First I wanted to share with you some interesting info about a hormone that is not considered hardly at all when investigating fertility issues, but recent studies have shown that it certainly plays a role in your fertility.  The hormone is called leptin which was only discovered recently in 1994. I know I am getting old when 11 years ago seems recent!! :)

Leptin was shown in a small study from Harvard Medical School (sept 2004) to have a positive effect on resetting the female...

In the last few weeks I discussed anger and sadness and have gotten a heap of feedback.  Most were saying they felt better knowing they weren't alone and can see the benefit in letting these emotions go.  Keep in mind however that any negative emotion that you feel is important because it has a message for you. So allow yourself some time to go over the steps in these tips to get the message you are sending yourself thru the emotions that you experience.

Today we are going to...

I have some interesting news to share with you today that are based on some recent findings in Melbourne .

These findings emphasize a particular part of our program that I have been suggesting for some time now and hope that this email serves as a reminder to those of you who are already our patients and using these products and I hope this serves as information for those who aren’t addressing this very important part of your fertility.  

In a study performed in...

As I write this tip, I couldn't help but reflect on recent event in my life.   I had to put our family pet to sleep the other night. I was surprised about how this affected me as we made the decision, even though I have had many pets throughout my lifetime and knew it was the right decision.  At the moment we were all saying goodbye I became very emotional and I realized how little I previously thought about how I felt about this loyal member of our family. It reminded me to pay...

This tip discusses one facet of what I believe you really should know when you are on this journey, because no one it is highly likely no one is telling you.

I consider myself to be a very tolerant person and I am the first to admit there are different schools of thought out there in regards to fertility. I also want you to know that I have a lot of respect for doctors especially the ones that take the time to educate and care for their patients.  But when I see people just like you...

Did you know that the adult human is made up of 70% water?  When a baby is born, it is composed of 80% water. Did you know that a fertilized egg is 96% water?

To me, this is amazing.  But what’s even more amazing is the research by Masaru Emoto, an internationally renowned researcher in Japan.  Mr. Emoto has shown some amazing things about a substance we all take for granted, water.

 Well, what does water have to do with increasing the health of your eggs or your...

Let's continue our discussion on Anger and Fertility. Anger is a stimulant emotion. By this I mean it revs your body up.  You tend to clench your teeth, tighten muscles, and some even get red in the face.  Anger is normal and we all experience it. The problem comes in when we hold on to it.

As I have said previously many times, it is important to understand that it is okay to experience any negative emotion, including anger.  Any negative emotion is just trying to...

Sadness

Well, I can honestly say I do not know anyone going through fertility issues that has not experienced this emotion.  So you are not alone.

Is it normal to feel sadness? Absolutely.  The idea of having a child goes along with one of human beings most basic needs.  All of us at some level want to be able to express our potential. Having a child is one way to express our human potential.  And it is important to remember however that it is not the only way to express...

A patient emailed and told me about Ureaplasma Urealyticum and that it can effect fertility.  It was rather ironic that I received this email when I did because I had recently read that this bacteria may be associated with miscarriage and poor IVF outcomes.  So a big thank you to the reader who sent it in as this prompted me to finish my research on the topic and get it out to you.

This is still a little controversial yet but it has been shown that the presence of Ureaplasma...
