Newsfeed text (140 characters max): Fertility declines over time, making it more difficult to get pregnant after age…
The intention of this assignment is to highlight the fact that women are becoming mothers later in life and that doing so is adversely affecting their chances of conception. Since the introduction of IVF on the NHS the amount of people having treatment has increased over the years and so have the success rates, which have increased with developments in techniques and technology. As women are having children at an older age, it will be discussed whether it is necessary and cost effective for the NHS to provide fertility treatment to women up to the age of 42.…
"Followers 88,234." I smile at the ever-growing number it seemed like it was only days ago when the video of me sing Green light by Lorde shot up to over a million likes and only 34 dislikes. I smirked and switch over to YouTube where all of this started.…

As Alice McKelan exited the abandoned train station on October 23rd at 10:30 pm her blonde hair blew in her face, covering it like a blanket. She made her way hurriedly down the platform stairs and onto the dimly lit street below, tugging at her coat in an attempt to shelter her body from the chill.…
Each action taken to make sure that the women were engaged in the study during specific points of their ovulation cycle was important factors to executing the study well. The researchers had to make sure those things such as pregnancy or prenatal drugs did not skew the fertility information. They did rule out such factors, but they did not rule out women who may have been on birth control. Birth control is a great factor that can change a women’s entire bodily cycle. The drug can stop a menstrual cycle for months and without menstruation in place, ovulation is delayed. Aside from birth control, the study did make a great decision by only choosing women who are married or in a relationship. They made a great point that women who are partnered have stronger ovulation…

When I was younger I loved dolls; I loved playing pretend with them, dressing them up, and pretending that they were real. For my younger self to hear of a doll that not only could talk but could move her eyes on mouth on her own was mind blowing. I saw a lot of cheery commercials on television for a doll called Amazing Amanda. It was so cool; the doll even had the same name as me! When I ripped through the colorful Barbie wrapping paper Christmas day and saw that it was the Amazing Amanda doll I jumped around like a grasshopper and raced to go find batteries. I played with that doll everyday, singing songs with her loudly which probably sounded more like off-key screeching. It was incredible to me to watch her glassy, blue eyes blink and…
I moved from Detroit, MI to Ypsilanti, MI, for a better living. It was December 29, 2008. I had just given birth to my daughter. My daughter was born at 9:45p.m, weighing 5lbs and 3ounces. I named my daughter Saphira Parthenia Franks. Saphira died at 36 weeks, due to still born. The doctor told me” Sometimes this happens without a reason and you will be able to have more children”. I already had my mind made up, that I would wait until I turn thirty to have another baby. I was heartbroken and disgusted with myself. I was already going insane from the deaths of my father in November 2006 and my grandma in July 2008. Therefore, I was not able to cope with their three deaths at once.…
“I got this! I got this! Just calm down and take position. You have prepared yourself for this race all morning.” “Just take your position and breathe.” “Why is my heart pounding like this?” “Inhale and exhale.” This is normal for UWA freshman Sarah McMillion on race day. She constantly overthinks and worries about her performance. Her nerves even cause her to wake up early to prepare.…

The control of fertility has always been a topic issue for women. Different pre conception and post conception procedures have been practiced since the ancient times. Abortion has become a major topic for everyone in the United States. It became very focused when the Roe Vs. Wade case was passed. This is because many individuals have strong, colliding opinions on abortion and it’s laws. The two main group views of abortion are pro-life and pro-choice. Pro-life are individuals who believe abortion is wrong, and pro-choice are people who believe it is up to the mother to choose what she wants. While one particular view has not been proven to be correct or incorrect, it has brought many persuasions to the table on what should be considered the…
In the past a women’s age has factored heavily into the diagnosis of infertility, this appears to be changing. In 1984, the infertility rate of females aged 18 to 29 years was 4.9%; by 2010 the rate for this age group was found to be 13.7%. (Bushnik et…
