What is a molar pregnancy?

Friday, June 12th, 2009

Molar pregnancy occurs because of genetic abnormalities which may occur when fertilization of the egg takes place. There may then be a growing abnormal embryo in the womb. In the molar pregnancy it may also be that a growth takes place in the womb without an embryo. Molar pregnancy is very rare with only about one to one thousand chance of occurring. To ensure that the sperm is healthy, the successful fertilization takes place and that the chances for miscarriages including molar pregnancy are reduced, you need to adapt your lifestyle, eating plans, and also ensure that you get the correct combination of vitamins, herbs, and minerals to help restore reproductive health.

The process of conception

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

Many women and their partners don’t have sufficient knowledge of how conception takes place. It’s very important to understand the process if you are attempting to conceive. There are three major processes, which include ovulation, fertilization, and then of course the separation of the egg. Ovulation normally occurs about the middle of a menstrual cycle. There is a short timeframe, for the egg to become fertilized before it dies. If the fertilization is unsuccessful, the woman will have her menstrual cycle. If the fertilization was successful, the fertilized egg will separate. Once the fertilized egg has separated, it is rooted into the uterus and you are pregnant. That’s merely the process of conception. If your conception is unsuccessful this month, try again next month paying very close attention to the time of ovulation and planning it carefully.

Sperm motility issues

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Sperm motility can be described as the ability of sperm to move freely towards the egg. When sperm motility is low, you will find issues with fertility. If low sperm motility exists the sperm will not be able to reach the egg to fertilize it. One of the essential steps in successful conception will thus be lost. By supplementing with Preggassist for men, the sperm motility will also be improved as Vitamins C, E and the mineral Selenium are included known for their ability to improve sperm motility, help with sperm membrane protection and overall fighting of free radicals as well as helping to prevent sperm clumping. Zinc is also included in the formula to help improve the energy of the sperm which is essential for the race to fertilization of the egg.
