Frequencies of the occurrence of different types of crystallization by the NTF scale during the fertile and non-fertile days in the female from Bojnice.
A significant difference in types of saliva crystallization collected in fertile and non-fertile days of the cycle was found (Pearson’s chi-squared test, P < 0.01).
