The poll of 3000 mothers was commissioned by family planning brand First Response which also revealed that two thirds of women conceived much quicker than they expected.One in 10 women have been so eager to get pregnant they have called their husband home from work when they were ovulating. And a further, pushy 10 per cent said they then jumped on their other half as soon as he walked through the door.Despite this, 70 per cent of those polled said they wanted their baby to be conceived during a loving and spontaneous sex session rather than going through the mechanics. In order to woo their othe...

Physiologically speaking, conception is impossible from the act of fellatio (now that would be the boring medical equivalent of saying it’s not possible getting pregnant from a blowjob) but it seems there was actually a Case Report published in the British Journal of Obstet and Gynaecol. In case you are cynical, the girl had an aplastic distal vagina so conception via coitus was indeed not the case. Here are the details via Open Knowledge: The patient was a 15-year-old girl employed in a local bar. She was admitted to hospital after a knife fight involving her, a former lover and a new boyfriend. Who exactly stabbed whom was not quite clear but all three participants in the small war ...

We had more submissions to this topic than any of our others which I’ll admit surprised me a bit.  Maybe it’s because this is a place where many of us take time to be alone with our thoughts and others who may share them…or at least have experienced many of them firsthand.  It was very difficult to choose which one of these entries to publish.  Perhaps we should somehow make all submitted entries to this contest available on Everyday Health because I think we could all benefit from them. Airial writes as to how MS has affected her family at its very inception…or, in this case it’s very conception.

Instead of the traditional double-speak of flying storks, planting seeds and cabbage patches (which led me to believe my father’s gardening shed was a Den of Iniquity), it’s a realistic account of where some children really do come from. The book includes sections about lesbian Mums, gay men, IVF babies and assisted conception. The author, Narelle Wickham, says the book is just trying to let children know that there are many ways to conceive a child, all of which are normal. But, according to Focus On The Family spokeswoman Deb Sorensen, it devalues the traditional family unit. In ...

Seems that the study, which analysed the 30.1 million births in the U.S. between 1996 and 2002, found that there was an increased number of birth defects in the children born of women who last menstruated in April, May, June, or July. This is the time of the year when there are increased levels of pesticides, such as atrazine (which is banned in Europe but still permitted in the US) and nitrates, in surface water across the United States. Based on the evidence this study has uncovered, the researchers suspect there is a strong correlation between the seasonal increase in pesticides in the surface water and numbers ...

A "yes" decision could pave the way for anti-abortion legislation.

This, I did not know, but given how many folks I’ve met who are having a hard time getting pregnant, sadly, I’m not surprised. But, the fix could be just the thing that summertime is all about…Ice Cream!!!! I’m not making this up, I swear! The good folks at Harvard University have found that along with the usual suspects of increasing fruit and veggie intake, limiting red meats, adding healthy fats by way of nuts and fish, and other assorted healthful advice, full fat dairy products may also boost fertility. And when I hear full fat, I think Ben & Jerry’s, baby! The thing here is that it must be full fat dai...

See, while standbys like Viagra, Levitra and Cialias are great for bringing willy to attention, it seems this class of drugs (PDE inhibitors) are not so great on a man’s swimmers. According to a test-tube study by British researchers, a typical dose of an ED drug doubles the risk of premature damage to sperm, compared to sperm which was not treated. This means that the outer layer of the sperm head breaks down before it reaches the female egg, preventing the sperm’s grand entrance, and thus, conception. Of course, while you may not be a case who assumes the double risk,...

It might seem impossible to have children after cancer, since treatment often seriously compromises a woman's chance at conceiving, but all hope's not lost. For instance, Hodgkin's survivors can get pregnant, according to a study, and women who've undergone chemo can freeze their eggs for fertilization. And now it's being shown that a drug developed in Australia can give new hope to wannabe mothers. It works by shielding the ovaries from harmful cancer treatments by temporarily shutting them down, so to speak. The drug's been impres...

Prospective mothers can be checked for any number of health conditions, like diabetes and influenza, and helped to get it under control before getting pregnant.
