Semen Triggers Ovulation, New Study Suggests

Filed under: birth control options,conceiving,contraception — Tags: , — nirochabrun @ 3:06 am

The rhythm method has been a way of preventing pregnancy for some time however recent research has discovered it is even less reliable. New research conducted by Gregg Adams and his colleagues confirms that the fluid in semen is not just a vehicle for sperm to travel in; rather, it is also a substance which triggers ovulation in female mammals. Therefore there is a risk that women can become pregnant during the times when they are not ovulating simply because the liquid in semen itself is causing the female body to ovulate.

What is in the fluid that causes ovulation you may ask? It is a protein fundamental to the survival and development of sensory neurons, known as NGF or neural growth factor. Once injected, NGF in the male sperm contacts the brain by traveling through the female bloodstream. When in contact, the brain will initiate the hypothalamus and pituitary glands to release hormones that kick start ovulation.

This is not news for a group of Chinese researchers who had already noticed that there was an ovulation-inducing factor (OIF) found in semen back in 1985. They were simply ignored when they first introduced this hypothesis as it contradicted the commonly held views about the reproductive system at that time. The new study now supports their hypothesis and further research can lead to new fertility treatments for couples that are having difficulty conceiving.

Those avoiding pregnancy should make sure they are using contraceptives. This study provides evidence that NGF, or OIF in semen can activate ovulation in women even when they are not supposed to be ovulating. In other words, you can get pregnant, even when you are not ovulating. As a result, we cannot stress enough how important contraceptive use is for women who do not want to become pregnant. There are many contraception options available that are safe and effective. Speak to your doctor to find out which option is best for you.

A High-Fat Diet a Day Equals Increase in Birth Defects

Maternal DietThe “what-not-to-do-during-pregnancy” list is growing.  Already on the list are alcohol, raw fish/meat,  cigarettes, smoked seafood, fish with mercury or fish exposed to industrial pollutants, soft cheeses, unpasteurized milk, pate, caffeine, and unwashed vegetables. However, a new study sponsored by England’s Welcome Trust and the British Heart Foundation shows women who take on a high-fat diet before and during pregnancy will increase the risk of congenital heart defects in offspring.

Congenital heart disease is a disease that results in a problem with the structure of the heart and is the most common type of birth defect. Defects range from problems with the walls of the heart to the arteries and veins near the heart. Congenital heart disease will disrupt the flow of normal blood to the heart. Women with diabetes or woman who are overweight or obese already have a higher risk for their children to obtain congenital heart disease.

Results from the research shows that genes of an unborn offspring can be affected by maternal diet. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, speak to your doctor to find out if you need to make any adjustments to your current diet.

Stopping the Pill. Starting the Pill

When you feel that the pill you are currently on is not the right pill for you, stopping the pill is a good idea. After being on the pill for over 3 months, if you continue to notice discomforting side effects (headache, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, depression, vaginal infections, and cramps, just to name a few), those are signs that you should stop the pill and try another oral contraceptive.

Can I stop taking the pill immediately or should I wait till the end of the pack?

If you have just started taking birth control pills or is trying a new brand of pills, it is recommended to stay on it the pill for the first 3 months even if you are experiencing negative side effects. The negative side effects normally would pass after 3 months. If it continues, you may stop the pill.

Stopping the pill may change your regular menstrual cycle. You can stop taking the pill immediately if you are uncomfortable with continuing the pill. As soon you stop taking the pill, you will experience bleeding.

When stopping the pill, make sure you have an alternative form of contraception, such as a condom.

If I have stopped taking the pill and want to get back on the pill, should I wait until it is the beginning of a month?

If you are starting a new brand of birth control pills, make sure you have a back up method of contraception such as condoms. Your first pack of pills may not protect you from pregnancy on the first week of taking them.

You can start your pills today, on the day your period begins, on the fifth day your period begins, or on the first Sunday after your period begins (so your menses will almost always begin on a Tuesday or Wednesday).

If I stop the pill and my period does not come back, what does that mean?

If you do not get your period after stopping the pill for three months, you should first take a home pregnancy test to make sure you are not pregnant. If you are not pregnant and still did not get your period for at least three months, see your doctor. You may be experiencing post-pill amenorrhea. Post-pill amenorrhea is when the pill stops your body from producing hormones needed for ovulation and menstruation. It may take some time before your body gets back into regular production of these hormones needed for your menstruation.

If I am planning to become pregnant, when should I stop taking the pill?

It is recommended to stop taking the birth control pill one month before you conceive so you can get back on your regular natural menstrual flow. If you are planning on stopping the pill longer before you conceive, make sure you are using other forms of contraception such as condoms.
