose Monitor that allows testing for the timing of ovulation (LH test) and pregnancy (hCG test).
• The myLotus Fertility Monitor detects when you are about to ovulate by displaying a “+” sign. It does so when it sees a ‘surge’ in Luteinising Hormone (LH), a key fertility hormone which is present in your body. It also provides your base level of LH before the surge. If you have difficulty conceiving it will be useful for your doctor to know whether your LH base level is low, high or normal.
• The myLotus Fertility Monitor provides a numerical result of LH expressed as milli-international units per millilitre (mIU/mL). This is a personalised result of your LH level. Some women will have a high LH base line and could observe a “+” result from their first day of testing, e.g. women suffering from PCOS. By testing over a period of days the user can see their profile and their most fertile days. Keeping track of your results will allow you to see when you surge and this can be graphically represented in your app. Some women will have a low LH base line and their surge may not reach what is considered an average LH surge level. A wide variety of causes are linked to suppressed LH levels including wellbeing, stress, sleep deprivation, anti-depressants and a range of medicines and conditions that increase the level of a different hormone: prolactin. It is an excess of this hormone that suppresses the production of LH. These women could also benefit from recording their results and from seeing their personal surge on the graph.
• The myLotus Fertility Monitor also allows testing for pregnancy. A number of days after the LH surge is detected the device will request an hCG test. If no pregnancy is detected the device will request another hCG test 2 days later.

All women are different and if you are in the group with a very low or high LH baseline you can now detect your personal LH surge with myLotus.

Apart from detecting your surge myLotus also allows you to continue testing for LH. This provides a complete surge pattern that may also be useful for your doctor, as many women have more than one surge. Some women can have a plateau of high LH for a few days after their surge, others have a sharp single peak. These patterns provide medical professionals with information about your egg producing follicles and your probability of conception. myLotus is currently unique in its ability to monitor this at home.

The myLotus Fertility Monitor allows multiple tests per day, due to an automatic (barcode) recognition of the test inserted. You may want to take more than one LH test per day (for example morning and afternoon) to ensure you detect your most fertile period. Research shows that most surges are seen with mid-morning testing but the surge can happen at different times. When it does happen it can be very rapid so an additional test in the afternoon may help provide a more accurate assessment of your ovulation timing.

Feedback from clinical trials has shown that the myLotus Fertility Monitor is accurate, easy to use and provides a unique home based insight to your fertility window. Watch our product demo.

• Women trying to conceive who cannot readily identify their fertile days with traditional ovulation tests.
• Women who have been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. To find out if the cause of their problem conceiving could be due to their LH base line being above or below the normal range.
• Women with irregular cycles, those with no periods or those with great irregularity as well as women who suffer from PCOS.
• Women who want to understand more about their hormonal patterns, timings and menstrual cycle.

The myLotus Ovulation Test measures the concentration levels of the Luteinising Hormone (LH) in your urine. It is used with the myLotus Fertility Monitor to show your LH surge. The LH surge occurs approximately 24-48 hours prior to ovulation. The day the LH surge is detected and the day after are your two most fertile days in your menstrual cycle. Knowing the exact timing of this ‘fertility window’ will help improve your chances of conception.

• myLotus provides a “+” and “–“ result as well as telling you how much LH is in your urine. You can read your full results after 10 minutes.
• The tests are individually wrapped in a protective aluminium foil.
• Plastic cups and pipettes are provided for each test to collect your urine. This allows controlled and precise sampling. Currently most women are used to a midstream urine test format, myLotus takes away the common concern of whether too much or too little urine is applied.
• The myLotus Fertility Monitor will ask for a maximum of 20 tests each cycle if your LH surge has not been detected. This might be useful if you have irregular cycles and/or great variations in cycle length.
• The myLotus Ovulation Tests are over 99% accurate based on laboratory tests showing a positive result at 40 mIU/mL.

The myLotus Pregnancy Test measures the presence of the pregnancy hormone human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) in your urine, the hormone that indicates whether you are pregnant. The myLotus Fertility Monitor will request a pregnancy test, a number of days after your LH surge has been detected, to see if you are pregnant.

• The myLotus Monitor will show an easy-to-read result after 10 minutes on the display screen. If the Monitor shows a “+” symbol, this indicates the pregnancy hormone hCG has been detected in your urine and that you are pregnant. If the Monitor shows a “-“ symbol, this indicates there has been no detectable level of hCG in your urine. It is possible that you may be pregnant, but the level of the hormone is too low to be detected. The Monitor will ask you to test again in 2 days.
• The myLotus Pregnancy Tests come in a pack of 3 tests, they are individually wrapped in a protective aluminium foil. Plastic cups and pipettes are provided for each test to collect and test your urine. They provide a precise and controlled sampling.
• The myLotus Pregnancy Test is over 99% accurate in laboratory testing in detecting pregnancy from the day the period is due.
