Causes of Infertility
Infertility is a problem with the reproductive system that results in the inability of a man or woman to achieve a pregnancy or of a woman to carry a pregnancy to live birth. The accepted definition within the medical profession is the absence of conception after at least one year of regular in*******se without birth control. Regular in*******se refers to in*******se at least two to three times per week. The term is also used to cover women unable to carry a pregnancy to term because of miscarriage
Infertility is not sterility, which is the term used to mean conception is not possible under any circumstances. Infertility is not a new disease or condition, but it appears as if there has been an increase in infertility rates in the past few decades. Some factors that may relate to this increase include an increase in the age of women wanting to conceive, an increase in the spread of s*xually transmitted diseases, and the rise in the level of toxic chemicals in our environment. Infertility does affect people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds, socioeconomic groups, and both s*xes.

Egg donation

For certain medical reasons (in cases of premature ovarian failure, absence of ovaries, premature menopause, genetic disorder, women over 40 years of age with elevated FSH, or for women with little or no response to ovarian stimulation), there are women who have to find an egg donor because their follicles are not able to grow anymore and they cannot produce eggs.

As it was mentioned above, in such cases eggs are retrieved from another, healthy woman (donor) and then fertilized with a donor’s s***m/or the patient’s husband’s s***m, and the embryos conceived are then transferred into the infertile woman’s uterus. It is this procedure that is called an egg donation.

This method can also be used in cases when the ovaries have been removed and when there is a high risk of transmitting genetic diseases to the child. Egg donation can only be prescribed by specialists.
When can it be prescribed?

Indications for egg donation can be absolute and relative.

Absolute indications include such diagnoses as:

undeveloped ovaries;
absence of ovaries;
disfunction of ovaries.

Relative indications:

premature menopause;
inefficient early IVF attempts.

Right Surrogacy Professional

Now that you know more about each surrogacy professional, how do you decide which one is right for you?

First off, do your research on each professional before you even contact them. Do they offer the services that you want and need?

Once you decide to interview that professional, here are some good questions to ask:

How is your organization licensed and regulated?
How long have you been offering surrogacy services?
What services are included when I work with you? What services are outsourced to another professional?
What requirements must your clients meet (location, type of surrogacy, etc.)?

Who you choose as your surrogacy professional will greatly impact how your surrogacy progresses, so make sure that you’ve found the perfect professional for you before moving forward. With the right professional, your surrogacy process will be more likely to go as smoothly and be as stress-free as possible.

Deciding Who to Tell about Your Surrogacy

You will want to share varying amounts of surrogacy information with different people. There are certain people who will need to know the details of the surrogacy, including your immediate family members and other close friends in your surrogacy support system. You may want to begin telling these close friends and family members during your decision-making and planning process, as they can provide needed support during the initial stages of the medical process and pregnancy. You may wait to tell other friends and acquaintances until a healthy pregnancy is confirmed.

Surrogacy is a fascinating topic and one that nearly everyone seems to have an opinion about. When explaining your surrogacy decision, it may be helpful to walk through your decision-making process and emphasize that it was a carefully thought-out choice that will be beneficial for the intended family as well as your own. You should feel proud of your decision to become a surrogate, and it should be a story you feel confident talking about with friends and family members.

However, when it comes to strangers you meet in the grocery store or at the gym, it usually isn’t necessary to explain your surrogacy decision or the process, or even that you’re a surrogate at all — but that likely won’t stop them from asking questions about your pregnancy.

About ovulation
What is ovulation?
Each month, your body prepares for a possible pregnancy by releasing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), causing eggs to mature in individual follicles located in your ovaries. Each follicle produces estrogen, another hormone, which must reach a certain level for ovulation to occur. When enough estrogen has been produced -- usually 12 to 18 days after the cycle begins -- a ripened egg, smaller than the head of a pin, bursts from the most mature follicle. The release of the egg is known as ovulation.
The buildup of estrogen in your follicles stimulates a surge of a third hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH). Within 24 hours of your LH surge, the egg emerges from its follicle and is immediately swept into the fallopian tubes. Meanwhile, the empty follicle -- now called the corpus luteum -- begins to produce yet another hormone, progesterone, which prevents the release of other eggs for the duration of the cycle. The corpus luteum functions for 12 to 16 days, after which your progesterone level drops and the cycle begins again.

Can I tell when I'm ovulating?
About a fifth of all women experience lower abdominal pain, known as mittelschmerz, when ovulation occurs. Breast tenderness or discomfort is also common. Most women have a vaginal discharge that is clear and somewhat elastic (try stretching it between two fingers) in the days leading up to ovulation. Ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) detect the LH surge that precedes release of the egg, while charting your basal body temperature (BBT) can be used as a marker for ovulation.
What happens to the egg after ovulation?
That depends on whether or not fertilization occurs. If the egg is fertilized within a few hours of its release, it will spend the next week or so traveling through the fallopian tubes to the uterus, where it will burrow into the uterine lining and begin the amazing process of developing into a baby. If the egg is not fertilized, it will disintegrate after about 12 to 24 hours and either get reabsorbed into the body, or pass out with the menstrual flow.

Who Should See a Specialist?
Couples seek specialized fertility treatment for many reasons, but there are some general factors that they (and their doctors) typically weigh:

A woman under 35 has been unable to get pregnant after one year of regular, unprotected in*******se.
A woman has had a history of three or more miscarriages.
A woman needs microsurgery or treatment for endometriosis or a blockage or scarring of her fallopian tubes.
A woman who ovulates irregularly (or not at all) hasn't responded to previous drug treatment.
A couple has a known risk factor, such as a history of ge***al infections or pelvic inflammatory disease, a mother (a mother who took diethylstilbestrol, a synthetic form of estrogen, during pregnancy), irregular periods, undescended testicles, etc.
A man's semen analysis shown a low s***m count, poor motility (movement), or poor morphology (structure).
A couple is considering assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or gamete intrafallopian transfer.
A couple has "unexplained infertility" (their basic tests have come back normal, but they haven't had luck in conceiving.

Available Surrogacy Situations
For many intended parents, looking for a surrogate mother is one of the most exciting, yet overwhelming, steps in the surrogacy process.

Many surrogacy professionals maintain an “available surrogacy situations” page to help prospective intended parents find a surrogate mother who has been screened and is ready to proceed with the surrogacy process. Intended parents who have completed the necessary screening process and are looking for a surrogate mother may be able to immediately enter into a match through these surrogacy situations.

Individuals and couples looking for a surrogate mother often must meet certain agency requirements before inquiring about an available surrogacy situation. Generally, prospective intended parents must have a completed in-home assessment and background clearances before an agency will match them with a prospective surrogate.

If you contact a surrogacy professional about an available situation, you may have an opportunity to review the prospective surrogate’s profile. The professional may also collect information about you to share with the prospective surrogate.

Once both parties are interested in moving forward, you will have an opportunity to get to know each other better before continuing with the surrogacy process.

How Long Does It Take to Get Pregnant?
No two people are the same, but we can tell you how factors such as age, birth control, weight, substance abuse, medication, and stress may prolong your ability to conceive.
There is no one size fits all strategy for getting pregnant, which means it’s difficult to determine how long it could take any given person to conceive. If you are having trouble getting pregnant, you’re not alone or hopeless—this is a lot more common than you may realize.
Even if you’re in the small percent of women who conceive during their first cycle, one must remember pregnancy doesn’t begin the day you have s*x. Planned Parenthood explains it can take up to six days for the s***m and egg to form a fertilized egg and six to 10 days for the fertilized egg to implant into the uterus. Pregnancy officially begins once the hormones needed to support a pregnancy are released.
Now that we have determined that our timeline begins 12-16 days after s*x if successful the first go, lets deep dive into some common variables that could prolong conception.
1. Age
2. Birth Control
3. Heavy Use of Alcohol and Smoking
Smoking: Not only is smoking linked to fertility issues but it also induce early menopause, damage to your cervix and fallopian tubes. Drinking: Heavy drinking can also cause an increased risk of ovulation disorders which affect the release of eggs from the ovaries—this means women who drink heavily can increase how long it takes them to conceive.
4. Weight
Being both over and underweight can negatively affect a woman's ovulation. Fat cells can produce some estrogen. So, when you are overweight, more estrogen than needed can affect ovulation regularity. While in the other direction, being significantly underweight can cause a lack of estrogen production throwing ovulation off balance as well.
5. Stress
It’s well known that stress can change a woman’s cycle.

What must Mums know about Car-Seat Mistakes?
Of course you'd do anything to protect your children, including buckling them into a car safety seat every single time you get in a vehicle. But for many families, that's simply not enough.
Dangerous Driving Mistakes Moms Make
1. Using the wrong size seat at the wrong age
2. Switching a rear-facing seat to front-facing too soon
3. Switching from a front-facing seat to a booster seat too soon
4. Switching from a booster seat to a seatbelt alone too soon
5. Not positioning the seat where you can get the tightest fit
6. Using lower anchors incorrectly
7. Using both lower anchors and the seat belt—you should choose just one type of installation method.
8. Not using the top tether for a front-facing seat. The top tether is critical whether you're using a seat belt or lower anchors.
9. Continuing to use lower anchors when your child has surpassed the weight limit
10. Not fastening the harness straps securely enough or in the correct position

Don't put your children at risk the next time you head for the grocery store, Grandma's, or the zillions of other places you transport them daily.

Sugar and Kids
Most parents want their children to be energetic, happy, and healthy.
The shocking truth about sugar.
But for some reason, most of the adults do not take the logical next step of changing the way they feed their children. these are the major reasons why adults put this known health hazard in front of children:
1) It's tradition to bring cakes and other sweets to school to celebrate special events.
2) We only serve treats "occasionally" at "special events." In a class of 20 kids with 20 birthdays, plus various holidays and other special events, virtually every school week includes a reason for a party. There are many other ways to celebrate, such as making a craft or doing something active.
3) Treats attract children and make them happy.
There is endless academic research showing that when people or children perform a task for a reward, they lose interest when that reward disappears. By giving kids candy at school, you're not teaching love of learning; you're teaching love of candy.
How to help kids satisfy a sweet tooth.
4) It's the parents' responsibility to train the kids to make the right food choices.
Only someone with perfectly obedient children could make this argument. We don't have any perfectly obedient children, and neither do our friends. Children are bad at understanding long-term consequences and don't have all the facts they need. We send them to school and raise them to help develop these skills.
Suggestions for Healthy Kids' Snacks:
• Any fruits
• Cereal without sugar
• Whole grain, low-salt snacks
• Beans and Bean Dips
• Cottage Cheese with Fruit Pieces
• Any vegetables: Baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, sugar snap peas, avocados, etc.
• Mini rice cakes—unsalted

Let Kids Play With Their Food
Want your kids to try new foods? Allow them to use all of their senses when eating, even if things get messy.
"Don't play with your food" is as old a dinner table rule as "Don't chew with your mouth open". But you may want to rethink that policy, especially for picky eaters. Letting kids use all of their senses to explore new foods gives them positive food experiences and encourages them to--yes!--eventually taste foods they’re initially skeptical of.
They found that preschoolers who participated in this food education chose more fruits and vegetables from a buffet compared to those who didn't receive it. Researchers say this sensory-based education helps children explore food with all five senses and instills a joy of eating. They also note that the findings held true even if there was a high level of pickiness in the group—which shows that "positive peer modeling" can also encourage kids to try new foods.
Kids learn subjects like math and language through a variety of ways—with experiments, hands-on activities, and manipulatives—not just through visual input. Learning about food is no different.
So how can you give your child this kind of food education at home? For starters, let kids help with meal prep. They'll learn how all different kinds of foods feel, look, and smell, and what they sound like when they're cut or cooked. Even if they don't taste that particular food, that's valuable stuff.
Food crafts are another fun way to teach kids about food.
Cut a rinsed and dried milk carton in half, keeping the top with the spout and discarding the bottom half. Have your kids wash and dry a bunch of asparagus stalks, coat the outside of the carton with cream cheese, and build an asparagus log cabin. Include some carrot or jicama sticks, blueberries for cobblestones, or thin slices of raw turnip for roof tiles. Pop it in the fridge and serve it as an afternoon snack. When kids engage in sensory food play, it's amazing how often they'll nibble on a new vegetable.
But most of all, Potock says, have fun with it. "Learning to be an adventurous eater involves one of the most important senses of all, and that's our sense of humor. Lots of laughter is an essential ingredient for every food play recipe."

Stress and Infertility
Infertility is a medical condition that can touch every aspect of your life -- from the way you feel about yourself, to your relationship with your partner, to your overall perspective on living. It can also be particularly stressful in that it creates a great deal of uncertainty and emotional upheaval in a couple's day-to-day world. If you've been struggling with infertility, you're probably no stranger to stress. But as overwhelming as your situation may seem at times, there are ways to reduce your anxiety. Here are steps to focus attention on your mind and body -- and bring a calmer perspective to your life.
1. Acknowledge your feelings. The first step in reducing stress is to understand that what you're feeling is completely normal. Going through infertility tests and procedures month after month can be emotionally, physically, and financially draining. And feeling as if you have no control over your body -- or the ultimate outcome of your treatments -- can be stressful and debilitating as well. For many couples, wanting a biological child has been a lifelong dream. But through infertility, that dream has been shattered, or at least temporarily put on hold.
2. Share your questions and fears. As you deal with infertility, it helps to have people around who can help answer your questions, be sensitive to your feelings, and understand your fears and concerns.
3. Allow yourself to cry and be angry. By all means, don't try to repress your feelings of anger, guilt, or sorrow. If you need to cry about the "unfairness" of another pregnancy or birth announcement, go ahead and do so.
5. Keep a journal. A journal can be a comforting friend who's never too angry, upset, or busy to listen. Best of all, it's available at 3 a.m., when you wouldn't dream of calling a friend. As you record your thoughts, you may also uncover some insights you didn't know you had.
6. Stay connected to family and friends. Another step in reducing stress is to build a bridge back to your family and close friends. Though you may feel a strong connection toward friends or acquaintances who are having fertility problems, it also helps to allow those who are closest to you to offer their love and support. If your friends and relatives are uninformed about infertility, you'll need to educate them about what you're going through. You might recommend a good book on the subject, explain how certain remarks are insensitive (even if they're unintentional), or let your loved ones know how you want to be treated. For instance, you might say, "Let me cry when I'm upset," or "I can't really talk about baby showers right now."
7. Communicate with your partner. Infertility can take a toll on a marriage, often causing unspoken resentment, feelings of inadequacy, s*xual pressure, and tension between couples. What's more, a man and a woman might respond differently to the crisis, with men acting more emotionally distant and women more openly distraught. If you feel that the stress of infertility is causing a rift between you and your partner, it may help to seek out counseling. Even a few sessions with a good counselor who is knowledgeable about infertility can help you regain your footing as a couple and help you move forward again -- together.
8. Learn to breathe. Another good way to calm down is by practicing deep-breathing techniques, either alone or with your spouse. One exercise involves sitting comfortably, with your eyes closed, and taking long, slow, deep breaths. Breathe in and out through your nose (or in through your nose and out through your mouth), filling your diaphragm and chest with air. Feel the pleasure of filling yourself up slowly and calmly, then releasing the air. Try this exercise for five minutes whenever you're anxious, or with your spouse before talking about infertility. Being relaxed can make the conversation between the two of you feel less tense and more focused.

If you a new mum
Every new mother knows it well. There is the BB life – Before Baby – where you could go to work, the cinema, the gym, for dinner, or hang out with friends and simply watch a box set.
Then there’s your AB – After Baby - life where you can’t remember your BB life at all! Sound familiar?
As a devoted mum your life is focused entirely on your little bundle of joy and their sleeping and eating routines with your partner coming second, for the moment, although they are still just as important in helping you to look after your new addition. Revealing that a lack of ‘me’ time is one of the hardest aspects for new mums to come to terms with it needn’t be a scary experience when it comes to giving yourself a much-deserved break where you can focus on yourself.
It’s natural for you to feel worried about leaving your little one as in the first days, weeks and months your time is simply not your own and this becomes the norm. Most mothers need to focus on their baby and are a psychological ‘nursing couple’; the baby demands total adoration and support to survive and mothers too need support as they learn about their babies.
However, there are tips that can help when it comes to reintroducing your BB life into your AB:
• Take things slowly: Although it seems like an eternity, over time things begin to change and babies sleep longer, feed at wider intervals, and your body begins to feel like yours again. Slowly your world can open up. Be patient and you’ll know when the time is right.
• Don’t try to do too much too soon: That first swim alone, or visit to the hairdresser, or even a mundane trip to the supermarket can feel like climbing Everest but overtime you’ll adjust to your new life. Start with smaller sessions of ‘me’ time and work up until you feel comfortable at spending an afternoon or full evening out.
• Focus on the positives: Don’t expect things to go back to the way they were exactly BB. Half your mind will forever have a bit of it attached to your little one – even when s/he gets to 21! Embrace your new life. It will be different and testing, but it will be better and more rewarding.
• Have faith in your friends and family members: The people closest to you will want to do everything they can to support you and your baby. Trust in those you leave your baby with to look after them. There’s nothing wrong with checking in with them if you’re out for the day but try not to spend too much of your ‘me’ time texting for updates.
Overall, be patient and take your time. Get support and be gentle with yourself as you learn. Eventually your new AB life will emerge... and with it lots of wonderful times, now you’re a mum.

Infertility – Symptoms
Infertility is when you cannot get pregnant after having unprotected, regular s*x for six months to one year, depending on your age.
The main symptom of infertility is not getting pregnant. You may not have or notice any other symptoms.
Symptoms can also depend on what is causing the infertility. Many health conditions can make it hard to get pregnant. Sometimes no cause is found.
Infertility Symptoms in Women
In women, changes in the menstrual cycle and ovulation may be a symptom of a disease related to infertility. Symptoms include:
• Abnormal periods. Bleeding is heavier or lighter than usual.
• Irregular periods. The number of days in between each period varies each month.
• No periods. You have never had a period, or periods suddenly stop.
• Painful periods. Back pain, pelvic pain, and cramping may happen.
Sometimes, female infertility is related to a hormone problem. In this case, symptoms can also include:
• Skin changes, including more acne
• Changes in s*x drive and desire
• Dark hair growth on the lips, chest, and chin
• Loss of hair or thinning hair
• Weight gain
Other symptoms of disorders that may lead to infertility include:

• Milky white discharge from ni***es unrelated to breastfeeding
• Pain during s*x

Many other things can lead to infertility in women, and their symptoms vary.
Infertility Symptoms in Men

Infertility symptoms in men can be vague. They may go unnoticed until a man tries to have a baby.

Symptoms depend on what is causing the infertility. They can include:

• Changes in hair growth
• Changes in s*xual desire
• Pain, lump, or swelling in the testicles
• Problems with erections and ej*******on
• Small, firm testicles

When to See the Doctor

If you are under 35 and have been trying to get pregnant without success for a year, see your doctor. Women 35 and older should see their doctor after six months of trying.

Blood, urine, and imaging tests can be done to discover why you are having trouble getting pregnant. A s***m analysis can be done to check a man's s***m count and the overall health of the s***m.

Your doctor may refer you to a reproductive endocrinologist. That's a doctor who specializes in infertility. You will be asked questions about your infertility symptoms and medical history.

Signs Your Baby Is Going Through a Growth Spurt

Your baby is constantly hungry.
Just when you think you've figured out a feeding schedule, your baby suddenly wants to eat around the clock. In a breastfed infant, this might mean two to four days of marathon nursing. A formula-fed baby might be dissatisfied after finishing a bottle.

Your baby's sleep patterns shift.
Some parents report that their babies sleep more during growth spells, while others report their babies sleep less. One thing is certain: Sleep plays a vital role in the production of the primary growth hormone, aptly named "growth hormone." So let snoozing babes lie while nature takes its course of slowly robbing you of the wee creature you once held in the crook of your arm.
Your baby is fussier than usual.
This could be a byproduct of the first two signs; an extra hungry or tired baby will usually tell you about it.
Your baby has mastered new tricks.
Okay, it's a bit of a stretch to link your child's newfound ability to clap or grasp a toy with one specific growth spurt. But a baby's brain physically enlarges along with the rest of her body as she learns to navigate the world, causing her skull to grow and fuse in turn. That's why a baby's fontanelle, or "soft spot," is closed or nearly closed by age one.
Note that growth spurts, like teething, are easy to confuse with other issues. An overly sleepy or fussy baby could indicate illness, while constant hunger could indicate a low milk supply. If your baby is peeing and pooping well, you can assume supply is not an issue and take comfort in knowing the feeding frenzy will pass.

Activities to Improve Your Baby's Development
Try Out Textures
Toddlers are sensory learners who love to touch, smell, and taste to understand the world around them. Use a dark marker to trace letters of the alphabet and/or numbers onto poster paper; then have your tot decorate the letters with textured items such as sandpaper, beans, cotton balls, pastas, and pipe cleaners. Touching the letters gives kids the opportunity to feel the way a letter is formed. For little ones learning to write, their fingers can experiment with the shape of a letter before grasping a writing utensil. Each day, say the letters and numbers out loud as your child runs his fingers over them. Later on, extend the activity by creating a poster that spells out his first name. Soon your child will notice these letters on signs, posters, and billboards.
Try Measuring Up
Using everyday items, teach your child to measure. Although a ruler is the most common measuring tool, experiment with months, seasons, or time of year to make the learning process interesting. In the fall, have your child lie down on the grass and then line up apples next to her to measure how many "apples tall" she is at certain ages. Or determine how many "Legos tall" the couch is or how many "wooden blocks wide" the refrigerator is in your home. For extra fun, discover how many of your child's books it will take to cover your bed. Always count as you lay down the different objects, and soon your child will be counting and measuring in all different ways!
Sing Vocabulary Words
Develop this skill by creating funny tunes about rhyming words and counting to ten, or sing easy, classic songs. Encourage singing in the car, while playing at home, and during bathtime. If your child attends day care or preschool, ask the teacher for the class's favorites songs and reinforce them at home. Teach songs to grandparents and babysitters so that all of the important people in your child's life will be involved in this lighthearted activity. Your child will start learning through song as she recites letters, numbers, days of the week, and body parts to melodic tunes.
Arrange a Scavenger Hunt
Children are natural investigators and they love to explore. Scavenger hunts can be created beforehand or invented on the spot. At the supermarket, search for foods that are one specific color (like purple) or look for objects of one shape (like a circle) around the house. If your child needs assistance, gather three objects for her to choose from while asking, "Which object is red? Which object is a circle?" Expand on the Label Your Household activity by arranging a scavenger hunt for different labeled items, or ask her to search the bookshelves for a specific letter, word, or number. You can also pretend you can't find the orange juice carton or a pair of socks. Send your child on a fun mission to locate the items in the house.
Number Your Mornings
On a piece of poster paper, create a calendar grid with 31 boxes and leave space at the top to add signs that represent each month. Write the days of the week across the top and number 31 cards with numbers 1 to 31. Attach Velcro to the back of each card and to each of the 31 boxes on the poster. Hang the calendar at your child's eye level and on the first day of each month, add a monthly sign and the number 1 card under the correct day of the week. The next day, challenge her to find the number 2 card and figure out the day of the week. Singing the Days of the Week song can also help. You child will begin to understand the calendar and numerical system.
