Florida Fertility Introduces the Human Fertile Egg


Every woman who has normal menstrual cycle produces egg during mid-cycle. That period is termed as ovulation. This is also the period during which conception takes place if intercourse occurs during this time. When an egg is produced, it is capable of fertilization only for twenty four hours. And therefore, for conception to take place, egg has to be fertilized by sperm during these twenty four hours. These basics have to be told to couples by expert doctors when these couples consult them for inability to conceive.

At times, due to lack of knowledge, couples fail to conceive. However, nowadays, most couples have pretty good idea of how things take place and they consult gynecologists even before they decide to have a family. Florida Fertility Centers like The Palm Beach Fertility Center have special sections for such couples to take away their doubts and help them out with their problems.

When the female however does not have regular menstrual cycles, there might be some problem with the egg production. The cycles at times may be anovulatory, means; the egg is not produced at all. There are conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome during which there is problem with the effective egg production and so the cycles are irregular, making conception difficult. These are the times when the couple has to have thorough investigations at reputed fertility centers.
Only after ovulation studies and other tests, the future line of treatment can be decided to treat infertility. For those women with gross problems with egg production, even egg donors can be made available at standard fertility centers so that their dream to become mother can be fulfilled!

Florida Fertility Introduces The Sperm

When it comes to conception, both partners have to be healthy and capable of conceiving. No wonder gynecologists and obstetricians call for check up both the partners together during the first interview with the doctor itself. With the increasing awareness about various medical facilities, most couples like to visit doctor even before they decide to conceive. The reason behind is simple. They want to know about the conception and probable problems that may occur during.

There are also many couples which hit the doctor’s clinic only if they fail to conceive even after uninterrupted intercourse of about one year. This is the time when doctors at specialty centers like Florida's Palm Beach Fertility like to examine both the partners for the underlying problems. The male partner has to undergo sperm tests or semen analysis as the baseline investigation. There might be less sperm count (oligospermia) or rarely no sperm count (azoospermia).

Also there are chances that the person might be having defective sperm motility due to which the sperm fails to reach to the egg and fertilize it effectively. Some underlying pathological conditions may also influence sperm motility and effective fertilization of egg. In such cases, appropriate treatment has to be given in order to correct the defect and make the sperm capable of fertilization.

If the female partner is at fault, sperms from the partner can be inserted manually into the womb and fertilization can take place. Thus, many such techniques are available these days to materialize the dream of conception in couples. Make sure to search for the right fertility center like Florida Fertility and see your dream come true pretty quickly!

Well, human being is obviously entrusted with more powers to control the cycle of conception and birth. It is truly wonderful to know how a single sperm fertilizes an egg to mark the onset of a new life on this earth!

Though this sounds pretty natural and easy, at times this only thing makes lives miserable. This happens when such thing fails to materialize. Many times, the couples do not understand initially till much time is passed that there is some problem. No wonder medical experts also have given these couples 1 year time during which they fail to conceive, they should see the doctor. Also during this time, they should be having unprotected intercourse.

If however the couples still fail to conceive, they need to undergo certain investigative procedures that can find out the underlying cause of this infertility. Also it is duty of doctor to make the couple understand the magic of conception that occurs only on one single day of female’s menstrual cycle. If that day is missed, there is absolutely no chance of conception.

Whatever the cause is, the couple is alarmingly disturbed most of the times and needs expert consultation like at Our Florida fertility center, known as Palm Beach Fertility Center. Only the compassionate doctor can understand the couple’s point of view and make them understand the probable cause and possible treatment options for the same.
