Menstruation Prediction kit
The primary object of the present invention is to predict exact time and date of menstruation during luteal phase of menstrual cycle in fertile women, girls and perimenopausal women, using a point- of- care salivary kit. Secondary objective is to provide a unique method and kit for quantitative determination of salivary progesterone using Lateral flow technique. Total 100 girls/ women from fertile age will be selected. They are divided into 3 age groups (G1:18-25yrs , G2:25-39yrs, G3: >39yrs)Levels of Serum, urinary and Salivary progesterone will be measured of all women participants during 4 premenstrual days for two consecutive cycles.PG will be measured by ELISA method Prototype development of a kit using lateral flow technology for quantitative estimation of salivary progesterone Kit will be used for prediction of onset of menstrual cycle in all women.
The median serum progesterone levels were 72 fold higher than salivary progesterone.
