New Guidelines For Egg Freezing


Sat, 05/02/2009 - 12:32 — Elizabeth

 

Egg freezing was originally put into place so that young women could have a chance at motherhood even though they may become infertile due to treatments related to disease and cancer.  It also has served the purpose of allowing women to postpone motherhood until after 35 years of age. Because of the very real chance of the eggs becoming damaged when thawed, the American Society For Reproductive Medicine (ARSM) reviewed the practice of freezing eggs and made some new recommendations. One recommendation was that the process should not be used to delay motherhood.  In fact, they believe that counseling for folks considering freezing their eggs should be mandated. During the counseling, the ARSM feels that the potential problems associated with freezing and thawing eggs should be stressed.  Again, they did feel as if the process was appropriate for those with illnesses that leave women with no other options for motherhood. At this point, freezing eggs is still considered an experimental procedure therefore is not considered medically necessary. To see the entire article:  http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/86414.php

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.
