| Who Else Wants to Know What Cause Nausea During Pregnancy? Posted: 25 Nov 2009 10:09 AM PST The cause of nausea during pregnancy, also called morning sickness, is not well understood. Morning sickness is the nausea and vomiting that is experienced during the first trimester of pregnancy. There isn't any one specific exact reason for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy, there is speculation that it might be the body's response to the various changes that a woman's body is going through during pregnancy. Various different hormones are being released by a woman's system when she becomes pregnant. Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is one of the most prevalent hormones that is released during pregnancy. It is this hormone that is the one that is usually thought to cause morning sickness during pregnancy. Another hormone you need while pregnant, progesterone, hCG is responsible for production of progesterone. Originally the hCG hormone is made by the embryo inside a woman's body and then the placenta takes over to produce the progesterone hormone. It might even be the progesterone that is so critically important to your body especially during pregnancy that may be the cause of the morning sickness. This may be because the progesterone relaxes some of the muscles in your body to aid in the process of childbirth; it might also relax other muscles such as muscles in your intestines and stomach. Due to this then, it might be the case that the relaxed intestines and stomach muscles could, from the increase stomach acids being pushed up into the esophagus, which would lead to the nausea and vomiting associated with morning sickness. Estrogen is yet another hormone, that in a female of child bearing age when she is pregnant, increases and the increase in this vital hormone could be the reason for the nausea and vomiting. The cause of nausea during pregnancy could of course also, as suggested by some, be that morning sickness could happen due to the deficiencies of certain specific vitamins or minerals. If not careful with your diet then pregnancy could cause you to have a vitamin B deficiency and it has been noted that a vitamin B6 supplement has helped some women to lessen the nausea associated with pregnancy. Then again there have been studies that show that some women, pregnant or not, have had no difference in their vitamin B6 levels, so it is not fully understood why this particular vitamin eases some of the morning sickness for some women. But even so it has been shown that multivitamin intake, show evidence of making some symptoms of morning sickness less severe for some pregnant women. Nobody really knows the exact reasons why morning sickness occurs in some pregnant women and even more severely in others and why it hardly affects other pregnant women at all. There is no real specific evidence of medical value or conclusive medical study or research available, so it isn't known without a doubt to be caused by hormonal changes or even vitamin deficiencies. Since it seems that some pregnant women tend to develop an increased sensitivity to certain tastes and strong odors, which might even be the only cause of morning sickness that some women suffer. Many pregnant women could also just be more sensitive to the changes in their bodies brought on by the pregnancy or just have more sensitive gastrointestinal tracts. The actual stress on a woman's body from pregnancy changes might also contribute to the nausea and vomiting, while the accompanied stress of worrying about the morning sickness may also bring on more stress and induce even more bouts of the nausea and vomiting. For most pregnancies it is not necessary to become alarmed by the morning sickness because it doesn't last that long under normal circumstances. Some of the hormone levels will taper off about the end of the third month of pregnancy and for some women they will become use to it by then and then the morning sickness tends to just be a bad past memory. It is not a common thing for the nausea and vomiting to last the entire time that you are pregnant and that is maybe why there has not been a concerted effort to determine the cause of nausea during pregnancy.

| Sex Positions to Conceive a Boy - The Plough Sex Position Posted: 25 Nov 2009 10:06 AM PST Among the most popular sex positions to conceive a boy is the plough sex position. Insofar as the sex position necessary to conceive a boy is concerned, the plough is an excellent choice for couples. What it is, is essentially a variation of the standard missionary position. The main differences between the generic missionary position and the plough sex positions are:
Essentially, in order for a couple to increase its chances of conceiving a boy, the man and the woman must avail themselves of sexual positions that allow for the maximum deepest possible depth of penetration. Deep penetration means that the man's entire penis is submerged into the vagina at the point of full forward thrust. No portion of the penis should remain exposed. The groin of the both the male and the female must be touching. Deep penetration allows for the ejaculated sperm to land as close as possible to the cervix (or if the man has good aim, directly into the cervix). This will increase the odds for the dominant male sperm to defeat the female sperm in their quest to fertilize the egg, since the male sperm can outdo the female sperm over short distances in shorter spans of time. (Sperm cannot live more than 72 hours in the female reproductive tract.) If the man were to use shallow thrusting techniques, as is typically the case with the standard missionary position, then the sperm will land farther away from the uterus and will have to travel a farther distance and remain exposed to the elements for longer periods of time. If that is the case, then time is on the female sperms' side, as the male sperm will tend to die off more quickly. Therefore, the plough sex position (so named because the couple will look as the man is ploughing the woman) is among the best sex positions to conceive a boy.

| Infertility Symptoms - Sex, Age and Lifestyle Factors Posted: 25 Nov 2009 09:34 AM PST Definitions When a couple is unsuccessful at having a baby after 12 months of unprotected, regular intercourse, they are considered infertile. Infertility is the incapacity to reproduce. One or both partners have varying emotional reactions when they are diagnosed as infertile. Severe reactions occur more frequently among childless couples. Infertility, in couples that have never had a child, is referred to as primary infertility. On the other hand, secondary infertility describes the condition wherein couples who have successfully become pregnant once are having difficulties in getting pregnant again. The Male Factor Various physical and emotional factors trigger infertility. "Male factors" like hormone deficiency, low sperm count, impotence, retrograde ejaculation, environmental pollutants and scarring from sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) cause roughly 30 to 40% of infertility cases. Sperm count is greatly affected by certain factors like frequent marijuana use or intake of prescription medicine such as nitrofurantoin, cimetidine and spironolactone. The Female Factor Scarring from STDs, hormonal imbalances, ovulation dysfunction, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, poor nutrition, pelvic infection, tumors, and fallopian tube abnormality are examples of "female factors." These are responsible for 40 to 50% of infertility in couples. Factors contributed by both individuals and unidentifiable factors are responsible for 10 to 30% of all infertility cases. It is projected that only 10 to 20% of couples won't be able to get pregnant after one year. It is crucial that couples continue with their attempts at conception for 12 months, at the least. Age-Related Factors Healthy partners both below 30 years of age having intercourse regularly only have a 25 to 30% probability every month to become pregnant. The peak of a woman's fertility is in her 20s. The likelihood of pregnancy for women above 35 years old is less than 10% each month, even less for those beyond 40 years old. Other Non Age-Related Factors Age-related factors are not the only causes of infertility. The risk of infertility is also heightened because of the following factors:

| Posted: 25 Nov 2009 09:23 AM PST If you are a woman over the age of 40 and is trying to get pregnant, there is no reason why you cannot conceive. There are many treatment options out there for you to research and weigh the benefits and drawbacks so that you can decide what's best for you. Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), assisted reproductive technology (ART) methods, or fertility drugs are common treatment options however, if you would like to first try getting pregnant the natural way, without medical assistance, you will likely hear of charting your basal body temperature. Basal body temperature (BBT) is your temperature at rest when you first wake up in the morning. This temperature rises just slightly when you are ovulating so by keeping track of your body's BBT, you can estimate when you are most fertile. You will not be able to accurately keep track of the very slight differences in body temperature when you are ovulating with most thermometers. You will want to purchase a basal body thermometer which you can do at most pharmacies. To give an idea of how small the variation will be, you are likely to see the temperature differences of about 0.4 to 0.8 degrees Fahrenheit. Be aware that just because your temperature rises, it does not automatically mean you are ovulating. For most women though, ovulation occurs within three days after the BBT is at its highest. This should give you and your partner a good idea on when you should try to conceive as a man's sperm can live up to three days inside a woman's body. The sperm can then fertilize the egg at any time during this period. When keeping track of your BBT, you should keep in mind that there are several factors that can cause your BBT to rise. Before we get into these factors, not that you should take your BBT at the same time every morning. So here are some factors that can raise your BBT:

| Answers to the Omnipresent Question - Why Can't I Get Pregnant? Posted: 25 Nov 2009 09:20 AM PST "Why can't I get pregnant?" has become a common question, as every woman at one time or the other would have asked this question when they fail to become pregnant. Many factors influence pregnancy and have to be carefully considered. Health issues dominate all the other factors because if the couples are healthy, then there are more chances for getting pregnant. Moreover, the lifestyle changes have brought in great amount of stress both in men and women and the latter are affected more. Many working women face this problem as they need to manage both home and the office. If a woman is not successful month after month in getting pregnant, then the question "why can't I get pregnant?" naturally comes to her mind. When a woman asks to herself "why can't I get pregnant?", then it is evident that she is in great stress and is impatiently figuring out the reason. Though she knows that getting pregnant involves lot of factors, she would definitely have this question. Some of the factors that greatly influence pregnancy include infertility, constant worry, poor health, irregular menstrual cycle and so on. Given below are the various factors that affect pregnancy: Stress: To get pregnant you need to be completely relaxed so that your body will work in the natural way. Stress is one of the factors that might secrete hormones that prevent you from getting pregnant. So try to relax your mind and body through Yoga or meditation. Maternal Age: Now-a-days women wait till they have completed their education and have achieved success in their careers before they get pregnant. This has led to late marriages and advanced maternal age decreases the chances of conceiving. You should know that if you are above the age of 30 then your fertility decreases steadily and beyond this age it is better to consult a doctor. Paternal Age and health: Men's fertility plays an important role because if the sperms are not healthy, then the chances of getting pregnant are less. Generally after forty, men's fertility tends to decrease and the sperms may lose the ability to fertilize the eggs. So if your husband has fertility issues, then you might not be able to get pregnant. Therefore, it is advisable to visit the doctor as early as possible. Hormonal Problems: Hyper active or Hypoactive thyroid, polycystic ovarian syndrome, progesterone deficiency etc., can all contribute to conception problems. If you have any hormonal issues, then it is better to consult a doctor about the available treatment options. Caffeine, alcohol and drug consumption: Caffeine or alcohol or drug consumption may directly or indirectly affect pregnancy. If you consume high amounts of coffee then the chances of conceiving is less because the amount of caffeine may interfere with the ability of eggs to implant in to your uterus. So it's advisable to avoid coffee. Similarly drug and alcohol consumption should be avoided. Many other factors like type of clothing, low sperm count and other debilitating diseases, have an effect on pregnancy. So instead of asking yourself: "Why can't I get pregnant?" you can think of ways of getting pregnant. If this is still haunting you, then it is better to consult a doctor right away.
