The Ovarian Hormone Meter monitors the hormonal ovulatory pattern and has proved useful for those women who have only a slight mucus symptom. Access to the Ovarian Hormone Meter is available through Billings Ovulation Method centres. Chronic ill-health Smoking Abnormality of the blood vessels of the testes, acute feverish illness, prolonged stress and very frequent intercourse can also lower the sperm count temporarily. A low sperm count does not necessarily indicate male infertility. The cervix must produce mucus to ensure selection, nourishment and transport of the best sperm cells to meet the egg in the fallopian tube.
Emotions affect the finely balanced functions of reproduction.
In some cases the loving bond between the couple needs more nurturing before conception will occur. It is essential that the couple have correct information about the requirements for conception. The Billings Ovulation Method can give this knowledge and may assist in identifying an infertility problem which may be amenable to correction. When this is treated by appropriate specialist management the couple can then use the knowledge of fertility recognition to provide the best chance for conception.
