Cardiff, Wales -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/13/2010 -- Dubbed a fertility MOT, Innermost Secrets launched a national network of centres called the UK Body Clock Network at The Fertility Show in November 2009, which is the only network of its kind anywhere in Europe.

More women are delaying having a pregnancy until their mid-30s for many various reasons, most often to pursue a career or travel. Innermost Secrets are keen to advise women that their natural cycle often slows down in their early to mid-thirties. As a leading fertility clinic, Innermost Secrets advise that the chances of success for procedures such as IVF may also decrease in later life and therefore are keen to help women to find out what is going on with their body.

Every woman is different and their body clock will vary drastically from person to person. As they age, so the quality and quantity of their eggs will decrease, decreasing their fertility in later life. There are ways to determine how much time a woman's body clock has left in its natural state, and Innermost Secrets are urging couples who generally put off the subject of conception to contact the Body Clock Network for a fertility MOT.

"There's a lot of misinformation surrounding women and fertility at the moment. High profile celebrities who are in and around their forties, such as Madonna, Halle Berry and more, have been successful in conceiving later on in life. Many women feel that this is an evolving trend, putting off their own plans because they feel conception will be easy for them too in their later years," commented Dr Bryan Beattie, Director of Innermost Secrets. "This isn't always the case and we must point out that every woman is different. We can offer all women over thirty an annual Body Clock Test at one of our national Body Clock Centres to help you ascertain how many years you have left to try for a baby and the conception options available to you."

Cardiff, South Wales -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2010 -- Innermost Secrets are distributing an Ovarian Cancer Symptom Diary to help raise awareness about Ovarian cancer in women.

Based at the Cardiff Spire Hospital, Innermost Secrets provide ultrasound and medical care for pregnant and non pregnant women at their Reproductive Health Clinic. The clinic specialises in antenatal care, specialist pregnancy ultrasound scans, fertility services including the Body Clock test to assess a woman's future fertility and sexual health advice for couples.

March 2010 is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month and is designed to help alert women to the warning signs associated with cancer of the ovaries. Over 4,400 women die every year from ovarian cancer and it also accounts for 6% of cancer deaths in women. Based on an ultrasound scan and a blood test (CA125), Innermost Secrets can provide women with a simple annual ovarian cancer screening test which only takes thirty minutes to complete and can help detect the early signs of cancer when treatment is most effective.

To help women recognise the early warning signs of ovarian cancer, Innermost Secrets have designed and are currently distributing an Ovarian Cancer Symptom Diary to enable women to keep track of important symptoms such as stomach or pelvic pain, persistent abdominal bloating, difficulty eating and feeling full quickly etc. They can then take their completed diary to their GP should they have any concerns. The diary shows a symptom list and a daily tick chart for when the symptoms occur and their severity which will help a GP to advise whether immediate action needs to be taken.

"Ovarian cancer used to be called a silent killer but awareness of the pattern of key symptoms is an important aid to early diagnosis. The symptoms of ovarian cancer can be similar to those experienced during menstruation or irritable bowel syndrome and, as such, many women and GPs may dismiss them when in reality it could be pointing towards a significantly more serious problem," commented Dr Bryan Beattie, Director of Innermost Secrets. "We have constructed this diary to help women keep track of their symptoms over a 4 week period which can help GPs quickly identify any pattern and thus significance . There is an ideal opportunity this month for the media to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and we hope that our diary can play a part in that."
