The Stork OTC – A Home Conception Aid

While I have received compensation for this post from fertility Planit, all opinions are my own.
Isn’t it funny how before you start actively trying to have a child, you assume it will be so easy?

You think you’ll just make the decision that you are ready, and poof surely you’ll get pregnant! Except it doesn’t happen that way for many couples. And it didn’t happen that way for me. When my husband and I got married we started trying right away for a family, but it took two years and a lot of heartache before we were blessed with our daughter. Perhaps you are struggling to start, or expand your family too? It can be a lonely place – believe me, I understand. And that’s why I’m grateful to be able to share with you some information on a product that might be an answer. Better yet, it involves no chemicals, no shots – no medical procedures.

First a word about fertility.

When I first took a health class in school and they covered fertility, all they ever said was that women had a fertile time each month during which they could get pregnant. They didn’t talk about how to figure out when that time was, or about how not every woman has the same window. But once you enter the world of trying conceive (TTC) you can become overwhelmed. I’ve personally, watched a million YouTube videos about TTC, and they left me with more questions than they answered. I tried the phone apps that track your period. I tried daily temperature taking. I tried over the counter ovulation kits. But they all help you to do one thing: to find that magical window when you are most fertile. But that window is very small, and the question becomes – how do you maximize your chances during that slim time frame?

One top of the time element that all couples struggle with – those who have been unable to conceive because they have been diagnosed with low sperm count, sperm immobility, or an unfavorable vaginal environment are also battling very low odds of getting pregnant even within that window.

That is where I think The Stork OTC really shines.

How Does it Work?

The Stork OTC allows couples hoping to get pregnant, to have sexual intercourse without any added medical interventions. A very simple applicator helps to deliver the sperm directly outside of the cervix. In other words – it helps get more of your husbands swimmers, closer to the door of the cervix where they will still need to fertilize your egg. This at home conception aid does not take away the element of chance. But it does help you increase the odds, and to take full advantage of your fertile window. And in my experience, thats what you most want during the TTC journey. To know that you are giving yourself the very best chance of becoming pregnant every time that window opens up. And for me – that means everything.

 Who Might be Interested in Stork OTC?

• Those who have struggled with Infertility, but don’t want medical interventions.
• Those who have been diagnosed with low sperm count.
• Those with sperm immobility.
• Those with unfavorable vaginal environments.
• Those who want to maximize the amount of sperm that gets to their cervix during their ovulatory cycle.
• Those that want to try something else before starting more aggressive fertility treatments.
• Those that want to avoid more aggressive fertility treatments due to spiritual beliefs.

The Stork OTC is not an answer for everyone that is dealing with infertility. But it can be a great tool for maximizing your chances of becoming pregnant in some circumstances. I wish very much that my husband and I would have had this tool available when we were first trying to conceive!

Every bit of hope helps when your on a TTC journey. And I hope that knowing about this device – helps you on yours!
