If you're trying to conceive and want help learning exactly when you are ovulating, there are several ovulation predictors on the market that can help. Some of the newest to enter the fray are ovulation predictors that allow you to test your saliva for the presence of estrogen instead of using those that test your urine for lutenizing hormone (LH).

One such example in the saliva testers is Ovulite, manufactured by Dynamic Health, LLC.

How can you tell your fertility by looking at your saliva? It seems weird, I know, but it really can work.

Saliva-based ovulation predictors test for estrogen in your saliva. You'll know it's there by the tell-tale "fern-like" patterns it produces when you view it through the accompanying microscope. Once you see these patterns and they are dominant throughout the specimen, then, according to Ovulite makers, ovulation is already occurring or is imminent, and you are at your optimal fertile period.
