Home fertility test kits available in pharmacies

COUPLES who are struggling to have children can now test their fertility in the privacy of their own homes with a simple kit costing €120.

Makers of the Fertell test, which went on sale yesterday, say the kit is 95% accurate in indicating good fertility rates in men and women.

Aimed at couples who have been trying for children, each fertility kit contains a test for the man and another for the woman.
