1 in 6 British couples now face problems conceiving, so maximising the chances of natural conception by identifying precisely when ovulation occurs is critical. A new study by DuoFertility showed that 73% of women that are trying for a baby track their ovulation to help them conceive, and of those 93% use their fertility clues as ovulation indicators.
However, the study also revealed that over a third of women trying to conceive do not know how to recognise their body’s fertility signs adequately. For this reason a new fertility monitor, DuoFertility, is to be demonstrated at the UK Fertility Show 6-7 November in London, with free fertility expert consultations to help women to better understand their bodies. Visitors to the show, or company website, quoting code FS2009 will receive a £50 discount on the product which retails for £495.
Dr Bennett, a GP with a special interest in natural family planning in Cambridge, explains, “These fertility clues are commonly used by couples practicing natural family planning, who have learned how to recognise them with the help of a natural family planning teacher. However, a couple trying for a baby often doesn’t feel that they have the time to learn how to identify these clues, which may result in the signs being misinterpreted.”
The DuoFertility monitor is the only product that allows women to enter their observations, and, by using the objective measurement of a continuous BBT monitoring, the monitor will use clever algorithms to decide which clues are useful for that woman. Analysis of the data is tailored for each user making it a great option for couples that have irregular cycles, for example.
