An egg is sent from your ovaries to your womb every month from when you hit puberty to the menopause. When the egg binds with sperm in the womb you get pregnant. Although it may seem like your body is making a new egg every month, this is not the case. Women are born with all the eggs they ever have and they are stored in the ovaries. As you get older your eggs get older too. To learn about your cycle of fertility, check out our ovulation calculator.

Remember that age is not the only thing that may affect your fertility. Smoking, alcohol and drug use, obesity and sexually transmitted diseases can also have an impact on your ability to get pregnant.
NICE is the body that makes recommendations to your NHS Trust about what treatment it should offer. According to NICE, women under 40 should be offered 3 cycles of IVF treatment free of charge on the NHS if:
More women are becoming pregnant later in life. Some will be first-time mothers, while others are having another child. Older mothers may be more financially stable or settled in their careers. They also may feel better able to care for a baby than a young mother would. But do older mothers and their babies face additional risks?
Women who become pregnant in their 30s and early 40s can have safe, healthy pregnancies, says Ellie Ragsdale, MD, director of fetal intervention at UH Cleveland Medical Center. But they do face a higher risk of some problems. She mentions three areas that women should be aware of:

Not eating enough folate can lead to a deficiency in just a few weeks. Deficiency may also occur if you have a condition or genetic mutation that prevents your body from absorbing or converting folate to its usable form.
Most people get enough folate from food. Many foods now have additional folate in the form of folic acid, a synthetic version of folate, to prevent deficiency. Nevertheless, supplements are recommended for women who may become pregnant.
Children as young as 3 can wield weapons and are valid for any non-reproductive surgery, including organ harvesting. However, children are limited to child-sized clothing like the kid pants and kid parka, and can only do certain types of work. They receive penalties to Global Work Speed, Move Speed, and more, scaling with age. Due to their body size, they have less health, can store less nutrition, and receive stronger effects from drugs. Children are also vulnerable to the Fleeing Fire mental break when seeing fire. Instead of Recreation, children have Learning, which gives them more options for each growth moment.
Teenagers wear adult clothing, have access to all work, lose their Learning need, and won't flee fire without Pyrophobia. However, they can only reproduce once they reach 16. And, teens retain a small penalty to work speed and body size until they reach 18, where they become full adults and all penalties are removed.
Certain traits are indirectly affected due to a child's smaller body size. These include drug effectiveness, Carrying Capacity, Meat Amount / Leather Amount, and nutrition capacity. Stats that don't differ for teenagers include food consumption, Maximum/Minimum comfortable temperatures, and Filth rate. Note that teenagers also have a 1.25 multiplier on maximum nutrition, which offsets the 0.8 multiplier from their reduced body size, resulting in the same nutrition capacity as an adult.
Note that using vats to speed up the baby stage (0-3) and teen stage (13-18) does not penalize the pawn in any way. Babies don't learn or work, and speeding up this phase comes mostly at the cost of mood. Speeding up a teen to adulthood removes their work speed and body size penalties, though they could've done work in the meantime. However, teens in growth vats do not apply a mood penalty to their parents, as they are not "kids" anymore. Also note that unlike with cryptosleep, colonists in vats have absolutely no penalty applied to them when they exit the vat. If you need them for an emergency (such as a dangerous incoming raid), they can be removed from the vat at a moment's notice.
The body may slow down and the middle aged might become more sensitive to diet, substance abuse, stress, and rest. Chronic health problems can become issues along with disability or disease.[18] Emotional responses and retrospection vary from person to person; for example, senses of mortality, sadness, or loss are common emotions at this age.[19]
Starting around age 35, pregnant women are considered to be of advanced maternal age, and significant declines in fertility begin to occur that usually end with menopause around age 50.[24] The normal range for menopause is 45 to 55.[25]
1. Be available.Anunexpected pregnancy can send a woman into crisis mode. If your friend justfound out she is pregnant, she may not be thinking clearly, and she may feelshe has no control over anything at the moment.
Be aware ofhow she is responding to you. Listen to her and let her know you love her andare there for her any time she needs you. Don't pass judgment on her eitherinteriorly or through words or body language.
When a womanexperiencing challenging circumstances confides she is pregnant, the reactionof the first person she tells tends to set the tone for her decision-making. Avoidresponding with shock or alarm, and be calm and understanding. Let her knowyou're there for her and that it's going to be okay. Pay close attention to heremotional state, and act accordingly.

Abdominal pain is a common presenting complaint for patients seeking care at emergency departments, with the number of cases in the United States estimated at approximately 3.4 million per year.1 Appendicitis is a common etiology of abdominal pain, caused by acute inflammation of the appendix, and occurs in approximately 8-10% of the population (over a lifetime).2,3 Appendicitis is most common between the ages of 10 and 30 years. The ratio of incidence in men and women is 3:2 through the mid-20s and then equalizes after age 30. Appendicitis is the most common abdominal surgical emergency, with over 250,000 appendectomies performed annually in the United States. Risk for development of acute appendicitis in pregnant women is similar to that of the general population, making acute appendicitis the most common non-obstetric emergency during pregnancy.4,5 Untreated appendicitis can lead to perforation of the appendix, which typically occurs within 24 to 36 hours of the onset of symptoms. Perforation of the appendix can lead to intra-abdominal infection, sepsis, the formation of intraperitoneal abscesses, and rarely death (in approximately 3% of cases with perforation).4
For patients with right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain, when the diagnosis cannot be made on clinical grounds alone, laboratory or imaging tests are often used to attempt to establish a diagnosis and guide treatment. Laboratory evaluations potentially useful for the diagnosis of appendicitis include white blood cell count, granulocyte count, the proportion of polymorphonuclear blood cells, and C-reactive protein concentration.8-10 Imaging tests, such as ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT) with and without contrast, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are also used extensively for the diagnosis of appendicitis.11-17 Imaging tests can be used alone or in combination. For example, US is sometimes used as a triage test to separate patients in whom sonography is adequate to establish a diagnosis from those who require further imaging with CT.6 Different factors may affect the performance of alternative tests and their impact on clinical outcomes. For example, US examination is considered to be operator dependent18 and is technically challenging in obese patients or women in late pregnancy. CT scanning can be performed with or without the use of contrast agents, and contrast can be administered orally, rectally, intravenously, or via combinations of the these routes.6 It has been suggested that low body mass index (BMI), a marker for lack of sufficient mesenteric fat (which helps visualize periappendiceal fat stranding, a radiological sign of appendicitis), may affect the relative test performance of CT performed with or without contrast (contrast being more useful in individuals with low BMI and children).6
In general the diagnostic tests discussed in this section are widely available in the USA. Clinical signs and symptoms can be evaluated relatively easily and inexpensively. Evidence from the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey suggests that CT and complete blood counts are obtained in the majority of patients presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain. The survey also showed that over time (between 1992 and 2006) the use of CT for both adults and children has been increasing. Over the same period, the use of the complete blood count has increased in adults but decreased in children.27,28 The use of US and MRI is increasing in populations where exposure to ionizing radiation is a particular concern (e.g., children and pregnant women).29-37 2ff7e9595c
