New Home Fertility Test for Couples

“Fertell comes with two tests: a motile sperm test for men, and a hormone test for women.
The sperm test works this way: Semen is deposited into a collection container, sits for 30 minutes, then is forced through a chamber with a chemical solution that simulates cervical fluid. For the next 30 minutes, the test measures the number of sperm capable of swimming through the solution. Results appear as one or two red lines in a test result window on the chamber.
Fertell’s female fertility test works like a home-pregnancy-test urine stick. The test strip measures the level of follicle-stimulating hormone present in the first morning urine on Day 3 of the menstrual period. The hormone, when measured in serum, has been found to be a key measure of “ovarian reserve,” or the ability of the ovary to produce viable eggs. Results are available in 30 minutes.”

Sheryl’s comment:
I will always advocate anything that keeps people out of the doctor’s office and helps them avoid humiliating and degrading testing. Generally sperm testing and checking FSH aren’t particularly degrading (compared to other fertility testing) in a doctor’s office but it is still more comfortable in the privacy of your own home.
If you have been trying to conceive without success then the home test might be a place to start. There are many conditions that can contribute to fertility problems and this test will not identify all of them so even if the test results are fine there still could be a structural or other problem precluding pregnancy.
Fertell is available at CVS stores and online if you are interested in satisfying your own curiosity in the privacy of your own home. It might just fill in some blanks for you.
