Stress Affects Your Fertility! This IVF Clinician Explains How You Can Overcome Or Reduce Its Effects
Conceiving is an art. When you're trying for a baby, many factors can derail your efforts. Your age, diet, weight, hormones, sperm count, uterus problems, and the list goes on.
In Singapore, fertility problems are actually more common than you think. 1 in 6 Singaporean couples face fertility problems. Before you get all emotional, hear what Dr Fong Yang has to say. He was invited to host a DxD Session on fertility (IVF and IUI).
Dr Fong is an accredited Ministry of Health IVF clinician, who has been practicing Obstetrics and Gynaecology for the past 18 years. He's one of the rare IVF clinicians who treats both male and female infertility.
Here are some pointers to help put things in perspective. May the odds be with you!

Hi,
Clots during your menstrual period suggest that your menstrual flow is heavy, which allows for blood to pool in the uterus and form clots.
These clots are then expelled, usually with the help of uterine contractions, and are commonly associated with menstrual cramps. ...

Hi,
The short answer to your question would be: " It is extremely difficult for a lady with Turner's syndrome to get pregnant."
Ladies born with Turner's syndrome have a congenital chromosomal disorder, and they developed premature ovarian failure at a very young age, ie....

Hi,
In order for an egg to ovulate during a menstrual cycle, it has to first developed within a small cyst within an ovary. As this egg starts to mature, the cyst that surrounds it will also grow bigger; we now call this cyst a follicle.

Hi,
In general it is best to avoid alcohol if you are breastfeeding.
However, if you have to drink some (because your confinement lady or mother-in-law is nagging you to death!), then take just a little bit after you have breastfed.

Hi Wen Hui,
Thanks for the D2D. If you have decided on doing IVF, then the most important thing is not to delay or procrastinate any further. Consult your fertility doctor as soon as possible, and bring all available medical records and/or medication with you during your first c...

Thanks for the D2D. Stress is inevitable in modern society, and especially so in a place like Singapore. We know from research that prolonged or chronic stress is bad for health, be it fertility or mental health or even general well-being.
