biological clock

A new study has revealed that men - as well as women - suffer from 'baby fever', the overwhelming desire to have children.
The emotional and physical phenomenon is usually associated with women, who can be subject to sudden and extreme maternal urges. Gary Brase, associate professor of psychology at Kansas State University, and his wife Sandra, a project co-ordinator with the university's College of Education, have spent nearly 10 years researching baby fever.

A hormone test may help women to beat the biological clock by predicting how long they have left to have a baby, say scientists.
The team of researchers from St Andrews, Glasgow and Edinburgh has found how levels of a key chemical change throughout a woman's reproductive life. This can reveal how many eggs she has remaining. The discovery will allow women to compare their own hormone levels with the average for their age to see whether they should be concerned about their future fertility.

Women, Their Bioloigical Clock, and Their Eggs - For women who are contemplating how to balance family and career, there is an important study out of the University of St. Andrews and Edinburgh University in Scotland. They found that women have lost 90 percent of their eggs by the time they are 30 years old, and only have about 3 percent remaining by the time they are 40. Well, what does that mean to you? That means that you need to be proactive in your decisions that you make now, as it may affect your ability to have your own genetic chilldren in the future.
