New At Home Fertility Test
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.

My Bf & I have never used contreceptives in the past 7yrs(use2 use “pull out” way)but then many times he didnt pull out on axident and adventually we don’t bother. We use to fear getting pregnant, then we didn’t mind if it happened but now were r both worried that we can’t when ready since its just NEVER happened.we have gone to doctors and apparently we r both in great condition for conceiving.I looked at the fertility tips and our diet is very simular to foods it suggested, we walk/power walk our dogs all the time and we love to swim, so we excersize and I wouldn’t call it over exersize. We consume alcohal maybe every 4-6months and not much, we don’t smoke. I wouldn’t say we r very stressed. What is it we r doing wrong?
