Would you use a Ferning Test setting on Glow?

Question

I track saliva samples with a Fertile-Focus and I'm wondering how many of you also do (would also apply to CM ferning samples I think, but I don't know much about that). I've discovered Glow doesn't keep old notes so I just lost a load of data and this would help mitigate that. Thanks!

Answer

That's a lot of unsure votes. lol Might help if people knew what ferning is. Ferning is when you take a saliva or cm sample (saliva-only for the Fertile-Focus ovulation microscope) and put the sample on the lens. You wait at least five minutes til it dries, then you look through the lens to see if you see a ferning pattern (it'll resemble the fern plant). If you see just dots, you're not fertile in your cycle yet. When you see dots and lines, you're transitioning. When you see a crapload of lines all over, you're fertile. After that, you just wipe off the lens with a soft non-abrasive cloth dampened with water (you really don't want to scratch the glass; and don't use soap or any cleaners...just water). It's really compact too. You can throw it in your purse and people will think it's just a lipstick. Hope this helps those of you that aren't sure about what ferning is. And hopefully Glow will see these posts and finally add the option to log ferning results. It's getting annoying having to switch apps all the time to log different things when really they should be here all in one convenient place. :-/
