During the infertile days this 'ferning pattern' disappears owing to the increasing are followed, determining fertility through ovulation microscopy has been.

I am getting close to Ov and the pattern looks different than earlier in the month but it is not a ferning pattern. It is like a criss-cross pattern, like looking at a piece of material/weave under a microscope. The ferning phenomenon is a dendritic growth pattern of dried tear fluid. It is influenced by the secretions’ electrolyte, protein, and mucus contents. When mucus is permitted to air dry on a microscope slide, a specific type of crystalli-zation called a fern occurs, and this phenomenon has been termed “ferning.” 3. Using a microscope, examine the dried smear under low power without a cover slip. 4.

A ferning microscope is meant to help predict ovulation by testing saliva (or CM) You put a bit on the microscope slide and leave it to dry. when dry you look thru the scope and you should see a pattern. if you are expecting ovulation within next few days you will get a pattern a bit like a fern leaf or ice crystals. if not it will just be random blobs/spots.

During a woman’s fertile period her saliva will show a pattern that resembles the leaves of a fern. This means she is close to ovulation and should begin to prepare to conceive.

Cervical mucus can also make a pattern similar to ferning on a microscope slide, but it is usually patchy and with less branching. Differential diagnosis. Other conditions that may present similarly to premature rupture of membranes are the following:

Mucins exhibit the distinctive ability of ferning, which represents a physical characteristic of crystallization in the presence of sodium chloride.

These crystalline patterns are created as a consequence of hormonal changes preceding ovulation.
