Also with the advancement of fertility methods increasing the potential of multiple births, more twins are conceived.
The reasons for this increase vary, but they are mainly associated with the age of the mother and fertility drugs.
Fertility drugs play a major role in more multiple births as well, as does in vitro fertilization (IVF).
In fact, about 45 percent of births that are considered "assisted reproductive techniques", such as fertility drugs and IVF, are twin births.
The higher rate of multiple births is primarily due to an increase in the use of fertility drugs and the older age of many women at the time of conception.

Fertility drugs inhibit these controls, allowing multiple gestation to occur.
The normal process of single ovulation is interrupted because fertility drugs permit more than one egg at a time to mature and be released.
The chance of multiple gestation with in vitro fertilization (IVF) is about the same as with the use of fertility drugs, because several embryos are inserted into the womb to increase the odds of conception.
Similarly, other fertility techniques such as gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) and zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) are also more likely to result in multiple gestations.

If you're trying to conceive, using the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor and Clomid may help you experience the joy of a positive pregnancy test more quickly.
The ClearPlan Fertility Monitor, commonly referred to as the Clearblue Easy Fertility Monitor, offers a way to track urine levels of estrogen and lutenizing hormones to help you predict when ovulation occurs each month.
The ClearPlan Fertility Monitor is designed for women with menstrual cycles between 22 and 42 days who are looking for an easy-to-use way to track their fertility.
Once you've set the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor to be in synch with your cycle, you'll need to check the unit each morning to see if it requests a urine test.
After the urine sample is read, the unit will tell you if you are experiencing low, high, or peak fertility.
The system can store your information for several months, making it easy to provide your physician with accurate fertility data.
You can learn more about the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor or find a store that sells this product by visiting the Clearblue website.
Clomid, also known as clomiphine citrate, is a prescription oral fertility medication that is used to treat women who have ovulation problems that affect their ability to become pregnant.
Clomid is a popular choice for women struggling with infertility because it requires no painful injections and is one of the most affordable fertility drugs available.
Since the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor offers a drug-free and non-invasive way to improve your chances of successful conception, it can easily be used in conjunction with fertility treatments such as Clomid.
If you are taking Clomid or other fertility drugs, however, it's important to be aware that the results of testing done with the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor may be slightly off.
Normally, the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor has a 99 percent accuracy rate.
Unfortunately, this rate drops when a woman is using fertility drugs that alter her body's natural hormone levels.
Although numerous studies have found that the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor can reliably detect peak fertility days in women taking Clomid, it may not detect high fertility days in every case.
Of course, if you already have access to a previously purchased ClearPlan Fertility Monitor, testing while using Clomid is still a relatively simple way to take control of your fertility.
If you wish to use the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor and Clomid, ask your physician for advice.

While there are many issues involving conception of a child, one of the issues causing the most "buzz" is male fertility and laptops.
Knowing that heat has an impact on male fertility, the student asked how that amount of heat would affect a man who holds a laptop on his lap for long periods of a time.
While it cannot be fully determined if utilizing a laptop computer on one's knees and lap decreases sperm quality, count, or production, common sense says there may be some link between male fertility and laptops.
Scientific research has proven that scrotal hyperthermia can cause clinical subfertility (decreased fertility) in men.
While it's not proven indecisively that laptops can cause decreased fertility, he says it may cause irreversible or only partially reversible changes in the male reproductive cycle.
This study seems to indicate that male fertility and laptops do have a relationship.
Men's fertility levels are affected by heat.
That's why men involved in a relationship where fertility seems to be an issue are cautioned to limit time spent in saunas, hot tubs, hot baths, or from wearing tight, warm pants.

While it is possible to achieve a second pregnancy successfully by natural means, many cancer patients use fertility preservation methods to help eliminate secondary infertility and add to their family once they become cancer survivors.
Once a person has been diagnosed with cancer, he or she should speak with the doctor regarding fertility preservation.
If there is a chance you will want to expand your family after treatments, looking into various fertility preservation methods makes sense.
Sometimes a cancer treatment can be chosen that does not affect fertility, such as a radical trachelectomy (used when a woman has cervical cancer) or oophorectomy (early stage ovarian cancer treatment).
Not all forms of cancer treatment can be successful and leave fertility intact.
Men who have fertility issues are advised to have their sperm frozen.
Ovarian tissue freezing is a newer method of fertility preservation.
This surgical procedure is often recommended for those who need immediate treatment or cannot take fertility drugs.
For cancer survivors experiencing secondary infertility and who did not take fertility preservation precautions, help is still available.
Discuss various cancer treatments with your physician that can preserve your fertility, or undergo fertility preservation before you begin treatment.

Financing fertility treatments can be tough.
Most procedures are expensive and many fertility treatments may need to be done more than once.
There is no way to estimate the costs of financing fertility treatments for any one person or couple.
It depends on the health of the person or couple interested in fertility treatments, the reasons for infertility, type of treatment, how long until a treatment is successful, the clinic, and much more.
To get the best idea of your personal treatment costs, you'll need to speak with your health care provider and contact fertility clinics.
You may have other options besides insurance when it comes to covering fertility treatment costs - some options are much better than others.
If you're financing fertility treatments at all, you need to make an appointment with your tax attorney who can figure out how much you can deduct.
Your health care provider can also tell you more about foods to improve fertility.
If you look at all the information relating to fertility and the best time to conceive, it would appear that the answer to the question should be a resounding "no".
But the fact that so many women have longer or shorter cycles often throw fertility and attempts to conceive into turmoil.
In short, the more a couple has intercourse, the more likelihood they have of hitting the day of peak fertility.
Plenty of options are available for adding to your family later in life, if you should change your mind, including fertility treatments and adoption.
A cancer survivor's fertility will depend on the type of cancer and the methods used to treat the cancer.
If the cancer directly impacts the reproductive organs, the chances are higher that you may experience problems with fertility.
In some cases, if the cancer is simply near the reproductive organs or if cancer treatment encompasses the whole body, fertility could be adversely affected from radiation and chemotherapy.
Many treatment options for female cancers also cause fertility problems.
Other hormone-based treatments can also have a negative effect on fertility, though it may improve over time once therapy has stopped.
For both men and women, it's important that you understand the implications of your cancer treatment as it relates to fertility.
Unfortunately, natural fertility may be something that needs to be sacrificed to increase your chances of beating cancer.

Cancer patients who are infertile may be able to find financial support to help with the cost of fertility treatments through organizations like Fertile Hope.
Even when fertility is affected by the cancer treatment, measures can often be taken before treatment begins to protect fertility.
For these women, using ovulation charts and fertility monitors can help determine their most fertile times of the month.
A fertility monitor, or ovulation predictor kit (OPK), is an ovulation calculator that works by monitoring surges in hormone levels.
Estrogen and luteinizing hormone levels will rise during peak fertility and an OPK will read the levels and determine whether fertility on that given day is low or high.
Women taking fertility drugs may need to use monitors that are adjustable for medication.
Anovulatory cycles can be treated successfully with Clomid and fertility shots in order to stimulate ovulation.
Most, but not all, couples who have not previously been diagnosed with a fertility problem will conceive in the first year that they begin trying.
The future of male pregnancies is uncertain considering the nature of the topic as well as the significant dangers involved in such medical procedures but it does change the way we look at male fertility.
The desire to have a baby is very strong for many women and science has developed medical interventions for fertility.
Studies indicate that a large percentage of triplet pregnancies occur due to some type of medical intervention such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or fertility drugs.
Experts also believe that fertility drugs increase a chance of a multiple pregnancy.
The Shettles method was developed by a gynecologist and fertility researcher in the 1960s.
Though highly controversial, women who are undergoing fertility treatments may have a greater chance of picking the gender of their baby.
If a girl is preferred, the fertility specialist can then use that sperm for the procedure.
Many of the natural birth control methods require women and their partners to become familiar with their fertility cycles.
These methods can be used for couples who have a variety of fertility problems, but they are time-consuming, expensive and often not covered by insurance.
If you've been struggling to conceive, you may be interested in the research that indicates acupressure treatments can help to increase fertility.
If your fertility problems have no defined medical cause, you may want to speak to your healthcare provider about whether acupressure treatments can be used to supplement your other efforts to get pregnant.
To interpret IVF success rates properly, it's important to consider them in light of fertility rates where no ART was used to conceive.

The attitude of the staff working at the fertility clinic is also important.
Couples who are wondering "How do you know when you are infertile?" have a number of ways to check their fertility before going to the doctor.
Male fertility problems are usually indicated by poor sperm quality.
Both men and women can use over-the-counter, at-home tests to give them a general idea of their fertility.
If the tests do indicate any kind of problems, follow-up with a fertility clinic is needed.
Most fertility clinics start treatment by running standard blood tests and ultrasounds on women to look for tube blockages or hormonal problems.
If your doctor discovers an ovulation-based fertility problem or even if no known cause can be identified, Clomid is usually prescribed as the first treatment option.
If a male fertility problem is suspected, the specialist may recommend trying intrauterine insemination.
If these methods of medication and assisted reproduction fail, the couple may consider trying fertility shots or IVF.
If you are anxious to become pregnant, explore the natural ways to increase fertility.
Some fertility clinics may provide a discount if the full amount is paid upfront, so this option could help you save some money.
Some fertility clinics that participate in IVF-related clinical trials offer their procedures at a lower fee, but there may be some drawbacks, especially if they are testing a new medication.
The same fertility medications available in the United States can be purchased through pharmacies in England at a dramatically reduced cost.
All out-of-pocket expenses for fertility treatment, including IVF, can be written off on your taxes.
For example, even planned intrauterine insemination in a fertility clinic results in pregnancy only 20 percent of the time.
While these problems don't automatically mean that you are infertile, they do increase the risk of fertility issues.
If you're concerned about fertility problems, please keep in mind that fertility problems aren't always attributed to the woman.
Doctors claim that fertility starts to decline at 25, declines even faster after 30, and sharply declines after 35.
While this decline in fertility at the age of 30 may be inconvenient, it's how the human body is still programmed.
Lifestyle factors can also affect fertility.
Stress, fatigue, dieting, and weight can all affect a woman's fertility.
Relax, enjoy your partner, and try for 6-12 months before going to a fertility clinic.
A woman may also use a fertility monitor that is quite similar to the kits.
The predictor kits and fertility monitors work by testing urine for a spike in specific hormones associated with ovulation.
Kits typically test hormone levels in the woman's urine but ClearBlue Easy Fertility Monitor is an electronic device that measures estrogen and LH levels.
If you do have a tubal ligation and later change your mind, you can always have a tubal reversal, which has a high success rate of helping women return to their previous fertility.
Doctors generally recommend actively trying to become pregnant for about a year before considering fertility testing and possible medical interventions.
In addition to knowing the right days of the month on which to try to conceive, understanding fertility factors can help you make changes to your lifestyle that can increase your chances of conceiving a baby naturally.
Your fertility level is affected by many factors both in the woman and in the man.
Fertility starts declining during the 20s, and sharply drops after age 35.
Diet actually has less affect on fertility than one might think, however, it is extremely important to eat well if you are trying to conceive.
Alternatively, use a digital fertility monitor to take the guesswork out of the equation for you.

While female fertility varies throughout your lifespan with fertility decreasing drastically after the age of 35, there is only one time frame each month when a woman can get pregnant.
Knowing which days you have high and moderate fertility can help you get pregnant.
The first step to charting your fertility, whether using an online calculator or simply keeping track of your cycle on a calendar, is to record when your period comes each month.
While charting these dates, it is also a good idea to chart your temperature if you want to precisely chart your fertility since a rise in body temperature is one of the signs of ovulation.
Online fertility calculators can provide an easy way to determine which times of the month you are most fertile.
Ovulation Calculator is a website that offers several tools for tracking fertility.
Parenthood offers a general fertility calculator that only takes into account the date of your last period and the length of your cycle.
Fertility Plus offers a downloadable chart for keeping track of your basal body temperature (taken each morning before getting out of bed), which rises during the luteal phase because of increased levels of progesterone.
An online fertility calculator can help you predict what your least and most fertile days of the month are.
While ovulation predictor tests are the most accurate means of testing your fertility, charting your fertility using the dates of your periods and your basal body temperature can lead to generally reliable results.
The tissue responds to menstrual cycles just as it would if it were located in the uterus, which means that it sheds each month, causing pain and bleeding that can interfere with fertility.
