Sample values
Lady-Comp comes with pre-set example values.
These are automatically deleted once you have
taken your first temperature or entered menstrua-
tion data. The sample values will appear again if
you delete all of your data.
Loss of data
There is no risk of accidentally losing your data,
even if the batteries are depleted.
After the pill
(or hormonal contraception)
Prior to starting with Lady-Comp, you must stop
taking any form of hormonal contraception. The
first bleeding after stopping hormonal contra-
ception is not a menstruation, but a hormone-
conditioned withdrawal bleeding. Do not enter
“M” for this bleeding.
Pearl-Index
The Pearl Index is the value by which the safety
of a contraceptive method is specified in med-
icine. The daily fertility displays of Lady-Comp
have a Pearl Index of 0.7, or in other words,
99.3%.
Example:
If 100 women use contraception for one year and
one of them becomes pregnant, this corresponds
to a Pearl Index of 1.0.
Program
The program is based on all natural family plan-
ning research data. It contains a database of
more then 1 million cycles and uses biomathe-
matical forecasting calculations as well as the
very latest computer techniques. The more regu-
larly you measure, the faster the device gets to
know and interpret your individual cycle. It will
show more and more green days (infertile) and
the red days (fertile days) will decrease as the
device learns your individual rhythm. Depending
on your individual cycle pattern you will have
between 7 and 12 red days per cycle.
Prognosis
Our displays in relation to ovulation and planning
are calculated prognoses. Once a menstrual cycle
is completed and a new one begins with menstru-
ation, Lady-Comp will confirm the day of ovula-
tion retrospectively. The confirmed ovulation day
will be recognized after the 4th cycle day of your
next menstrual cycle.
Travel and time zones
When travelling in different time zones you have
the ability to change the date and time to the
local time. Set and activate the alarm to the
desired new reading time. Lady-Comp will be
ready to take your measurement the next morning.
Repeat the procedure when you return home.
Daylight Saving Time
Set the time forward or backward in the summer
or in winter, as described on page 9.
Shift work
Set and activate the alarm to the desired new
wake up time. Your computer will be ready to
take your measurement the next day. Do the
same at the next shift change.
Restart after interruption in use
The time, date, and year continue to work auto-
matically. The measurement period is disabled
when you don’t take your temperature and needs
to be reset by activating the alarm clock. Set the
alarm for the next morning (before midnight)
and continue as normal.
