Just stand back and be clinical for one moment. Lets say you were picking a sperm donor off a shelf and not just someone to hang with forever after. Just what tests are recommended for those donors? The American Society for Reproductive Medicine actually has recommendations for the donors of banks: they need to be screened for syphilis, Hepatis B, gonorrhea, chlamydia, and HIV. Interestingly they are also recommending screening for cytomegalovirus. Most banks will actually screen much more in depth. The list of tests the donors get for STDs at California Cryobank is more extensive.. In fact they say that less than 1% of their sperm donor applicants get accepted for actual donation. And most banks hold sperm for at least 180 days so that the guys can be retested for diseases that may have been contracted but not yet revealed. Beyond screening for STDs generally guidelines call for men under 50, free from genetic or medical diseases and no history of high risk behaviors like intravenous drug use.

Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously. It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you...
