Do You Want to Get Pregnant?
Cambridge Temperature Concepts is calling for volunteers to test its
new fertility monitor DuoFertility.
DuoFertility consists of a tiny sensor, the size of a £1 coin, embedded
in a small stick-on patch that can be worn discreetly by a woman under the
arm, night and day. It automatically collects temperature data every few
seconds, and a compact digital hand-held reader shows the results whenever
desired. CTC's Chief Executive Officer, Dr Shamus Husheer said, "DuoFertility
continuously measures body temperature so you don't have to. The temperature
data it produces has a precision greater than most laboratory research
equipment, whilst being simple and convenient to use. The participants in
the trial will benefit from having access to the latest technology in the
comfort and privacy of their own homes."

Mobile Phone with a Fertility Monitor
The
Unwired View website reports that Samsung has filed a patent
application for a mobile phone equipped with a fertility monitor.
The phone will have ultrasonic or laser based distance sensor and infrared
ray temperature sensor installed around its speaker. Whenever you make a phone
call, distance sensor measures the location of the phone relative to your
eardrum and infrared sensor measures the temperature inside your eardrum.
The rest is up to the phone software, which processes the measurements,
transforms them into BBT records, determines fertile and infertile periods of
the menstruation cycle and provides you with recommendations.

Conception - The Question of Timing
Newsday has followed up yesterday's Clearblue Easy
Fertility Monitor press release (below) with its own interesting
pregnancy monitor report, including an interview with an independent
expert who seems to agree that the Clearblue really does provide an
excellent means of determining the best time for conception:
"It is very interesting," said Dr. Nancy Jasper, an assistant clinical
professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at New York Presbyterian Hospital in
Manhattan, who wasn't part of the study. "The latest ovulation monitor that
measures a by-product of estrogen and leutinizing hormone opens the window
for women to have more opportunities to get pregnant."
Most monitors just measure leutinizing hormone, or LH, which surges on the
brink of ovulation and tells women ovulation will occur in the next 24 to 36
hours. The Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor lets women know when they are a
few days away from ovulating, based on their urine, so they have more time
to try and conceive. Jasper said the egg is usually viable for 48 hours.
Sperm is still active for three to five days.
..."Many women don't have a perfectly timed cycle," Jasper said. "And for
many women, timing is an issue in trying to conceive. That is why this type
of monitoring is ideal."

Get Pregnant Quicker
A press
release from Inverness Medical Innovations says new research "proves"
that the company's Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor "can significantly
improve the odds of a quicker conception".
The results of this controlled study are being published in the February
issue of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine's publication
"Fertility & Sterility"....
Findings revealed that approximately 23% of women who took part in the
research using the Monitor became pregnant during the first two cycles of
use, compared with 14% of the women who were not using the Monitor. This
indicates that over a third more women conceived using the Clearblue Easy
Fertility Monitor. Additionally, product feedback was overwhelmingly
positive with 90% of participants agreeing that the Fertility Monitor was
easy to use.

The Most Sophisticated Technology You Will Ever Pee On
Thank you to the
AdRants blog for its alert on the new ad for the Clearblue Easy
Fertility Monitor. You can view it
here.
Here's what AdRants tells us:
Those crazy cats at Amalgamated, the very guys who brought us Ben & Jerry
claymation, decide to stomp on the polite institution of blue bodily fluid
for their client Clearblue Easy and its new digital pregnancy test.
We would have respected them for that. But they took things one step further
and put the pregnancy test in space, a la Dark Star, and then let fall a
stream of disembodied space piss! And then our brains exploded....Be
careful. It's a little crazy.

Watches That Just Tell the Time Are So Boring
Coolest-Gadgets.com reviews the
OV-Watch Fertility Predictor:
Watches that just tell the time are so boring, so what extra
functionality can you add to your wrist watch to make it that much more
useful. You guessed it, a fertility meter.
...It looks like a digital wristwatch and it has a sensor that tracks the
differences in salt levels to accurately predict when you should do it.
This fertility gadget could come in real handy for couples planning on
trying for a baby (remember practice makes perfect), or for those who run a
mile when babies are mentioned.

A Watch That Says It's Time To Do It
The Los Angeles Daily News carries an amusing
review of the OV-Watch
Fertility Predictor:
"Honey, my watch says it's time to ... make a baby." You could be
speaking or hearing those words, if only you had the OV-Watch fertility
predictor, which looks like a normal runner's-type digital watch but instead
tells women the six days per month during which they're primed for
pregnancy.
Forget those nasty urine sticks which, in case you didn't know, get
covered with urine or the ultra-traditional temperature-taking method.
Those methods can miss the critical four-day period before ovulation, also
known as prime time for making babies, according to device-maker
HealthWatchSystems.
...The catch? It may look like a Timex, but the OV-Watch costs $189, which
includes a three-month supply of ion sensors. But considering the price of
fertility treatment at a doctor's office, that's small change. And you can
be sure the guy in your life will be intrigued by a digital watch that says,
"It's time to do it."
