Better word anyone? -- preconception

[javasaurus]

Anybody got a better word for "preconception"?

The word needs to describe a state of being able to get pregnant. It should not imply the desire to get pregnant, just the ability to do so.

"post menarche" doesn't work because my grandmother (just turned 90 years old!) is post-menarche.
