In a recent study from the Ohio State University Medical Center, 62.2 percent of those surveyed turned to alternative therapies before turning to more invasive medical treatments for infertility and getting pregnant. "The study speaks to people's commitment to do everything within their power to conceive," said Dr. Jonathan Schaffir, obstetrician at The Ohio State University Medical Center and lead author of the study. "Most of the non-medical options are shown to be harmless but very few, if any, have been shown to actually benefit infertility."
Even though these non-medical options might be time-consuming and expensive, they may have been beneficial because of their ensuing relaxation benefits, which are conducive to successful conception. Ovu-Trac® adds itself to this list of non-medical approaches to family planning. This in-home ovulation predictor kit tracks changes in a woman's saliva that indicate when she is entering her fertile phase. With this knowledge, she can take control of her fertility and plan intercourse effectively to achieve pregnancy.
Many doctors advocate the practice of calculating fertile days by observing changes in the menstrual cycle. However, not every menstrual cycle is identical, which is why the Ovu-Trac kit is most beneficial. Ovu-Trac provides women with individual ovulation test results based on their own bodies. This control and individualization undoubtedly reduces anxiety and stress during pregnancy planning, thereby increasing a woman's chances of success.
