What is IVF?

In recent decades, advancements in medical science have revolutionized the field of reproductive medicine, providing hope and opportunities for couples struggling with infertility. One such groundbreaking technique is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). In this blog post, we will delve into the intricacies of IVF treatment, exploring what it is, how it works, and the potential it holds for those seeking to build a family.

What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization, commonly known as IVF, is a fertility treatment that involves the fertilization of an egg with sperm outside the human body. The process begins by extracting eggs from a woman's ovaries and fertilizing them with sperm in a laboratory dish. Once fertilization occurs, the resulting embryos are then implanted in the woman's uterus with the hope of establishing a successful pregnancy.

Understanding the IVF Process

Ovulation Induction: The first step in IVF involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. Fertility medications are administered to enhance egg production, monitored through ultrasound and blood tests.

Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, a minor surgical procedure known as egg retrieval is performed. A thin needle is inserted through the vaginal wall to collect the eggs from the ovaries.

Fertilization: The collected eggs are then combined with sperm in a controlled environment, allowing fertilization to occur. This step is closely monitored to ensure the formation of healthy embryos.

Embryo Culture: The fertilized eggs, now embryos, are cultured and monitored for several days. The healthcare team assesses their quality before selecting the most viable embryos for transfer.

Embryo Transfer: In the final step, one or more selected embryos are transferred into the woman's uterus. This is a relatively simple and painless procedure that aims to establish a successful pregnancy.

Success Rates and Considerations

IVF success rates vary depending on several factors, including the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, and the quality of the embryos. While some individuals achieve pregnancy in the first cycle, others may require multiple attempts. It's essential to approach IVF with realistic expectations and to consult with healthcare professionals to understand individual circumstances.

Challenges and Emotional Aspects

Embarking on an IVF journey can be emotionally challenging for couples. The process involves physical, emotional, and financial commitments, and individuals may experience a range of emotions, from hope and excitement to disappointment and stress. Support from loved ones and mental health professionals can play a crucial role in helping individuals navigate these challenges.

Conclusion

In Vitro Fertilization has emerged as a beacon of hope for many couples facing infertility challenges.

Top 10 Factors Affecting IVF Success Rates | Expert Insights from Dr. Archana Dhawan.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) offers hope to many couples struggling with infertility. However, the success of IVF is influenced by a combination of medical, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Dr. Archana Dhawan, a leading fertility expert, outlines the top ten key factors that can determine whether an IVF cycle will result in a successful pregnancy.

1. Age of the Woman.

Age is one of the most significant factors influencing IVF success. Women under the age of 35 generally have a higher chance of success due to better-quality eggs. As a woman ages, both the quantity and quality of her eggs decline, which can reduce the likelihood of successful fertilization and implantation. For women over 40, egg quality becomes an even more critical concern, and IVF success rates tend to decrease significantly.

2. Ovarian Reserve.

Ovarian reserve refers to the number of eggs a woman has remaining in her ovaries, and it's closely linked to IVF success. Women with a higher ovarian reserve tend to respond better to ovarian stimulation during IVF. This can result in more eggs being retrieved, leading to higher chances of success. A fertility specialist can assess ovarian reserve through tests like an ultrasound or blood tests measuring levels of hormones such as AMH (Anti-Müllerian Hormone).

3. Sperm Quality.

The quality of sperm is just as important as the quality of eggs in determining the success of IVF. Factors such as sperm count, motility (the ability to move), and morphology (shape) all play a role. Low-quality sperm may affect fertilization rates, while poor motility or abnormal sperm shapes can lead to implantation failure or miscarriage. For this reason, male fertility assessments are as crucial as female fertility evaluations during IVF planning.

4. Embryo Quality.

The quality of the embryos is a critical factor in IVF success. Not all fertilized eggs will develop into high-quality embryos, and this can directly affect implantation rates. Clinics often grade embryos based on their appearance and developmental stage, with higher-grade embryos having a better chance of successful implantation. Advances in genetic screening technologies, such as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT), have also helped identify embryos with the highest potential for success.

5. Uterine Health.

The health of the uterus is essential for the implantation and growth of an embryo. Conditions like fibroids, polyps, or a thin endometrial lining can interfere with implantation. A fertility specialist will evaluate the uterus using ultrasounds, hysteroscopy, or other diagnostic methods to ensure that the uterine environment is conducive to a successful pregnancy. Ensuring uterine health is key before transferring embryos during IVF.

6. Treatment Protocol.

Every IVF patient is unique, and treatment protocols should be tailored to the individual. A personalized approach to IVF, taking into account factors like age, ovarian reserve, and response to previous treatments, can improve outcomes. Fertility specialists may adjust hormone dosages or choose different protocols based on how a patient responds to initial treatments. The success of IVF largely depends on these carefully planned protocols.

7. Lifestyle Choices.

Lifestyle choices such as smoking, alcohol consumption, diet, and exercise play a significant role in fertility and IVF outcomes. Smoking can reduce both egg quality and sperm count, while excessive alcohol or caffeine intake can interfere with hormone levels. A healthy, balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding toxins like smoking can help optimize the chances of IVF success. Maintaining a healthy weight, particularly for women, is also essential.

8. Stress Management.

Stress can impact fertility by influencing hormone levels, which in turn affects ovulation and implantation. High levels of stress can lower IVF success rates by affecting both physical and emotional well-being. Fertility specialists often recommend stress management techniques like yoga, meditation, and counseling to help patients stay calm and balanced throughout the IVF process.

9. Clinic Expertise.

The fertility clinic's experience, expertise, and success rates play a major role in the outcome of IVF. Clinics with highly skilled specialists, state-of-the-art laboratories, and a comprehensive approach to care tend to have higher success rates. Researching a clinic's success rates, patient reviews, and the experience of the medical team is crucial when choosing where to undergo IVF treatment.

10. Technological Advancements.

Advances in IVF technology have made the process more successful than ever. Techniques like ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection), embryo freezing, and genetic screening (PGT) have greatly improved the chances of success. Additionally, improvements in laboratory conditions, such as the use of time-lapse imaging to monitor embryo development, have allowed for better selection of embryos for transfer. Staying updated on the latest technological advancements can improve your chances of success.

Conclusion

While IVF offers hope to many, it’s important to understand that the process is complex, and success rates can vary from person to person. By working closely with a skilled fertility specialist like Dr. Archana Dhawan, patients can address these key factors and optimize their chances of a successful IVF outcome. A personalized approach that takes into account all of the factors above is essential to achieving the dream of parenthood through IVF.

also it seems like a giant fuck you to introduce sevika as someone who is tired of playing nice with piltover and wants zaun to defend itself and then narratively punish her for it over and over. she loses her arm repeatedly. she loses nearly every fight. she’s never happy. everyone close to her dies brutally and nobody even tells her. her community does not respect her. she is ignored every time she tries to rally her community and make change. she does not want to fight in piltover’s war but her people die in enforcer uniforms anyway. all for her ending (with no dialogue!) to be: accepting a position on the council to play nice with piltover.

A detail I like is how after officially returning, Jason tested Bruce and Dick, like it's the first thing he did

[fromtheseventhhell]

"But what's going to happen if Trump gets into office???" He's gonna do the exact same things that Biden is currently doing and spineless liberals who have been defending him like they're getting paid for it are only going to have an issue cause it's the "bad" party doing it

[mayonnaise-sock]

The fact the people actually fucking think that israel is just defending themselves or that palestine deserves any of this is genuinely fucking insane. Like enraging. How is anyone on israel’s side when the idf shot 300 bullets from a tank into a six year old girl. How is israel the victim when they’re storming hospitals and schools. They do not care if those hostages are alive. They’re just trying to wipe out the last of the country they’ve been trying to steal for 75 years. “It’s complicated” it’s a fucking genocide. If a thousand jews took a thousand germans hostage in WWII would it have been complicated? No, it’s still a fucking genocide. Not to mention that israel has a history with this stuff. Kicking people out because it’s “promised land”??? Just because it was promised to you in a book written two fucking thousand years ago, doesn’t mean the people there don’t matter.

Seeing people say “good, hamas brought this upon themselves” or claiming being anti zionist is antisemetic or even that anti zionists support hamas is just blatant ignorance. You can just say you’re a nazi because you may as well be.

Hey! So I’m new to being popular but I’m thinking of making a couple stickers (or something) with memes related to our blog.

Related to that I also want a new profile pic.

My current one is fanart and the artist gave me permission to use it on the condition that I don’t use the pic to make money (which is absolutely reasonable, I’m not arguing with that at all)

But if I make stickers or something I’d like to have the profile pic as an option. I think it could be fun to have a fanart competition and I pick a winner and use the pic.

BUT BUT BUT!!! Is this rude to artists? Cause I know I could pay someone to commission art and I feel like if I’m asking followers to make art for me then maybe I’m extorting you? but it could also be a great way to involve yall! I genuinely don’t know what to do here and I want to hear honest opinions.

Is it okay to do a fanart competition (of a Gardevoir) and use that to sell/ become new profile pic?

Or should I just find an artist and pay?

“Hancock is bad with kids” “Hancock is bad with Shaun” no, well, maybe, but where I was getting at was, the objectively funniest dynamic there that I can think of is that Hancock does, indeed, not know what to do around kids BUT Shaun is super curious because of that and will not leave him alone. Hancock will be looking at sole like “I can’t handle this, i don’t know what to do, get your kid” and Shaun is just like “why do you dress like that? Do you still get sunburnt? Do you like lazer rifles? I like lazer rifles.” Like a cat that sees the person ignoring them and goes up to them for attention. And the funniest response from sole is something like “the sunburn question is rude, Shaun” and then they continue doing whatever they were before saying that.

How does a "You look so much like your father" style comment plays out in the bad timeline in which Vee wasn't there to tell Camila about Belos?

i think it goes down pretty similarly to how it does in the main AU timeline, honestly. i guess the key differences here being that hunter isn't present and that luz is completely disoriented and out of her element.

camila murmurs it without thinking and luz flinches really bad and camila kicks herself & Immediately apologizes. she doesn't know luz has father-specific trauma now, but she Does know she's a strange lady that luz doesn't remember & that luz is having a godawful time & that it's not fair to dump any familial expectations on her. she's really careful not to say anything similar in the future.

...I forget how evil you can be with cliffhangers sometimes D: You can't just leave it like that! What was next?? (yes I could guess but I'd rather have an Ange ramble :3 )

-🎀

oh wow i really left you hanging on that one, oopsie <3

after the Original Raven died, rei's soul... just... dragged another raven in. because he couldn't bear it. he couldn't, not with that, not like that.

this meant another twin bond had to snap so that our rei's could be patched up. for that, to at least somehow maintain things, a bunch of things needed to be... erased.

the new raven came in as a blank slate. no attachments! no memories.

the memory of original raven's death was also erased.

now this set off a whole different chain of events. rei never experienced that horrible traumatic event of being on that cliffside and seeing crying raven topple. he never had to be haunted by the words i need you being raven's last.

he never got to learn from that, in a way.

this new raven was clueless. didn't recognise anyone! so this started a whole spiral, and a family crisis. the abrupt amnesia was suddenly on the table, without anyone knowing the cause. they started rebuilding raven's foundations, and... raven remained the center of attention.

rei was even more invisible than before.

his pain was not important in any of this. not anymore. not ever raven could pay attention to that at this point.

but here's the thing. this raven didn't belong here. in this reality. in this world.

so the reality rejected him. slowly at first, and then all at once.

it got rid of him.

this means another raven has died.

and rei's bond, frayed and agonised, still couldn't allow raven to go.

so another raven came in!! (cue carousel music)

blank, again. no memory. the family had to deal with another amnesia out of the blue. nobody remembered the deaths. they thought this is still the same person.

and. it kept happening.

at some point, their dad left the picture.

their mom is doing her best. but she's so, so exhausted. working impossibly long hours on top of everything. and so a lot of the pressure was delegated to rei. look after your brother. make sure he's safe. make sure he knows how to get home. make sure he knows who we are.

all of that.

and rei wasn't meant to be the responsible one. he wasn't meant to be trusted with fragile things.

he doesn't know how to reconcile himself with this and still keep a semblance of his own life. it all just boils. he continues hurtling down bad paths.

well, he tried, at first. but eventually, the cycle became fatiguing and, honesly, hopeless. pointless, almost. so he started doing the bare minimum.

rei's current go-to strategy is to just orient raven enough and then promptly tell him to stay away and leave him be, because rei's the bad one between the two of them. he explains to him, in no uncertain terms, that he doesn't care. that raven doesn't want to be near him.

(and he does care. he still cares so damn much.)

(he just can't do this.)

eventually, the reality decided enough's enough. time to change something up, because this clearly isn't working.

this is where our raven enters.

our raven comes from a world where rei doesn't exist. he never had a sibling. there's no bond that needs to be erased for this to go smoothly.

so he's just yanked, and thrown in. all of him intact, including his memories.

which means he's different. he no longer follows the script rei has so meticulously written.

it also means that he's much more acutely aware that he doesn't belong here. he's much more susceptible to those reality glitches and the growing, impeding rejection. the shadows, the voices, the funky mirrors. all of it just building up around him into one big nightmare.

and i do have fun bits about all of this!! let's rewind slightly back and talk about our raven crossing over into this world!

as i said before, when raven first crosses realities, he's in a scary place for a little bit. that's an in-between world of sorts. there's a guide, and he instantly starts rambling off that this is a place for lost souls—and then he cuts off. "oh, it's you, raven."

he knows him.

he knows raven, because he's seen countless iterations of him pass through.

as they walk across this realm, they come across another person. and that person tells raven, who asks what does a world for lost souls even mean, that he isn't lost. which irks our guide! even though he knows it's true in this case.

and they sort of. argue! throwing in fun little foreshadowings like, do you really want to watch the same thing happen again for the hundreth time? and this is how things work and no they DON'T work, that's the whole point!

they also say,

"he's destroying his world!"

"it isn't his."

"goddammit, he's destroying SOMEONE'S world!"

"worlds."

"worlds!!"

"it's not his fault."

anyway, no, raven doesn't bother paying attention to them, too distracted by an inner pull towards an alleyway with an old, broken mirror.

the world transforms into a maze around him in a blink, and then opens up into an expanse of water that keeps rising. the guide ís back next to him, insisting that raven should be the one to control what's around them. telling raven to change it up. to make it safer.

but then the guide corrects himself, realising that it's not in raven's control. it's in theirs. all the other ravens.

it's all the trauma and misery that seeps in and dictates the shape of this place now.

raven and the guide proceed to have a stressed-out back-and-forth, where the guide doesn't provide any useful answers. he says he's the guide for lost souls, but raven isn't lost, so he can't really guide him. but! he can give him a piece of advice.

the advice is, your other self will show you the way. and to trust him.

of course raven just rolls his eyes because what the fuck.

the back of raven's neck tingles as if he was watched, and when he looks over, there's a mirror labyrinth. and he feels drawn in, as the water keeps incessantly rising, now swallowing up his legs.

before he can go, the guide stops him with a pensive, "he was right, you know." (he, as in, that other person the guide was arguing with before.) and he says, quietly, urgently, uneasily: "what do you think happens to people who succumb to the pull of that part of their soul that never belonged to them in the first place? to people who inadvertently step into an empty space just to fill it?" a short pause, and then a heavy finish: "... to people like you?"

raven doesn't get more than this.

the next thing he knows, the guide is gone, and the mirror maze is here, right around him.

the water never goes away. it keeps rushing in around him.

the mirror images are... disturbing, to say the least. ravens, countless of them, but not him. there's panic, there's blood, there is despair.

he doesn't really want to see it.

he keeps moving—swimming, now, his clothes dragging him down—realising that this maze might not have an end. that there might not be an exit. that he can't get out.

it's once the water rises far enough for him to realise that there is a ceiling that the panic truly sets in. he's swallowed up, caught, and no matter how much he screams, nobody is helping. (the mirror ravens now all watch him, drawn to his desperation like moths to a flame. looking on with sympathy, uncertainty, fear.)

despodently, he remembers the guide's words.

your other self will show you the way.

he's out of options. he takes his last breath and goes under, searching.

there is a mirror right in front of him.

the raven on the other side is water-drenched, but standing on dry land. he stares back with an indecipherable grief. drops trail down his cheeks.

he says, "i know how it feels." and then, quieter: "i'm sorry."

raven's lungs burn. his mind is filled with indescribable panic. darkness swims across his vision.

his mirror self half-whispers, brokenly: "this wasn't meant to happen."

it's at this point that raven blacks out.

there's a fuzzy sense of sinking, deeper and deeper into an endless ocean. the water is calm, heavy, pressing at him from every side. it all feels sleepy, slow motion. it feels like the end.

he's awoken sharply, his head ringing with words without a voice:

this world does not belong to you.

he wakes up in an unfamiliar bed.

Most people's reactions to the new RF: Oh thank god all the likely love interests thus far actually look like adults!!!

Me: Please god let them be hyping up the "town building" addition more than necessary. I DO NOT want to actually make and shape the town. Please.

grappling with the question of "okay i've been too disabled to work for like a year with no signs of that changing, but what should i actually Do with my time that might be in some way slightly fulfilling without causing The Woes". getting back into music has been one answer, but i need at least one other. i'm thinking that learning a language really properly might be the most promising idea.

Crowdsourcing some planning for a tabletop campaign I'm hoping to GM:

Hundreds of years after an urban place is abandoned due to catastrophe, a group of people have decided to try to live there again. What's the best now-overgrown building or area for them to settle into to try to carve out a safe space amidst the ruins?

dad for one but with rei...

Could you like, imagine if Rei was his daughter he didn't know what to do with, she's strong and cold but doesn't particularly want to be a villain, and he doesn't much want her to be one either, not in any way that threatens his stuff or her life at least. But then he hears Endeavor's been looking around for a match and he thinks "oh, there's no way he's gonna fall for an ice match right, he knows that would end awful right" but uh he fell for the match and the fake family in need and Rei's beautiful but aloof air, so,,, why not stick with it and see where it goes? it'll be good blackmail material, right? and its not like his daughter has a life of her own, or anything. he can bring her back to the base after and no one is any wiser, and she'll hate heroes even more and- kid?? and a second kid so soon? does she just want to get it over with? well seems like it's working, his underling tells him Touya is having problems with his quirk, but now instead of divorce and setting himself up for blackmail, Endeavor just keeps trying?? now four grandkids?? and Rei, showing her nerves on the phonecall with him for the first time in years, tells him that Touya tried to kill his baby brother and this one actually had the quirk Endeavor wanted and AfO thought impossible?? AfO decides nows the time to collect his family back and gets Touya before he can completely burn up, but Rei realizes she'd rather have her kids stuck with Enji than AfO, so she chooses to burn Shoto's face so Enji keeps him close and sends her away and??? i dunno she just hopes everyone forgets about Fuyumi and Natsuo because they're safer ignored and neglected than anything else???
