It is right outside the back door, so it is easy to check. Our old one was farther out in the yard and no one ever wanted to check it. Our plan is to keep monthly records and then check them against the averages at USClimateData. To record our data, I wanted to keep it simple. My kids deal better with simple. I created these rainfall chart printables for us to use record our rainfall data.

They include daily 24 hour and monthly charts. Recording rainfall is a great way to get kids to pay attention to the weather, the atmosphere, and the seasons.

They can observe changes in the amounts of rainfall during different times of the year. Comparing data with historical averages lets them know if the precipitation they are observing is normal for that time of year. That can lead to further weather and climate studies. Rain gauges come in lots of variations. From simple glass tubes you can mount on your deck or patio, to wireless weather stations that can measure rain, temperature, wind, humidity, and more.

Leprechaun Science Magic Milk for St. Around the age of 50, which is when menopause normally occurs, the ovaries stop releasing eggs — but most women are already largely infertile by this point, as ovulation becomes more infrequent in the run-up.

The menopause comes all-too-soon for many women, says Sfakianoudis. The age of motherhood is creeping up, and more women are having children in their 40s than ever before. But as more women delay pregnancy, many find themselves struggling to get pregnant. The menopause also comes early — before the age of 40 — for around 1 per cent of women, either because of a medical condition or certain cancer treatments, for example.

To turn back the fertility clock for women who have experienced early menopause, Sfakianoudis and his colleagues have turned to a blood treatment that is used to help wounds heal faster. It is widely used to speed the repair of damaged bones and muscles, although its effectiveness is unclear. The treatment may work by stimulating tissue regeneration.

When they injected PRP into the ovaries of menopausal women, they say it restarted their menstrual cycles, and enabled them to collect and fertilise the eggs that were released. Six months after the team injected PRP into her ovaries, she experienced her first period since menopause. These embryos are now on ice — the team is waiting until there are at least three before implanting some in her uterus. The researchers say they have managed to isolate and fertilise eggs from most of them.

PRP has already been helpful for pregnancy in another group of women, says Sfakianoudis. Around 10 per cent of women who seek fertility treatment at his clinic have a uterus that embryos find difficult to attach to — whether due to cysts, scarring from miscarriages or having a thin uterine lining. The hormonal changes that trigger menopause can also make the heart, skin and bones more vulnerable to ageing and disease, while hot flushes can be very unpleasant.

Many women are reluctant to take hormone replacement therapy to reduce these because of its link with breast cancer. Rejuvenating the ovaries with PRP could provide an alternative way to boost the supply of youthful hormones, delaying menopause symptoms.

More eggs, please. Some have raised concerns about the safety and efficacy of the procedure, saying the team should have tested the approach in animals first.

New techniques often find their way into the fertility clinic without strong evidence, thanks to huge demand from people who are often willing to spend their life savings to have a child, she says.

If the technique does hold up under further investigation, it could raise ethical questions over the upper age limits of pregnancy — and whether there should be any. Health issues like gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia and miscarriage are all more common in older women.
