Question: We have used the information for this month which says that I should have ovulated on March 13 at 2:12am (by the lunar calendar). As always, I used an ovulation predictor kit. It did not show that an ovulation was going to occur. Should it show up when using a kit?
Answer:
No, an ovulation predictor kit will not show a Lunar Conception moment - unless the regular ovulation happens to coincide with the lunar phase return, as it happens with some women.
In fact, Francesca Naish suggests that it was so designed by nature that the regular ovulation should coincide with the Lunar Conception moment, and it might be like that with those women who live in harmony with nature, avoid stress etc. However, it is important to understand that in general, there are two completely different fertility cycles.
The cycle that is officially recognized by science is based on the hormonal changes in your body that have a monthly rhythm. Ovulation is a natural event in the middle of this cycle, and exactly this ovulation can be defined by the predictor kit as it is accompanied by some chemical (hormonal) changes in the body.
The cycle discovered by Dr. Jonas is not related to the regular hormonal changes. In fact, its peak fertility moment in many cases coincides with menstruation. We use the term "Lunar Conception" for this peak fertility moment in order to reliably distinguish it from the regular ovulation. As Lunar Conception isn't related to chemical changes in the body, it cannot be defined by a predictor kit.
