News Anchor Discusses Infertility in Hopes of Helping Others [VIDEO]
By not in system - AOL NewsAlisyn Camerota of "Fox and Friends" tried in vain for years to have a child. She tells the "Today" show that the experience made her determined to help other women struggling with the issue. The news anchor, now a mother of three, revealed that the only time she felt solace during her infertility battle were the times she spent with her support group. Research shows that women who take part in a support group have a 50 percent increased chance at conceiving. "Miracles do happen, and I'm living proof of that," Camerota said. "And maybe I can go and share my story with women who are at rock ...
Where Have All the Sperm Gone? 1 in 5 Men Are 'Subfertile'
By Ben Muessig - AOL NewsWhen it comes to conceiving a child, a man's got to do what a man's got to do. But researchers say a growing number of men are struggling to do just that. Around the developed world, sperm counts have been dropping for decades, leaving at least one in five men ages 18 to 25 "subfertile," according to a study released last month by the European Science Foundation. While prenatal women have long been urged by doctors to improve their lifestyle to aid fertility, it appears that men haven't been holding up their end of the baby-making bargain. "The important impact of men's reproductive health ...
Infertility, IVF and Robert Edwards' Nobel Prize: A Thorny Issue Comes to the Fore
By Alison Fairbrother - Politics DailyOf this year's Nobel Prize winners, the work of British physiologist Robert G. Edwards waited longest to be recognized. His award for medicine comes 32 years after he figured out how to create the beginnings of human life outside the uterus through in vitro fertilization. I, for one, am still amazed that human life can be created inside the uterus, and feel that whoever figured out how to make that happen in a Petri dish probably deserves to be on the national currency. Even more astonishing, IVF is now fairly reliable and predictable -- low rates of complication and high rates of success, ...
In Vitro Fertilization Leads to More Baby Boys, Study Finds
By David Knowles - AOL News(Sept. 28) -- Test-tube babies are more likely to be boys, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of New South Wales reviewed the records of approximately 13,400 babies born in Australia and New Zealand since 2006 whose parents used in vitro fertilization and found that 56.1 percent of the children were boys. "When you convert that to sex ratio at birth, that's around 128 boys to 100 girls -- that's quite significant," Jishan Dean, a doctoral student who participated in the research, told the Australian Associated Press. The study, published in BJOG: An International ...
Surrogacy, Biology, Destiny: A Brave -- but Complicated -- New World
By Sarah Wildman - Politics DailyNot long after my baby was born, my partner and I ventured out to Target to pick up some essentials. I was sitting on a low shelf in the infant and toddler section, feeding the baby while I watched a beautiful couple -- the wife about a decade or so older than me, the husband probably 20 years on -- run from aisle to aisle picking up the basics of infant care (a car seat, onesies, little beanie hats). I began forming a story for them in my head: She was his second wife, I decided, and they were shopping for his grandson. I was right on the first count, but not the second: they were shopping ...
