Introduction
Research at the Liggins Institute focuses on understanding the long-term health consequences of early life events. Nutrition is potentially one of the most important environmental factors that can determine our health in later life. Liggins research has shown that alterations in nutrition of mother, fetus and newborn may lead to chronic metabolic diseases in adulthood, such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease. Understanding how these early-life environmental signals lead to adult disease and then developing possible interventions to address this underpins the institute’s vision of A Healthy Start for a Healthy Life for all New Zealanders. 100% of funds raised at this event will directly support a special research project which is currently being undertaken by Professor Wayne Cutfield and his team based at the Liggins Institute. Through clinical trials and laboratory studies, they are investigating a possible gut micro biome treatment for teenagers who suffer from obesity and related diabetes.

Fertility FAQs with Fertility Associates DR ANDREW MURRAY Fertility Specialist Medical Director Fertlity Associates Wellington
Fertility can be complex, at Fertility Associates I often gets asked the same types of questions: Do I need a referral to see a fertility doctor? I would suggest that it is good to let your GP know what you are thinking in terms of your fertility health. Having a referral often means that your first consultation will take place with more information, and test results. Many couples like to make an enquiry without involving their GP and self-refer to fertility clinics, this is ok too, but you should try and come with as much information as you can.
I am single and in my midthirties. Is there a way to assess my future fertility? There are good tests to assess the number of eggs you have, but without more complex investigations, it is difficult to know what your chance of pregnancy would be. The Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) test can predict
whether you are likely to continue to ovulate for as long as most other women. It’s a useful test, however, for younger women who are thinking of deferring conception. If the AMH is low (fewer eggs than you would expect), then they may change their plan or look at treatment options like egg freezing.
I am 39 and have been trying to have a baby for two years. What are the options available to me? As you get older, your chance of conception month by month, declines significantly. At 39, your chance of having a baby naturally is around 9% each month. It is entirely possible you have not conceived yet by chance alone, however I would recommend you see a fertility specialist. Where you will be given an assessment of your chance of conception as well as some suggestions about potential treatments.
