ProFecund in treating couple's infertility

Couple’s infertility is a medical condition posing particular importance through its emotional, social and relationship-related implications.  Regarded with some reluctance in the past, pro-fertility medications slowly but safely entered the therapy assembly of many doctors. Today, they can be divided into two categories, the distinction between them being most times unclear. Thus, there are therapies preparing for conception and specific pro-fertility therapies, such as the specialized assisted reproduction techniques. However, many times when speaking of low fertility (and not infertility per se), the preparing medical therapy aims at obtaining a pregnancy. Following the principles “first try the natural way, and then the medically-assisted o ...

Importance of selenium for male fertility

Spermatogenesis is the sperm development process. It involves division and maturation of primitive testicular cells named spermatogonias, which lead to producing active sperms able to fertilize an egg. During spermatogenesis, sperm cells are sensitive to oxidative stress, which reduces their viability. Selenium is a mineral protecting cells against oxidative stress and it is useful for producing semen and stimulating fertility. Selenium improves semen formation, its quality, structure, quality, motility, and function. Epididymes, the tubes by which semen goes from the testicle through the penis, require selenium for adequately working. Selenium deficit was correlated to male infertility, while selenium supplements given to men were proven to improve the pregnancy rates. ...

Cannot get pregnant or the embryo fails to implant?

The second stage of a woman’s menstrual cycle is called luteal phase. It is the time between ovulation and the date when the next menstruation begins. Fertilization and implantation take place during that phase of the menstrual cycle. As you can imagine, any disturbance of the luteal phase of the cycle can be worrisome because it can affect the fertility. Most experts agree that a luteal phase below 12 day does not allow sufficient time for the uterus to build a nurturing lining for the growing fetus and as consequence, a miscarriage will occur if fertilization did take place. Symptoms of luteal phase defect Short menstrual cycle Low progesterone level Decrease of basal body temperature after ovulation Irregular symptoms during the luteal phase, such as b ...

Smokers and fertility

There are some key modifications of the lifestyle directly tied to fertility and baby health. Quitting smoking is one of the first things you can do for enhancing your fertility. Most components of the cigarette smoke affect the ability of cells in ovaries to produce estrogen, making the women’s eggs prone to genetic abnormalities. Given that smoking affects the genetic material in eggs and sperms, the rates of miscarriage and babies born with birth defects are higher in couples who smoke. Women smokers are most likely to have an unhealthy pregnancy from a chromosome standpoint (such as pregnancy affected by Down syndrome) than nonsmokers do. As well, ectopic pregnancies and premature labors appear more often among women smokers. Various toxic substances making ...

Male fertility decline

Nobody knows exactly why, but many researchers agree that the sperm count produced by men has been declining recently. The fertility issues can range from hormonal imbalances, physical or psychological problems and / or behavioral problems.

Anovulation and irregular menstrual cycles

It is well-known that a woman can have variable cycles and they can be different based on several factors: whether she is teenager, whether she has just given up on birth control pills, whether she is breastfeeding or close to menopause.
