DID YOU KNOW..?

In practical terms the key to your fertility is ovulation prediction. If you can predict when you will ovulate you can predict your most fertile time. Knowing when you will ovulate is essential if you wish to become pregnant.

Around 15% of couples are infertile or sub-fertile - this explains why so many couples present with fertility problems of one kind or another but the delays in pregnancy for most couples is simply bad timing of intercourse!

Reliable home testing products are now available for ovulation prediction. This is amazing when one considers that these tests would have only been available to specialists 20 years ago, and even then the doctor might have to wait 3 weeks for a result!

Public awareness of these methods is growing fast. Many couples don't want to wait for nature to take its course especially when they have the chance to take more control over their fertility. Working/career couples especially prefer to choose the best time to conceive, have the baby and then get back to work in a carefully planned way - ovulation predictors are an essential part of this.

"The average couple will take six months to conceive even if they are fertile. This is a surprising fact to many individuals and is largely explained by the fact that the couples are probably not having intercourse at the best time of the womens cycle."

Recent research suggests the fertility window is much smaller than previously thought ie you are only fertile for 3-4 days each month. This contrasts with the common view that exists amongst the general public who think that you can get pregnant at almost any time of the month.

• Timing intercourse to maximise your chances of conception.
• Identifying ovulation problems to accelerate your referral for treatment.

Fertility is not a high priority in many hospitals and some doctors are unsympathetic to the couple presenting with fertility problems. Furthermore in these days of financial constraints many professionals argue that infertility should not be a priority for the health service.

Couples are starting families later in life and any delays in conception become quite worrying. We get a lot of emails from women who have come off the pill and have not conceived after 2-3 months - we offer advice and some of our clinically proven products to help them conceive sooner.

We live in an age where people want information so that they can make their own decisions - that is why we started this web site back in 1997! Since then we have helped thousands of women to get pregnant or helped them understand more about the infertility treatment they were having.
