Spermacides Kill Sperm, Lubricants Don't

Fertility forced sex is not as fun as functional, and anything that causes the function to be improved definitely helps the sex lead to a baby. As fertility physicians discovered: getting pregnant is directly related to having more sex! And if not other experts say we will just turn to test tube babies by 2050. But before we panic, first do what you can to make sure you are healthy for a pregnancy, and visit your gyno for that. Next do what you can to optimize your natural fertility. Do try all your best moves, and if wetness is a problem: no worries, try lubricants! About a fourth of us used lubricants for sex in the past month. So fertility patients trying to have sex should they be concerned that these lubricants can decrease the viable sperm count? The research shows that when sperm and sex gel meet in a dish the common lubricants like KY Jelly, Astroglide can stop sperm in their tracks. Some women use coconut oil and that really has not been shown to affect sperm counts. Therefore, in the right strong concentration it is possible that the lubricants can be a negative fertility factor in some settings. Likely the concentration of lubricant used for better sex is much greater in that research setting, than in your home lab: the bedroom. For infertility patients, most gyno specialists, do tell their patients not to use these during ovulation so that your pregnancy chances can be maximized. Couples who have been avoiding lubricants should be glad to hear that in a study at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill has shown that fertility in healthy, not necessarily infertile couples, who used lubricants for sex was no less than in couples who didn't use lubricants.and remember lubricants are different than vaginal moisturizers which are intended for overall dry vaginal tissues, Vaginal moisturizers are intended for use one or more times per week, not just during sexual activity, examples include Replens, Me Again, Vagisil Feminine Moisturizer, Feminease, and K-Y SILK. If you aren't sure what to use when trying to get pregnant, ask your gyno!

Post-Endometrial Ablation Syndrome

By
If you have had an endometrial ablation and have developed symptoms of pelvic pain you might have post endometrial ablation syndrome. What is post-endometrial ablation syndrome? It is a constellation of symptoms due to entrapped blood or tissue within a uterus that has previously undergone an endometrial ablation. We are able to diagnose this at Women's Health Practic e but occasionally other conditions are causing similar symptoms. Other complications of endometrial ablation include pregnancy, risks from pre-existing conditions such as a polyp or fibroid, an infection of the uterus, or a pregnancy. If you have had a tubal ligation then it is possible that the condition could be post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. The ablation procedure is designed to destroy all lining tissue, but in fact there is no way to confirm the completeness of the ablation. It is thought that either residual or regrowth of the tissue is producing the symptoms of post-endometrial ablation syndrom...

Passing Your Uterine Lining, Menstrual Period Norms

By
Decidual Cast Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. 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...

You Have an IUD: But a Positive Pregnancy Test

By
Fortunately IUD pregnancy failures are rare. But if you have an IUD for contraception, and you get a positive pregnancy test, you probably ask yourself, what next? Well, make your gyno appointment promptly, this is a condition that is not typically an emergency, but it can be and it’s not handled over the phone or on a blog, or through self diagnosis! That being said, some researchers from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas decided to look back at over 4100 women who had IUDs and of those 42 cases who became pregnant in their institution, over about a year period of time, to help understand what these women could expect when they got to their gyno and what actually happened to their pregnancies. Accurate pregnancy diagnosis, pelvic examination, and pelvic ultrasound were the cornerstones of the evaluations. They had very specific ways they looked at their ultrasound to prove there was no pregnancy in the fallopian tube, or partially in the fallopian tube...
