Study Says This Super Food Gives Sperm Super Powers!

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:07:00 +0000

If you're trying to get pregnant, make sure your hubby or partner chows down on plenty of salmon and tuna fish sandwiches. Why? A new study from the University of Illinois adds to a growing body of evidence that says DHA, a type of omega fatty acid found in fish, is essential for healthy baby-making sperm.Writing in the journal The Biology of Reproduction, experts say it works by helping to to turn round, immature sperm into a pointy-headed super swimmer with an extra long tail - and that means sperm that are much more likely to swim faster and penetrate an egg. "Normal sperm cells contain an arc-like structure called the acrosome that is critical in fertilization because it houses, organizes, and concentrates a variety of enzymes that sperm use to penetrate an egg," said Manabu Nakamura, a U of I associate professor of biochemical and molecular nutrition. His study is among the first to show that an essential fatty acid known as DHA is...

Holidays & Infertility: How To Get Through The Emotional Ups and Downs

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 19:01:00 +0000

“When you’re infertile and struggling to get pregnant, even the sight of a sidewalk Santa Claus can bring tears to your eyes. “ - Sarah S, fertility patient. by Colette Bouchez The stockings are hung by the chimney with care - and everywhere you look it seems the world is decorated just for children. Indeed, it's the holiday season - and there's almost no other time of the year when the concept of family is more prominent. And for most folks, a warm and loving family celebration - complete with the "kids" table - is the picture perfect postcard of what the holidays should be. But if you're trying to conceive - and especially if you're having a difficult time getting pregnant – this time of year, and the emphasis on family and children, might not make you feel much like celebrating. "Normally the holidays bring out all kinds of emotions in everyone - happy memories, sad remembrances - and...

Getting Pregnant In The Cloud: New Study Solves A Fertility Mystery

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 04:29:00 +0000

By Colette Bouchez Two new studies published this week in the journal Nature shed new light on causes of male infertility- and offer new evidence of how certain vitamins and minerals could make all the difference! Indeed, the research shows that just before fertilization, cells surrounding an egg release a "cloud" of the hormone progesterone, which in turn not only helps bring sperm to it's side, but also creates a chemical reaction allowing the tail of the sperm to beat wildly, helping it to penetrate the eggs outer shell and allow fertilizaiton to occur. What's more some experts say that in light of the new research, certain vitamins linked to progesterone production could play a vital new role in making sure an egg sends out the signal to sperm -and that it's strong enough to bring about the chemical reaction necessary for pregnancy to occur. To read more on this fascinating new...

Halting Premature Birth: Conflict Over Common Treatments

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 01:38:00 +0000

Two new studies question the use of traditional methods for reducing premature birth. Here's what you need to know .... By Colette Bouchez Two popular treatments currently used individually to prevent pre-term labor – folic acid and progesterone – may not, in fact, stop early births as once believed. That’s the news according to two separate studies recently presented at the annual meeting of the Society For Maternal Fetal Medicine in San Francisco. In the first study, a group of Norwegian researchers will present evidence that taking folic acid (the vitamin also known as B9) before and during pregnancy, does not protect against spontaneous, pre-term delivery as once thought. Indeed, in earlier American studies research suggested that taking folic acid before and during pregnancy could reduce the incidence of pre-term labor by up to 70%. Because, however, the study group was comparatively small, doctors worldwide questioned whether or not these results could be...

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month – and it packs a powerful message no woman can afford to ignore. Here’s what you need to know …By Colette Bouchez As we spin head first into a brand new year – and a brand new list of resolutions we’re eager to tackle- it’s easy to let some of life’s more mundane tasks slip by - especially health screenings. Which is one reason why health awareness months can serve such a strong and powerful purpose: They remind us of the importance of taking care of our health and move us in the direction of preventive care. If you’re a woman, never is this more true than it is right now during January, the month dedicated to cervical cancer awareness - a disease which, while it affects some 12,00 women a year, can be prevented! Indeed, with the help of 2 important cervical cancer screening tools – the Pap smear (which looks for abnormal cells within the cervix) and the HPV test ( which detects the human papillomavirus, the leading cause of cervical cancer )...

Relieving A Mother’s Guilt About Autism: The Cause Remains Unknown

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 22:56:00 +0000

An off handed comment by a researcher suggesting mothers who don't take good enough care of themselves might to be to blame for their child's autism touched off a firestorm of anger and rightly so. If you were one troubled by this week's report take heart: There is no evidence you should ever blame yourself. Here's what you must know ...

Danes Say Going Organic May Not Make You More Fertile

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 02:48:00 +0000

If you’re spending a ton of money on organic fruits and veggies listen up: A new study says traditionally grown products could be almost as good for your fertility . Here’s what you need to know. By Colette Bouchez The premise seems so obvious it’s hard not to believe it: Vegetables grown organically, without the use of pesticides or chemicals should be healthier and more nutrient dense. But at least according to one study, that’s just not true. In research presented this week in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, researchers from The Food Institute at the University of Denmark found that carrots, onions and potatoes grown under organic conditions generally contained no higher levels of antioxidants –among the key nutrients in veggies – or other healthful properties, than the same produce grown commercially, using pesticides and other chemicals to help them grow.According to Danish researcher Pia Knuthsen, there are certainly many good reasons to...

A new study found that a simple natural oil emulsion could be the key to a more successful IVF. Here’s what you need to know… By Colette Bouchez If a group of British researchers are right, improving your odds of a successful IVF – and reducing your risk of miscarriage - could be as easy as using a simple, inexpensive soy-based oil treatment one week prior to when your fertility procedure takes place. That’s the conclusion of some new research being presented later this week at the British Fertility Society Meeting in Dublin , Ireland on January 6th.Here researchers from Care Fertility, an IVF clinic in Nottingham, England will present evidence that an intravenous treatment using a prescription-only soy-based oil known as Intralipid prior to an IVF procedure , dramatically increases pregnancy success rates while reducing the risk of miscarriage.

New evidence suggests that mothers who take 3 key nutrients before and during pregnancy may give birth to smarter, healthier babies! Here’s what you need to know.

New Prenatal Test Promises a Safer Way To Detect Abnormalities

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 22:35:00 +0000

A groundbreaking new blood test promises to isolate potential genetic defects as early as the 9th week of pregnancy -without any risk to mother or baby. Here's what you need to know. By Colette Bouchez If a group of Hong Kong doctors are right, it may now be possible to map out an unborn baby’s entire genetic blueprint using just one tube of the mother’s blood – and do it as early as the 9th week of pregnancy. That’s the hope for a brand new blood test that promises to give parents the information they need about the health of their unborn baby, without the need for invasive testing that carries a risk of miscarriage. Indeed, at present the most common way to detect a fetal abnormality is a procedure known as amniocentesis. In this test – usually performed between the 15th and 20th week of pregnancy – doctors insert a needle into the mother’s abdomen to extract samples of the amniotic fluid surrounding the baby in the...

Could DHEA Be The Natural Fertility Wonder Drug?

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 00:24:00 +0000

A one-time controversial supplement, DHEA gained new status when a study found it could help older women make better eggs. Now new research shows it may cast an even wider net in helping women of all ages get pregnant. Here's what you need to know. By Colette Bouchez It was just a few years ago - 2005 to be exact - that a study published in the journal Fertility & Sterility found that supplements of a hormone known as DHEA (short for dehydroepianodrostone) could help older women undergoing IVF treatments make more and possibly better quality eggs. Now new research out of Israel shows it may not just be older women who can benefit from this supplement - but all women trying to get pregnant. In research conducted at Tel Aviv University in Tel Aviv, Israel led by Adrian Shulman, MD, doctors discovered that women who took supplements of DHEA before undergoing IVf treatments had triple the rate of pregnancy success compared to women...

"Not Yet Ready For Prime Time" Sperm

noreply@blogger.com (Colette Bouchez) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 20:07:00 +0000

Research sheds new light on why some men have fertility problems - and what can be done to turn things around! By Colette Bouchez While a great deal of the difficulty in getting pregnant is frequently focused on women, it’s important to remember that up to 50% of all fertility problems are male related. Now, two new studies offer important pieces in the male fertility puzzle, helping to sort out the reason why some couples may be having problems conceiving. Moreover, both new studies point to a defect in a protein involved in helping sperm to mature and grow as the key culprit. “Our study shows for the first time to our knowledge that [this protein]…. is associated with a strong impact on fertility outcome,” says lead study author Dr. Jessica Escoffier of the Grenoble Institute of Neuroscience, one of two locations where the independent research was conducted. Indeed, one of the major causes of male infertility is related to sperm which fail to fully develop. When this...

Birthing A Mother: New Book Sheds Light On Surrogacy

Lauersen Medical Director, GettingPregnantNow.org Are you having problems getting pregnant? Have you been told that you cannot carry a baby to term?

Getting Pregnant: Too Much Sex ...Or Not Enough?

noreply@blogger.com (GettingPregnantNow.Org) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 03:45:00 +0000

A new study challenges conventional wisdom on male fertility and how often to make love to get pregnant fast. Here's what you need to know. By Niels H. Lauersen, MD, PhD. Can making love too often help – or hurt – your chances of getting pregnant? That’s the question addressed by a brand new study on male fertility presented just last week at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology meeting this week in Amsterdam. It was here that Australian fertility expert Dr. David Greening presented some compelling evidence showing that the more often a couple has sex within a given 7 day period, the healthier a man’s sperm is likely to be. And while it seems to make common sense that the more times you make love, the greater your chances of “hitting the bulls eye” , it’s important to note that this new research goes against conventional fertility wisdom when it comes to male fertility, the frequency of intercourse and pregnancy success. Indeed, for many years...
