Trying to Get Pregnant After a Miscarriage

The thought of getting pregnant after miscarriage can be quite daunting, as many women are afraid of a second miscarriage. A miscarriage, referred to by doctors as a spontaneous abortion, is the loss of a pregnancy before around twenty weeks. It is believed (according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine) that as many as twenty five percent of known pregnancies will miscarry. This rate will most likely be higher in actuality because miscarriages can happen before a woman is even aware she is pregnant.

What causes a woman to miscarry is still not completely clear. Miscarriages that occur in the first twelve weeks of a pregnancy are believed to be the result of a random occurrence of chromosomal abnormalities present in the foetus, and this inhibits its normal development and causes a miscarriage.

The health and well-being of the mother can also play a part. Medical conditions like un-tended diabetes or structural problems in the woman’s uterus which result in an improper egg implantation can affect a miscarriage, as can a number of autoimmune conditions in the mother. There are also lifestyle factors, like smoking or drug abuse by the mother which can increase the chances of miscarrying. There are also a large number of miscarriages which are the result of the egg not being implanted in the uterus correctly – thankfully this can be corrected by knowing the most appropriate times of the month for successful conception, but more on that later.

There are a number of signs that may precede a miscarriage including lower back pain and cramps in the abdomen and pelvis as well as fluid or tissue and blood coming from the vagina. Bleeding usually precedes all early miscarriages, however many pregnant women experience blood spotting and some bleeding in early pregnancy, so it is not always a sign of miscarriage.

The vast majority of miscarriage in early pregnancy will not need medical attention because the uterus expels its contents as if it was a heavy menstrual period. In cases where tissue remains inside and shows up on an ultrasound, then a cleansing procedure, or medication may be required to make sure all the residual tissue is expelled. This is an important step if tissue remains inside, as infections may set in if nothing is done. Getting pregnant after miscarriage is not advised for at least a good couple of months. If recurring miscarriages are a problem, then there are tests that can be done to see if they can determine the cause.

It is important before going out and getting any of these (sometimes painful) tests, that you make sure that the improper implantation of the egg into the uterine lining is not the cause. The likelihood of this can be reduces significantly by trying for a baby at the appropriate monthly times.

This time is when there is a cervical fluid which has the resemblance of eggwhites, which is the woman’s most fertile time of the month. When the man has a normal sperm count, then the couple should have intercourse every day of the eggwhite cervical fluid and should only cease once a rise in basal temperature is noticed in the woman. For men who’s sperm count is low, then intercourse should only be done on every second day until the rise in temperature. This will not only increase the chances of conception, but will also decrease the likelihood of miscarriage caused from improper implantation of the ovum in the uterine lining.

Pre-conception is a crucial time for getting healthy. This means that diet, weight and exercise are all important to maintain before conception takes place. Quitting cigarettes and not being around other people’s smoke is also important. Caffeine should not be ingested, and alcohol is a definite no-go. Awareness of your external environment and any toxins you may be exposed to are also important – painting the house is out, unless ‘green’ paints are used, and carpeting should be avoided, as new carpets are often laced with formaldehyde. Importantly for getting pregnant after miscarriage, you have to remember to look at lifestyle factors like stress and emotional worries, and try to have intercourse at the appropriate time of the month.

Boy Or Girl Baby, You Can Decide, With The Shettles Method

The late Dr. Landrum Shettles a renowned expert on baby gender prediction methods developed, after years of research, a gender selection method that he felt was “best supported by scientific evidence”.

Dr Shettles wrote a best selling book called How To Choose The Sex Of Your Baby, you’ll find a link at my site. He claimed a 75%-90% success rate using his techniques. There have been a few ebooks authored (also at my site) that claim an even higher success rate of up to 98%. These ebooks utilize Dr Shettles methods as well as other baby gender prediction methods to achieve this amazing success rate!

The Shettles method is based on the fact that it’s the man’s sperm that determines whether a baby is a female or male. This is because the woman’s egg carries only the (x) or (girl) chromosome, and the man’s sperm comes in two varieties, one carrying the (x) or girl sperm (which results in a girl baby) and the (y) or boy sperm (that results in a boy baby.) Dr Shettles also realized that the girl sperm was physically larger, stronger (longer lived), and a slower swimmer (slower to reach the egg.) The boy sperm is smaller, more fragile (dies off quicker), and is a much faster swimmer (will win the race to fertilize the egg most of the time.)

The doctor also realized that timing of intercourse, and the depth of penetration during conceptual intercourse could help to determine if the resulting baby was a boy or girl. The mother-to-be will have to track her day of ovulation precisely in order to time conceptual intercourse precisely as well.

If a boy baby is desired abstain from sex until the day before ovulation, and abstain again the second day after ovulation. Also when trying to conceive a boy sexual positions that allow deep penetration are best (”doggie style” or missionary position with the woman’s legs extended up towards her head.) Why is this? Because of the differences in the two sperm. This timing, and deep penetration allows the fast swimming boy sperm to win the race to the fresh waiting egg, resulting in the boy baby you want.

If a girl baby is desired, the couple should have sex practicing only shallow penetration, and abstain from sex for a couple of days before ovulation and until a couple of days after ovulation. Here again this gives the short lived boy sperm to much time and distance to survive and allows the slow but longer lived girl sperm a time and distance advantage, and assures (hopefully) conceiving a girl baby.

Dr Shettles determined that vaginal acidity also plays a role in which sperm succeeds in fertilizing the egg. He found that a lower ph (higher acidity) favored the girl sperm and a higher ph (lower acidity) favored the survival of the boy sperm.

Although these are pretty simple concepts, you will find a guide to be indispensable! There are three ebooks offered online that will take you step by step through the entire process, and if followed diligently tip the odds of success from about 50/50 to well over 90%!

Trouble Conceiving?

If you are experiencing a problem getting pregnant, then understanding the intricacies of what it takes to achieve a fertilised egg is of prime importance.

At the time of ovulation, the fallopian tube will pick up the new egg after it burst out of the ovarian wall. It is only a matter of seconds after the egg is released from the ovarian wall that the fimbria, or the tip of the fallopian tube will pick the egg up and draw it into the tube properly. If an egg remains unfertilised it can live for up to twenty four hours, and after dying it will be absorbed by the body or it will disintegrate and come out with the menses. To put it in perspective, the size of the egg is about as big as a full stop – like this one.

If on the other hand an egg does get fertilised it happens within a couple of hours after ovulation, and will happen while the egg is in the fallopian tube. Fertilisiation does not take place in the uterus, contrary to the widely held misconception that it does. The whole journey of the sperm to the egg in the fallopian tubes can take a good number of hours. There are cilia, or tiny hairs which line the fallopian tube, and when an egg has been fertilised, these vibrate and draw the egg further inside. The fertilised ovum will reach its final destination and begin to burrow into the nutritious lining of the uterus after about one week of ‘travelling’ to reach there.

For couples who are having aproblem getting pregnant there is a crucial point to understand and that is that a fertilised egg requires three things: the egg (of course) and the sperm, and the very special medium which will allow the sperm and egg to traverse the hostile vaginal atmosphere in safety.

This medium which affords safe passage to the sperm and egg is an eggwhite-like cervical fluid which is especially fertile. It is this cervical fluid which will allows the sperm to travel to the cervix in safety and unite with the waiting egg. This amazing fertile mucus is produced with rising levels of oestrogen in the first part of the cycle, and is at its best at the time of ovulation. In this type of cervical fluid, sperm can survive inside for up to five days – so it is entirely possible to have intercourse at the beginning of the week, and not become pregnant till the end of the week!

Once pregnant, the body begins its amazing process – it would be a disaster for the lining of the uterus to start to disintegrate as it normally does in the menstrual cycle, so a pregnant body will actually start to protect itself to prevent this disintegrating from occurring as it normally would. When a fertilised egg burrows into the lining of the uterus, the body starts producing a hormone called Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) which prevents this from happening. The message this hormone sends is to the lining itself (the corpus luteum) and it simple tells it to stay alive. The corpus luteum will continue to maintain itself for a couple of months till the placenta is ready to take over and the placenta will then maintain the lining as well as provide oxygen and nourishment to the growing foetus.

False-negative pregnancy tests are usually received if the test has been done too soon, because the whole process can take a while, and the test is measuring HCG, so if it hasn’t been produced yet, the test will come back negative even if an egg is fertilised. When women chart their cycles, they are more likely to know when a pregnancy has occurred from the first point of implantation because of the notable changes in the cycle.

When couples are having a problem getting pregnant it really is vital that they fully understand the process involved in getting pregnant, because unlike what our mums tell us as youths, for some getting pregnant is not that easy.

A Cure for Morning Sickness

As much as 80% of pregnant women suffer from morning sickness. The name morning sickness is somewhat misleading however though as a large number of these women suffer with these symptoms all through the day and not just in the morning.

Low blood sugar and dramatic hormonal changes that take place during the early stages of pregnancy are thought to be the causes. A definitive cause for this condition, however, has not been determined by any specific research. Many pregnant women seek out a cure for morning sickness to help alleviate their debilitating symptoms and allow them to return to their normal daily activities. Most medical professionals, however, are extremely reluctant to prescribe any medication to a pregnant woman.

While there is no scientific research to conclude that herbs are safe for use by a pregnant woman, some suggest herbal remedies for relief. There are, however, many old fashioned cures and suggestions to alleviate the symptoms including: Getting out of bed slowly; Drinking tea the first thing in the morning; Eating saltine crackers; Having small meals throughout the day; Avoiding warm places, and; Avoiding fried and spicy food. Most pregnant women prefer homeopathic solutions are known not to cause any harm to your unborn child.

One morning sickness cure which is particularly effective is to use a pressure point wristband. These wristbands use a form of acupressure to provide the right degree of pressure at a specific point on the wrist to block the transmission of nausea prior to it being registered by the body. Any size person can benefit from these wristbands since they are adjustable and provided the needed relief. The wristband is not only very affordable and extremely durable, but it is also very easy to use.

Those pregnant women who try the acupressure wristband while suffering from morning sickness during their pregnancy report effective and immediate relief. The wristband permits them to protect their precious baby while they resume their normal daily activities, and enjoy their pregnancy.

So if you suffer from morning sickness and the old fashion remedies aren’t working for you, try an acupressure wristband. You just may find that it will alleviate your symptoms with no side effects.

When is the Best Time to Get Pregnant

If you are wanting to find out the best time to conceive, then you have to know about the fertile times in a woman’s cycle – which is a fairly complex time to pinpoint. Firstly when an egg is released it will only live a short time, a maximum of 24 hours and if two eggs are released in one ovulation cycle then that means only around two fertile days in a month. From the man’s side his sperm can survive inside for around five days so coupled with the woman this means around a week of fertility in a month. For the best indicator of a woman’s fertile time one needs to check the quality of cervical fluid – when it is an eggwhite consistency this is the fertile period, but it may only be there for a couple of days.

There are lots of women who think they conceived a child during a period, despite this being a next to impossible thing to do. There are occasions when one may become pregnant from intercourse during the end of her period, but this is quite rare. It is possible if the woman’s cycle is very short, and the sperm live long enough to fertilise the ovum. The more common case is when a woman mistakes blood spotting during ovulation as a period and get pregnant at this time. This is a reminder of how important it is to really know and understand you cycle and the functioning of your body.

The most common way which doctors prescribe for finding the best time to conceive is by charting changes in the body’s basal temperature. This is sadly to the exclusion of the most important (and most accurate) determinant of fertility, and that is cervical fluid. Moreover using the basal method for fertile timings can actually impede efforts at conception, because by the time a change in temperature is record it’s too late and the egg has died. Basal temperature measuring is a part of knowing your body and is useful in getting pregnant, but it is not a measure of fertile times, and this is not acknowledged enough by doctors.

The most accurate way of finding your fertile window is by charting the changes in cervical fluid. When there is cervical fluid which has the look and consistency of eggwhites, this is the indicator of the fertile time. The eggwhite fluid tells you that you are ovulating, but some women have trouble determining what to look for, so another indicator is the wettest type of fluid, of a wet sensation. The best time to conceive is the last day that there is the eggwhite mucus present.

For couples where the man has a normal sperm count then when the wet fertile fluid comes it is the time to start having intercourse (daily) up until you see a rise in the basal temperature which indicated that the fertile time is actually over. Men with low sperm counts must only have sex every second day during this time, and stop on the morning the basal temperature rises.

Prior to keeping a record of the cervical fluid, you must know what it is you are looking for as the cervical mucus changes greatly in colour, consistency as well as volume. By noting these changes you can really improve the chances of conceiving quickly.

Ovulation is the best time to conceive, and this is the time of the month when there is a high volume of cervical fluid. The mucus that comes with ovulation (as noted already) is eggwhite mucus which is very fertile stuff, and prime baby making material!

If you want an accurate measure of where you are in your cycle, then noting the changes in cervical mucus can help a lot. Over a couple of months you will get a very good idea of the time you ovulate, and unlike with basal temperature methods, this way there will be enough time to actually take advantage of the fertile window.

Five Treatments For Internal Hemorrhoids

Due to the location internal hemorrhoids are notoriously hard to treat. In the last few decades a number of new surgical approaches have been used for hemorrhoids treatments. The main problem with the following medical procedures is that they are both invasive and not easy on the pocket book. Through out this article we will look at the five most common surgical approaches to hemorrhoid treatments.

1. Rubber Band Ligation – Rubber band ligation has been used for hundreds of years in one form or another. With rubber band ligation a small rubber band is place around the bottom of the hemorrhoid which hopefully cuts off the blood flow leading to the hemorrhoid shriveling up and falling off.

2. Injection Sclerotherapy – A special chemical solution is injected into the mucous membrane surrounding the hemorrhoid during the injection sclerotherapy which will close off the veins leading into the hemorrhoid which will hopefully cause the hemorrhoid to shrivel up and fall off.

3. Infrared Photocoagulation – Infrared Photocoagulation involves directing an infrared light to coagulate (clot) the dilated veins of the hemorrhoid which closes off the blood supply and hopefully leads to the hemorrhoids shrinking and disappearing.

4. Laser Coagulation – With the laser coagulation a small dose of electric current is directed towards the hemorrhoids which leads to a chemical reaction that closes the blood supply off to the hemorrhoid which in turn causes the hemorrhoid to shrink and fall off.

5. Hemorrhoidectomy – Hemorrhoidectomy is basically the surgical removal of the hemorrhoid. This procedure should be considered to be the last resort.

All of the above methods work by cutting off the blood flow to the hemorrhoid which will than lead to the hemorrhoid shrinking and hopefully disappearing. The degree of success varies on a number of different factors from the experience of the medical staff to the location of the hemorrhoid.

Undergoing any of the before mentioned hemorrhoid treatments is not a pleasant experience so make sure that you have explored all other options beforehand . A product that needs to be considered is known as the Hemorrhoid miracle which comes with a full money back guarantee if it is not able to provide relief and cure you of your hemorrhoids.

Maybe Baby? Finding the Right Nutrition for Your Pregnancy

Magazines have been writing a lot about fertility and the incontrovertible fact that more and more women are choosing to start a family in their 30’s or forty’s. Ladies nowadays are highly likely to have a high flying career and be considering city trips, shoe shopping and sports cars, and a lot less about Mothercare, changing diapers, and pushing buggies.

The average age for giving birth in the UK is going up about two months every year. The average age in 2007 was 29.3 years compared with 28.6 years in 2001. Statistics show that the average lady under thirty will get pregnant within the first 6 months and those in their early thirty’s may take up to and longer than nine months. From 35 onwards it might take one year.

Some ladies are spending a large amount of money trying to increase their chances of conceiving naturally, but this may be a nonessential cost. Lord Robert Winston, pioneer of IVF treatment, said to the Daily Mail that ladies who freeze their eggs to delay parenthood are being given false hopes by fertility hospitals. He is going on to assert that this does not in any way guarantee a girls will become pregnant or go on to have a healthy baby.

So without ditching the thrilling lifestyle what can you do to help turbo-charge your wellbeing for that ‘maybe baby’ stage? Being healthy is far easier than you might think. Here are a few tips

For her :

Iron

Most ladies recognize iron as a vital mineral for good health. In spite of this data, iron deficiency is regarded the commonest nutritive deficiency and the most influenced group are ladies of child bearing age. Studies have shown that even delicate inadequacies of iron are linked to reduced fertility. It would seem that a deficiency of iron may play a role in ovulatory dysfunction. Take daily Iron additions ( look for non-constipating form )

Essential trans acids

The force on girls to remain slim has lead to many women adopting very low fat diets. Unfortunately, this pattern of eating is related to a decline in fertility. The necessary trans-acids ( found in nuts, seeds and oily fish ) have many functions throughout the body, including balancing the hormones concerned in fertility. Try Omega 3-6-9 capsules with a mix of prime quality fish, flax and borage oil.

Multivitamin and mineral formula

A multivitamin and mineral formula has for some time been regarded as a measure for general wellness and as health insurance. Studies now suggest that a multivitamin formula may also be beneficial for maintaining fertility in ladies. Studies in the latter 90s proved that girls who frequently took a multivitamin formula, were less sure to be infertile due to ovulatory failure than those who did not. Similarly, the more frequent and regular the supplements were taken, the better the results .

Vitamin D3

Vitamin D3 ( sometimes called the sunshine vitamin ) could augment the fertility of girls afflicted with ovulation Problems. One in 5 women suffer with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome ( PCOS ) and can have a lesser chance of conception at a later age. Researchers at Yale school college of medication ( 2008 ) concluded ladies with ovulation problems or PCOS were much more sure to be low in vitamin D.

Try 1000iu D3 supplement

For him :

Your better half should be thinking along the same lines as you when it comes to living healthily. Sperm count and motility plays a particularly significant part in the act of making an attempt to become pregnant. Why do all of the hard work when your other half plays an equal part in the middle of conception? current figures ( from Norwich Union Healthcare in 2005 ) show that 2.5 million men suffer from sterility in the UK. Male infertility may account for as much as a 3rd of Problems with conception so it is important that your man takes similar steps to you to keep himself and his sperm in tip top health.

Zinc

Zinc is clearly one of the most vital nutrients needed for fertility, particularly for men. Studies show that a low zinc intake corresponds with a low sperm count and poor sperm motility.

Vitamin C

As an antioxidant, vitamin C is essential for good health. For men, this nutrient plays a particular role in augmenting fertility. Research has shown that vitamin C may help to reduce the clumping together of sperm and thus reinforces sperm motility. Additionally, vitamin C usually reinforces sperm quality and protects the DNA contained within it from damage.

Some of the symptoms of being pregnant would be mood swings, headaches, changes in appetite and even aversion to certain foods. But this is not the quality thing for each woman.

So the best way to determine as to whether you are pregnant would be through a home pregnancy test. But there are also other signs as to how one can see if they are pregnant.

One way would be by how your breasts feel. Pregnant women would have tender breasts because the breasts are being prepared for breast feeding. This often occurs during the first eight weeks. Another sign would be frequent urination. During the first 13 weeks or the first trimester, you will keep going to the restroom to urinate because the uterus is expanding to make way for the baby. This pushes against the bladder making you urinate more. After going through the first trimester, the second trimester is said to be much easier for the mother. The early signs that drain the mother physically are all over. Furthermore the mother will be able to get better sleep. It is also during this time when you will hear the first heartbeat of the baby. You will also feel the movements of your baby inside your body at this time.

The final stage of the pregnancy would be the final trimester. During this time, the fetus becomes too big already to move around in the uterus. The baby is getting heavier causing the mother to experience back pains. Some mothers’ ankles start to swell because of the added weight on the legs.

The journey to bringing a child into the world is exhausting but very fulfilling. And all these start with the first signs of pregnancy.

Making Learning a Game

Being a parent is the greatest journey one could ever take in her life. There are certain facts in life that we need to know when it comes to parenting: Parenting is a tough job; everyday is a learning process for both the parents and their children; and children usually have short attention spans.

Knowing these facts in life, as a parent, you need to be in full control of your children and to think of ideas on how to work your way to their world. Here are some of these effective ideas:

1. Teaching through games

Because children have short attention spans, they are likely to be bored every now and then especially with boring tasks. As a parent, you want your children to learn fast, and the way to get their attention to focus is to incorporate games when teaching and reviewing their lessons, so they won’t get bored easily. Teaching through games helps the child to not only understands and comprehends his lessons, but to enjoy while learning.

2. Patience is the best virtue

When disciplining your baby, since he has yet to understand what is right from wrong, or what’s proper and what’s not acceptable, patience always works wonders. Every parent must learn how to practice patience when dealing with children, and not to mix anger with discipline.

3. Setting the mood

When you need to give your child a new routine from what he has been accustomed to, you need to set the right mood for him to easily adjust to new settings. For example, if your baby used to stay awake until way past midnight, and you think you need to change that sleeping routine. Say, you want him to sleep at 8 pm, you need to prepare him to sleep by 6 pm or after he finishes his dinner. By 7 pm, you need to turn off all the lights and set a dark atmosphere to make him feel sleepy. It would surely work on your baby!!!!!

4. Consistency is the key

Most of the times, moms are so easy to convince because they can’t stand being angry with their children for a period of time. And because of this, children are so used to work their way convincing their moms to say yes every time they need it. You should correct this false belief of your children. Be strict and consistent when the situation calls for it. When you say no, always mean it and never be easily persuaded by your children. If your child has done something wrong, punish him in a proper way. Be firm when giving him a choice: either he does the right thing or he has to endure your punishment.

5. Surprise them!!!!

Experts say that rewards, when unexpected, work better than bribing. Kids are more delighted when surprised and they appreciate the gesture more. They have their moments, but they learn form their mistakes. Also make sure that you are enforcing these rules because you love them. Kids will appreciate it more.
