Whether you’re busy establishing your career or simply aren’t yet ready for the responsibility of parenthood, every flip of a calendar page can remind you how quickly time is passing. Going into a brand-new year, maybe the best resolution for you is to buy more time to make the decision.

What to Expect from Freezing Your Eggs
To begin the process of freezing your eggs, you’ll start administering daily hormone injections for eight to ten days. During this process, fertility healthcare […]
While one in four women in their 20s and 30s will become pregnant during a menstrual cycle, that number drops to one in ten by age 40. Thus, pregnancy within a year in your 40s is 44% likely.
Your ovaries produce fewer eggs as you age, and you run a higher risk of fertility-affecting disorders. Fertility may also drop in the sperm-producing parent, hindering a late pregnancy.
Nevertheless, it is 100% possible to have a healthy baby in your 40s. Getting pregnant at this age is considered a late pregnancy, and more women are doing it successfully today than ever before.
Some women […]

Female infertility is one of the most frustrating conditions – many women spend years trying not to get pregnant, then when they are ready to start a family, they find out they are fertility challenged. There are many factors that impact the female reproductive system and may contribute to infertility in women. While 10% of infertility cases are unexplainable, most cases have a specific cause which can be addressed. Here are some of the top causes of female infertility we see at Neway Fertility.
Endometriosis

The natural decline of fertility due to aging is established science. Both men and women experience different factors that contribute to reduced fertility. As a woman ages, the number of eggs in the ovaries will decrease. As you are born with all the eggs you will ever carry, it is impossible to replace them.
Hormonal changes occur as a woman ages and the number of her eggs decreases. This change will reduce fertility over time. When menopause occurs, a woman cannot get pregnant without medical fertility treatments. This is achieved through hormone therapy and IVF treatments.

There are many factors that contribute to female fertility. There can be health conditions, hormone imbalances and physical abnormalities that can affect fertility, which can be difficult to control. However, there are some lifestyle choices and dietary changes that can impact fertility. If you have a high body mass index (BMI), it can affect fertility.

The impact of cancer treatments on fertility is not predictable in many cases, which is why doctors communicate in risk percentages. However, there are known variables with each type of medicine or procedure. Therefore, it is also possible to mitigate some negative effects in specific cases.
The eggs, ovaries, womb, cervix, and hormone production all risk damage or changes during cancer treatments. Depending on the type of cancer and treatment, some patients may also find sexual intimacy difficult or impossible.
If you plan on having children after cancer treatment, you may have some tough choices to face. Delaying treatment comes with its […]
You and your partner may want to freeze and store sperm – a process known as sperm banking (or sperm cryopreservation) – if you are considering starting a family in the future. Sperm banking is essentially fertility insurance.
Sperm banking offers couples the opportunity to have a biological baby in case of sterility or lifestyle complications. When the time is right, you can have the sperm thawed for use in procedures like intrauterine insemination or in vitro fertilization.
Reasons to Consider Sperm Banking
Disease: Most people sperm bank due to a cancer diagnosis, especially non-Hodgkin’s disease, testicular and prostate cancer. Surgery like an […]
You, and your chances of getting pregnant faster, are what you eat. So, fill your belly with the right foods and a prenatal vitamin to boost your fertility. In addition, avoid foods that may decrease your chances of conceiving.
