Did you know that 1 in 6 couples are unable to conceive after 12 months of trying?

I have friends who ‘suffer’ from infertility and I can only imagine the stress, the pain, and the frustration that they must go through.

While there are options, I know that not all options are reasonable for everyone’s financial situation and not all options are successful.

One of these options is The Stork – an home device I just recently learned of.

The Stork OTC is the only conception assistance device cleared by the FDA for over-the-counter sales to consumers, without a prescription. It is now available online and in CVS/pharmacy stores which makes it easily accessible.

The Stork OTC uses an established and effective conception technique—cervical cap insemination—which helps with many common fertility difficulties. (You can learn more about that process on their
.)

It is a drug-free, economical conception aid they can use at home, without a prescription and is a sensible first step before trying more costly, invasive procedures, delivering hope to millions of Americans struggling to conceive a child.

According to their website, cervical cap insemination (which is the technique The Stork OTC uses) has been around since the 1950s, with documented success rates between 10 and 20%, similar to IUI.

The Stork OTC helps with:

• Male fertility issues such as low sperm count and motility issues.
  
  Female fertility issues such as unfavorable vaginal environment.

In addition, The Stork OTC may assist:

• Couples trying to become pregnant without intercourse.
  
  Individuals committed to building a family.
  
  Couples not ready to take the next step to more medical/costly treatment options (e.g. IUI or IVF).
