It's Never Too Late to Become a Parent!


Sat, 05/02/2009 - 14:26 — Elizabeth

Earlier this month, a man named Mike Kuzminski became known to us because of something remarkable he did in the world of fertility.

Mike had been diagnosed with cancer 23 years ago, so he decided to freeze some of his sperm before he began treatment. He was only 18 years old when he had been given the diagnosis and for three years he fought to get rid of the cancer once and for all.

Fast forward to Mike at the age of 43…… he is cancer free AND a father. After 22 years in storage, Mike was able to use his frozen sperm to become a dad. His story is of particular interest because the successful implantation of his 22 year old sperm is the oldest on record!!

Ironically enough, he had forgotten all about it, and it was his sister that reminded him of what he had done with his sperm so many years before. His story has given way to a debate among doctors in regards to how long frozen sperm should be kept before considering it abandoned.

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
     

  • Connect with others at our online community! If you have questions about trying-to-conceive – or if you just want to vent a bit – we have a wonderful, vibrant community of people who’d just love to hear from you.
