There are a number of products available to try to help you conceive, from the low tech products that remind you of when your cycle begins and ends to the high tech ovulation prediction kids and everything in between. Getting pregnant has never been so intensely studied as these days! So whether you choose low tech ferning microscopes or watches that monitor the sweat on your arms for signals of ovulation, there is something here to help nearly everyone no matter what stage of trying to conceive you fall into.

1. Taking Charge of Your Fertility

There is something in this classic book for everyone. Whether you're actively trying to conceive a baby or would rather not plan a family yet, you can learn how to accurately interpret your body's signals. By using the body awareness techniques you can cut the amount of time it takes to conceive a child. Watching your body's signals will allow you to ensure that the time is "ripe" for a child. You can even see how you ovulate by using the charting rather than the guessing.

2. CycleBeads

The OV Watch Fertility Predictor is a very interesting concept. It was easy to use and not troublesome. If it works as advertised it will be an amazing revolution to the trying to get pregnant crowd. The actual first design of this product is a slightly clunky attempt. I look forward to future modifications.

5. ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor

After years of charting, I thought I'd give technology a try. This was a very simple test to use, even more so than a pregnancy test. The results were easy to read and my husband was able to enjoy it a bit more than sympto-thermal methods because it was a machine. The anticipation of matching what I was feeling with my body and what symbol would pop-up each day was also a neat experience. I used it for three cycles and was successful on the third cycle. You still have to do it in a time window, but it's much easier to do when you're not worried about moving around so much that you disturb your basal body temperature.

6. Fertile Focus

The Conception Kit is a tool used to help people get pregnant. It is a three month supply of the items used to pinpoint ovulation, assist in conception and detect pregnancy - all within the confines of your home.

8. The Conception Curve

The conception curve is a unique pillow designed to naturally aid your conception efforts by placing your body in an optimal position after having sex. This allows a better chance for the sperm to reach the cervix. It's much more comfortable than the standard of placing your bedroom pillows under your rear because it provides greater support. It can also double as a bed chair when not in use for other purposes.
