Hand Sanitizers May Hurt Fertility

I talk in my book about how you should avoid some hand sanitizers if you are trying to conceive - especially those with triclosan. Triclosan can be quite dangerous and it is in a number of consumer products, not just hand sanitizers. Please read the labels and do your research! I was surprised to find out that triclosan isnt just a hormone disruptor, its also a carcinogen. Yikes!

From the article:

The EPA considers triclosan a high risk for human health and the environment. When introduced in 1972, triclosan was confined to health care settings in a surgical scrub.1-4

Triclosan may not be a familiar term to most consumers, though it is now ubiquitous in most American households, masquerading under the unassuming term, "antimicrobial." In the United States, "antimicrobial" has become synonymous with cleanliness and good health.

The chemical industry has fostered a fear of germs among American consumers and developed a lucrative market selling products designed to protect us from germs. The EPA estimates sales of antimicrobial products now constitute a billion dollar per year industry...

...The chemical structure of triclosan resembles certain estrogens. One study on a species of Japanese fish did not indicate any estrogenic effects, but found androgenic effects resulting in changes in fin length and sex ratios.2

Triclosan is lipophilic, attaching to fatty tissue. It can accumulate in the liver, lungs, and kidneys, reaching toxic levels. As a chlorophenol, it is categorized as a persistent organic pollutant, along with dioxins and PCBs. These chemicals persist in the environment and bioaccumulate up the food chain. Being at the top of the food chain, humans harbor the most concentrated amounts of these toxic chemicals.2-4

Triclosans use is already so widespread it has made its way into the human body. Studies show triclosan residues in the umbilical cord blood of infants and in the breast milk of nursing mothers.9 Triclosan has not been thoroughly tested nor evaluated for potential risks to human health and the environment though it is in a category of very toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. It is chemically similar to Agent Orange.

Trying To Get Pregnant - Obesity Complications

What does diet have to do with fertility? Ive read that approximately 60% of American adults are overweight and children arent far behind
If you ever travel to other countries, you start looking around and wonder, "Hmmmm...where are all the fat people?" But that might not be for long. As other countries get more "Americanized", they are seeing their rates of obesity climb. Ive read that its almost "trendy" to eat American fast food in other countries.

So, why am I talking about diet and weight on a fertility blog? If youve done any reading about enhancing fertility youve undoubtedly heard that being overweight can affect fertility for both women and men. But now, were finding out that even if you do succeed in getting pregnant, you might hurt your babys future fertility.
When I started my all natural journey to pregnancy, I completely changed how and what I ate. Im glad I did because I still eat just as healthy now and I know that I will never have a weight problem. As a matter of fact, I currently weigh two pounds less than before I got pregnant. I realize all those "bad" foods are quite tasty, but once you starting eating fruits and vegetables daily, you start to prefer them.

Give it a try. Your baby will thank you.

 Here is an article from the BBC News:

Lead researcher Dr Michael Davies from the Research Centre in Reproductive Health at the University of Adelaide, said: "We may reasonably expect an epidemic of menstrual and fertility diseases as a consequence."

His team interviewed 544 women who had been born between 1973 and 1974, which meant they were now aged between 30 and 32.
The women were asked about their medical history. Their records were also checked to assess their own birth weight and the weight of their mothers at the last clinical examination before they had given birth.
The women who reported having irregular periods were far more likely to have been large babies and their mothers were more likely to have been obese while carrying them in the womb.

baby weight loss causes | HEAVY EXERCISE SHOWN TO CAUSE FERTILITY PROBLEMS

Workouts May Hurt Fertility

Ive posted before about the association between vigorous exercise and infertility or delayed fertility.  With Halloween over and more holiday eating just ahead, women may feel the need to workout more to counterbalance all of the additional calories.
Here is an article about a study which confirms that exercises such as running or aerobics may reduce the chances of a woman getting pregnant.  The article also mentions that it may be harder for a fertilized egg to implant if a woman is too active.  Read more:

SEE ALSO: HOW STRESS CAN CAUSE MISCARRIAGE AND FERTILITY PROBLEMS (Getpregnantover40.com)

The researchers found that moderate exercise, such as walking, cycling or gardening, was associated with getting pregnant more quickly for all women, regardless of weight.
Women who spent more than five hours per week doing moderate exercise were 18 percent more likely to become pregnant during any given menstrual cycle than women who performed moderate exercise for less than an hour each week.
However, normal-weight and very lean women who reported high levels of vigorous exercise, such as running or aerobics, took longer to get pregnant. Those who exercised vigorously for more than five hours each week had a 32 percent lower chance of becoming pregnant during a given cycle than women who did not exercise vigorously at all...

... Having too little body fat may be a factor for some women, and its known that competitive female athletes and very underweight women sometimes experience menstrual irregularities.
Exercise may also affect the fertilized eggs ability to implant in the uterus. One previous study of women undergoing in vitro fertilization found a higher risk of implantation failure among women who did a lot of running or cycling.

pregnancy weight loss exercises | PCOS MAY MAKE WOMEN FERTILE LONGER

 Ovaries of Women With PCOS Are Active At Older Age

Youve probably already heard of PCOS by now (polycystic ovarian syndrome) which can lead to infertility.
There are ways to overcome PCOS naturally with diet and the right nutrients.
 The good news is, according to this article, many women with this disorder eventually conceive with and without help. The other bit of good news is they may be fertile longer. Read more:

About 7 per cent of reproductive-age women have PCOS, which features irregular periods, high levels of male hormones and greater numbers of developing follicles, or cysts, on the surface of their ovaries. In a normal ovary, a few follicles appear each month, one or two of which mature and release an egg; the rest die off. Women with PCOS ovulate less often because their extra follicles interfere with normal hormonal activity and stop follicles maturing past a certain stage. This is how PCOS lowers fertility.

Now it looks like that is not the end of the story. Miriam Hudecova and colleagues at Uppsala University in Sweden interviewed 91 women who were 35 or older and had been diagnosed with PCOS when younger. They found the women had undergone just as many pregnancies and borne as many babies, on average, as PCOS-free women of the same age. Some of the women with PCOS had been treated for infertility, but more than two-thirds had become pregnant without such help.

Hudecova also examined most of the women and found that the ovaries of the older women with PCOS showed signs of being more active, with better hormone levels and more eggs available, than those of control women of the same age (Human Reproduction, DOI: 10.1093/humrep/den482). "As they get older, the chance of getting pregnant may actually be higher," says Hudecova.

weight loss during pregnancy gestational diabetes | HOW IRON CAN HELP YOUR FERTILITY

weight loss during pregnancy gestational diabetes

Pregnancy Over 40 Ovulation and Fertility Helped With Iron

If your multivitamin doesnt contain iron, you might want to think about eating iron fortified foods and cereals.
This study cited below talks about how iron deficiencies can lead to problems with ovulation:

“Our results suggest that women who are planning to become pregnant may improve their fertility by consuming non-heme iron which is found in iron supplements, multivitamins, legumes and spinach,” said Dr. Jorge E. Chavrarro, from the department of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Medicine.

SEE ALSO: FERTILITY DIET, FERTILITY FOODS (Getpregnantover40.com)

For the study, Chavarro and colleagues used data from a large study of 18,000 registered nurses between the ages of 24 and 42. Over the course of 8 years, the researchers noted that there were over 3,500 cases of infertility among the women involved. Of those who went for further testing to find the source of their infertility, 438 women found they were having difficulty becoming pregnant because of an ovulatory disorder, meaning their body had trouble producing viable eggs.

Looking at the iron intake of these women, the researchers found that those women who used iron supplements had about a 40 percent lower risk of having an ovulatory disorder. In fact, women who took supplements with high iron content—more than 41 milligrams a day—lowered their risk of an ovulatory problem by 70 percent. "

baby weight loss day 11 | DRUGS MAY NOT SOLVE FERTILITY PROBLEMS

baby weight loss day 11

 Pregnancy Over 40, Fertility Over 40, Fertility Drugs May Not Be The Answer

Im not going to talk about illicit drugs here. Im going to talk about how most people in our society including those in the healthcare industry think there is a pill out there to fix everything.
 I really got to thinking about this when an older relative had hip replacement surgery and was left in a state of confusion, disorientation and "delirium". The scary thing is he was perfectly fine before he went under the knife. Apparently all of the drugs he was prescribed blocked the necessary signals needed for proper brain function. He had to be discharged to a locked Alzheimers unit until his mental status cleared up. Hes fine now that hes been taken off the drugs, but what a nightmare!!

Many Fertility Drugs May Actually Cause Rather Than Cure Conditions

It just goes to show you how mainstream medicine may actually cause rather than cure many conditions. Take infertility for example...I wonder how much longer it took me to get pregnant and stay pregnant because of all of the fertility drugs. If you take the time to read all of the side affects and possible complications its downright scary!   Some fertility drugs even say they can cause birth defects.

SEE ALSO: DO YOU REALLY NEED IVF OVER 40? (getpregnantover40.com)

I had a number of complications from fertility drugs...everything from hyperstimulation of my ovaries (which can be life threatening), to mood swings, to ectopic pregnancy (which is more common with IVF).

Its just that you want a baby so bad, youre willing to do anything! The best I can do for you is to share my 20/20 hindsight. Cleaning up your lifestyle, eating hormone regulating foods and changing your mindset is certainly healthier, less expensive, and less stressful than anything else out there! Trust and respect your body. Give it the right nutrients and the proper care. It will reward you with excellent health and the best prize of all--you may get pregnant.

baby weight loss due to cold | SUPPORT GROUPS INCREASE PREGNANCY RATES

baby weight loss due to cold

I never thought I was a "support group" person, but after a number of years of going through assisted reproduction and suffering a number of miscarriages, I thought a support group might really help - especially since I wanted to keep my information private from people I knew.  The emotions build up inside of you when you go through all of the pain and anguish of assisted reproduction only to have it fail or have a miscarriage.  Additionally, after working in the corporate world and spending so much time at work, I had previously distanced myself from a lot of old friends who were on the mommy track or from people who were in a different stage of life.

SEE ALSO: REDUCE YOUR STRESS TO GET PREGNANT (getpregnantover40.com)

 I was surprised how much I really enjoyed getting together with other women who were going through the same difficult experiences. Not only was I able to talk freely and openly about my infertility and miscarrages, but I also made a number of friends who I still keep in touch with to this day.

 Women who attend infertility support groups do have higher rates of pregnancy

As we get older, it seems our social circle tends to shrink, especially if you dont have children. An organized group is a great way to meet new people and to find instant acceptance where you can not only receive support but also help support others.  In the infertility support group that I joined (and eventually ran), most of the women were at least in their 30s and a couple were also in their 40s like me.  I wasnt as sensitive about my age because of this.

This article talks about how support groups actually increase the rate of viable pregnancies in the women who participated in them:

"You might expect that women who attend a support group experience a reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety, and an increase in feelings of overall well-being. What you probably wouldnt guess is that group attendence may increase the rate of viable pregnancy as well. Research published in Fertility and Sterility (2000) demonstrated that 54% of women who attended a Resolve support group and 55% who attended the Harvard Mind/Body infertility program had a viable pregnancy within one year, compared to 20% in the control group. Patients in both groups received valuable information, support and encouragement from their peers."
