By Linda Golden

Since centuries ago, the art and often referred to as the health practice of acupuncture has been practiced in various countries mostly in Asia. This elucidates the grandeur as well as the complexity of pinning needles in different parts of the body for different reasons like pain relief and treatment of health issues. The basic effect of acupuncture on infertility is regulating blood pressure of the person done by proper stimulation of the central nervous system. It largely stimulates the production and release of endorphins that help inhibiting the pain and neurohormones and neurotransmitters that allow for the body to heal by itself.

Acupuncture on infertility is also considered as one of the effective treatments on different infertility concerns specifically imbalances on hormones. The levels of hormones are leveled accordingly through increasing blood flow on different vital organs as it regulates the body system. Moreover it also helps enhance the vital functions of the ovaries as well as follicles. Endometrium plays a major role in thickening the uterus lining and also benefits from acupuncture through increased blood flow. A particular infertility treatment like IVF or In Vitro Fertilization is also greatly aided in elevating its success rate. In reality, a large number of specialists now offer acupuncture as part of IVF treatment. This becomes quite noticeable in the developments done in the process of transferring the embryo which results to success in pregnancy. Another particular concern in infertility that can be treated with acupuncture as well is that of having spasmed tubes. This is simply done by making these spasmed tubes into de-spasmed ones. Futheron, there are also plenty of other infertility issues that can be effectively treated with acupuncture such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, increased follicle stimulating hormone, recurring pregnancy loss, idiopathic infertility, luteal phase defect, hyperprolactinemia, and also sperm DNA fragmentation.

Naturally, the body is capable of healing its self and acupuncture further enhances this capability. In this case, the more you treat yourself to acupuncture the healthier it is for you. Women who are to undergo IVF treatment or donor egg transfer, they are often subjected to acupuncture about 3 to 4 months before the said process. Acupuncture is recommended for women before and after they undergo embryo transfer. This is done for the purpose of enhancing the therapeutic effect along with different infertility treatments. Basically, fertility treatments bring about stress on the person undergoing it. And what is considered the best remedy for this is acupuncture. Because of the fact that acupuncture has many ways to add in the treatment of infertility, it is advisable for couples who suffer from this kind of concern to give every possible option a shot.

Acupuncture also has some risks but are very minimal. However, miscarriage can happen when acupuncture is done improperly on a pregnant woman. This makes it significant to ensure that acupuncture is only to be done by a certified acupuncturist who is really capable and specializes in that type of therapy. Electro-acupuncture is the advanced form of acupuncture that inhibits pain during labor. The need to be hospitalized is also significantly reduced which helps a person save from further expenses.

On top of all, recent researches have revealed that the right blend of herbal medicine, acupuncture, and traditional medications serve as the ultimate method in treating infertility. In most cases, acupuncture and herbal medicines are seen to be more effective through the aid of traditional medical interventions. - 33375

One day as the Woman was walking to the store she heard these screams "NO LORD PLEASE LORD NO" The tone of the screams took her back to the death of her child and she ran toward the sound of them. She saw the woman who was screaming and behind her she could see a building on fire, My Child is in there Screamed the woman! Pointing to the building engulfed in flames. Knowing the pain this woman would go threw and not wishing it on anyone she raced into the building.

But what of you asked the Mother you where not taken from me by a terrible person it was an accident why did the Lord take you from me. The Child smiled at her Mother and spoke Mother what you see as the most terrible thing ever is not. For I am in the Kingdom of the Lord and there is no greater reward then that ! My life on Earth was short Mother, I agree with you on that but Mother let me let you in on a little secret "All life on Earth is short" It is just a blink of the eye to the Father.

Loose Weight After Pregnancy

There are a a small number of ways that you can deal with this weight and let's go over them below.

When you are hauling around some extra weight with loose skin a wonderful way to get your stomach to stay is that of a tummy wrap. By doing this you will allow your abs to strengthen earlier as well as being able to hold the skin in close by to your body.

Drinking a lot of water can also aid you when you and also your skin to begin shrinking down to where it is supposed to be again.

About Pregnancy: Exercise And Your Baby

By Barbara P Manter

Just a few years ago, telling a woman that she can and should exercise while pregnant would have been met with weird looks and laughter. However, we now know that exercising during pregnancy is not only extremely beneficial to the mother, but to the baby's long-term health, as well.

Now most people are aware that exercising is beneficial to both mother and child during pregnancy. Not only do core exercises help women regain their original shape quicker, they also have statistically shorter labors with greater outcomes. So, the idea that working your core during pregnancy is harmful to the fetus has turned out to be a myth.

Another myth is that there is a specific heart rate that women should not exceed while exercising. In reality, each woman should talk to her doctor, and learn to listen to her body. You want to exercise at whatever pace is comfortable to you; just be careful not to over-exert yourself to the point of exhaustion.

Most importantly, keep your doctor informed of any decision you make about your body during pregnancy. If you plan on trying to lose weight by continuing an already established exercise regimen or by eating cleaner, let your doctor know so that he or she can take that into account on your check-ups. They may have you drop your intensity sometime in the third trimester depending on baby weight or position.

Another factor to keep in mind is body temperature. Remember that your baby is unable to regulate its own body temperature. Therefore, you want to be sure that you have proper warm up and cool down time to help regulate your baby's temperature, as well as your own.

While more and more mothers are running right up to the day of their labor, one type of exercise that you should keep to a minimum is stretching and flexibility. Due to an increase of a hormone called relaxin, which lubricates your joints, you will have an increased range of motion. The increased range of motion may lead to an increased risk of injury, so be cautious here.

Another area of caution is any exercise involving balance. This would include things like biking and roller-blades, as well as contact sports, for obvious reasons. You want to avoid these types of exercises while you are pregnant. While they may not hurt you, they are hazards for your unborn child.

Therefore, while there are still some myths surrounding pregnancy and exercise, the fact is that exercise is beneficial to baby and mother alike. Just remember to use common sense, listen to your body, and keep your doctor informed. - 33375

Get designer maternity clothes for your pregnancy!

If you're shopping in your local department store for designer maternity clothes, you won't find much to choose from, that's for sure.

They just have that extra little pizzazz to them that regular, off the rack jeans can't seem to carry off.

In the beginning stage of my pregnancy, I was able to continue wearing my low rise jeans and I just let them ride under my belly. I even bought a bigger size, too, but that only helped for another month. One of my friends suggested that I raid my husband's closet and try his jeans and, while they were comfortable, they just weren't my style. I might be pregnant, but that doesn't mean I have go give up my designer clothes. So I finally figured it was time to go on a search for designer maternity jeans.

Like I said, I wasn't able to find many decent maternity jeans in my local stores. Oh, I found a few here and there like at the Gap and Old Navy. But I wanted designer jeans, so I decided to try my luck and see what I could find on line. And I came across Sierra Maternity who just happens to have a huge selection of designer maternity jeans! And they even carry two of my favorite designers - Citizens Of Humanity and True Religion. Of course, they also carry maternity jeans by Rock & Republic, Hudson, and Paige, too.

When I looked further into their website, I found that they also carry all sorts of fabulous designer maternity clothes like Juicy Couture, Ingrid & Isabel, Bump Couture and ChiaraKruza maternity wear. They offer pants, skirts, short, tops, even coats and bathing suits, and all by fabulous designers.

As I continued to search I found a lot of other websites, too, that carried designer maternity clothes, like A Pea In The Pod. Now THAT website has a LOT to offer. So if you've got your heart set on designer maternity wear, don't give up. There are plenty of shops on line for you to find any designer you want. - 33375

Infertility Information

By Linda Golden

One of the greatest joys for a person is the ability to becoming a parent and sharing life with a child. Unfortunately it may not come true to some people who find it difficult to conceive. A lot of people experience infertility or the persistent inability to achieve conception and produce an offspring.

Studies say that majority of the cases of infertility deal with the women. They are main causes of the different conditions that women go through. The remaining cases of infertility are due to the males' sperm disorders and other unexplained causes. Proper and regular menstrual processes cause a woman to become pregnant once fertilization occurs. One of the most common causes of sterility is a problem with ovulation. Infertility can be caused by uterine problems, preceding tubal ligation and uterine problems among others.

A woman's age deeply affects her state of fertility. As a woman ages her ability to conceive naturally and normally decreases. As a rule, a woman loses approximately a thousand egg cells a month. Certain transmitter diseases, or PCO as well as endometriosis, are conditions that could eventually lead to infertility.

An other cause of female sterility is Pelvic Inflammatory Disease or PID. It is a severe inflammation of the pelvis caused by untreated vaginal or cervical infections such as gonorrhea or Chlamydia. These diseases can cause scarring in the fallopian tubes which subsequently causes a blockage when bacteria make its way through towards the uterus, ovaries and surrounding tissues. However, once PID has been successfully treated, pregnancy can often be achieved through in vitro fertilization

Another leading root of infertility is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). It is a hormonal disorder that causes a disruption in a woman's normal ovulation cycle. A woman with PCOS becomes sterile because of the inability to ovulate normally or regularly. It is possible to treat PCOS by correcting the body's hormone levels through a body's ability to absorb insulin.

If you're a couple hoping to conceive then you should keep an eye on the hormone levels in order to do so successfully. These hormones are created by the pancreas, ovaries , adrenal and thyroid glands. Any diseases that will affect any of these can lead to infertility.

Non medical reasons that cause infertility include the couple's lifestyles. There are several factors that can lead to a person to be sterile, these factors include smoking, too much alcohol consumption, the use of illicit medication, weight problems and so on.

Unsuccessful attempts to conceive can cause extreme stress for a couple who is trying really hard to do so. Not to mention that sometimes doctors are unable to pinpoint the problems. this is called unexplained fertility. Another way to take care of this is for the couple to try and not put too much pressure on themselves and try to get a better understanding of the woman's ovulation cycle in order to conceive successfully. The essential idea is to be as stress - free as possible. - 33375

Finding Plus Size Maternity Clothes For You!

By Robyn Rae

When I started shopping for Plus Size Maternity Clothes it quickly became apparent that I was about to become a celebrity. I was about to become famous. My face would be on the cover of fashion magazines and my name would be plastered in headlines around the world. People would come from near and far to stand in line for days on end just to get one look at me. Why, they might even give me some kind of title or even a crown. I'd be treated like royalty. Because apparently, by the looks of the maternity clothes I was finding in the shops, only women who are size 14 or smaller get pregnant!

When I found out I was pregnant, I didn't expect, at size 20, to be able to just walk into any store and find an enormous selection of plus size maternity clothes. I mean, it's hard enough finding decent plus size clothes when you're not pregnant. Manufacturers are only just beginning to realize that there are a lot of us plus size women out here and we'd like to look fashionably in something other than a tent or a caftan. But when I started looking for plus size maternity clothes I didn't expect to find nothing at all. I mean, what do these people think? Do they think that nobody gets pregnant if they wear a size larger than 14?

The good news is that, while plus size maternity clothes may still be difficult to find at the mall or your neighborhood department store, there are more and more resources available online. Shops like 2Chix.com, Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug, Motherhood.com, and even Old Navy are increasing the styles they offer to plus size pregnant women. These online retailers realize that life doesn't stop if you're not a size 12.

When shopping on line for plus size maternity clothes, make sure to keep your measurements in mind and allow plenty of room for growth. You may be a size 18 at the beginning of your pregnancy, but chances are, as your pregnancy progresses, you may gain another size. Most maternity clothes are made to allow for this increase, but, as we plus size women know, in our sizes the manufacturers don't always follow all the norms.

Fortunately for pregnant women, no matter what the size, clothing with an empire waist has come back in style. I used to hate these baby doll dresses and shirts because I thought they made me look pregnant, but they're a staple in my closet now. With some of the baby doll shirts I have, I like to tie a ribbon or sash just under the bust line to highlight my baby bump but usually they work as a fashionable statement all by themselves. And I found a beautiful black dress with an empire waist for the holidays. I sewed a bright red ribbon along the empire seam line that drew lots of attention to my belly and you wouldn't believe the number of compliments I received on that dress. My pregnant friends are always asking to borrow it.

When shopping for plus size maternity clothes, just like any other time in your life, shop wisely and get yourself a couple of really nice pieces that you can mix and match with other items in your wardrobe. Even us plus size girls need a closet full of maternity clothes! - 33375

Make Sure You Are Healthy Before Trying To Get Pregnant

By Natasha Marryat

Trying to get pregnant is something that many couples go through. For some it comes easily and for others it takes that little more time. What ever your fertility levels you need to make sure that you prepare even before you are pregnant so that your baby has the best chance to develop well in the womb and that you are physically prepared for the next 9 months.

The food and nutrients that you put in your body are very important when you want to create a new life. This will prepare both your body for the future as well as make sure that your body can give all that is necessary to have a healthy baby.

The first is folic acid. This is important as it helps prevent against disabilities such as spinabifida and it will make sure that the nervous system of the foetus, which is one of the first things to develop is given a boost for healthy growth.

Even food manufacturers have caught on to this, which is why a lot of cereals and other foods now have folic acid put into them. You should not just assume that this is the case though and should still take supplements if like many you do not have a varied diet.

The second is zinc. This is something that should be taken by the father of the baby, as it will help to make sure the sperm is as healthy as possible. It is not only the woman who should take care of herself before a baby is conceived. It is just as important that a man too is in good shape.

Selenium is not as widely known as the other nutrients although it is just as important. It can help you to conceive a lot quicker than you would without it. It can be taken as a supplement but can also be take in your diet if you include foods that contain it like Brazil nuts. Meats also contain it as do fish and eggs.

Omega 3 has been widely publicised in the past decade as it promotes healthy brain function, as well as helping some children and teenagers to improve their concentration. This is just as important before a baby is conceived as it will help the brain develop in the womb, as well as helping to regulate a woman's hormones.

Although the things you need for a healthy pregnancy can be in the foods that we eat and can buy easily it seems that due to many of us not having the time to cook from scratch and we tend to go for foods that are convenient rather than those that are better for us. Don't dismay though as you can still get all you need and there are vitamins available for both men and women.

If you drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes or something stronger then you should be aware that these can cause problems during pregnancy and after the baby is born. If you can, give up these bad habits before you decide it is time to try to conceive as it will give your baby a better start, and not only this it will also mean that you are healthier.

Making sure that before, during and after pregnancy you are in the best health will pay off as your baby will pick up good habits from you as well as being less likely to suffer from ailments and disabilities that other children do. Remember that your dynamic duo will become three so you have to make time for you both so that the relationship remains healthy. - 33375

How Do I Get Pregnant? 3 Steps Guaranteed to Help You Get Pregnant Fast.

By Claire Churchill

How Do I Get Pregnant? This is perhaps one question on your mind if you have been trying to conceive for some time and nothing seems to be happening.

Did you know that several factors contribute to how you get pregnant and even if you did "everything right" your chances of getting in any one month is about 25% to 30%?

So in answer to your question, "How Do I get Pregnant?" below are 3 vital steps and by using them you will greatly increase the odds of you getting pregnant in any one month.

1. Know Your Fertile Days Of The Month.

For the next few months keep a record of your menstrual flow. The goal is to get to a point where you can pin point with great accuracy the day you are likely to ovulate in a month.

The day you ovulate is when you ovary releases an egg and that egg has to be fertilised within the next 24 hours otherwise it disintegrates and is shed in your monthly cycle.

There are several ways of predicting your ovulation dates.:

1. the Cervical Mucus Method (CM),

2. The Basal Body Temperature (BBT)

3. The Use of ovulation kits.

2. If you sincerely want to answer the question "How Do I get Pregnant" then you have to avoid Any Form Of Lubrication.

Are you aware that virtually all store bought lubricants, including the human saliva kill sperm? So lubricants like Vaseline, vegetable oils, petroleum jelly and glycerine are a no no for now.

Alternatively you can use raw egg whites as a lubricant. They are not only cheap but they also support those "little swimmers" on their journey!

3. Go Easy on the Vitamin C, research has shown that too much vitamin c decreases your cervical fluid.

Taking some vitamin C (in small doses) is actually a good idea, because it helps to improve the quality and quantity of your cervical fluid and this will in turn increase your fertility.

Your cervical fluid is important for moving your partner's sperm to your cervix and on to your uterus, where it will eventually meet up with your egg.

But too much vitamin C can have the opposite effect on your fertility. It can cause cervical fluid to dry up and without it to transport your partner's sperm to where it is needed you can kiss getting pregnant goodbye.

You should never take doses larger than 1,000mg while trying to conceive even in the cold winter months

In answer to your burning question, How do I get pregnant, we have looked at 3 things you can do right away that will help you get pregnant fast but it is virtually impossible to discuss everything you need to know in one single article. - 33375

Important Prenatal Vitamins to Take: Folic Acid, Iron and Vitamin A

By Natasha Marryat

"Is it always recommended to take prenatal vitamins?" "Is taking medicine dangerous for pregnant women?" "Does it have any side effects?" These are some of the questions that bother pregnant women today. To note, pregnancy is one of the most significant events that a woman has to experience in her life. Not to mention of course, the thrill and excitement it brings.

Is eating the right kinds of foods already enough for a pregnant woman? Think twice. Experts discovered that pregnant women taking prenatal vitamins are healthier and that also includes their child.

Many fertility experts recommend that if possible, pregnant women should not limit themselves in eating foods only. It is also advised that women should take prenatal vitamins. This is not to replace the nutrients, but instead, supplement the other nutrients present inside the body.

Folic acid is one of the most important prenatal vitamin a pregnant woman has to take. This vitamin,which is a member of the B family helps for a strong pregnancy and healthy fetal development. This vitamin is important is reducing the risk of birth and neural tube defects. Example of a neural tube defect is spina bifida which is the most common. It is then recommended that women should take folic acid even before pregnancy. The required folic acid intake is 200 micrograms (mcg).

Two separate studies in 1991 and 1996 found out that folic acid can help prevent neural tube defects, urinary tract and cardiovascular defects. Deficiency folic acid will lead to low birth weight and increased incidence of neural tube defects.

Another necessary prenatal vitamin is iron. Iron is the main component of hemoglobin which is the part of the blood that carries oxygen. Thus, iron is important in the transportation of oxygen in the body of the pregnant woman and that of the unborn child. Iron enhances the baby's healthy growth and helps the mother maintain a healthy body as she gives birth to a baby.

There are many things Vitamin A can do. First, it can help in developing the embryo,cells and tissues. Second, it fights infections and repair damaged tissues. Third, it can also help in lactation which is done during breastfeeding. Lastly, it develops other parts of the body such as the eyes, heart, skin and mucous membranes. These are the reasons why Vitamin A is essential for pregnant women.

Thus, intake of prenatal vitamins is truly essential for women not only during pregnancy but onwards. And what's best about it is knowing that you have also imparted a healthy life to your child. - 33375

Watch Out For Signs Of Infertility

By Linda Golden

Infertility has become a common issue among a lot of women. Generally symptoms are not noticeable unless a person is made aware of it. Infertility varies and has several types with different signs and symptoms among women, and it can also affect her partner.

It is advised to see a doctor if a woman has failed countless times in the process of getting pregnant. A more acceptable case would be having unprotected intercourse for up to two years averaging to two or three times a week. In this case, seeing with the couple's OBGYN is required to seek possible solutions for their problem with fertility. After being diagnosed with infertility the couple is then sent to a specialist for medical treatment options.

An irregular menstrual cycle is by far the most common sign of infertility. However, an irregular menstrual cycle does not directly point to infertility as it can also be a sign of various health problems. A woman's overall health status can be a directly related to a sign of infertility. Being too thin can also lead to lack of the needed nutrients which can make the problem even worse. A woman's reproductive system can be directly affected by hormonal problems in the case of obesity. Unhealthy lifestyle practices like alcohol and substance abuse also cause infertility. A woman's ability to conceive can be worsen by these factors. Basically, the overall capability of the body to work normally is greatly affected with the woman's abuse of drugs and other substances. These women are more susceptible to having infertility problems.

Aside from women, infertility can also affect men. It can in fact have some physical symptoms in men. The most popular sign of infertility in men is having undescended testicles. Outside factors also play a vital role in the development of infertility for men. If a man wears tight jeans or tight underwear it could cause him the inability to produce adequate sperm. The exposure of the scrotum to heat can cause infertility problems.

Couples in general tend to share the same signs of health problems. A couple's reproductive capability can be affected by factors such as obesity and the abuse of certain substances. These factors can directly affect a man's ability to produce the potent sperm needed for reproduction.

It is necessary to first make sure that infertility is indeed the problem of the couple and the best way of dealing with it is by means of taking all the necessary steps during intercourse during the woman's ovulation period. This can be simply accomplished by finding out the body temperature through by usign an ovulation kit. Something that is often regarded as a direct cause for infertility is not being able to to have intercourse at the right time. - 33375

Why Can't I Get Pregnant? - Answers To Your Question

By Natasha Marryat

Put yourself in this situation. You have a wonderful career, a supportive, loving husband and you are in your mid-20s. You are finally in a place where you want to start a family by having a baby. You start trying to get pregnant but then one year passes, then two, and then five years. You are not successful. You have not been able to get pregnant with your child. This is when you will start asking yourself why you are not getting pregnant. You might think that there is something wrong with you.

What is the answer? It could be yes, but it could also be no. This question is on the minds of many women who find themselves in a seemingly endless waiting game when all they want is to become pregnant. Society doesn't help at all, when the expectation is still for women to have children and live the life of a mother. To some extremely conservative people, a woman who cannot have children is seen as not fulfilling her purpose in life. In extreme cases, some women are alienated from their families and communities because of this one simple issue. Different explanations exist for the inability to conceive. A few of these reasons are listed below:

-Drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes - It is no secret, and studies have been completed to prove the fact, that drinking and smoking interfere with the ability to become pregnant. The reason for this is alcohol and smoking decrease the amount of estrogen in a woman's body. Nutritional levels needed to prepare the body for pregnancy can be affected by the chemicals in alcohol and cigarettes. By the same token, a man's sperm count is reduced by excessive drinking and smoking, and this can cause problems when a woman is trying to become pregnant.

*Use of contraceptive pill- Many women nowadays are using the most affordable and most accessible method of contraceptive, and these are pills. This is usually taken by women who want to control their number of children. And when the time comes that they are now ready for pregnancy, they encounter difficulties. Why is this so? Pills have effect on one's system and if you did not take it for a long time, it might be that your body is still undergoing hormonal changes that reacted once you are taking the pills again.

~A lot of stress: The fast paced society that we live in can be very hard to keep up with. There is a lot of stress that comes along with a busy working life. Lifestyle diseases affect people in First World countries because of the major stress that people have to deal with. Many women cannot get pregnant because of the stress in their lives. After a long day of work a lot of couples do not want to have sex because they are too tired. And when the itch to make love actually hits the couple it probably is not the right time in the ovulation cycle. When a woman is at the peak of her ovulation cycle it is the best time to have sex.

*Age- As the woman grows older (let's say 35), the eggs and hormones necessary for fertilization may be lesser. This is also true for men who are in their 40's, causing male infertility. Remember, a woman's age will not only affect the frequency of the ovulation but also its quality.

-Medical Problems - Thyroid conditions and undiagnosed diabetes are two fairly common health conditions that can make getting pregnant even more difficult. - 33375

Trying To Conceive - 5 Signs That Signal Your Ovulation Period

By Beth Vardah

When you are trying to get pregnant it is very important to know when you are ovulating. You will want to take full advantage of your ovulation's time since it only happens for 24 hours every month. It becomes a problem when women do not know their ovulation cycle. There are even some women who do not know how important this is. In order to improve a couple's odds of conception this article will explain the five signs that a woman is ovulating.

Lutenizing Hormone, or LH, is at a High

This is the best way for a woman to know if she is ovulating. When your luteinizing hormone spikes you will know that you have about 30 hours before you will ovulate. I like to think of it as how the clouds roll in before a storm. You can get LH ovulation test sticks which will show you when your luteinizing hormone is higher in your urine.


Rise of Basal Body Temperature (BBT)

During ovulation there is an increase in progesterone levels which in turn heats up the body. This temperature rise signifies the start of you ovulation and will last until the start of your period. So, if you miss your chance to conceive this month, you will have a way to determine when your next ovulation period will take place. The best way to measure your basal temperature is during in the morning just before you get out of your bed. Although there are special thermometers specifically made for this, an ordinary thermometer will do the trick. Remember to keep a chart of your basal body temperature so that it will be easier for you to spot the increase next time.

Tenderness and Sensitivity of the Breast

Your progesterone hormones will rise when you are ovulating. Because of this your breasts will become tender and sensitive as well as the nipples just like they would during your menstrual cycle.

Changes in Cervical Mucus Fluid

Your cervical fluid will change when you approach the point of ovulation, due to the increase in different hormones, like estrogen. You will notice a greater amount of mucus as well as a change in its consistency. It will become very thin and won't be as tacky as it normally is, which is why it is important to pay close attention. The color shouldn't change much but it may become more clear than it normally is.

Changes is your cervix.

The vagina and uterus is connected by the cervix. As a woman approaches her ovulation period the cervix becomes more soft and moist. The opening to the cervix will open up and its tip will begin to lift. All these descriptive terms are relative, so it is required that you keep track of the openness, texture, and position of your cervix during your cycle.

Keeping track of when you are ovulating is not always the easiest thing but it can help you get the baby you've always wanted. You need to know when you are fertile because that is half the battle of getting pregnant. - 33375

Natural Remedies To Help With Morning Sickness Relief

By Julie Ingham

It is unknown as to why morning sickness relief happens to begin with. But there are several ideas why. There are rapidly changing chemicals in your body such as estrogen and progesterone that enhance smells and belly acid. Then there is stress and fatigue that will surely come with just being pregnant that is more than capable of keeping you sick.

The progesterone works by relaxing your bodies muscles. It also affects the uterine muscles and that helps with preterm labor. So there is the chance that the stomach which is a muscle also could be adversely affected.

Another widely accepted idea is a buildup of hCG that is human chorionic gonadtopin. This build up happens until about the twelfth week of pregnancy and at this point this hormone begins to decrease.

Studies find that women who get sickness like morning sickness have fewer miscarriages. But no one knows if either are right in the first place, but then again women were always a mystery. Regardless there are things that seem to help. And if they help it really does help it dont matter why.

You can avoid getting to warm because that seems to make it worse. Avoid getting to tired by taking naps trough the day. Eat plain crackers or maybe dry cereal before you get out of bed in the morning. Dry foods usually help with nausea. Lessen the smells around you by opening windows and use exhaust fans when you are cooking. And you could always use a microwave because that usually makes less smells.

You can keep smells around you that will over power the offensive smells like lemons. Stay away from spicy foods, now if you have cravings its probably for a reason so give into them. Your body seems to know if it is lacking in anything. And you can stay away from liquids when you are trying to eat, less of a chance of getting overloads of acid on your belly. - 33375

PCOS and Infertility - The Truth About it

By Linda Golden

If you suffer from infertility, you should be tested for PCOs and try to find out if that is what is preventing you from getting pregnant; if it is, there are a few steps you can take to overcome the issue but make sure you get a safe diagnosis by a certified practitioner.

The PCOS ca be diagnosed with a blood test to indentify the presence of male hormones and an ovarian ultrasound is also necessary; don't just rely of the fact that you have irregular menstruation, go for a full exam.

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the condition that has been affecting a number of women with their menstrual cycle and hormone levels, that eventually leads to the distress in the fertility and even physical appearance. From the construction of this medical condition, it is spelled out as many cysts in the ovary of women, hence Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

PCOS and infertility are directly related to your insulin resistance - insulin is responsible for the communication between your reproductive system and your pituitary gland, thus being the one in charge of letting your brain release the necessary hormones into your blood stream. Such hormones are what make your ovulation regular or irregular and that is why PCOS and infertility are two related ailments; if your case is lack of insulin, you will need to get proper replacement of that substance thru an insulin therapy.

So here's the problem with PCOS and Infertility. The excess male hormones that is produced with PCOS are affecting the growth and production of estrogen, or female hormones, which are necessary for ovulation. So this causes women with PCOS unable to produce the necessary amount of hormones to get the follicles to mature.

In sum, when your insulin levels are not normal, your reproductive system does not work well, and your brain cannot communicate well with your reductive organs, thus the direct connection between infertility and PCOs.

A solution? Glucophage or metformin have shown good results for many patients and have been responsible for regulating many menstrual cycles and ovulation cycles around the world; the success rate is around 20% in these cases; another successful treatment available for PCOS and infertility is the Clomid as it induces ovulation, by "fighting" the estrogens levels in your blood, thus making it easier for you to ovulate. This treatment has shown very few side effects but it must be followed thru with care because high doses of it can cause problems in your uterus.

It is very important that you get a reliable diagnosis and to inform yourself on this issue, only after a certified diagnosis has been made, can you start on a proper treatment. - 33375

Reasons for Infertility in Men and Women

By Casey Fields

Most all infertile couples will try many different ideas in order to have a baby. What's disheartening in the whole affair is just figuring out the reason for infertility. Knowing why is the key in having any chance of a successful pregnancy.

For women, infertility is caused by several things. Ovulatory problems are one of the foremost causes of infertility in women. Ovulation is when a woman's egg becomes mature with the aid of hormones. When some factors like producing too much androgen, stress, or premature aging of ovaries happen, ovulatory dysfunction occurs. Hypothyroidism or hypothyroidism, abnormal ovarian development or prolactin can also be factors in making ovulatory problems happen in women.

Other reasons for infertility in women are endometriosis, scarred or damaged fallopian tubes and presence of uterine tissue in the lower abdomen. Once a woman is diagnosed with any of these conditions, she will soon be subjected to a battery of standard diagnostic tests.

In Men, it is either limited or abnormal sperm that is the culprit reason for infertility. And finally there are many unknown reasons why some couples just can not get pregnant. To address this, many methods have been created for these different infertility factors.

Some of the methods made available to the infertile couple are artificial insemination by husband, surgery and in vitro fertilization. Hormone therapy is also another type of option that the woman can receive if she is having ovulation induction and other forms of assisted reproductive technologies.

Sometimes a women's body itself works against the reproductive process by producing anti-sperm antibodies. These antibodies seek out and kill the mans sperm.

Commonly known as an "allergy to sperm", these anti-sperm antibodies cause the women's body to think its allergic to the man's sperm. And women aren't the only ones with this strange condition. Men can even be allergic to their own sperm. Treatment for this condition can increase the changes for an infertile couple to get pregnant. This treatment for this condition is called intra-cytoplasmic sperm injection.

The cost of treatment for infertility can be great. Depending on a couples financial capacity could determine the outcome. Other issues outside of monetary ones are family medical history. But the biggest obstacle in most case is simple cost.

If a couple can't get pregnant naturally, trying assisted reproductive means is always a viable alternative. And finally, If after all options are exhausted, and the reasons for infertility are still unknown or just financially out of reach, there is always surrogacy or adoption. - 33375
