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.

(And the more I think about this, the more I like it. As things stand currently, I am very likely not pre-conception. I see no pregnancy in the foreseeable future of my own volition. I know numerous people who, if they have anything to say about it, are extremely, like failing of several methods of contraception plus an extra circumstance like rape, extremely definitely NOT pre-conception. On the other hand, to the best of my knowledge I am fertile.)
