1. Introduction
The Inito Fertility Monitor is an advanced at-home device designed to help women track and understand their fertility cycle by measuring key hormones. This monitor connects wirelessly to your iOS or Android device, providing personalized insights into your unique hormonal patterns. By tracking Estrogen, Luteinizing Hormone (LH), Pregnanediol Glucuronide (PdG), and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Inito helps you identify your fertile window and confirm ovulation.

4. Operating Instructions
The Inito testing process is designed to be simple and integrate into your morning routine. It involves three main steps: Dip, Test, and Go.
4.1. The 3-Step Testing Process
- DIP: Collect a urine sample in a clean, dry cup. Dip the absorbent tip of an Inito Fertility Test Strip into the urine for 15 seconds. Ensure the urine does not go past the MAX line.
- TEST: Immediately after dipping, insert the test strip into the Inito Fertility Monitor. Ensure it is fully inserted until it clicks into place. Place the monitor on a flat, stable surface.
- GO: Open the Inito app on your smartphone. The app will automatically detect the monitor and begin the reading process. Do not remove the strip or move the monitor until the app indicates the test is complete and results are ready. This usually takes about 10 minutes.

4.2. When to Test
The Inito app will provide personalized recommendations on when to start testing based on your cycle length. Generally, you will begin testing a few days after your period ends and continue daily until ovulation is confirmed.
5. Understanding Your Results
The Inito Fertility Monitor measures four key hormones to provide a comprehensive view of your cycle:
- Estrogen (E3G): Helps identify your full 6-day fertile window.
- Luteinizing Hormone (LH): Predicts when you will ovulate (LH surge).
- PdG (urine metabolite of Progesterone): Confirms that you have ovulated.
- Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): Tracks your follicle growth.

The Inito app provides clear, easy-to-understand charts and interpretations of your hormone levels. It will indicate your fertile window, peak fertility, and confirm ovulation based on the rise in PdG levels. You can track your cycle progress and share these insights with your healthcare provider.

6. Maintenance and Care
- Monitor Cleaning: Gently wipe the Inito Fertility Monitor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or cleaning solutions directly on the device. Ensure no moisture enters the strip insertion slot.

- Battery: The Inito monitor uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. Charge the device as needed using the provided cable or a compatible USB charger.
7. Troubleshooting
- Monitor Not Connecting to App: Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. Make sure the monitor is charged. Try restarting both the app and your phone.
- Error Message During Test: Ensure the test strip is inserted correctly and fully. Check that the monitor is on a flat, stable surface. Do not move the monitor during testing. If errors persist, contact Inito support.
- Inconsistent Readings: Ensure you are testing at the same time each day (first-morning urine is recommended). Avoid excessive fluid intake before testing. Ensure test strips are not expired and have been stored correctly.
