19.01.2022 Happy International Chocolate Day! There are so many great things about chocolate besides its flavour; it’s high in antioxidants, high in fibre, contains fat to keep you full, improves mood and if you go dark enough, low in sugar too. Sounds pretty good, right? But, have you ever wondered if chocolate is okay to eat when trying to conceive? Good news, yes it is (insert cheers and clapping here)! However, (buzz kill alert) it’s important to remember that not all chocolate i...s created equal and moderation is key. When deciding what chocolate to eat, try 70% cacao or higher dark chocolate to satisfy your cravings. Enjoy a chocolate square, make hot cocoa or sprinkle it on top of your smoothie for some powerful phyto-nutrients and antioxidants - the options are limitless! So how does this affect your fertility? Actually, there are a few ways. On the mood front, dark chocolate has been shown to lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol; this is beneficial because too much stress can delay ovulation (not helping our goal). Chocolate also prevents stress as it stimulates the production of serotonin and dopamine, your good mood neurotransmitters. The happier you are, the less stressed you feel (hooray)! Finally, the flavonoids (compounds found in plants that promote health) in dark chocolate also promote good moods and encourage blood flow to the uterus and ovaries. Simple equation: chocolate = happinessdone! On the nutritional front, dark chocolate is loaded with minerals that help maintain hormonal balance including magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, and potassium. These minerals are vital for egg and sperm health, ovulation, endometrial lining thickness, and strong bones. Magnesium is especially important because it has been shown to ease the symptoms of fatigue, depression, and irritability (some feelings that inevitably come along with the fertility rollercoaster). Finally, consuming dark chocolate semi-regularly may help lower blood pressure and reduce sugar cravings. It can even help reduce levels of hunger (magical)! You can now indulge (it moderation) without the guilt! @wearerobyn credited The Truth About Chocolate & Fertility

13.01.2022 IVF or ICSI? In an IVF cycle you may hear your doctors referring to IVF and ICSI. While it may result in differences of fertilisation rates (more on that below), it makes no difference to your stimulation or your cycle procedures, it is simply how the eggs are going to be inseminated. Your cycle will still start with controlled ovarian stimulation, monitoring and then trigger injection, followed by your egg collection. After egg collection, the eggs need to meet with the ...sperm, and this needs to happen with either IVF or ICSI. With IVF, a measured concentration of washed sperm is placed with the eggs. This is the more natural, less invasive way, as the eggs are not manipulated. Your doctor may be happy for you to have IVF done if: - You have had natural pregnancies before - You have good sperm quality - You have not had poor or failed fertilisation in the past ICSI stands for Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection and is a process in which the eggs are stripped of their fluffy cumulus cells and examined for the presence of a polar body. Eggs with a polar body are mature and can be injected with a single sperm. Your doctor may suggest ICSI if you fit into some specific criteria such as: - History of poor fertilisation - Very poor sperm count or motility - High dna fragmentation - Are having particular types of genetic testing done So, is one better than the other? No. Statistically, success rates with IVF and ICSI are comparable and it’s up to your individual circumstances and for your doctor to recommend what is better for you. Sometimes, some patients do better with one over the other, and some clinics actually perform ICSI in all cycles as that’s how they get their best results. Whichever method you have done, know that your specialist has your best interests in mind and is making the best decisions for your situation. Thank you @the.ivf.warrior for the wonderful explanation! #ivfadelaide #fertilityadelaide

13.01.2022 Did you see us on 10 News First last night? We sure make some cute babies, including the lovely little Ellie! Fertility treatment success rates are on the rise for older women in Australia, with one in 10 babies now born to mothers over 35 via IVF. A record one in 10 babies born to women aged 35 and older are now conceived via IVF, with an increasing number of women using frozen embryos to screen out any chromosomal abnormalities.... Australia's IVF success rates are improving, with 27 per cent of embryo transfers resulting in a live birth, the latest analysis of the Australian and New Zealand Assisted reproductive database (ANZARD) shows. One in 20 babies are now conceived with IVF. Nearly two thirds of all IVF babies were from a frozen embryo transfer.

04.01.2022 Infertility and pregnancy loss are incredibly difficult. So difficult, that sometimes it feels impossible to put into words just how crippling their affects can be. Whether you're going through a loss right now or experienced one weeks, months, or even years ago, those overwhelming, devastating feelings can emerge at anytime, and feel so fresh and crushing. I want to remind every single one of you, whatever you're currently feeling is valid.... Healing is not linear. There's no timeline for grief. No right or wrong way to feel. But know that grief takes times. Loss comes in many forms, as does pain and grief. With so many affected by loss, it's important to remember to always be kind and know that everyone grieves differently. For anyone struggling today, we see you. Today and every day, you matter, your story matters, your loss matters. October 15th is pregnancy and infant loss awareness day. The day aims to create a wave of light spreading love and light to the little ones gone too soon. Let's honour and remember the babies who didn't make it into our arms, or who left them too early. #pregnancyandinfantlossawareness @the.ivf.warrior
