What Is  IVF

In recent years, advancements in medical science have opened up new avenues for couples struggling with infertility, and one of the most revolutionary solutions is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatment. For those IVF treatment, short for In Vitro Fertilization, involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body and then implanting the fertilized embryo into the uterus. This procedure has proven to be a game-changer for countless couples dealing with various infertility issues, including blocked fallopian tubes, low sperm count, or unexplained fertility problems. Fertility Cure Centres serve as the bridge between science and parenthood, offering comprehensive services to address the unique needs of each couple. facing challenges in conceiving naturally, IVF has become a beacon of hope, providing a ray of light in their journey toward parenthood. At the forefront of this reproductive revolution are Fertility Cure Centres, specialized facilities dedicated to guiding and supporting individuals through the intricate process of IVF.

What is IVF and how is it done?

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a process of assisted reproduction where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish. The fertilized egg (embryo) is then transferred to the woman's uterus, where it can implant and grow into a baby.

IVF is a complex process that involves many steps, including:

Stimulating the ovaries: The woman takes fertility medications to stimulate her ovaries to produce multiple eggs.

Egg retrieval: The eggs are retrieved from the woman's ovaries using a needle and ultrasound guidance.

Fertilization: The eggs are fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish.

Embryo culture: The fertilized eggs are cultured in a laboratory for several days.

Embryo transfer: The best-quality embryos are transferred to the woman's uterus.

The success rate of IVF treatment varies depending on the woman's age and other factors. The average success rate for women under age 35 is about 40%.

IVF is a safe procedure, but it does have some risks, including:

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: This is a rare but serious condition that can occur when the ovaries are overstimulated by fertility medications.

Multiple pregnancy: Because multiple embryos are often transferred to the uterus, there is an increased risk of having twins, triplets, or more.

Ectopic pregnancy: This is a serious condition that occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus.

IVF is a major decision, and it is important to talk to your fertility doctor about the risks and benefits before deciding if it is right for you.

Alabama supreme court rules frozen embryos are ‘children’

Court allows two wrongful death suits against fertility clinic to proceed while decision could impact people seeking IVF.]

absolutely horrifying news coming out of alabama.

the whole article is a terrifying but worthwhile read, but i wanna highlight two passages from it which are just absolutely fucking horrifying.

[Alternate Text:

Alabama supreme court justice Jay Mitchell wrote that embryos are indeed protected under the state’s existing law: “The central question presented in these consolidated appeals, which involve the death of embryos kept in a cryogenic nursery, is whether the act contains an unwritten exception to that rule for extrauterine children – that is, unborn children who are located outside of a biological uterus at the time they are killed,” he wrote. “Under existing black-letter law, the answer to that question is no: the Wrongful Death of a Minor Act applies to all unborn children, regardless of their location.”]

[Alternate Text:

The Alabama supreme court’s ruling repeatedly references God and the sanctity of life, citing the Bible and biblical scholars including Petrus van Mastricht, Thomas Aquinas and John Calvin. Chief Justice Thomas Parker wrote: “Human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself … this is true of unborn human life no less than it is of all other human life – that even before birth, all human beings bear the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory.”]

Obviously, the Alabama Supreme Court actually putting fetal personhood into law is another victory for creeping Christian Authoritarianism and yet another attack on health care, womens' rights, and bodily autonomy....but watching the Republicans flip their shit now that IVF clinics are in danger of closing is hilarious in a "the clown car is on fire" kind of way.

Because of course this was going to happen. Fetal personhood and anti-surrogacy (especially in the context of same-sex parents) has been bouncing around in conservative religious and legal circles (but what's the difference?) for decades, with those pesky liberals warning about it for just as long. Anyone with an inkling of awareness of the issue could have seen it coming.

So the fact that they were caught so off guard is myopic enough. And they're panicking for a very good reason, because yanno who generally goes to IVF clinics?

The people who can afford it.

Certainly the abortion bans in various states were bad, but if you had a lot of disposable income you could just...go to another state. Extremely inconvenient, yes, but not insurmountable. But this?

Oh my god, now the far-right pro-life politics that you've been cultivating for going on fifty years is now in a position to affect people with money? People that matter? Now you have to try and contend with the very extremist judges you installed that don't have to worry about getting elected and whose decisions are now putting you on the political chopping block?

Join us the in misery you're created for everyone else, assholes.

Hiii I have nothing to do at work so of course I have to day dream about different dark!Bucky scenarios (I do not condone cheating but this is really hot to me aaaa)😩 like imagine your husband and Bucky have always had an ongoing rivalry, They worked together, went to college together, hated every ounce of each other. One night you’re at the bar with your friends when Bucky comes over to you and buys you drink after drink after drink, taking you back to his house. He’s throwing you on his bed and ripping your clothes off, kissing you hungrily. “Get ready baby, this is gonna be much tougher than you’re used to.” “Please.” “Yeah? Is he not satisfying you baby? This pretty pussy deserves to be treated right, luckily I’m here now.” He’s so rough with you, fucking you harshly, the dirty talking is driving you crazy. He’s so cocky and cruel, bending you in several different positions and pounding into you for hours. If only you had seen the camera… (part 2??? Bucky making your husband watch the video 😭) -💒

This, a thousand times over 😵‍💫 and I can just imagine throwing all the stuff at him that you wouldn't dream of doing with your husband. Maybe your husband really doesn't let you explore your fantasies and if you've got one chance to do that, you're determined to take it.

Especially if Bucky is quite a bit rougher than you're used to while still being so respectful. He got the impression that you're not being fucked how you want to be and he wants to give you everything you dream of when you touch yourself. He's not necessarily rough with you because he wants to be. He's rough because that's what you want.

If he's feeling extra filthy too, he'd fuck you in the bed you share with your husband. You're on your hands and knees on the bed, presenting your glistening pussy to him, enjoying the sensation of him smearing your arousal over the tip of his cock.

"Fuck, do you know how bad I want this?" He hums quietly, trailing his leaking tip over your slick folds. "Do you know how badly I want to press inside you? You've made such a mess. Bet you feel like fuckin' Heaven and he doesn't even appreciate it."

With his free hand, Bucky grabs a handful of your ass, squeezing just enough that you feel it hurt.

"Don't want to rush this though." His tip lines up with your entrance, teasing the little fluttering hole and God, you're desperate. "I want to take my time. Want to make sure every time your head hits this pillow, you remember how it feels to have every. Last. Inch of me slip inside you."

You can't have him wait any longer though so you press your hips back onto him, feeling just the tip slide into you. "Good girl, that's it. Fuck yourself on me. You need this, don't you? You need to be fucked right for a change."

He's not wrong. You couldn't stop now, even if you wanted to so you keep going, taking all of him. The weight of him inside you is delightful.

"Oh God, you're perfect. You feel like you were made for me." He doesn't dare move. Instead, he takes a second to just enjoy the wet heat of your body and the snug fit of you around his cock.

"You are. A fucking. Dream." He tests the water with a few shallow thrusts, rutting his tip against the sweet spot inside you. You're so wet, you're convinced you must be dripping onto the sheets and your eyes roll back in your head at the very thought.

This is how sex is supposed to feel. You didn't think you could crave anyone the way you do now. "Buck, please." You whimper, rolling your hips back against him, pressing him as deep inside you as possible. "Don't be gentle."

You hear him groan and feel his fingertips trail down your spine, making you arch your back into the bed. "Is that what you need, sweetheart? Can tell just by looking at you that you need it hard and fast and rough tonight. I'll be gentle with you tomorrow morning, I promise. Gotta work some of that tension out of you first. Bet you haven't cum in months."

You don't like that he can tell so easily but you're not surprised either. The first sharp thrust knocks the air from your lungs but all you hear is a pathetic sob, followed by the crack of a hard spank to your ass and the blossoming, stinging pain he's inflicted.

You're not surprised that it only makes you wetter.

whoever writes informative pages about medical conditions that exclusively focus on how they affect fertility and don’t even mention that they cause debilitating pain should lose their job

I'll never be able to take the theory that Vincent is Sephiroth's real father seriously cuz I cannot stress enough how important I think it is to the plot that Vincent wanted to fuck Lucrecia and did not get to.

We're really doing it now lads

there's something so funny and deranged about force-fitting all these whack ass biblical parallels into xfiles existence—where mulder follows a star and scully gives birth in a dusty abandoned village and the gunmen are the three wise men and an evil force is after the special miracle newborn... ham-fistedly implying that scully's baby is the fucking messiah—just with the seeming purpose of walking back mulder and scully having sex

like imagine being such a tremendous hater that you try to give your lead characters who have done nothing but eye-fuck for eight years an immaculate conception. for funsies. that's so wildly funny

i think it's problematic to say that infertile couples should just look into adoption because, adoption should not be a service for people who'll make do with the next best thing. it should be about providing children who cannot live with biological family with parents. nobody is entitled to a child

+ that's also why IVF is wrong because nobody is entitled to a child in the way that IVF suggests they are as long as they just pay enough money for it. IVF creates moral problems where there shouldn't be any, and someone's desire to parenthood isn't more important than that.

I just don’t understand where y’all are getting off telling infertile couples they’re “entitled” for wanting to have a family. Like…apparently they shouldn’t adopt, they shouldn’t do IVF, lest y’all call them selfish assholes or whatever, but these people pay an arm and a leg to adopt or go through IVF because these things cost a lot of money and there’s no other choice than to pay that money, not because they inherently see children as a product to buy or consume. Easy for non-infertile people to tell them to just get over it, I guess? It’s almost like a superiority thing to be all, “Well you’re not ENTITLED to having children!” towards people who are struggling with something you yourself will never experience.

terrifies me sometimes that the US politics I have learnt largely against my will is still regularly more than the amount USians seem to know. like. yeah okay I am a political science student so that doesn’t help the situation. but when I, an anti-US Australian, am able to summarise the recent national security bill while USians are claiming that they’ve never heard of said bill……. what is happening

a rly underrated thing about crazy ex girlfriend imo is that it's one of the rare shows i know of that really spends time on exploring what the process of having children is like for queer ppl/for those who go about it "non-normatively". it's not even rly a main storyline but i still find it rly well-handled and touching.
