If you are on birth control does that save your eggs?<br />Thank you so much , Mary<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Catherine answers: </span>Yes, it is possible to freeze eggs, if you can afford it. You would need a fertility doctor to help you.<br /><br />You are born with about 500,000 egg cells and by puberty there are about 75,000 left. Only about 400 to 500 ever mature fully to be released during the menstrual cycle. Menopause is the last stage of a gradual biological process in which your ovaries reduce their production of female sex hormones.<br /><br />You never actually run out of eggs, your body just stops making enough of these necessary sex hormones as you age. When you hit menopause, you still have 1,000 eggs or more left - but they may not be of good quality, and your body may not be producing enough estrogen and progesterone to maintain a pregnancy.<br /><br />No, birth control does not save your eggs - every cycle an egg is matured. <span class="answerbag_vibrant">If you are using the birth control pill, the mature egg will deteriorate and be re-absorbed by your body. </span> It depends on the type of birth control you use, how much it would affect your fertility.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">~*~ Catherine,</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">owner of </span><a style="font-style: italic;" class="ecxmoz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.borntolove.com/" target="_blank">www.borntolove.com</a><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.frugal-freebies.com/">Frugal-Freebies.com</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> and </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/">pregnancystories.blogspot.com</a><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com/">pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> and </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com/">youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com</a></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Photo Credit: </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.sxc.hu/profile/adamci">adamci</a><br style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">All Rights Reserved</span></span><br /><br /><hr /><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:130%;">◊ </span>Follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/Pregnancyover44" title="Follow us on Twitter" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, join the conversation on our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PregnancyStoriesByAge" title="Like us on Facebook" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, circle us on <a href="https://plus.google.com/112802662826658836875" title="Circle us on Google Plus" target="_blank">Google+</a>.</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><span style="font-family:arial;">More "Pregnancy Over 40" blogs to visit:</span><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/" title="Life Begins...">Life Begins...</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp; help</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/" title="Pregnancy Stories by Age">Pregnancy Stories by Age</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>- Daily blog of hope &amp; inspiration!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;" href="http://youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com/" title="You Can Get Pregnant in Your 40's">You Can Get Pregnant in Your 40's</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Sharing articles, discussing options &amp; suggestions</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;" href="http://pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com/" title="Stories of Pregnancy and Birth over 44 years old">Stories of Pregnancy and Birth over 44 years old</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - sharing news stories I find online, for inspiration!</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36637731-6755784824998302911?l=youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14554083442487604235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637731.post-40841447700160450712012-01-19T09:00:00.004-05:002012-01-19T09:00:06.265-05:00Have you tried Traditional Chinese remedies or acupuncture?

By then, she had reaped enough professional and financial awards in the hospitality and tourism industry to call her own shots. She and her husband could afford a nanny when the kids were young.<br /><br />A few years ago, she left her position in the hotel business in Toronto and Vaughan – and all the travel and long hours it entailed – and moved with her family to Brockville, where she runs a retirement home.<br /><br />Though Dodge is still in a leadership role, she has the time and energy to get the kids to hockey and gymnastics and to help them with their homework. The family also has the money and freedom for vacations and other perks.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.parentcentral.ca/parent/babiespregnancy/pregnancy/article/1110596--workplaces-aren-t-always-prepared-for-older-mothers" title="Workplaces aren’t always prepared for older mothers" target="_blank">Read the rest of the article</a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >Photo credit: <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/profile/Nerian" title="Photo credit: Nerian" target="_blank">Nerian</a><br />All rights reserved</span><br /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><a style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/" title="Life Begins... - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope and help" target="_blank">Life Begins...</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp; help</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/" title="Pregnancy Stories by Age - Daily blog of hope and inspiration!" target="_blank">Pregnancy Stories by Age</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Daily blog of hope &amp; inspiration</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;" href="http://pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com/" title="Stories of Pregnancy over 44 years old - sharing news stories I find online, for inspiration!" target="_blank">Stories of Pregnancy and Birth over 44 years old</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - sharing news stories I find online, for inspiration!</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36637731-7815741174707152189?l=youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14554083442487604235noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637731.post-26594486637233787192012-01-09T09:00:00.000-05:002012-01-09T09:00:14.896-05:00<a href="http://www.parentcentral.ca/parent/babiespregnancy/pregnancy/article/1110529--the-costs-of-older-motherhood" title="The costs of older motherhood" target="_blank"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cpQneDj4sYk/TwXqCTVIzgI/AAAAAAAAOs0/nNvIsBT7D0Y/s320/Julie%2BMorris%2B59.png" alt="Julie Morris, 59, with her daughter Maggie Fisher, 18.

She also had her own first child at 38 and the second at 41.<br /><br />The trend is not surprising, says Goldberg. Women spend more time getting careers established these days. But when they do become pregnant at a later age, Goldberg finds, they are fully committed. <span style="font-style: italic;">“There are no feelings of ambiguity.”</span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.thestar.com/living/article/1108972--motherhood-after-40-meet-the-mid-life-mama?bn=1" title="Motherhood after 40: Meet the mid-life mama" target="_blank">Read the rest of the article...</a><br /><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><a style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/" title="Life Begins... - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope and help" target="_blank">Life Begins...</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp; help</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/" title="Pregnancy Stories by Age - Daily blog of hope and inspiration!" target="_blank">Pregnancy Stories by Age</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Daily blog of hope &amp; inspiration</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;" href="http://pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com/" title="Stories of Pregnancy over 44 years old - sharing news stories I find online, for inspiration!" target="_blank">Stories of Pregnancy and Birth over 44 years old</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - sharing news stories I find online, for inspiration!</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36637731-5688272981333278260?l=youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14554083442487604235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637731.post-68098801927004320362012-01-03T14:00:00.000-05:002012-01-03T14:13:36.411-05:00<a href="http://www.sxc.hu/profile/loserlady" title="Photo credit: loserlady" target="_blank"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Mq8I-wvQqjo/TwJlUlJBROI/AAAAAAAAOp0/YvtC2NyZ1Ng/s320/picture6.jpg" alt="Photo credit: loserlady" title="Photo credit: loserlady" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5693224283191461090" border="0" /></a><br />Sharing articles I find, discussing options you might consider and suggesting what might help.

So I translated them into percentages. I think it is all too easy to think of 1-80 as one in 80%, but it is not. 1-80 translates to 1.25 % for DS, or 98.75% chance of a normal child.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Maternal age as a risk factor for occurrence of Down Syndrome</span><br /><blockquote><strong></strong><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Age...Stats...Percentage DS...Percentage Normal</strong><br />36....... 1/200.......0.5% DS.............or 99.5% normal<br />37........1/150.......0.666667%DS.....or 99.333333% normal<br />38........1/120.......0.833333% DS....or 99.166667% normal<br />39........1/100.......1%DS...................or 99% normal<br />40........1/75 ........1.33333%DS........or 98.66667 % normal<br />41........1/60........1.66667%DS........or 98.33333 % normal<br />42........1/45........2.22222%DS.......or 97.77778 % normal<br />43.........1/35 .......2.85714% DS......or 97.14286 % normal<br />44.........1/30........3.33333% DS.....or 96.66667 % normal<br />45+.......1/20........5% DS ...............or 95% normal<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Source: </span><a href="http://udaan.org/downsynd/downgene.html" title="GENETICS OF DOWN SYNDROME" target="_blank"><span style="font-size:78%;">udaan.org/downsynd/downgene.html</span></a></blockquote><br />What I get from this is that the chances of having a baby with Down's Syndrome does not go up as drastically as I had originally thought. The one in whatever numbers makes things look very bad for us. When I translated them however to percentages, they look a lot better. We have a better chance of having a baby without Down's Syndrome. If I had an illness and was told I had a 95% chance of getting better, I would not plan my funeral. Would you?<br /><br />I think all too many doctors are giving misleading statistics for a couple of reasons. The first being that OB/GYN’s are the highest sued doctors in the US. So they pay the highest premiums. They do not want to take any chances of anyone saying they were not warned about DS so they push for Amnio’s. Second they get paid a lot to do Amnio’s. Unlike NT’s and Level Two sonograms, the OB/GYN that recommends them usually does them as well.<br /><br />I got a bill for my amnio because the hospital miss filed it as <em>“elective surgery”.</em> I cleared it up and did not have to pay. The total was about 10,000 US dollars. Six thousand of which was going to my OB/GYN alone. So money is a factor as well. Who do you think ends up paying that high insurance rate?<br /><br />NOTE: This article was written by my good friend Jillian from <a href="http://www.fertilityfriend.com/">FertilityFriend.com</a>:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" >Photo credit: <a href="http://www.sxc.hu/profile/pepoitana" title="Photo credit: pepoitana" target="_blank">pepoitana</a><br />All rights reserved</span><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><a style="FONT-FAMILY: arial" href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/" title="Life Begins... - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope and help" target="_blank">Life Begins...</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp; help</span></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:78%;" ><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/" title="Pregnancy Stories by Age - Daily blog of hope and inspiration!" target="_blank">Pregnancy Stories by Age</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Daily blog of hope &amp; inspiration</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial; font-weight: bold;" href="http://pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com/" title="Stories of Pregnancy over 44 years old - sharing news stories I find online, for inspiration!" target="_blank">Stories of Pregnancy and Birth over 44 years old</a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - sharing news stories I find online, for inspiration!</span></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36637731-4085341238051226295?l=youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14554083442487604235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637731.post-70513792027058913562011-10-03T09:29:00.002-04:002012-01-02T18:55:02.326-05:00<a href="http://www.sxc.hu/profile/ecahal" title="Photo credit: ecahal" target="_blank"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-VzL2NoZ8PFk/TwD_6Esrg4I/AAAAAAAAOhw/S-Vyh4nRMaE/s200/picture5.jpg" alt="Photo credit: ecahal" title="Photo credit: ecahal" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692831302154945410" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. </span>Find out exactly what your health insurance covers.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. </span>Explore your options for taking time off for medical appointments before the baby arrives and for parental leave after delivery<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. </span>Get a physical.

Improved pregnancy rates with decreased multiple rates through metabolomics. With metabolomics, embryo quality can now be evaluated non-invasively to more accurately measure their quality. In doing so, only the most viable embryo needs to be transplanted rather than multiple embryos, thus improving pregnancy rates while significantly reducing the instances of multiples through in vitro fertilization (IVF).<br /><br />2. Use of vitrification technology to successfully freeze eggs. One of the most exciting and long-awaited advances in fertility preservation is the ability to successfully freeze eggs via a technology called vitrification. Through vitrification, eggs are plunged in liquid nitrogen and instantly frozen, ensuring that this largely water-based cell does not form crystals that would expand and disrupt the egg’s membrane.<br /><br />Dr. Schnorr predicts that within the next three to four years about 25% of all fertility preservation will utilize vitrification.<br /><br />3. Improvement in the evaluation and treatment of severe male-factor infertility. Today 40 percent of infertility problems are attributed to the man. Procedures to improve the evaluation, risk assessment and treatment of severe male-factor infertility were discussed<br /><br /><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/prweb/20100503/bs_prweb/prweb3955034_2" target="_blank">Read more...</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 78%;"><a href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: arial;"><b>Life Begins...</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 78%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp; help</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 78%;"><a href="http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: arial;"><b>Pregnancy Stories by Age</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 78%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> - Daily blog of hope &amp; inspiration!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size: 78%;"><a href="http://pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: arial;"><b>Stories of Pregnancy over 44 years old</b></a></span><span style="font-size: 78%;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> - sharing stories I find online, for inspiration!</span></span></div><br /><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><i>Recent Keyword Searches: <a href="http://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&amp;client=firefox-a&amp;hs=14l&amp;rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&amp;channel=s&amp;q=until%20what%20age%20can%20a%20woman%20get%20pregnant&amp;meta=&amp;aq=0&amp;aqi=g1&amp;aql=&amp;oq=until%20what%20age%20can%20a%20woman&amp;gs_rfai=" target="_blank">until what age can a woman get pregnant</a>, <a href="http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&amp;q=how%20many%20times%20can%20ivf%20take%20at%2040%20to%20become%20pregnant&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;aql=&amp;oq=&amp;gs_rfai=" target="_blank">how many times can ivf take at 40 to become pregnant</a>, <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=40%20and%20wanting%20to%20get%20pregnant&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;redir_esc=&amp;ei=29fhS735BZy60gSHj4mcAg" target="_blank">40 and wanting to get pregnant</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;rlz=1T4GWYE_enUS253US253&amp;q=why%20cant%20women%20get%20pregnant%20through%20invirto" target="_blank">why cant women get pregnant through invirto</a>, <a href="http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;ct=res&amp;cd=1&amp;ved=0CA0QFjAA&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fyoucangetpregnant.blogspot.com%2F&amp;rct=j&amp;q=can%20ladies%20get%20pregrant%20at%20age%20of%2045&amp;ei=Y9XhS-_HL5260gSrhMCcAg&amp;usg=AFQjCNGswEJhR_pMB0oM7QE_DDaaXcVO1w" target="_blank">can ladies get pregrant at age of 45</a>, </i></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36637731-207121348700428261?l=youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14554083442487604235noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637731.post-51512540840456989392010-05-03T09:00:00.001-04:002012-01-03T14:33:49.145-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i7AaUxJ-fBA/S976vLjtSSI/AAAAAAAAI3g/PQoTwWW9BFQ/s1600/Dr.+Nelson.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i7AaUxJ-fBA/S976vLjtSSI/AAAAAAAAI3g/PQoTwWW9BFQ/s200/Dr.+Nelson.jpg" alt="Irregular Period - It Could Be More Than Just Stress" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467082686137714978" border="0" /></a>When a young woman's menstrual periods get out of whack — extra-long, extra-short or intermittent — she may just chalk it up to stress and ignore it. To even out monthly cycles, doctors often prescribe birth control pills, without doing much of an evaluation first. But both those approaches are a mistake, says gynecologist Lawrence Nelson, of the <span style="font-weight: bold;">National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.</span><br /><br />Nelson studies primary ovarian insufficiency, a disruption in reproductive hormones that affects 1 in 100 women by age 40.

I'm sure you already knew that, but it's probably the most important one we can talk about. I know from experience that a very stressful component at work is your manager.

If you can find another job, sometimes that's the best idea.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.bellaonline.com/articles/art11674.asp" target="_blank">Read more...</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/"><b>Life Begins...</b></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp;

Many of those newborns are twins. While some may see this as a double blessing, it is important to understand that there are many potential risks associated with multiple gestation. Statistics show that a higher percentage of twins are born prematurely. Premature birth can cause complications resulting in physical impairment, learning disabilities, and even death. In addition to the increased risk to the children born of multiple pregnancy, there is also an increased risk of complications associated with carrying multiples for the pregnant woman.<br /><br /><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.pacificfertilitycenter.com/">Pacific Fertility Center</a> has been taking steps to minimize the risk of multiple gestation for several years. <span style="font-style: italic;">"We have worked actively to increase pregnancy rates and decrease the number of multiples," </span>comments Carolyn Givens, M.D. "<span style="font-style: italic;">Balancing high pregnancy rates with low pregnancy risk improves pregnancy outcomes.

I was wondering if you could put me on here somehow so that readers are aware of my services.<br /><br />I am paid by the clinics I work with and patients are charged the same by the clinic whether they use my services or not.<br /><br />Apart from working in Harley Street and at St. Barts for 13 years, I have spent the last 6 years working at a clinic on the Costa del Sol. I now currently work with a clinic in Athens and another in Madrid. I plan, co-ordinate and generally oversee a patients cycle of treatment as well as providing pre, during and post treatment patient care.<br /><br />For more info on what I do, please have a look at my various websites below. I have also been a moderator on <span style="font-weight: bold;">Fertility Friends</span> for as long as I can remember and you will see many posts on there from past and new patients.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ivftreatmentabroad.com/">www.ivftreatmentabroad.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.ivfspain.com/">www.ivfspain.com</a><br /><a href="http://www.greeceivf.com/">www.greeceivf.com</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/"><b>Life Begins...</b></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp;

It is an often overlooked digestive disorder that causes damage to the small intestine when gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, is eaten.<br /><br />Infertility seems to be more common in women with untreated celiac disease. Other gynecological and obstetrical problems may also be more common, including miscarriages and preterm births.<br /><br />For men, problems can include abnormal sperm -- such as lower sperm numbers, altered shape, and reduced function. Men with untreated celiac disease may also have lower testosterone levels.<br /><br />The good news is that with proper treatment with a gluten-free diet and correction of nutritional deficiencies, the prognosis for future pregnancies is much improved.<br /><br /><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/02/23/can-foods-contribute-to-infertility.aspx" target="_new">Read more...</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/"><b>Life Begins...</b></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp; help</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/"><b>Pregnancy Stories by Age</b></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Daily blog of hope &amp; inspiration!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com/"><b>Stories of Pregnancy over 44 years old</b></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - sharing stories I find online, for inspiration!</span></span></div><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Recent Keyword Searches: </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;rlz=1T4ADBF_enUS285US286&amp;q=can%20i%20become%20pregnant%20during%20perimenopause" target="_blank">can i become pregnant during perimenopause</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;source=hp&amp;q=can%20a%2041%20year%20old%20woman%20get%20pregnant%3F&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;oq=" target="_blank">can a 41 year old woman get pregnant?</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&amp;hl=en&amp;rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENUS242&amp;q=what%20are%20the%20odds%20of%20someone%20over%2040%20getting%20pregnant%20naturally&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=&amp;oq=" target="_blank">what are the odds of someone over 40 getting pregnant naturally</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.bing.com/search?q=can%20you%20get%20pregnant%20at%2048&amp;first=11&amp;FORM=PORE" target="_blank">can you get pregnant at 48</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;source=hp&amp;q=how%20old%20can%20a%20woman%20get%20pregnant&amp;aq=f&amp;aqi=g1&amp;aql=&amp;oq=" target="_blank">how old can a woman get pregnant</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36637731-6505773313545601174?l=youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14554083442487604235noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637731.post-46303105580660884462010-02-24T09:00:00.003-05:002010-02-24T09:00:09.868-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i7AaUxJ-fBA/S4AaZGGLPrI/AAAAAAAAIDs/IlPr2niuBGQ/s1600-h/Got+the+flu+or+cold.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 143px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i7AaUxJ-fBA/S4AaZGGLPrI/AAAAAAAAIDs/IlPr2niuBGQ/s200/Got+the+flu+or+cold.gif" alt="Got a Cold and Trying to Get Pregnant - Be Careful About Medications" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440377368299126450" border="0" /></a>If you are pregnant or trying to conceive, could certain cold medications harm your baby or impact your chances of getting pregnant?<br /><br />Let’s break that question down into two parts and discuss the infertility aspects of it first.

If sperm tests show no specific problem areas, but borderline levels, general nutritional fertility support can help maximize quality and quantity." </span><br /><br />Adopting a diet rich in magnesium, antioxidants and low in saturated animal fats can help enhance male fertility, she added.<br /><br />According to the Office for National Statistics, in 2008, there were increases in fertility rates for all age groups compared to the previous year.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/newsarticle0_105363_10751_-1_10001" target="_new">Source</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://born2luv.blogspot.com/"><b>Life Begins...</b></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Miscarriage stories of loss, hope &amp; help</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://pregnancystories.blogspot.com/"><b>Pregnancy Stories by Age</b></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - Daily blog of hope &amp; inspiration!</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://pregnancyover44y.blogspot.com/"><b>Stories of Pregnancy over 44 years old</b></a></span><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"> - sharing stories I find online, for inspiration!</span></span></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Recent Keyword Searches: </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.ae/search?hl=en&amp;source=hp&amp;q=till%20what%20age%20can%20a%20woman%20get%20pregnant&amp;meta=&amp;aq=7&amp;oq=till%20what%20age" target="_blank">till what age can a woman get pregnant</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.com/search?client=ms-rim&amp;hl=en&amp;q=fsh%20is%2030%20can%20i%20still%20get%20pregnant&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;channel=browser" target="_blank">fsh is 30 can i still get pregnant</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.com.au/search?source=ig&amp;hl=en&amp;rlz=1W1SUNC_en&amp;q=can%20a%2045%20year%20old%20woman%20get%20pregnant%20with%20out%20ivf&amp;btnG=Google%20Search&amp;meta=lr%3D" target="_blank">can a 45 year old woman get pregnant with out ivf</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&amp;rls=en&amp;q=blog%20of%20people%2040%20years%20old%20that%20got%20pregnant%20naturally&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8" target="_blank">blog of people 40 years old that got pregnant naturally</a><span style="font-style: italic;">, </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;rlz=1T4DGUS_enUS311US311&amp;q=can%20women%20conceive%20at%2045" target="_blank">can women conceive at 45</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/36637731-7237451897136168931?l=youcangetpregnant.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Catherinehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14554083442487604235noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36637731.post-31825474161152992872010-02-22T09:00:00.000-05:002010-02-22T09:00:05.448-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i7AaUxJ-fBA/S4AX4k85giI/AAAAAAAAIDc/TiVtiVOPLrE/s1600-h/Obesity+tied+to+poorer+sperm+quality.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 144px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_i7AaUxJ-fBA/S4AX4k85giI/AAAAAAAAIDc/TiVtiVOPLrE/s200/Obesity+tied+to+poorer+sperm+quality.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440374610622775842" border="0" /></a>Studies have come to conflicting conclusions as to whether obesity impairs a man’s fertility.
