Did It Work?

I know that for most of us, this is not part of our fertility plan, but this new product will definitely make life easier for many men!!

Do you know anyone who has recently had a vasectomy? Following the procedure they were probably asked to come back in to “make sure” that the surgery had worked. Nothing that they look forward to, I am sure!!!!

Well, there is a new product that was recently approved by the FDA the will make the follow up appointments a thing of the past! SpermCheck Vasectomy is an at-home test that allows men to check their fertility status by assessing the number of sperm that are “alive and well!” :)

Researchers from ContraVac felt this was a needed product since in a given year, there are about 500,000 vasectomies performed. Men are then asked to return for 2 follow up visits. 35% of men never return for their first follow up visit, and 70% fail to return for their second follow up appointment.

It is amazing how many at home tests are becoming available to folks. I know that it is nice to be able to have some control over our own medical status….even if it is information that we use in conjunction with our doctors!

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.
