Health-care reform could benefit infertile couples


I am not sure that Health Care Reform will benefit anyone....I have read the pros and the cons until I don't know who to believe....read below and tell me what YOU think!


Sharon



Problems getting pregnant? You're not alone. One in 10 couples experience problems conceiving. Growing up, getting married, having children and ultimately grandchildren, is the natural order of the life cycle … unless you experience infertility.


This interrupts the natural order of life and creates tremendous emotional struggles for couples facing this problem.


In actuality, for women, infertility increases with age, with a rapid decline after the age of 40. For men, there is no significant change in sperm production until after age 60.

The basic workup during an infertility assessment includes evaluation of three common factors known to cause infertility: problems with ovulation, fallopian tube blockage and male factor with decrease in sperm production.


Ovulatory problems account for about 30 percent of infertility and are commonly associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), classically a triad of obesity, hirsutism and irregular menstrual cycles.


Obese women will more often have disturbances in ovulation because of the estrogen secretion from fat cells (adipocytes). They also have a decreased response to fertility medications to correct the ovulatory problems, lower success rates and higher pregnancy loss rates.


Male factor accounts for 40 percent of infertility problems. Men with varicoceles (varicose veins) surrounding the testes have a higher incidence of infertility.


Men also experience hormonal disturbances and infections, just as women, that may cause infertility.


Tubal disease with scarring from inflammatory processes associated with endometriosis and pelvic infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, or previous surgeries, may interfere with the fallopian tubes' ability to pick up the egg after ovulation occurs and allowing the sperm to fertilize the egg.


Unfortunately, with health care today, employers do not generally include infertility coverage in their benefits.


Having a family is seen as an elective or an option, making fertility treatments uncovered. When coverage is provided, it varies from just the initial consult and diagnostic test technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). About 12 states have mandated coverage for fertility services. Tennessee is not one of them.


Perhaps, with the new health-care reform bill, that will change.

By not having coverage, infertile couples may undergo cheaper and riskier procedures with lower success rates because of cost. Surgeries may be performed in an attempt to correct tubal disease that would be best treated by IVF.


Multiple pregnancy risks are increased when injectable fertility medications are used instead of IVF, but these are less expensive options for women, so they may go that route.


Finally, remember this: For most couples seeking fertility treatment, more than 80 percent successfully achieve their dream of becoming parents through the multitude of fertility treatment options available today.

Sleeping bay on back or stomach ?


A majority of babies seem from the beginning to be a little more comfortable going to sleep on their stomach. This is particularly true of the baby who develop colic; the pressure on the abdomen seems to partly relieve the gas pains.

Others either don't care at first or prefer sleeping on their back. There are two disadvantages to a baby sleeping on his back. If he vomits, he's more likely to choke on the vomits. Also he tends to keep his head turned toward the same side-usually toward the center of the room. This may flatten that side of his head. It won't hurt his brain and the head will gradually straighten out, but it may take a couple of years.

Pregnant or Thinking About It?
10 prenatal tips
Megan Johnson
Premium Health News Service

From conception to delivery, a fetus is at the mercy of its environment. A mother-to-be has more control over her internal chemistry than she might think, and her odds of having a healthy baby will be much improved if she follows these tips:

1. Take steps even before you're pregnant. If you're considering pregnancy, you should take 400 micrograms of folic acid daily to guard against neural tube defects such as spina bifida. Also ask about vaccination against chickenpox or rubella. These and a few other "live" vaccines cannot be given to pregnant women; the illnesses can cause birth defects if contracted during pregnancy.

2. Don't delay an OB visit. Early blood tests can catch anemia and infections that can affect the fetus if not dealt with quickly. Possibly correctable problems such as heart abnormalities often can be detected in the coming months through echocardiography and other screening tests.

3. Write down all meds. Your doctor should review your drugs, vitamins, and supplements. Some of them, such as certain anti-depression and seizure medications, can harm your baby's heart and increase your risk of miscarriage.

4. Don't drink. Binge drinking is particularly dangerous to the fetus; known risks include miscarriage, stillbirth, and mental retardation. It may cause facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate.

5. Don't smoke. That includes inhaling secondhand smoke. Besides stillbirth and low birth weight, sudden infant death syndrome has been linked to cigarette smoke.

6. Monitor the scales. Gestational diabetes and premature birth are among the dangers of putting on more than about 25 to 35 pounds, or more than about 15 to 25 pounds for an overweight woman.

7. Get moving. Exercise can moderate weight gain and may increase the flow of oxygen to the fetus.

8. Eat smart. New research shows a mother's diet during pregnancy has lifelong implications for her baby. A prenatal diet high in protein or fat has been tied to chronic conditions such as heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Besides following a generally healthful diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, eating fish twice a week (salmon, sardines, and canned light tuna are mercury safe) will provide omega-3 fatty acids for fetal brain development.

9. Don't get vitamin-happy. More isn't better--stick to the doses recommended by your obstetrician. Excessive vitamin A, for example, can cause head, heart, brain, and spinal cord defects. You may be told to take an iodine supplement; a new study found that prenatal vitamins often provide far less than the 150-microgram minimum recommended for proper nervous-system development.

10. Check around the house. Certain chemicals, among them BPA and pthalates in plastics, canned-food linings, and cosmetics, mimic the hormone estrogen. Some scientists worry that adults exposed to them in utero may have fertility problems. Eat fresh or frozen veggies, and don't use plastic containers or plastic wrap when microwaving.

Why "Do" IVF? By Dr. Barry Jacobs


Why Do IVF?


Many patients I have seen who have failed to conceive using Clomid, and think IVF is the automatic next step. Not so. Clomid really is not associated with a good pregnancy rate. There are other protocols which do work better. Of course, for those who need it, IVF is one of them.

There are really 3 medical indications to do in vitro fertilization (IVF). One is for tubal damage. Tubal damage most commonly results from either previous infection or prior tubal ligation. Efforts at repairing the fallopian tubes usually results in may result in tubes that are open, but they are still damaged. If a fallopian tube is damaged, there is a significant risk that any pregnancy which may occur will be a tubal pregnancy. That is life threatening. Since IVF bypasses the tubes, there is no increased risk of tubal pregnancy.

A second reason to perform IVF is for severe male factor issues. If sperm are not formed properly, or they do not swim adequately, or if there are just too few of them, they need help to fertilize an egg. Once we have eggs in the embryo lab, we can literally inject sperm into eggs (ICSI). There is still no guarantee that fertilization will be achieved, but in the vast majority of the cases in which we perform ICSI, we are able to produce good embryos. Our pregnancy rates with ICSI are very nearly that of straight forward IVF.

Some newer technology now enables us to detect, in embryos, inherited diseases carried by one or both future parents. The first such inherited disease to be detected in embryos was cystic fibrosis. Today, there is an extremely long list of genetic diseases which can be diagnosed in embryos, and avoid having children stricken with those abnormalities. We have to remove one of the cells from a day 3, 6 to 8 cell embryo. Removing a single cell does not jeopardize the embryo, when the biopsy is performed by a skilled embryologist. There are now 2 different techniques to examine the DNA of the embryo and compare it to the DNA of the parents. The older technique is polymerase chain reaction (PCR). That is the same technology highlighted in some of the TV crime shows. The second technique is referred to as micro array analysis. Material from a single cell taken from an embryo is placed in a tiny well, in what amounts to a computer chip, and the chemistry of that cell can be analyzed. Once it is determined which embryos are identified which are not affected by the disease in question, normal embryos can be placed in the uterus of the intended mother.

Finally, there is a non-medical reason to consider IVF. Many patients do not have any insurance coverage to help pay the expenses of fertility treatment. At least in our practice, both the cost of 4 cycles of using FSH to stimulate ovaries and performing IUI and 1 IVF cycle are about the same. Also, the pregnancy rate for a single IVF cycle is about the same as for 4 IUI cycles. If we do not achieve a pregnancy with IUI, the next treatment protocol to try is IVF. A few of my patients have felt it more cost effective to skip efforts at IUI, and just do IVF. Although I do not encourage that practice, I find it difficult to argue with the logic. I those circumstances, I have acceded to their requests.

IVF is certainly a very useful tool to help a couple achieve a pregnancy. With improved technology and understanding of the physiology of embryos, our pregnancy rates have become extremely good, and I expect them to improve more. It is, however, important to keep things in perspective. IVF is just 1 more tool, and should not be the only tool.
