Infertile Women Are Twice As Likely To Desire Multiples As Fertile Controls, Ginny Ryan, Rachel Maassen, A. Dokras, Craig Syrop, Bradley Van Voorhis

Rachel A Maassen

We previously published our finding that 20% of infertile women prefer a multiple gestation pregnancy to a singleton as the outcome of infertility treatment. The purpose of this follow-up study is to survey a comparable but fertile control population and compare the proportion of fertile controls that prefers a multiple birth outcome with this previously studied infertile population. We are also interested in determining the characteristics of our entire population that are associated with this desire for multiples.

Calcium And Vitamin D For The Reproductive Female, Rachel A. Maassen Mar 2013

Calcium And Vitamin D For The Reproductive Female, Rachel A. Maassen

Rachel A Maassen

The importance of calcium as well as its interdependence upon vitamin D is well established. Vitamin D acts via the vitamin D receptor, which is found in 37 different human tissues. Because of its rather ubiquitous localization, vitamin D is the topic of a great deal of associative research. However, caution must be exercised in interpreting these initial studies until clear evidence for causality becomes available. The purpose of this article is to review some of the known vitamin D and calcium associations as well as the current guidelines for calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
