A Look Into the Future!

When we hear of medical transplants, we often think of a heart or liver, but doctors today are working on another transplant challenge…..the uterus!

The director of gynecologic oncology at the New York downtown Hospital is interested in pursuing a study that transplants healthy wombs into women wanting to become pregnant. He sees many women who either don’t have a uterus or their uterus is compromised in some way. With the hospital’s consent, he has started screening for women willing to take part in his study and the transplant surgery.

A similar study was completed in the year 2000 by doctors in Saudi Arabia. They were able to successfully transplant a human womb that was healthy and functioning for 3 months before failing. Then in 2003 in Sweden, healthy babies were born from mice that had had the womb transfer surgery.

And although Dr. Del Priore knows that he is a long way away from successfully transferring a human womb that would lead to a healthy baby, he is excited about the possibility. Amazing!!!!

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.

Find your most fertile time.
