Fertility Tips

Tips To Select Your Fertility Doctor And Increase The Chances of Pregnancy
Executive Summary about Infertity Treatment Tips By Temmina Masher

If you become pregnant, that's terrific! If you do not become pregnant under the care of your OB/GYN physician, ask him or her about a referral to a fertility specialist. But you should understand about your doctor's educational background and his specialized training. That way you can be sure that you have the best doctor for your particular situation.

Obstetricians/Gynecologists
As far as fertility evaluation, the OB/GYN is capable of beginning some initial pregnancy testing and treatment. For example, your OB/GYN doctor may order blood tests, perform a laparoscopy, or prescribe a trial of a low-dose fertility medication. The amount of fertility evaluation and treatment that your OB/GYN can provide is likely the result of the doctor's own training, interest, and comfort in the field of fertility.

Tips to consider regarding OB/GYN physicians
Most of the tests and procedures done are covered by your health insurance.
•You may already know and feel comfortable with this doctor.
•These doctors are not specially trained or focused on fertility concerns.
•Being around lots of big, pregnant women in the waiting room might be depressing for you.
•Tests and procedures that you undergo with an OB/GYN may have to be repeated by the fertility specialist.

Reproductive Endocrinologists
The reproductive endocrinologist has even more training than the OB/GYN doctor. These doctors have completed all of the requirements of the OB/GYN physician just discussed plus two to three additional years of fertility and reproductive procedure training. Most women use these doctors when they need additional assistance to become pregnant or avoid recurrent miscarriages. The reproductive endocrinologist is trained to diagnose and treat both female and male fertility issues. Of course, these doctors prescribe fertility medications and carry out advanced laparoscopy and hysteroscopic procedures.

Tips to consider regarding reproductive endocrinologists:
•These doctors are the genuine fertility specialists-their education, training, and practice are focused on fertility.
•These doctors are capable of performing advanced reproductive technologies.
•Some of these doctors' services may be covered by your health insurance, but most are not.
•You probably don't know this doctor yet and will need to spend time getting to know and becoming comfortable with him or her.

About Pregnancy

Pregnancy is the most studied of all. Is the surgical field that studies and cares for high risk pregnancy. Is the non-surgical field that cares for pregnancy and pregnant women. Pregnancy may be a normal state, but the list of food, drinks and activities to avoid gets longer. The department of health warns against:. Soft and blue-veined cheese, such as camembert, brie and stilton, pate, potato salad and coleslaw, ready meals and reheated food, in case they are contaminated with listeria, a bacterium which can cause miscarriage.
Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. This is the term used to describe the range of effects--from behavioral problems to heart defects--that can result from alcohol exposure before birth. The most severe effect is fetal alcohol syndrome (fas), one of the most common known causes of mental retardation and the only cause that is entirely preventable. Studies by the cdc suggest that between 1,000 and 6,000 babies in the united states are born yearly with fas. It is also estimated that for every child born with fas, three additional children are born who may not have the physical characteristics of fas but still experience neurobehavioral deficits resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure that affect learning and behavior. Studies reporting on moderate alcohol consumption are emerging. Numerous long-term studies have reported without doubt that heavy drinking puts a baby's health at risk.
Pregnancy is complicated by allergies and asthma. Asthma is the most common potentially serious medical condition to complicate pregnancy. In fact, asthma affects approximately 8 percent of women in their childbearing years. Well-controlled asthma is not associated with significant risk to mother or fetus. Uncontrolled asthma can cause serious complications to the mother, including high blood pressure, toxemia, premature delivery and rarely death. For the baby, complications of uncontrolled asthma include increased risk of stillbirth, fetal growth retardation, premature birth, low birth weight and a low apgar score at birth.
