Embodiment Construction

[0067] A normal pregnancy is one in which a woman carries a healthy fetus.

[0068] An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy in which the egg implants itself and develops outside the uterus.

[0069] A multiple pregnancy is when a woman has more than one healthy fetus.

[0070] figure 1 A pregnancy monitoring device 2 is shown comprising: a sample holder 4 for holding a sample absorbing member (test strip) 50; an analyzer; a display 6; and an electronic calculator. The test strip absorbs a biological sample and the test strip is inserted into the sample holder. Biological samples can be obtained from a variety of sources, such as urine samples collected from midstream urine where the urine has been present in the user's bladder for several hours. Other biological samples include: blood-based samples, such as blood, plasma, or serum; interstitial fluid samples; saliva samples; or gingival crevicular fluid samples. Test strips are designed to optimally absorb the biological sampl...

Abstract

The invention discloses a fertility and pregnancy monitoring device and method. According to the invention, a pregnancy monitoring device and method improve detection in the first trimester of the occurrence of ectopic pregnancy and the occurrence of multiple foetuses. The device includes a sample absorbing member and an analyser to analyse a plurality of sequential a biological liquid samples and computing means to determine an ovulation date and deviations in the measured quantity of hCG from predetermined values which are indicators of ectopic pregnancy or multiple pregnancy. The device and method enables early detection of ectopic pregnancy or multiple pregnancy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a fertility and pregnancy monitoring device and method. Specifically, the present invention discloses a convenient and easy-to-use pregnancy monitoring device and method that enables improved detection of ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, and multiple pregnancy in the first trimester. Background technique [0002] The first trimester is a time when complications in pregnancy are known to occur. Many of these complications can be treated and resolved if detected early. In the UK, while there are more than 700,000 live births, there are about 3,500 term stillbirths and an estimated 117,000 pregnancies end in miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. In Europe, approximately 5.2 million babies are born, while an estimated 832,000 are miscarried or ectopic. As a result, there is a higher incidence of pregnancy problems in the first trimester. [0003] In the early stages of pregnancy, an egg is released from the ovary into the fallopian t...
