“…Moreover, it has been shown that indicators of fertility such as selfobserved cervical mucus and urinary E1-3-G and LH levels with a fertility monitor enable women and their clinicians to time hormonally sensitive clinical tests and treatments in relation to phases of the menstrual cycle (33,36). Our results also emphasize the utility of peak mucus in identifying ovulation, which confirms previous findings (34). The identified days are particularly appropriate for timing tests and procedures close to ovulation.…”

“…The increase of the probability of conception during the 3 or 4 days before ovulation might be at least partly explained by the quality of mucus (9-11, 30, 31), limiting the evidence in favor of a decreased probability of conception by older spermatozoa. It could be important to give more consideration to the quality of mucus observed by the woman in the context of an infertility diagnosis (32) and treatment (33,34), whatever the physiologic interpretation of these observations. The feasibility of learning the mucus sign accurately has been recently confirmed (35): 92% of women identified presumed ovulation within AE3 days using the clinical observation of cervical mucus.…”

“…15 The peak day of estrogenic cervical mucus discharge (i.e., the last day of any mucus that is clear, stretchy, or lubricative) is a fairly accurate indicator of the day of ovulation with an accuracy of 2-3 days. 16,17 In validation studies with the CrMS specifically, ovulation as assessed by hormonal measures occurred between 2 days before and 1 day after peak day in 89.2% of cycles and between 3 days before and 3 days after peak day in 100% of cycles. …”

“…In others studies, the changes in the pattern throughout the cycle, both in quantity and type of cervical mucus, have been identified by observing the discharge of this mucus in the vagina (43,48,68). Estrogen-type mucus can be used not only as a marker of fertile days, but also to predict non-fertile secretion based on the absence of sufficient levels of estrogen-type mucus (69). There are various classifications of cervical mucus at the vulva.…”

resumen El objetivo de este artículo es revisar los principales conceptos en la literatura acerca de la ventana de la fertilidad en pacientes con ciclos menstruales normales. Los conceptos básicos de la ovulación han sido revisados. El énfasis principal del artículo se ha dirigido al análisis de la teoría de Brown de la ovulación, revisar los conceptos básicos de la secreción y metabolismo de la hormona folículo estimulante, y al estudio clínico, ecográfico y bioquímicos del desarrollo folicular la ventana de la fertilidad. Este artículo también repasa los biomarcadores clínicos y los diferentes metabolitos endocrinos que han sido probados en la fase fértil del ciclo. Se revisan diferentes estudios en los cuales las valoraciones en suero y orina de los esteroides sexuales han corroborado tener una correlación directa para enmarcar el período fértil. Actualmente tienen relevancia estos conocimientos en diferentes grupos de interés, sobre todo en parejas con un alto nivel de motivación en el reconocimiento de la fertilidad, y que pueden beneficiarse mediante la aplicación de los conocimientos técnicos actuales en la detección de la ventana de la fertilidad. Otro tipo de parejas suelen ser aquellas que pertene- cen a programas de regulación de la fertilidad (PRF) con intención de distanciar un embarazo, así como también de reconocer la época más fértil del ciclo para conseguir un embarazo. Otros interesados suelen ser personas que no tienen experiencia en cursos de PRF, pero desean mejorar su conocimiento en el reconocimiento de la fertilidad por medio de una breve entrevista, o parejas que buscan opciones de un embarazo mediante programas de NaProTecnología o que han realizado cursos de orientación familiar.
