		<description><![CDATA[ I did not go into IVF with the intent of conceiving twins.  When it happened, though, I initially gave no thought to the risks associated with multiple births.  Nor did I consider why my doctor was less than thrilled.  I assumed that he intended to help me conceive and helping me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ A good rule of thumb for women struggling with infertility is to behave pre-conception as you would in the early stages of pregnancy.  That means a lot of people abstain from alcohol, caffeine, and certain foods when undergoing fertility treatments.  When it comes to your hair, though, opting to let your grays [...]]]></description>

So, when one of the more outspoken women in the group proclaimed that she had found the key to improving your sex life the discussion was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ I was told time and time again that my fibroids were not causing issues with fertility.  In fact, most research seems to indicate that fibroids do not reduce fertility and that the removal of them does not improve chances of pregnancy.  I, however, disagree and so did my reproductive endocrinologist.  I [...]]]></description>

I soon learned that I had very little to get excited about though, because as mentioned in another posting, clomid ended up being the worst medication for me in terms of side effects and [...]]]></description>

I envisioned getting married relatively young, having children before I was thirty (at least two), and becoming a top-notch [...]]]></description>

He didn&#8217;t feel the same sense of urgency that I did, nor the overwhelming feeling as though in quicksand with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Whenever weight is mentioned as a factor in infertility, I automatically think of being overweight.  This is definitely not surprising to me since in the last ten years being underweight was not a personal danger.  I gained after college, gained even more with fertility treatments, and had trouble losing for a myriad [...]]]></description>

The woman is advised to do all sorts of things to improve her chances of conception, but the man is often let off the hook when it comes to making lifestyle changes.
