There's always a new study coming out that suggests "this or that" can help to improve fertility. I'm a big believer in, "if it can't hurt, why not?." Some new research in a very limited study suggested that eating a can of tomato soup daily may help to boost fertility in men. The reason is a substance called lycopene which is found in tomatoes and has been touted as being very healthy in general. It works in the body better when it is cooked, which is why the tomato soup is recommended instead of eating fresh tomoatoes. In this case, since lycopene is known to be a healthy addition to any diet, I'd certainly recommend adding it to the diet for any male's who are trying to increase their fertility.

Some new research has come out claiming that women using alternative therapies along with IVF have a reduced chance of getting pregnant. This research is likely to cause some confusion as many women turn to alternative therapies to help increase their chances of pregnancy. The truth is, the study doesn't differentiate between women using herbal treatments and those using relaxation techniques such as acupuncture and/or reflexology. It makes sense that mixing herbs with infertility drugs could cause potential problems, but it seems ridiculous that stress relieving treatments could do anything other than help.

I am all for using natural methods to try to help women in their quest to become pregnant. Especially when the diagnosis is "unexplained infertility", meaning no medical cause has been found, natural methods can be extremely successful. Personally, I found acupuncture to be a determining factor in helping me to conceive, but there are many other methods to try as well.

This is a really interesting article about how single women in their late thirties and early forties are dealing with their ticking biological clocks. These women do not have a current partner to have a baby with, and they know that they are running out of time as far as the quality of their eggs are concerned. Egg freezing is now a viable option, however it unfortunately has much better results if the eggs are frozen when a woman is in her twenties, not her late thirties or early forties. The irony is, most women at age 25 are not thinking about the possiblility of being 40 without a partner and wanting a baby at that time. Read more...
