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.

I still like fertile and think that the CDC document could work with it (though a more accurate thing would be 'potentially fertile').

Impregnable might work but still has connotations that I would prefer to NOT be in such a document.

Non-senior adult woman?

Maybe a new (and better) word would suffice.

We have menopausal for a woman who no longer cycles. Menstruating has certain specific meanings that should not be diluted by others.

How about Mensal as a new word for the situation. It focuses on the fact that the woman in question does cycle and makes no assumption about the need/appropriateness/inevitability of motherhood.
