Pregnancy Over 40 and Vitamin C

Another good reason to eat those colorful fruits and vegetables.
Many women who suffer from infertility and recurrent miscarriage may have something called "luteal phase defect" where hormone levels are insufficient in the second half of their menstrual cycle. Here is an article which talks about a study on vitamin C and how it may help with this problem:

One hundred fifty women with luteal phase defect seeking medical attention for infertility were enrolled in the current study. Levels of estrogen and progesterone were monitored for three menstrual cycles. The participants were randomly assigned to receive 750 mg of vitamin C per day or no treatment beginning at the onset of the third cycle of the study. During the third cycle, progesterone levels increased significantly in women receiving vitamin C but did not change in women receiving no treatment. Estrogen levels also increased in the treatment group but not the untreated group. Moreover, there was a significantly higher pregnancy rate in the vitamin C group than in the untreated group: 25% of the women receiving vitamin C became pregnant within six months of starting treatment, while only 11% of untreated women became pregnant in the same time period.

The results of this preliminary study suggest that vitamin C improves hormone levels and increases fertility in some women with luteal phase defect. Placebo-controlled trials are needed to confirm the benefits observed in this study and to identify the amount of vitamin C that has the best effect on luteal phase defect. Vitamin C is inexpensive and safe, and could be useful as an early intervention in the treatment of infertility due to luteal phase defect.

Getting Pregnant Over 40, Raise Your Vibration To Tap Into The Universal Power

 Ive written before about the law of attraction and how you will attract what you desire when you have a high positive "vibration".  If you are trying to conceive and your are in a constant state of disappointment because you are not getting pregnant, you create a vicious circle that spirals downward.
Babies are pure positive energy - you need to raise your vibration to attract one into your life. At the risk of sounding a bit "new agey"....I must say it works.  Here are some tried and true ways I change my vibration:

• Listen to your favorite music, this can be done anytime (while driving, walking, at home or at work).  I prefer upbeat music that is a bit faster pace.
• Take a walk outside, if you can, remove your shoes to connect with the earths energy (there are actually studies that show that connecting with the earth can heal and improve well-being)
• Start a gratitude journal.  Appreciate all the positive aspects of your life, this will help you to attract more of what you want.
• Practice visualization and meditation.  When I was trying to conceive, I constantly would daydream about my future child.  I would find myself smiling when I did this.  (see more about visualization and meditation here.)
• Prepare your favorite meal or try a new recipe.  Cooking can be a very creative art.  I always love to make up my own dishes and make them with healthy ingredients.
• Dont let yourself get too hungry.  Its hard to be in a good mood when your body is craving food.
• Find an opportunity to help others.  When I was trying to conceive, I ran an infertility support group.  It was really a relief to focus on helping others rather than myself.

post pregnancy weight loss girdle | CAN POSITIVE THINKING HELP YOU GET PREGNANT

Believe me, Im not a "Pollyanna" who always sees the glass half full, but I have learned how to visualize what I want and know that somehow, someway, Im going to get it. I guess Id put that in the category of positive thinking. Here is an article about positive thinking and how it may help you conceive (and how negative emotions may be keeping you from your goal):

SEE ALSO: MEDITATION AND VISUALIZATION FOR FERTILITY AND GETTING PREGNANT (Getpregnantover40.com)

From the article

A study published in 2005 in the Italian fertility journal, Minerva Ginecologica, suggests that emotional stress can cause severe upheaval in a woman’s reproductive cycle. Women with fertility problems were found to have very high levels of the stress hormone cortisol in their bloodstream. This is the same hormone that has been found to shut down ovulation in female athletes. The study also discovered that more than 5% of all women experienced disruptions in the menstrual cycles merely because of emotional stress. This can make conception difficult or even impossible for some couples.

A study performed in 2001 at the University of California at San Diego analyzed women undergoing differing levels of depression. This study found that women who showed the most markers of depression were up to 93% less likely to become pregnant than their less-depressed peers. A study performed in 1992 showed similar results for men who were experiencing depression. Couples in which the male partner was depressed were much less likely to conceive than those couples who were not going through depression.

In 1995, a study at Brown University in Rhode Island also concluded that depression and infertility appear to be linked. In this study regarding women’s mental health, Brown University researchers discovered that women with a past history of depression were up to twice as likely to undergo examinations for fertility concerns."

...Does Positive Thinking Work?
According to recent studies, there is some merit in maintaining positive thought patterns when it comes to improving fertility. A study was performed in 2000 examining the effects of positive thinking on fertility rates in women struggling with infertility.

The 184 women involved in the study were divided into three separate groups: a cognitive restructuring group (those that took cognitive restructuring lessons), a support group (those who attended support groups to deal with the emotional stress of infertility), and a control group (those who sought no additional support for their infertility). Pregnancy rates amongst the women in the control reached only 20%, while pregnancy rates for the other two groups were between 54% and 55%. Therefore, it appears that the power of positive thought really may have an influence on your fertility.

post pregnancy weight loss how long | TRYING TO CONCEIVE ON HOLIDAYS THERES NO FIREWORKS!

post pregnancy weight loss how long

Trying To Conceive and Independence Day

Remember those old re-runs of a program called "Love American Style" (or in my case you saw them the first time around)?
Fireworks represented the love and infatuation associated with your relationship and/or marriage. Well, no matter how good your relationship is, when youre trying to conceive, every aspect of your life revolves around ovulation. Intercourse can become a total chore and no, there are absolutely no fireworks. I remember a few years on independence day, I was ovulating and we could hear our neighbors shooting off firecrakers--there we were trying to "get the job done". UGGGGHHHH...not pleasant memories at all.

Independence day is another one of those family oriented holidays. All you see around you are families packing up the car to go watch fireworks displays, kid-oriented events, BBQs etc. Its another holiday where you stick out like a sore thumb. I recall going to a function with my husbands sister and their kids. We met a few of their friends and then the bomb dropped. One of their friends (who was there with his four kids) says to me..."Ill bet you guys have a bunch of kids right?" I was so taken off guard...he immediately sensed me squirming as I said sheepishly..."Uh no, we dont have any". End of conversation.
After that, we decided to have our own way of enjoying the holiday. We stayed away from BBQs and had a nice dinner out. Hey, whatever works. Im not saying you shouldnt join in (because we did that too), but you should do whatever helps you deal with the situation at the time.

So, whatever you do this holiday, please enjoy it safely and dont be afraid to go out and have some fun - even if its not in the traditional way.
