A message of hope for those struggling through infertility

Infertility has a devasting effect and a major emotional impact on those who suffer from it. It strains relationships and takes an enormous psychological toll on individuals. It is estimated that infertility in Africa affects one in six couples, which means that in Southern Africa alone there are eight million people who suffer from infertility. And yet there are still taboos and stigmas surrounding the subject. Which is why news of the African continent’s first ever dedicated fertility show, Fertility Show Africa, was enthusiastically received from all quarters.

One of the highlights of this year’s Fertility Show Africa (FSA) will be the screening of Curse of the Womb, a new play by Sisa Congress V Makaula III, written and directed by Fleur de Cap winner Lwanda Sindaphi. In the African culture, a couple is expected to conceive children but, if there is an infertility problem, it is mostly the women who are viewed as the problem, while the men are usually excluded from the debate. Curse of the Womb seeks to interrogate the myth that women who cannot conceive are cursed and Makaula hopes it will educate, inform,

Can fertility astrology really help you fall pregnant?

The Natal Astrology Chart, and the many Astrological techniques, provide the Astrologer with a seemingly endless amount of information about an individual. A great deal of information, for example, can be gleaned about an individual’s fertility and challenges to fertility. It is estimated that infertility in Africa affects one in six couples. It’s simplistic to say that the heartache and frustration experienced by these couples could be solved if they merely looked to the skies but, says fertility astrologer Nicola Smuts Allsop, it’s not a bad idea. She believes most people don’t understand quite how fertility astrology works, especially as

Could your ovulation tests be misleading you?

There is a growing demand for effective ovulation tracking. To increase your chances of conception, you need to be able to calculate your “fertile window” (the 6-8-days in each cycle when you have the highest chance of conception). However, tracking your true fertile window using an app alone is not enough. As hormones fluctuate, so does our predicted day of ovulation in each cycle. Standard ovulation prediction kits (OPKs) Basic tests in this field measure the increase/rise in luteinising hormone (LH), which typically occurs before ovulation, and triggers it. The majority of OPKs come with LH test strips to measure

Guidance for couples, families and friends

One of the most difficult challenges of infertility is communicating with the people around you about what may be a devastating crisis. Often, the reactions and well-meaning advice of loved ones can cause more distress than comfort. This is especially the case if the topic of infertility is culturally taboo. In some cultures, producing an heir is important and when this doesn’t happen the wife may be blamed and have to accept her husband having a child with another woman. Frequently women are also shamed for the inability to produce offspring, whereas the reality is that it is often a
