MEN IT'S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC Did you know that

MEN IT'S TIME TO FACE THE MUSIC
Did you know that approximately 40-50% of fertility issues is due to "male factor" infertility? That's right! one of the reasons why couples struggle to conceive are due to something not quite right with the man's spermy guys in 40-50% of cases. Based on my clinical experience though, I would dare say it is actually a higher percentage that this.
The main issues are lack of movement or moving in the wrong direction (motility), amount of normal sperm: homer type sperm is not the aim here (morphology) and the amount of the little dudes (sperm count). I see this a lot at the clinic! Even the ones that were told that they were "fine". But really 5% normal sperm is NOT fine! (And yes I have seen this a few too many times!) Fine for IVF because they choose the "best" out of the average stash and pop the sperm in a little cart and steer it towards the egg. But is FINE enough? You need to make sure the sperm is of good quality so that you have strong robust DNA for your baby to be. The quality of your sperm determines the health of your baby. This is such a great gift to your baby to be 🙂 It is so important wherever possible for the man to take responsibility and join the preconception fertility journey with his partner. The onus shouldn't just be on the woman, we are not in the 1950's anymore. Plus this is the perfect opportunity for the man to get involved because during pregnancy and breastfeeding the man can feel a bit left out.
Start acting like a dad now!

AFRICAN FERTILITY BELIEF ⁠ ⁠ In the West Afric

AFRICAN FERTILITY BELIEF ⁠
⁠
In the West African nation of Cote D'lvoire the Baule tribesman carved some fertility statues back in the 1930's. The tribes believe that if you placed the statues on either side of a doorway leading to a bedroom and the woman or man touched the statues they will soon carry a child. ⁠
⁠
These statues are now on tour at the 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum' in Tennessee where you can see for yourself and then touch the statues.

And if you can't be there in person; you can send a selfie of your hands and they will rub them on the statue for you.⁠

IN THE MOOD FOR A BABY ⁠ ⁠ A good time to try

IN THE MOOD FOR A BABY ⁠
⁠
A good time to try is when you are feeling 'randy'..."Do I make you horny baby, do I?" (ha ha can't help but throw in an Austin Powers quote). The reason why is because just before ovulation oestrogen is at it's peak. ⁠
⁠
Higher oestrogen will increase your cervical mucus making it more fluid (easier for the swimmers AKA sperm to swim through). It intensifies your sense of smell (hello pheromones! translation - you are attracted to the whiff of your man) and it increases your libido. Consequently this is the same time you would be fertile. So go for it Glennis! Hopefully he is in the mood too 😉 ⁠

'TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST FOREVER'⁠
⁠
When times are tough, it can seem like everything is against you. Take comfort in the fact that those difficulties we face are only transient. When we make it through the other side we can handle just about anything. What we are faced with afterwards seems so trivial. As a result we grow strength to strength and learn great lessons from it. ⁠

SMOKE HARMS HORMONES My heart goes out to all tho

SMOKE HARMS HORMONES
My heart goes out to all those impacted by the bush fires in Australia people and animals that have lost their homes. The smell of smoke & Haze is bad enough all over Melbourne. So I can't even imagine what it would be like right in the heart of the fire affected areas.
Big love & gratitude to firefighters & volunteers. In this type of situation you see people working together supporting each other, giving what they can & it's so warming to see. There are lots of ways that you can support those affected by the fires. The best way is through donation so that they can get supplies for the things that are really needed. If you are short on funds you can send your best wishes, love and positive vibes to those people going through a tough time.
Or you can take a few deep breaths and do a meditation and visualisation picturing rain coming down, feeling it on your face, seeing it on the news where people are overjoyed with the relief from the fires, seeing the rain putting out the fires. Visualisation is a very powerful technique to contribute.
There are so many organisations you can donate to:

@wireswildliferescue @cfavic @salvationarmy @wildlifevictoria @rspcaaustralia @nswrfs @redcrossau
And so so many more....It can be overwhelming to pick but even donating to one of these giving any amount you can afford will make a big difference.
For some ways to cope with smoke inhalation and poor air quality and protect your body from breathing in these toxins, I have saved a video in the highlights under 'Fire tips' for some things you can do. Don't forget that smoke can impact your hormone balance too so please be mindful of that (toxins pretend to be oestrogen i.e xeno-oestrogen and cause hormone imbalance) and implement the tips that I suggested. *

EGGCELLENT FERTILITY FOOD ⁠ ⁠ Eggs are a nutri

EGGCELLENT FERTILITY FOOD ⁠
⁠
Eggs are a nutritious powerhouse providing important goodies for fertility. They contain B vitamins, Choline (which is VIP for your egg quality), protein, selenium, Vitamin D, Zinc, Iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin E.⁠
⁠
I would like to put the spotlight on Choline. It is such and important nutrient. ⁠
⁠
For the ladies: ⁠
⁠
Choline reduces the risk of miscarriage & plays an important role in neural tube development. Decreasing risk of neural tube defects like Spina Bifida. ⁠
⁠
For the lads: ⁠
⁠
Choline is a needed energy source for sperm motility (go go juice for ability of sperm to charge up the reproductive tract towards the egg). ⁠
⁠
So make sure that you are eating eggs; preferably organic and free range is best 🙂 ⁠
⁠
Like if you learnt something new. ⁠

ROMANTIC FLICK FERTILITY ⁠
⁠
Guys it's time to grit your teeth and get cosy with your lady friend and 'enjoy' a soppy romantic movie. Research shows it can boost progesterone more than 10% in women. Healthy progesterone levels are vital for your fertility ladies! The word progesterone comes from the latin word 'gestare' which means to bear or carry. ⁠
⁠
It was also shown to improve the bond between the couple watching this type of movie. So sitting through the cringe worthy movie might just be worth your while lads! So BYO tissues and arrange that romantic date night 😉 ⁠

DON'T WAIT FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT TO ARRIVE⁠ ⁠

DON'T WAIT FOR THE PERFECT MOMENT TO ARRIVE⁠
⁠
If there is something you are wanting to do, don't wait for the 'right moment' or the 'right time' because that may never come or be ideal in your mind. Just take a moment and make it perfect. ⁠
⁠
For those perfectionists out there (big wave! I am one too) it's important to let go of it being perfect & just do it! It's less of a 'brain strain' that way. A win win all round 🙂 ⁠
⁠
Like if you agree 🙂 ⁠

WHAT AM I? ⁠
⁠
If you guessed the rocky terrain on a planet, you are close but not quite. I exist in pairs, I hang down to keep cool, my texture is ripply, I contain tiny little swimmers (that one will probably give it away!). This is the up close and personal view of a testicle! This is where the sperm factory is located (where sperm develop, grow up, live) and where the 'manly' hormone testosterone is produced. They are approx 2 to 3 inches long and 1 inch wide. It is common for one testicle to be bigger than the other one (usually the right one). And usually the left one hangs lower than the right one. ⁠
⁠
Normally the testicles are located behind the penis.....but extraordinarily in the movie 'Something about Mary' Ted (played by Ben Stiller) had the beans over the frank ha ha ha "Franks and Beans". Not an ideal scenario! Very youchy!⁠
⁠
So put your hands together for the testicles because they are pretty awesome! ⁠
