Here’s how the fertility network describes fertility doctors.
“Most infertility specialists are called reproductive endocrinologists. Reproductive endocrinologists typically have 2-3 years of formal training beyond that of an Ob/Gyn. Most often they work at clinics where in vitro fertilization is a common treatment regimen. We have an extensive list of ivf clinics on our site. IVF is a procedure that often uses infertility drugs to stimulate the production of multiple eggs that are fertilized outside the body and implanted in the uterus.�
Here’s what they have to say about fertility drugs.
“Fertility drugs are an important ingredient of successful therapy. We provide links to several pharmacies that specialize in fertility drugs. Infertility drugs can be expensive and the treatment has many details to consider. Specialized pharmacies provide an understanding and a service that cannot be matched at your everyday pharmacy. We have a regional list andd a mail order list of pharmacies that specialize in infertility drugs.�
6. Newsweekshowcase.com presents fertility, infertility clinics and reproductive clinics.
Here is how it presents the information to help you make up your mind.
“More than 6.1 million people nationwide experience infertility, the inability to conceive and carry a pregnancy to delivery after one year of well-timed intercourse. While the disease is often thought of as a female problem, the fact is that “approximately about one-third of infertility cases can be attributed to male factors, and about one-third to factors that affect women. For the remaining one-third of infertile couples, infertility is caused by a combination of problems in both partners or, in about 20 percent of cases, is unexplained,� according to the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).�
Furthermore, the author of this site recognizes the type of problem infertility can bring to a relationship. “Infertility is a hidden life crisis; there are no visible wounds. Individuals and couples unable to have children experience grief and loss as each treatment fails. Infertility has a ripple effect; it may impact self-esteem, relationships with family and friends, a couple’s intimacy and may put life plans on hold. The hope that “next month will be the month that I will get pregnant� can continue for months or years. Seeking good care from a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist can move treatment forward.� You can find more information on the site.

Frederick's of Hollywood's Racy, Risque Lingerie and Intimates Apparel Empire
Racy Lingerie and Intimates Retailer Frederick's of Hollywood Will Go Head to Head, Toe to Toe Against Victoria's Secret at Fashion Fair Mall Conservative Central Valley of California Men and Women will Loosen Up a bit as they Lavish Frederick's on Loved Ones In preparation for the Holiday Season, Frederick's of Hollywood will open its newest store at Fresno, CA, Fashion Fair Mall. That will place it right across from Victoria's Secret which has been updating its merchandise line. Both stores will benefit from the heavy mall traffic. Despite the opening of some very chic stores at RiverPark Shopping Center, Fashion Fair Mall on the Shaw thoroughfares has been able to hold its own.
By November 1, Frederick's of Hollywood will open its doors to the public. Its push up bras and other sensual and sexy line of products will be displayed on the mannequins at the mall. How will the retailer keep teenagers away from some racy items? Will there be an age check up at the door? Some of the undies offered at Victoria's Secret may have already turned the heads of some older shoppers. The more risque the better it seems to be for the youngsters these days. For sure, Frederick's of Hollywood has known something that most have not known. Through its online site (Fredericks.com), the company may have already studied the statistics and found out that most of its sales and traffic come from the Central Valley which has recently exploded in populations.
There is a vibrant market here that can easily support these two competitors. The demographics explain it all. All the major stores are already here. Sephora has been meeting the beauty, makeup needs of most Central Valley women. Why not give them something to be proud of? Conservative or not, women and men from the San Joaquin Valley of California want to be proud of what they wear underneath. That is what Frederick's knows how to provide all too well. Trendy national retailers already exist in the Central Valley. We are talking about the likes of shopping centers such as Fig Garden Village, The Shops at River Park and elsewhere. What is the history of Frederick's of Hollywood? The company was founded in 1946 by Frederick Mellinger. It had a great mail-order business. As it grew, it began selling extremely seductive lingerie. Frederick's operates 175 stores nationwide. Its managers have been talking about pioneering the push-up bra, black bras and panties. It has been reported that in the 1940s a woman wearing a Frederick's bikini was detained for showing too much skin on a Southern California beach. It was during the conservative period. Is this the first time Frederick's of Hollywood is coming to Fresno, CA? Every woman who wants to feel sexy for herself will visit these two stores at least once a month. And men who want their woman to be sexy will either take them there or purchase little presents for them.
That is the way it was when the store was in downtown Fresno in the 1980s when competitors came out with new underthings. Everyone hopes that the store is going to stick around for a while this time. As far as the marriage or proximity of these two competitors, we already see how Quiznos and Subway attract traffic and do business. In most Califonria malls especially in the Bay Area, Southern California and Sacramento, wherever you see a Victoria's Secret store, there is a Frederick's.
This is what the marketers call clustering. Who will shop at Frederick's and Victoria's Secret? Shoppers who care about saving money will flock to Frederick's as its prices tend to be lower on most of its products. For example, the company carries $24 bras. Victoria's Secret's prices are higher. With its merger with Movie Star Inc., a manufacturer and distributor of intimate apparel, Frederick's can afford to sell some of its items at a lower price. Get ready to browse the store's corsets and the Seduction sub brand.
Have you heard about celeri, chocolate and banana? Well, there are other plants that can help you take the stress out.
For centuries, people from various cultures have used certain plants for sexual enhancement, from boosting libido to improving erectile function to increasing lubrication in women. According to medicine hunter Chris Kilham, the power of many of these natural, plant-derived aphrodisiacs has been verified by clinical studies—and modern science has only begun to scratch the surface. Chris has traveled the world investigating medicinal plants and teaches ethnobotany at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He has authored 13 books, including Hot Plants: Nature's Proven Sex Boosters for Men and Women, which focuses on sex-enhancing plants. Chris shares just a few natural agents of desire with Dr. Oz:
Rhodiola rosea is a plant native to Siberia that radically reduces cortisol levels in the blood, thereby reducing stress and enhancing sexual function, Chris says. According to Chris, dosages between 100 and 300 milligrams a day have been proven effective in human studies. Moreover, Chris says rhodiola rosea enhances brain function, mood, cardiovascular function and immune function, and boosts energy, stamina and endurance. "When you take it, you feel it, and you feel good," says Chris, who takes it every day. "I feel more energetic, more lively, more clear minded."
Maca is a root resembling a turnip that is a staple food in the Peruvian highlands. Chris says maca contains compounds that significantly boost sexual desire, alleviates erectile dysfunction and also helps women relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, especially hot flashes and night sweats. There are products containing maca extract as well as maca powder that can be added to shakes or used like flour in cooking, Chris says.
Tongkat ali is a tree root from Malaysia that has been used in Southeast Asia for hundreds of years for the treatment of malaria as well as improving various sexual parameters, Chris says. According to Chris, tongkat ali has been shown to help alleviate erectile dysfunction, boost testosterone levels in males and progesterone levels in females, and may have cancer-inhibiting properties. He says it's a safe and effective substitute for brand-name drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction.
