Why does OV-Watch switch to fertile day 1 when I am not wearing it?
Throughout your cycle, there are several surges of chloride ions. Refer to the Quick Start Guide to see the surge graph. The surge
in chloride Ions that OV-Watch is looking for, comes about 6 days before ovulation. Once it detects the surge, it holds that data
and processes it with the baseline levels that it has already stored in memory. Then, when the user is 4 days from ovulation, it
reads fertile day 1. Since the data is compiled at midnight, that is when it will turn to fertile day 1. When you see that reading,
the surge was actually detected days before. Once OV-Watch detects the chloride surge that it is looking for, it has done its job.
It will alert the user to her fertile window: the 4 crucial days before ovulation and the day of ovulation. It works similarly to
the urine sticks in that they detect for the LH surge that comes hours before ovulation. Once they detect that LH surge, you can
assume that you are going to ovulate in the next 12 hours or so.
