Woman's Health Magazine asked Dr. Sadaty to clear up some
birth control misinformation for an article they were writing about the most common misconceptions about meds. MYTH! Staying on the Pill too long decreases
your chances of getting pregnant later. When you're ready for that Bugaboo stroller, the Wiccan fertility spell isn't your only option. As soon as the Pill is purged from your body (by the end of thef
first period after you stop taking it), you'll be able to conceive just as easily as someone who never took an oral contraceptive, says Anita Sadaty, M.D., attending physician in obstetrics and gynecology
at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, New York.
Dr. Anita Sadaty was interviewed by Technology Reporter Fred Fishkin of Bloomberg
News Radio on today's Obstetrics technology. The interview was broadcast in New York City on WBBR radio, and was syndicated on over 100 radio stations around the country.

FDA Approves Easy-To-Use Ovulation Test
Test Uses Saliva, And Is Considered More Accurate Than Conventional Tests
March 21, 2002 -- NEW YORK -- The Food and Drug Administration recently approved a new saliva ovulation test that can give women who are planning to get pregnant a better idea when they are most fertile.
The Donna Ovulation Predictor works like this: The woman would lick a little plastic disk, put it into a lipstick-size holder, and wait a few minutes. When the saliva is dry, the tester can look through
the lighted microscope lens, and look for a distinctive fern pattern -- a well-known hormonal effect.
"As you approach ovulation the estrogen level in your body increases. This then increases the salt content in the saliva," said Dr. Anita Sadaty, an obstetrician and gynecologist. "So when you place the
saliva and it dries on the microscope slide, under the microscope, you can see a crystallized salt pattern. You know it is a fern pattern that appears as you approach ovulation."health cast
In addition to being somewhat more convenient than the urine needed for other ovulation predictors, the Donna gives women a three- to four- day advance notice of ovulation -- an advantage when trying to
plan a family. "The advantage is for women who have irregular cycles," Sadaty said. "Women who have erratic cycles, or lengthily cycles, they really have no idea when they're going to be ovulating."
The Donna is not reliable, though, for women who are taking hormones such as birth control pills or fertility drugs.
Couples with fertility problems can often improve their chances of conceiving by accurately predicting when and if the woman is ovulating. Available in more than a dozen different forms,
ovulation predictors are making it easier for women to detect when they are ovulating. With so many varieties on the market, it can be difficult to know which one is right for you.
"It's hard to believe that a device so simple and inexpensive can give women the power to accurately and effectively predict their most fertile time of the month," says Dr. Anita Sadaty, an
obstetrician and gynecologist in Great Neck, N.Y. "I predict that Donna will save thousands of women the anxiety and discomfort of costly infertility treatments and medications, allowing them to
conceive safely and naturally on their own."

Tonight: a new test to find out the best time to get pregnant. It was just approved by the government. Health reporter Janet Wu has details. "As you approach ovulation the estrogen level in your body
increases. This then increases the salt content in the saliva. So when you place the saliva on the microscope slide under the microscope and it dries you can see a crystallized salt pattern called a
fern pattern," stated Dr. Anita Sadaty, Ob-Gyn.
