NCT ID NCT06862440
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 16, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares a new at-home vaginal device (Kegg) that measures electrical changes in cervical mucus to standard methods like urine hormone strips and mucus checks. About 500 women aged 18-40 will use the device for three menstrual cycles. The goal is to see if the device can accurately identify the fertile window and ovulation day, offering a more convenient option for fertility tracking.
