reproductive-age women need better access to at-home fertility treatment options PITTSBURGH, Pa., April 19, 2017– While fertility clinics may be difficult for some women to access, there are other more accessible options. Pittsburgh-based medical device company, Rinovum Women's Health, offers solutions for building families naturally with an at-home conception device designed to help with becoming pregnant. This innovative alternative can be especially helpful for the nearly 40 percent of reproductive-age women in the United States with limited or no local access to assisted reproductive technology clinics. The Stork® OTC (www.storkotc.com) is an FDA-cleared over-the-counter treatment device designed to optimize the chances of at-home conception using the cervical cap insemination technique. It is a safe, easy-to-use, accessible treatment option to help women become pregnant during ovulation without a prescription and in the privacy of their own home. According to a recent study published in the journal Fertility & Sterility, 25 million reproductive-age women in the United States have limited or no access to assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinics, which provide services that are vital to many women trying to become pregnant. The study used data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to pinpoint infertility clinics in proximity to where women live in order to evaluate and assess viable access to infertility care in the United States. “The Stork OTC is a uniquely designed medical device that has helped many couples come closer to their goal of building a family. It’s an easy-to-use, drug-free, cost-effective way to take control and optimize your chances to conceive without driving to distant clinics,” explained Dr. Michael J. Pelekanos, Board Certified OB/GYN based in Monroeville, Pa.
