Success stories

Here are testimonials from just some of the women who have been using DuoFertility:

Marie, aged 28, got pregnant after using DuoFertility for 4 months. She decided to use DuoFertility after deciding to try to get pregnant naturally, despite being told by her doctor that she should consider going through IVF. In her words, "DuoFertility made everything stress-free, easy and relaxed ... any woman who is having difficulties conceiving should consider it!"

"Not conceiving, especially after well over a year of trying in our case, can start to get concerning. As we were facing a series of treatment from our fertility clinic, we thought that we would try DuoFertility while we waited. We were incredibly fortunate to conceive naturally and avoid any fertility treatment at all. Thank you to all the DuoFertility team for their excellent service and ingenious product."
Helen, UK

“It was the answer to my prayers. The machine made sense. It was clever. It does the hard work for you. No waking up early every morning to take your temperature. No graphing it on paper. No training course needed to decipher the graphs.”
Alison, UK

"The sensor is so comfortable to wear that, sometimes I have to check I'm wearing it!"
Katarzyna, Poland

"The support that is offered is wonderful - the staff are very friendly and helpful, and most of my questions are answered within a day!"
Carolina, Spain

 

Below are profiles of real couples who been using DuoFertility.

 

Marie & Mirco, aged 28 and 35

Marie and Mirco both live in Italy. Marie works as a petrol station attendant and has been trying for a baby for four years. Marie has very irregular cycles which typically last from fifteen to sixty days due to the fact that she has high prolactin levels. Although Marie and Mirco were eligible for IVF, they did not want to go through the traumatic experience of hormonal stimulation and egg? retrieval, and preferred to try to conceive naturally. She started trying to monitor her ovulation by using a thermometer to take manual temperature measurements but found it very stressful. Because her cycles were so unpredictable, missing the day on which temperature increased meant that she would have to wait a couple of months before her next chance at getting pregnant. Using DuoFertility eliminated the stress from trying to get pregnant, and allowed Mirco to get involved, helping to bring them together into the monitoring process. After three months of using DuoFertility, Marie has successfully fallen pregnant and is due to give birth next March. She is confident that using DuoFertility helped her get pregnant. “The support from CTC was tremendous,” says Marie. “From before I even had the unit, their fertility experts had studied our records to see if they could help us conceive and then supported us every step of the way. It’s like having your own personal fertility expert at the end of a phone or an email away – they were always very quick in coming back with answers. It is a very stressful time trying to conceive if you know that you have problems and they helped take all that stress and worry away as did the automatic way that the sensor works – fit and forget! DuoFertility made everything stress-free, easy and relaxed – and no more early morning alarms to take my temperature! It is a great product – any woman who is having difficulties conceiving should consider it.”

Helen & David, aged 33 and 38

Helen & David both live in London, UK. Helen is a marketing director and David is self-employed. They had both been trying for a baby for 20 months. Helen has polycystic ovarian syndrome and had been taking Chinese medicine to try to help her to conceive. She had been using ovulation sticks to try to identify the best time of the month to plan intercourse, but found this very inconvenient. She came across DuoFertility after searching on the internet, and thought that it looked like a clever and accurate way of pinpointing the most optimum time to try to conceive. After using DuoFertility, she thought that it seemed much more thorough and liked the fact that it can predict your fertile days up to 6 days in advance. After using DuoFertility for 3 months, Helen successfully fell pregnant. Helen says, “I would definitely recommend this product to others - the data really helps you to build a good picture of what your body is doing and having the ability to talk this through with a fertility expert is an excellent value added. The sensor becomes unnoticeable on the one hand and on the other is reassurance that your cycle is being monitored 24/7 to make sure that you are given the most accurate prompt as to when to conceive.”

Catherine & Gary, aged 39 and 27

Catherine and Gary both live in Leeds, UK. Catherine is a television news correspondent and Gary is an IT software tester. After trying for a baby for 10 months, Catherine and Gary went to their local fertility clinic to undergo a series of fertility tests and were told that they should consider undergoing IVF. Catherine came across DuoFertility while searching for fertility monitors on the internet, and decided to buy it because she wanted an alternative to IVF, and was tired of having to wake up early everyday to take manual temperature measurements and use ovulation test sticks. During the first month of using DuoFertility, Catherine fell pregnant. She found out she was pregnant after she spotted a fall in temperature on her DuoFertility temperature charts and an increase in temperature towards the end of her cycle – this encouraged her to take a pregnancy test. Catherine is delighted with her experience with DuoFertility, and would definitely use it again in the future if she decides to try for a second child. She was most impressed with the convenience offered by the product, and the fact that it is able to predict your fertile days with such a high degree of accuracy.

Agnes & Robert, aged 35 and 36

Agnes and Robert both live in the Netherlands and have been trying for a baby for two and a half years. Agnes is a psychologist and Robert works as a chemical engineer. Agnes has oligomenorrhea and oligovulation and used Clomid for six months to regulate her cycle. She has undergone various procedures, including SIS, HSG and a hysteroscopy. Before using DuoFertility, Agnes tried to monitor her ovulation using LH tests, but found it very difficult to detect her fertile window due to her irregular cycles. Agnes and Robert decided to use the DuoFertility fertility monitor mainly because it is so much more convenient to use; it doesn’t require Agnes to wake up early every day, and it combines a lot of relevant information to make its predictions. After using DuoFertility for several months in combination with the various treatments and tests arranged by her doctor, Agnes has successfully fallen pregnant.

Alison & Graham, aged 42 and 46

Alison & Graham both live in Kent, UK. Alison is an Immigration Officer and Graham is a bricklayer; they have been trying for a baby for just over 2 years. After 9 months of trying to conceive, Alison and Graham requested a referral to a NHS fertility expert. They were very upset to be told straight off that they were already too old to receive NHS funded IVF. After both undergoing a range of fertility tests, they were told there was no known reason for their failure to conceive. Alison was advised to lose weight and keep trying. Alison researched as much as they could to ensure they were having intercourse when she was ovulating. They used ovulation predictor kits and saliva tests, which did not prove to be very accurate. After searching on the internet for a basal temperature thermometer, Alison came across the DuoFertility monitor. As Alison puts it, “It was the answer to my prayers. The machine made sense. It was clever. It does the hard work for you. No waking up early every morning to take your temperature. No graphing it on paper. No training course needed to decipher the graphs. The offer of a group of fertility experts’ advice seemed too good to be true. But when I became brave enough to ask a question the reply was so comprehensive I could have cried. All the questions you never get a chance to ask consultants were answered. I no longer felt I was alone and no longer that I was a pain for asking questions. This, my first reply, was worth the cost of the unit alone.” After using DuoFertility for four cycles, Alison received her free Fertility Expert report which raised the possibility of hormonal imbalances in her luteal phase?. Alison used the advice in the report to get a referral to a consultant who quickly diagnosed her with PCOS and prescribed her with metformin. As Alison puts it, “All of a sudden I had something tangible to take to my GP ... DuoFertility was pivotal to getting me diagnosed with a fertility problem at all.”

Rachel & Steven, aged 39 and 36

Rachel and Steven both live in London, UK. Rachel works as a TV producer and Steven is a website producer. They have been trying for a baby for 18 months, and already have one child. They do not have any fertility problems, but Rachel was finding it difficult to conceive because her cycle was uncertain and most of the products on the market were not user friendly, making it hard for her to identify her ovulation date. Rachel and Steven heard about DuoFertility when they visited the Fertility Show in Olympia, London, and decided to purchase it so that Rachel could see if she was ovulating and when the best chance of conception? was in a clear and convenient way. She found it much easier to use DuoFertility than competing products, and liked the fact that she could clearly view her cycle on the DuoFertility software, which gave her a real sense of her own body. After using DuoFertility for 3 months, Rachel fell pregnant. She would recommend DuoFertility to anyone with an unpredictable cycle or with problems conceiving.

Salena & Jason, aged 39 and 42

Salena and Jason live in the UK. They both work as police officers and have been trying for a baby for 8 months. When they first started trying for a baby, tests revealed that Salena was not ovulating and she was prescribed clomid by her doctor. Salena and Jason read about DuoFertility in a newspaper article, and since they had concerns about Salena's ovulation, they decided to use DuoFertility after she had begun to ovulate. Salena had been using urine samples to pinpoint her ovulation, but after using DuoFertility for a short amount of time, she realised that she was ovulating later than she had expected, which helped her to time intercourse for the best time of the month. After the first full cycle of using DuoFertility, Salena fell pregnant."DuoFertility was a small price to pay," says Salena. "I have been telling everybody about it!"
