Abington Reproductive Medicine is seeking approximately 170 participants for a clinical study to test the accuracy of the Biometer, an FDA-approved device that predicts ovulation.
Manufactured by Biosense, the Biometer is a small device resembling a digital thermometer that can be used to increase the chance of conception or as a more accurate method of natural family planning. To use the Biometer, individuals insert the device into their vagina. In five seconds, the Biometer gives a digital readout indicating the user’s anticipated date of ovulation, or if the user is currently ovulating.
Study participants will be required to use the Biometer to obtain daily ovulation readings for 90 consecutive days (approximately three menstrual cycles). The study will also involve some laboratory and ultrasound monitoring, and participants will be asked to record their experiences in a diary.
The results of the study are expected to play a significant role in helping couples struggling with infertility achieve pregnancy. Individuals who prefer natural family planning will benefit as well.
All participants will receive $250 upon completion of the study. To register or for more information, please call 215-481-4876.
