Infertility Treatment & Option: OTC Drug Hopes To Help Couples Wanting A Family As CDC Declares Fertility Rate Is Dropping

Recent studies have underscored how fertility rate continues to drop among individuals with supposedly healthy reproductive systems. The matter is becoming a growing concern, especially for couples who want to start a family. But an over-the-counter (OTC) fertility drug might just address this problem.

The CDC published a study on fertility rate, which covers the period between 2014 to the first quarter of 2016. It stated that there has been a "general fertility rate decline" in births among women in the reproductive age of 15-44 compared to what has been estimated.

A separate study, conducted among British folks and published in the Oxford journal on Human Reproduction in April 2016, supports the same fact that infertility is increasing. Experts said that there have indeed been millions of couples requiring more help in getting pregnant and starting a family. However, most infertility treatments are rather invasive and expensive that it limits the options for couples wanting to become parents. The entrance of the OTC fertility drug in the market, The Conception Kit, seem to come at the right time.
