African-Americans or those with a family history of colon cancer should schedule their first colonoscopy at age 45. If your initial colonoscopy is clear and there are no polyps detected, you should schedule your next colonoscopy in 10 years.
âRemember, women are born with all the eggs they are ever going to have, and they donât make any new eggs during their lifetime. Women are born with approximately two million eggs in their ovaries, but about eleven thousand of them die every month prior to puberty.
More than 70 percent of women older than 45 who try assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) use donor eggs to conceive a child, and about 8,000 babies are born in the United States each year as a result.
