I'm sitting here in bed where it's warm, quiet and calm. And all I can think about are my fears. I have a few, but the one I am overcoming at this present moment has to do with my laptop. At night, I like to sit in bed, working on my laptop on my lap, but the later it gets, the lower I tend to recline making the laptop rest somewhere between my thighs and ribcage. The bottom of the laptop gets a bit warm after a while and my fear is that whatever is happening to cause this laptop heat is frying my ovaries rendering me forever infertile. Maybe it's time to read a book.
Add to Onlywire It is a known fact that obesity reduces the chances of a woman in conceiving naturally, as well as having possible serious consequences on the health of both mother and baby.

By nature I tend to be a proactive person. Normally if there is something bothering me or causing me a lot of stress, I like to try to do what I can to find a solution to the problem. However, not all of life’s dilemmas can be tackled with this approach, especially when it comes to infertility. In this case there is absolutely nothing that can cure the heartache of knowing what you want, but no matter how hard you try to reach it, it still alludes you.
In August when I went to a doctor’s appointment at a Women’s Health and REI Clinic, I was sorely disappointed when I was told by the doctor, whom I really like, that I had already exhausted all the conceiving tricks she had up her sleeve. Granted there is still in vitro fertilization and artificial insemination, but both of those options cost a considerable amount of money … especially for poor college students. It is also hard to know if this is the route to go for us since getting pregnant is only half my b

Women who followed a combination of five or more lifestyle factors, including changing specific aspects of their diets, experienced more than 80 percent less relative risk of infertility due to ovulatory disorders compared to women who engaged in none of the factors, according to a new study. The study was led by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) and did not examine risk associated with other kinds of infertility, such as low sperm count in men.
The key message of this paper is that making the right dietary choices and including the right amount of physical activity in your daily life may make a large difference in your probability of becoming fertile if you are experiencing problems with ovulation,” said Walter Willett, senior author and chair of the HSPH Department of Nutrition.
Infertility affects one in six couples, according to studies in the U.S. and Europe. Ovulatory problems have been identified in 18 to 30 percent of those cases.

Then we would rule out other problems of the lower urinary tract which can give rise to the same symptoms as BPH and some relevant tests, if necessary. This is the voiding diary we just talked about and this is the symptom score. These are mainly in the form of seven questions which the patient would circle 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We then go down the list and calculate the total score. The maximum you can score is 35 which is the worst. So depending upon what symptoms the patient has, then we’ll score.
As an addendum to that symptom score, at the bottom there is a quality of life grading. They would grade their satisfaction to their lifestyle at present, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and again the 5 is worst. I also usually look at the this score at the same time as the symptom score itself because that will then give me an idea if the patient has circled 3, he is not happy, he is dissatisfied, 4 would be he is unhappy and 5 is very unhappy with his quality of life. Then we do the grading of the symptom scor
Research has confirmed the empirical link between obesity and infertility by showing the "fat eggs" of obese women do not develop into healthy embryos.
The eggs were damaged by high levels of fat and cholesterol, which made diet a key factor in infertility, according to research by PhD student Cadence Minge from the Adelaide University Research Centre for Reproductive Health.

If you use the Laptop Computer on your lap for long durations, here's a warning from the Human Reproduction journal.The combination of heat generated by the laptop and the posture needed to balance the equipment on the lap leads to raised temperatures around the scrotum that could damage fertility.Just sitting with the thighs together in order to balance the laptop caused scrotal temperatures to rise by 2.1°C. But when the laptop was in use average temperatures rose by 2.6°C on the left of the scrotum and 2.8°C on the right.Sources : Labnol , Laptop computer risk to fertility http://oophs.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
