     As a matter of fact, the Rabbit Ovulation Computer does a good job of
accurately determining when a woman is ovulating, and tells which days are
her fertile time.  She must take her temperature each morning (using a
thermometer attached to the unit) and record when her periods start.  The
device is supposed to be quite accurate, and is normally used to help
conception.

     For more information, call The Rabbit Computer Company at 213-479-4106.
