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.

Is female sub-fertility treatable?

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Female sub-fertility is a condition where the couple struggles to conceive even after one year from stopping contraception methods while also having regular sexual intercourse. Unlike complete infertility often caused by underlying medical problems, female sub-fertility can often be treated simply by changing lifestyles, diets, exercising more regularly, applying a normal sleep pattern, reducing stress and exposure to toxins. In addition supplements to bring hormonal balance, improve the immune system, and restoring nutritional balance in the body have been shown effective in many cases of female sub-fertility. Other factors such as miscarriages, the age of the female, the male reproductive health, and more still play a role, but supplementing with a product such as PregAssist for women and by making the required lifestyle changes the chances of successful pregnancy increase considerably.

Possible causes of ovulation problems

Monday, March 9th, 2009

Many reasons exist for ovulation problems. If the conditions are treated and thus the sources of the ovulation problems addressed, normal ovulation and menstrual cycles may return and the chances for successful pregnancy improved. Serious medical conditions should not go untreated and as such it is recommended that you visit your physician immediately to diagnose any underlying medical problems. Serious medical conditions which may cause ovulation problems include, but are not limited to pituitary tumours, Sheehan’s disease, prolactin imbalances, chromosome disorders, premature menopause, and more. Obesity, poor diets, stress, and hormonal imbalances may also lead to ovulation problems. Although supplements such as PregAssist cannot address deep underlying medical conditions, the supplements can however help with regulation of menstrual cycles, improve reproductive health, and improve regular ovulation if the causes are not more serious.

More people struggle to conceive than before

Monday, March 9th, 2009

A recent article in the Mail Online highlighted the fact that more people struggle to conceive than before. According to the article published on 4 September 2007 and written by Fiona Macrae, as many as a third of couples struggle to conceive. It thus means that you are not alone. One factor that may contribute to this is the fact that in the UK for instance, the average female waits until the age of 30 before trying to have a baby. Since age plays an enormous role in reproductive health, it is important for women to start earlier in life if they want to increase the chances of having a baby without any additional treatments to do so. If however, a person has already waited until that age, all is not lost. The first step is to go for a complete reproductive health check-up to ensure that there are no underlying medical causes when struggling to conceive. The next step is to follow a healthy diet, stop smoking and any alcohol intake, start exercising regularly, if obese to gradually lose weight and if underweight to add some kilos, as well as to make lifestyle changes to ensure a more relaxed lifestyle. Most important – also get the nutritional support you need through fertility supplements such as PregAssist for men and women.
