pregnancy loss 145x177 Understanding Recurrent Pregnancy Loss Approximately 50 percent of fertilized oocytes end in spontaneous abortion, most occurring before or at the time of the next expected menses. Of clinically recognized pregnancies, 15 percent result in miscarriage. Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) has been defined as three or more spontaneous losses, usually in the first trimester. However, evaluation after two losses (up to 5% of couples) has been recommended due to the similar diagnostic yield following the work-up for two vs. three losses. Etiologies of RPL consist of genetic, anatomic, endocrinologic, immunologic and unexplained. Advanced maternal age, cigarette smoking, alcohol and heavy coffee use have all been associated with RPL. Recently, cocaine and tobacco use have been implicated. No study has established a definite role for infections in RPL. Read more…

Ovulation Cycle

Knowing the science behind your cycle of ovulation may help to understand better when you can be more fertile and have the best chance of conceiving. Although it happens every month, the ovulation cycle is unique, customized for your body and influenced by what is happening in your daily life. Things like stress and big changes in your normal routine can lead to a significant change in the ovulation cycle, which can be painful when you are trying to conceive.

The first part of the cycle of ovulation is the follicular phase. From the first day of the menstrual period, this phase continues until ovulation occurs. This part of the cycle may last 7-40 days, and may vary due to many factors such as age, stress, illness, travel, etc.

The second part of the cycle is called the luteal phase and begins the day of ovulation until the first day of your period. This is a more precise chronology and usually lasts between 12 to 16 days after the day of ovulation. With this in mind, you can try to reduce the amount of stress and changes in your routines only during the ovulation phase, because ovulation is highly influenced by these factors.

How do you know when you ovulating?  One way to keep track is through the study and monitoring of cervical mucus and/or basal body temperature to determine when ovulation occurs. Once you know your particular pattern, you can monitor every month to track your times of fertility. With this knowledge, you can time your “baby-making” sessions and then look for any early symptoms of pregnancy two weeks later. Of course, how often and when will be the best time to get pregnant may be different for different people depending on their unique personal circumstances.

If the egg is not fertilized during the ovulation cycle, you will see the hormone levels drop significantly and the uterine lining begins to shed. This will be about 12 to 16 days after ovulation and is cycle day one of your period.  Once this happens, a whole new ovulation cycle begins.
Although this seems confusing and complicated at first, understanding your ovulation cycle will enable you to have the best chance of conceiving fast.
