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.
On average, 70 per cent of mature eggs will fertilize. The embryos will be placed in an incubator where their growth will be monitored. For women who are under age 40, our goal is to determine the two embryos most likely to result in a pregnancy. Sometimes we can tell which embryos to transfer on day 3 after retrieval (cleavage stage transfer), and sometimes we watch the embryos until day 6 after transfer (blastocyst stage).
