Conception device

A conception device is something that assists with conception. There are many conception devices on the market today including saliva testers where a woman spits onto a glass slide and identifies where salt crystals are forming to identify when she is ovulating.

There are watches that also measure subtle body changes to help to identify time of ovulation.

There are LH surge urine sticks or ovulation predictor sticks that identify time of ovulation. A woman will urinate on an LH surge stick once or twice a day starting a few days before suspected ovulation. Often the stick will show two lines indicating that ovulation is 24-36 hours away. Timing intercourse or introduction of the semen into the vaginal cavity is critical to allowing conception.

A cervical cap or conception cap that assists to protect the semen from the vaginal cavity and allow all available semen to pool against the cervical os. Around time of ovulation a woman will fill the conception cap or cervical cap with semen and place it on her cervical os for several hours to maximize the amount of semen available to a waiting egg. It is important to note that there is a difference between cervical caps used for conception and cervical caps used for contraception.
