Abstract

CrMS charting features -- Peak day definition, pre-Peak mucus quality and duration, post-Peak phase length, and premenstrual spotting -- are systematically compared against sonographic and endocrine findings to demonstrate that prospective cycle observations reliably identify specific ovulation disorder categories. This clinical validation shows that the CrMS chart functions as a non-invasive biomarker map capable of directing targeted ultrasound and hormonal investigation, and that treatment guided by the classification improves ovulatory and fertility outcomes.
