What and how much we put into our bodies makes a massive difference on how our bodies act, how we feel and the results that come from our actions. Taking valid steps in the directions of our goals in the food department is an integral, genuine maneuver that must be kept under wraps if we are to work toward our hopes and dreams for ourselves.

Living within our means, enjoying all of our options in moderation and welcoming food for its goodness, energy and taste is what we are working toward. Living a healthy lifestyle requires that you do your part to make it come to fruition. It requires that you not only take 100% responsibility for you, but it also requires that you are 100% involved in the choices that you make in the food department if you wish to create a healthier, lighter you. Having this control over your platter of choice couples extremely well with your commitment to your exercise program, because not only does living a healthy way of life require you to be 100% responsible for your food input it also requires that you are 100% responsible for your physical movement in your life. Therefore, if you follow through with your will and desire to eat well and you include your exercise into the equation, you will be successful.

Micro IVF in general can be described as taking either solely oral fertility meds with or without minimal use or inject able gonadotropins when going through InVitro fertilization. The process is the same as doing conventional IVF which entails egg retrieval, fertilization, embryo culture and embryo transfer. This process can diminish the risk of multiple births. Some centre offers this procedure at a lower cost than conventional IVF plus there are additional savings from having to purchase less fertility meds.

Minimal Stimulation IVF. IVF over the past twenty years has evolved and been optimized from a point where pregnancy rates were at best quoted to be 10% to about 50% today. We have become better with our stimulation protocols and techniques over this time period and are continuing this trend. Nevertheless, this success has its unintended consequences being the possibility of an overproduction of embryos along with multiple embryos being transferred.

My cell phone rang while driving to my son's basketball game; he was in 4th grade and about to play his elementary school's archrival. I was supposed to watch his game for 30 minutes and then pick up my daughter from her tennis match. But when my doctor told me I had "a couple of cancer cells," I pulled the car over and cried. "Does this mean I have breast cancer?" I asked myself later; I hadn't asked the doctor because my mind had shut down when I heard those words. I was too young to have cancer, I thought -- I was only 44 years old. I was too busy to have cancer.
