How to build a family if you are German and homosexual?

Germany holds a marginal scientific position in all things (regarding) biomedical reproduction. This is partially to do with the German Embryo Protection law that came into force in 1991 and severely blocked scientific research in this area. Childless couples in Germany are generally cut off from many scientific advances such as egg donation, surrogacy, and much more. High-quality information on these topics is generally hard to find, and communication between the groups representing reproductive medicine [...]

You’ll love me for this list: Fertility-related products I’ve been using for years

Fertility-related products I've been using for years Instead of buying tons of Christmas presents and stuff no one really needs, this year you may want to get a few things that actually can help to get and to stay pregnant. And for good luck, maybe even one or two items you will immediately need after the baby is there. Regardless of whether you just started working on your baby project, or you’ve been struggling for a [...]

Hiring a doula and why I loved having mine

Looking back, hiring a doula for my second birth was one the best decisions of my life. Or should I say, NOT hiring a doula for my first labor was one of the most stupid things I ever did. But no one told me I should hire a doula. No one ever mentioned that having a female support can mean a world of difference. No one told me what doulas really [...]

One summer post: Beautiful poem on being a woman Image courtesy: hyena reality by FreeDigitalPhotos.net As I opened my Facebook the other day, nothing, really nothing hinted that I would soon find the best poem on womanhood and fertility I read in my whole life. The strange thing was that it was posted by a man - a British friend of ours who wrote several books and obviously has a talent to recognize the right words when [...]

Should you see an Ob-Gyn (gynecologist) or RE (reproductive endocrinologist)? Common confusions you need to be aware of

Should you see an Ob-Gyn (gynecologist) or RE (reproductive endocrinologist)? Women are born with one to two million eggs. Every day of her life a woman keeps losing eggs—approximately 1,000 each month. Some women are born with fewer eggs and some lose their eggs at a faster rate (there are genetic factors behind this). As women age, various kinds of damage (e.g., genetic mutations and deletions) accumulate in the energy-producing system within their eggs (mitochondria), [...]

Which supplements support male fertility? It depends on different things and here is how you can decide

Which supplements support male fertility? It depends and here is how you can decide Ever since I started this blog about three years ago, women have asked me why I blog only about female fertility? I always said how I believe it's important to focus on the topic you feel most passionate about.
