Instead of IVF

Many couples ask about IVF without understanding what a stressful and difficult procedure it can be. IVF is expensive, costing up to £5000 per cycle (which may not be funded by the NHS in some regions) and there may be long waiting lists, depending on demand in your region. IVF takes an average of three rounds of treatment to become pregnant. So even if you are considering IVF as an option, you should also consider an alternative such a DuoFertility. DuoFertility is as successful as a round of IVF at one tenth of the price (after only a few months). You not only get the reassurance of trying for a natural pregnancy with expert support, you also get the confidence of knowing you are ovulating, seeing fertile days a week in advance – and a comprehensive fertility report to discuss with your doctor.

Did you know that for most cases of infertility, the chances of getting pregnant naturally are as high as for getting pregnant through IVF. This staggering information was released after a study in the Netherlands compared the pregnancy rate of couples while on the waiting list with the ones taking the actual IVF treatment – and found no difference between the two groups.

Dr Chausiaux says “We do not want to interfere with a doctor’s advice to couples in getting IVF, but we urge them to consider using a monitor such as DuoFertility while they are waiting for the treatment. The waiting time can be several months and there are often unexpected delays too. Couples have got nothing to lose – and everything to gain: if they do not get pregnant, they can get their money back, and if they do get pregnant naturally, well… I think we all agree that this is much better; no side effects, no complications.”

We saw the device at the Fertility Show in London 2009, & bought it on the day, and I'm so glad we did!

We did hesitate initially parting with the money, as the price tag is a tad higher than other ovulation monitors, but DuoFertility is in a completely different league from any other monitors in many ways. Apart from the obvious advantages - ease of use, ovulation predictions 6 days in advance, advantageous for people who suffer from PCOS or who have irregular cycles etc (plus the device can help spot irregularities) - what we didn't expect was the extremely impressive level of support we received from the DuoFertlity team! Time after time they surprised us with their interest & their willingness to help.

And the detailed report, after 4 cycles (a personal detailed overview, plus recommendations for further action) was fantastic! We had been wondering if maybe IVF was our best option, although I was hesitant. The DuoFertlity expert told me that, in her opinion, we did not need to have IVF. This confirmed our feelings that we'd like to hold off for a few more months before resorting to IVF, and we were rewarded by getting a positive pregnancy result a few weeks later, 5 months after using the device! We would not hesitate to recommend it.”
