A handheld fertility device, developed by former students of Cambridge University, is as effective as IVF for couples struggling to conceive, it has been claimed.
The DuoFertility system measures variations in body temperature to identify when a woman is most fertile.
The 495-pound device, dubbed the ‘sat-nav of the fertility world’, is claimed to be statistically as good as IVF.
Its developers, Cambridge Temperature Concepts, even promise to give couples their money back if they are not pregnant within 12 months of using the gadget.
DuoFertility combines a small sensor that fits under the arm and a hand-held reader that together can measure body temperature 20,000 times during the night to identify when a woman is at her most fertile.
It stores the data, which is then downloaded at the touch of a button to the reader and CTC claims it is 99 per cent accurate.
