About DuoFertility

DuoFertility exists to help couples get pregnant naturally and conveniently by providing the best available fertility monitoring solution backed up with personalised help and support from a team of world-class fertility experts.

DuoFertility is the most precise and convenient way to predict and detect a woman’s moment of maximum fertility. It works by unobtrusively measuring the woman’s body temperature 20,000 times a day with extreme accuracy. This temperature measurement approach is a scientifically proven way to detect ovulation^? with 99% accuracy. The unique and easy-to-use DuoFertility product avoids having to wake up early to measure temperature manually or having to repeat inconvenient and disagreeable urine tests. The data gathered by DuoFertility can optionally be displayed and analysed on a computer at home and can also help doctors provide the best medical advice to the couple. Because DuoFertility is entirely natural and non-intrusive, it can be used in conjunction with any other method that relies on natural intercourse to maximise a couple’s chances of success each and every monthly cycle. DuoFertility is a cost-effective alternative to assisted reproductive treatments, such as IVF.
