Fed-Up with Other Fertility Tests

Doctors know that falling pregnant is not easy for many of us. In fact they recommend you have sexual intercourse every two days for a whole year before seeking medical help and advice. This can be difficult for many of us with busy lives and stressful jobs. Remarkably, for at least three weeks of every month you cannot conceive no matter how many times you have sexual intercourse. It is actually only possible to conceive during the few fertile days each cycle. As DuoFertility can provide you with the reassurance of knowing when fertile days occur, this can be extremely helpful.

Even if you do not fall pregnant, DuoFertility will prove invaluable support. That’s because it also provides you with expert support and ensures you have a full cycle history and a comprehensive fertility report when the time comes to discuss your situation with your doctor after 12 months of trying. Imagine how reassuring that will be!

Ovulation? tests can predict that ovulation may happen. But it may surprise you to learn that they do not confirm ovulation has happened. More astonishing still, they only work for about two thirds of women. Urine tests measure hormonal changes that occur before ovulation. All they tell you is “you might ovulate in a few days”.

What you really need to know is whether you ovulated or not. And if you are not ovulating, you want to have the evidence to show to your doctor to get rapid referral for further testing. Dr Chausiaux says that in many cases GPs will organise fertility tests to be performed promptly if they have evidence that something is wrong. So being able to provide doctors with objective measurements of your fertility history can be invaluable.”

Sharon Morris, fertility coach, tells us that she speaks to many couples who have been trying to conceive for months using urine tests - and they are still not pregnant. In her view this is often because the tests do not provide the users with reliable data. This is simply explained by the fact that these tests are made for couples with no problems, as soon as the hormonal levels are slightly outside of the “normal range” the data becomes unreliable.

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.
