Inito is the first at-home fertility monitor that tracks four key fertility hormones (estrogen, LH, PdG, and FSH) all on a single test strip. In just ten minutes, you get accurate, personalized hormone data to help you understand your unique cycle and optimize your chances of conceiving. Unlike ovulation test kits that can only predict ovulation, Inito not only predicts but also confirms when ovulation actually happens. Inito is 96% as accurate as a blood test, without the cost, wait time, or hassle of going to a lab. If you are on a fertility journey, Inito provides you with clear insights into your unique hormone patterns, allowing you to stop guessing and start understanding your cycle more effectively. The Inito Starter Pack is available for just $89 with the code PREGNANCYPODCAST: https://try.inito.com/hormone-tracking/inf/?discount=PREGNANCYPODCAST&utm_source=social_media&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=podcast&utm_content=PREGNANCYPODCAST
