Focus on Fertility: Baby-Making Made Easy!

For the more than 10 million couples in America who are trying-to-conceive a baby, accurately predicting ovulation - a woman's most fertile time of the month - is the key to success.

Now, with a new and innovative diagnostic tool called Fertile Focus [1], baby-making just got a whole lot easier. Created by Fairhaven Health and WebMD's Dr. Amos Grunebaum, Fertile Focus is a personal ovulation microscope - an easy-to-use, handheld device that allows women to predict ovulation by viewing changes in their saliva samples. As a woman approaches ovulation and peak fertility, crystal patterns (referred to as "ferns") become visible in her saliva when viewed through the Fertile Focus lens. Dr. Grunebaum, an internationally recognized fertility expert, explains that "the crystal or ferning patterns are due to an increase in the hormone estrogen, which is a direct precursor to ovulation."

When a woman begins detecting a positive ferning pattern, she knows that she is fertile and ovulation is about to take place. Fertile Focus pinpoints the ideal time to make love. With a quarter century of experience as an Ob-Gyn, a best-selling book written with Dr. Ruth Westheimer, and over 3,000 babies delivered, Dr. Grunebaum understands the needs of trying- to-conceive couples. "Working with Fairhaven Health has allowed me to develop products like Fertile Focus that enhance reproductive wellness and increase a woman's chance to conceive."

Shown to be 98% accurate in clinical studies and given the green light by the FDA, there is no better time than now for the ovulation microscope. "The average age of women trying to conceive increases every year, meaning that more and more couples face difficulties in achieving pregnancy. With Fertile Focus, we empower women to understand and manage their own fertility - and become pregnant faster."

Most instructive about Fertile Focus [1] is its ability to provide results over a woman's entire menstrual cycle. As Dr. Grunebaum notes, "using an ovulation microscope is wonderful because it is precisely the gradual transformation in saliva patterns over time that provides an early alert to peak fertility. This makes Fertile Focus is an especially invaluable tool for women with irregular cycles".

Retailing at around $25.00, Fertile Focus is very affordable when compared to traditional urine tests, and it can be re-used indefinitely. Since Dr. Grunebaum began recommending Fertile Focus to his patients, more than one happy couple has attributed a pregnancy success story to this trusty little microscope.
