Having trouble trying to conceive? Then this new home fertility test kit just
might be for you!
Sometimes it
just takes a little while to conceive. But for some, there may be physical
reason in either the male or the female that is preventing successful
conception. Couples can now begin investigating fertility issues at home with
the new home fertility test kit called Fertell.
Fertell is used at home and takes
about 90 minutes for results to become available. Both the male and female are
able to test themselves, enabling a couple to begin researching possible causes
for infertility. This test has been approved by the FDA and is considered 95%
accurate. This test will probably cost about $100 USD.

But what does Fertell measure?
The test for the female measures the follicle stimulating hormone, or FSH in the
first morning urine on a woman’s third day of her period. The test will
indicate whether a woman’s FSH level is within the normal range. A high FSH
level indicates the woman’s chances for conception are decreased. If so,
chances may be increased with the help of a physician or fertility clinic.
The male test measures the
concentration of the motile sperm that is better suited toward swimming toward a
female’s egg. If the motile sperm count is low, there is a decreased chance for
successful fertilization. This test comes with detailed instructions that
suggest the test be taken two to seven days since the last ejaculation.
Critics warn that the test
measuring the female follicle stimulating hormone does not take in to
consideration the additional hormones involved in women’s fertility. But it
does give a couple a beginning, enabling them to decide the best course of
action to increase chances of conception.
