Benefits of Online IVF Consultation

If you're considering in vitro fertilization (IVF), online IVF consultation offers several unique benefits:

Preparing for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

IVF can be a complex process, and proper preparation is essential for success. Online IVF consultation provides you with detailed guidance on pre-treatment steps, such as fertility testing, medication protocols, and lifestyle adjustments. This preparation phase optimizes your chances of a successful IVF cycle.

Personalized IVF Treatment Guidance

During the online IVF consultation, the fertility specialist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This includes determining the appropriate medication dosages, monitoring protocols, and embryo transfer strategies. Personalized guidance enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of your IVF treatment.

Cost-Effective Approach

In addition to the convenience factor, online IVF consultation can be a cost-effective option. You save on travel expenses, accommodation, and potential time off work. Online consultations also tend to have lower consultation fees compared to traditional in-person visits. This cost-effectiveness can make IVF more accessible to individuals or couples who may have budget constraints.

Emotional Support and Counseling

Undergoing fertility treatments can be emotionally challenging. Online IVF consultation services often include emotional support and counseling as part of their comprehensive care. Fertility specialists and counselors can provide guidance, address your concerns, and help you navigate the emotional ups and downs associated with the IVF process.

plan b

___

foreword: thank you to this anon, this was just the right amount of sitcom Spider-man pointing meme-ery that I needed. wrote this with husky!neighbor!Eddie since I thiiiink I’ve established that version of him is modern so hopefully this aligns with my made-up canon. lol.

wc: 1.9k

cw: weight mention (in the context of finding meds, no numbers used), embarrassment on R’s end of kink discussion, frenemies vibes between R and Eddie (they get under each other’s skin but in a hot way <3), Eddie is soft-domming in public, no actual smut but still +18 mdni

DISCLAIMER: Plan B can really fuck your shit up and shouldn’t necessarily be used when introducing new kinks. Please do your research and consult w/ a medical professional before using. Putting the fiction in fic with this one.

_____

Christ, there are too many options.

Your vision is swimming in the Family Planning aisle, fluorescent overheads of the CVS taking up residence in your left temple.

You press your fingertips against the spot, massaging gently as you pull different brands of boxes from the shelf to inspect the instructions.

This one says take within twenty-four hours, that might be- oh, shit, there’s a weight cap. Dammit. And this one’s… twice the price? For fucking why?

Frustrated, you shove the expensive thing back in place. The words on the blue label next in line catches your eye- Pre-Seed Fertility Lubricant- and you snap your hand away, as if scorched. Nope. Opposite of what you need. Christ. Pre-Seed?!

It’s almost giggle-worthy. You take out your phone, glancing up and down the aisle; the store is empty this late at night, just an older woman behind the front registers who had greeted you earlier with bored corporate formality, eyes fixed on her magazine.

Picture of Pre-Seed, taken. Check that one off the list. The only person who you’d want to share a laugh over text about this with is the one person who does not need to know why you’re in the goddamn Family Planning aisle at ten PM. On a Thursday.

At least, not yet. You lock your phone, pocketing it before zeroing in on the purple and green-themed Plan B that boasts One Tablet, One Step.

Although it’s pricier than some of the other morning-after pills, it’s the only one that you feel fully confident about buying. You give the box a little toss, feeling the next-to-nothing weight of it in your palm. Fifty bucks for a tiny pill, one that you may not even end up using- but you’ll be goddamned if you’re caught unprepared.

“Can I help you find anything?”

Your blood flashes cold, then hot, as you realize who the voice belongs to- attention focused elsewhere, you didn’t hear Eddie sidling up the aisle until now.

He’s leaning into his arm on the nearest shelf, grinning wolfishly at his own joke, chocolate eyes lit up at having found you here. He looks obscene- biceps and chest bulging at the stretched fabric of his t-shirt, hair unspooling dark curls from a low bun, black ink tattoos rippling over his bare forearms and peeking out from beneath his collar.

Honestly, you don’t know why he wasn’t stopped at the door by the woman on night shift. He’s bordering public indecency with those fitted Levi’s alone.

Fortunately the shock of hearing Eddie’s low voice is not enough to send the Plan B in your hand flying- too late to reshelve it without him seeing, you cling to it tighter, plastic creaking under your grip as you pray to every god ever that he doesn’t notice.

“Oh! Hey. Hi. Haha, very funny.” Well, that was smooth, but at least you said something comprehensible. “What’re you doing here?”

Eddie doesn’t seem to notice anything amiss, using his free arm to reach for a pack of condoms near your head- “Late night shopping. Stocking up for the weekend. Can’t seem to keep these around, seeing as I’m being fucked out of house and home.”

”Well… apartment,” you correct, heart leaping at the smile lines that jump around Eddie’s eyes. This is good, maybe you can just keep him talking and find a second to shove the Plan B into a random spot or perhaps launch it into the sun-

Nope, too late. Mid-crinkle, Eddie’s eyes drop to the package in your hand, and you watch his face drop as he processes multiple trains of thought at once.

“Oh, shit. Is that… did we…?”

There’s a pinch between his dark brows, likely running through the last few weeks of your hookups (which have all been protected) and trying to do the mental math; you shake your head, trying to stammer through the flush of embarrassment that’s overtaking your system.

“No, it’s not- not from us. Not from you. I mean…” you trail off, shifting uncomfortably from one sneaker to the other as words hit a jam in your throat.

Eddie’s in a full frown now, pushing off the shelf, standing to his full height, confusion and hurt seeping into his expression, voice quiet and pitched deep- “Is it from someone else?”

“Oh my god.” This was a nightmare, right? You’d like to wake up now. “No, no, not from anyone else. It’s-”

A sharp exhale, a shake of your head, and the words loosen all at once- “I was gonna get it for us, for me, for this weekend, if you wanted to give me a reason to use it.”

Eddie goes as still as you’ve ever seen him before, fingers stopped in their usual constant tapping, blinking at the box in your hands.

His face smooths.

Then he smiles.

Your stomach flips.

Eddie slides the condoms back into the wrong spot, not bothering to look as he leans in close enough for you to smell the spice of his cologne as he says in a sex-dipped timbre: “Well if you wanted me to fill you up with my cum, why didn’t you just say so?”

A horrified, awkward squawk escapes before you can bite it back; your head whips down the aisle to make sure no one else was within earshot of his dirty mouth as you blindly shove the Plan B away, deep into a shelf. “Oh my god. Jesus christ.”

”Eddie is just fine,” he responds mildly, the cool demeanor to your rapidly heating one as his grin simmers wicked between dimpled cheeks.

“Forget it,” you start, shaking your head and making to brush past, embarrassment flooding in hot, “Just forget-”

Eddie catches you by the elbow, effectively locking you in place with a single move, but he’s not looking at you; with his free hand, he snaps up the slightly crumpled box and scans the words.

“Y’think one will be enough?”

The flood subsides, gives you pause enough to stutter out, “W-what?”

Eddie’s fingers flex on your arm. He turns the box over in his big hand, rings glinting. “We’d better get two. Just in case.”

Your skin feels the impression of his palm even after he lets go, like a Polaroid in rapid reverse as he grabs a second box, warmth fading fast from your skin. “I don’t think- I mean, that’s not how they work, I should probably find a more permanent sol-”

“Just for the weekend.” His eyes are back on you now, self-satisfied smirk giving way to something darker, more intense. “Yeah?”

A shiver casts goosebumps down the length of your body. He’s goddamn toying with you, in the middle of a fucking CVS. Despite your flare of irritation, you nod, voice nearly a croak as you echo, “Yeah.”

The grin lights up his face again. “Good girl.”

Eddie doesn’t give you time to react to this (verbally, anyways- your cunt is most certainly responding to the praise despite your best efforts to remain unaffected), using one large hand to hold both boxes and another to press at the small of your back, leading you down the aisle.

Truthfully, you’re grateful for the help (regardless of his dominance-based tendencies that don’t usually get you this easy); based on the ringing in your ears, you’re doubtful of your own ability to navigate the maze of aisles.

Eddie walks you both to the front register, and you watch as if outside of your own body while the cashier scans the barcodes and Eddie swipes his card.

He pockets the receipt, slides a finger through the handles of the plastic bag, and holds it out between your bodies. Right in front of the goddamn cashier.

”For you.”

This brings you back to yourself, a bit, mortification giving way to annoyance (a much more useful emotion in this scenario), and you snatch it to your chest. It’s your turn to grab Eddie’s elbow, half-dragging him towards the exit.

“Come again soon,” the cashier calls, still in monotone.

So close. You’re less than a yard away from the sliding glass doors that would have swallowed Eddie’s reply- but as it stands, he gets in one last cheerful wave, an award-winning, dimple-charmed smile to match his bright response.

“She will!”

Damn him. You give a final tug and you’re both out in the parking lot, glass doors closing automatically with a whoosh behind you, cool night air kissing at your cheeks.

”Seriously?” You’re mature enough to recognize that your anger is misplaced, adrenaline-fueled, but that doesn’t stop you from whirling on Eddie, giving his shoulder a sharp shove that (unfortunately, tantalizingly) doesn’t move him an inch. “I can never return to this fucking store. Thanks for that.”

Eddie really doesn’t help his case, grin turned shit-eating as he rustles through his various pockets for his pack of cigarettes- “Careful, sweetheart- you know how hot and bothered I get when you’re mad.”

”Unbelievable.” You turn on a swift heel, slipping the bag loops up your arm to dig for your keys. “You just got me blacklisted from our local drugstore and you don’t even care.”

There’s the snick of a lighter behind you, while your car a few spaces down chirrups and blinks in response to the furious press of your fob’s unlock button.

Eddie chuckles, sardonic and unsympathetic. “Too bad this is the only CVS in the whole world. I think you’ll live, princess.”

Ignoring this, you stomp towards your car, petulant, bag rustling; the door is half-open when Eddie calls, “So, are you coming over tonight, or what?”

“Obviously!”

The door slams with more force than you intend, sound ricocheting across the lot.

From the respite of your tinted windows, you watch as a streetlamp-haloed Eddie takes a drag from a cigarette, smoke drifting thick around a hazy visage of the hottest man alive. (Maybe you’re a touch biased. But your opinion is based on personal accounts, so fuck the naysayers.)

He tips his head back to look at the stars, pale column of throat illuminated- with a flush of realization, you scoff. He’s putting on a show for you.

Two can play, you think, driving your seatbelt into place with a click. But first I’m gonna have to make a stop at home. Namely for new undies.

How to make a homunculus no glue no borax

Materials:

• human semen (fresh)

• horse dung (fresh). If not available, place cucurbit instead in a secure temperature controlled environment of about body temperature.

• arcanum of human blood (or mercury)

• cucurbit (a jar similar to an alembic. See below). If you do not have a cucurbit, instead use a large jar, about a foot tall.

• you may need a syringe

Optional:

• gloves (leather recommended)

• syringe

• uterus of a horse

Instructions:

1.) Insert the horse uterus into your cucurbit or jar so that the opening is at the top. If not using a horse uterus, ignore this step.

2.) Embed the lower 2/3 of cucurbit or jar in horse dung. This should remain at a stable temperature in a stable environment for 40 days. Horse dung will heat naturally. Process should not be disturbed.

3.) If needed, use a syringe to insert the human semen into the horse uterus in the cucurbit or jar. If not using a horse uterus, instead insert the semen directly into the container.

4.) Cover the cucurbit or jar with its lid and embed it into the dung until the bottom of the lid touches.

5.) After 40 days, your homunculus — though not yet visible — will begin to quiver. At this point, insert mercury or another arcanum of human blood to feed your homunculus as needed. Incubate for 40 weeks or until fully grown.

Pro tip: If you wish to keep your homunculus caged and captive, be aware that upset homunculi are prone to attempts at escape and can be hostile. Be sure to keep your homunculus tightly secured, if at all. Many opt for a glass jar. I would not, however, recommend such a tactic, as there have been numerous cases of homunculi escaping from simple jars (note the case of Count Johann Ferdinand von Kufstein and l’Abbé Geloni).

Rather than keep your homunculus captive, it is encouraged that it be raised as a human infant for maximum efficiency.

Example of the types of alchemical containers and apparatuses, including the cucurbit (called a cucurbite in the first image and tazza in the second image):

Popular uses for homunculi and closely related creatures:

1.) Many people use their homunculi as part of a machine with which to transform urine to a more pure substance, such as mercury or antimony.

2.) Others, such as Faust, have used their homunculi as more intimate helpers in magical practice.

3.) Some people eat mandragoras (also know as mandrakes, duda’im, or alraunen) for their hallucinogenic, aphrodisiac, and narcotic properties. DO NOT eat your homunculi. This will NOT provide the same effect.

4.) Mandragoras can be made into amulets of love, good fortune, fertility, etc. (for best results, consult a Romani person).

5.) Mandragoras are used in most magical flying ointments and in other potions.

6.) Mandragoras can also be used as incense (hallucinogenic).

Feel free to ask for sources etc. Stay tuned for more alchemical DIY guides!

fetch modi expansion pack: 'hungry hungry hippos' / 'twister' / 'magic: the gathering'

(page 770-778)

I’ve only known Jade for nineteen pages and already I am so struck by how she’s presented differently to the other characters. Here are the differences I’ve noticed so far:

Jade is asleep during her introduction.

Jade’s incorrect name is graded ‘?’ instead of ‘X’.

Jade is not in her room while being introduced, and we are not immediately given a list of her interests.

Jade may in fact have more than one room, as the garden atrium is referred to as hers (p.768).

Jade’s arms are already out, and do not have to be retrieved.

Jade correctly names herself, instead of allowing the player to do this. (Very transgender of her).

Jade has more than one shirt symbol – so far we’ve seen ‘atom’, ‘pumpkin’, ‘leaf’ and ‘Slimer (blue variant)’.

Jade plays more than one instrument, and possibly more than one mode of playing music (‘silly’ as well as ‘haunting’, perhaps).

Jade does not yet have a fetch modus assigned, and has multiple modi to choose from right away.

Jade seems to have a reasonably healthy relationship with her guardian, acknowledging both positives and negatives in her grandfather, instead of dramatically leaning in one direction.

Jade doesn’t appear to have any restrictions on her short term actions; p.777 suggests she’s free to move around both inside and outside the house, and isn’t in immediate danger.

Jade obeys the command to ‘squeal like a piglet and fertilize some plants’.

Some of these involve Jade having more than one of things the other characters had only one of. Could Jade have more than one family member? Perhaps a large family of which her grandfather is the patriarch, keeping control over the household but also keeping the family tight knit?

‘Things seem to appear and disappear around here all the time. Especially, to your unending chagrin, any sort of large orange gourd that might be lying around.’ (p.770) Somebody set WV’s appearifier coordinates to Jade’s location, and has been taking her things for a while. However, the appearifier is NOT also a deappearifier (only a dunce would think so) – there must also be a deappearifier keyed to her location. Could this be in the apple shaped bunker we saw in WV: Ascend? And do these being locked onto Jade’s location have anything to do with the frog tower?

It is hard to imagine how some of Jade’s fetch modi (p.772) would be used in practice, but they have amazing potential for minigames. I’d love some interactive panels where we help Jade grab things out of her sylladex.

Jade’s sleep schedule is so fucked. She just took a nap, but p.777 reveals that she hasn’t yet wished John a happy birthday. WV’s appearifier also proves that Jade is right back at 4:13pm John’s time. So she is going to take a SECOND nap in the next few hours. I hate taking naps and have never related to a character less. No wonder she has no time for flute practice.

I also realized from page 777 that these characters have only had four fingers this entire time. It’s not just Jade; we see it with Dave on p356-7, Rose on p.232, John as early as p.16 and even his fake arms on p.7.

> Jade: Consult purple reminder on thumb.

Cregan Stark one-shot ideas?

He had 5-7 minutes of screen time, and it was enough to remind me where my allegiances lie. Team Black, Team Green...drama on both sides. Just give me more Cregan and more Northern scenes, that's all I ask.

Having said that, if anyone gets inspiration from these ideas, feel free to write them out, just tag me! Maybe, I'll actually try to do it myself, but for now let them just sit on my profile.

Anyhow:

Cregan Stark x reader where she is a Northener but lives somewhere alone in the woods. Her home is guarded by wild animals, she has bears with which she is connected, and is what you would consider a witch. Cregan knows of her considering that he consults with her when his party goes out to hunt in order not to kill any animals whom she protects. She also comes to help when it is needed to heal some of his soldiers. And let's say that Cregan gets injured at one point and stumbles somewhere near her cabin. She finds him, and brings him in, sewing the wounds and stopping the infection from spreading. During that time, Cregan and her become closer, and he takes a liking to her, noting how she pays attention to each wound (I mean it's always a fluffy scene when one person take care of a wounded future love interest). He also sees how she cares for her animal companions, and yet she is still firm with him, not allowing any unnecessary movements until he heals. Of course the Warden of The North becomes a wee bit smitten in the end. How that develops is up to you.

2. The Northerners are preparing a feast for the Old Gods and the ending of the Winter. Large bonefires are being built, and the Common Folk are all gathering to celebrate. It is a wild affair - the Northerners are known to be wild, but during these festivities there is a sort of primal feeling to it all. People are dancing, it is as if some of them are in a trance at that very moment. It is also a festivity of fertility when young men and women jump over the fires, and come together while the Moon keeps watch over them. Cregan also attends the festivity, happy to be among his people. As he watches them dancing, he sees one person standing out. She jumps over the fire, without expecting to find a partner afterwards. She dances with the others, spinning around, happy to celebrate their Gods. I remember a line "head thrown back, throat to the stars, 'more like deer than human being.' To be absolutely free! [...] To sing, to scream, to dance barefoot in the woods in the dead of night, with no more awareness of mortality than an animal!" So that is how Cregan would see her at that moment. And of course that he inhales sharply when he sees her like that, but he looses her in the crowd of people afterwards. The girl stays in his mind, yet he believes he won't see her anymore, considering he has his own duties to fulfill. So imagine the surprise on his face, when the girl comes into the castle one day to ask of him that he controls the amount of animals his men are hunting. Winter will come again, but there needs to be some balance in nature. He agrees, yet takes the chance to ask her to join them in the hunts in order to consult him on the areas which are best to hunt and where they can gather enough food for their people (no other reason). She agrees, and from then on...it's up to you.

3. I usually imagine a Northern character (and it can be a reader or OC). But it can also be a daughter of Rhaenyra and Daemon. She was trained in fighting by her father and she has inherited her father's spirit. Cregan arrives to Dragonstone one day in order to discuss certain matters with the Queen. He is already good friends with Jace, so one day Jace shows him around the castle. They stumble upon the girl as she is training on the beach. She does not dance around, her movements are sharp and Cregan can see she would be a deadly opponent. Jace, the big brother that he is teases her, and she returns back just as well. I'm not sure where to go after this, but Cregan and the reader are introduced to one another, and the reader asks Cregan if he could teach her some of the Northern fighting strategies. When they finally do duel, neither holds back - who wins is up to you, but as with every fight scene they do get quite close to one another (heavy breathing while looking at one another of course) a few times. At the end I do imagine them ending up in a shack similar to where Rhaenyra and Daemon were in that scene. It can be after another fight, only that time it becomes something more. Cregan has to go back North, and the girl has her own duty in the war to come, but they do not forget one another.

4. Back to the North and Pagan festivities...if you have watched The Vikings, do you remember this scene?

And if Cregan were to witness it...I do not think he would be shocked, but perhaps if he were in a sort of awe? Or that he felt respect for the woman in front of him and the whole fertility ritual taking place.

I have some more ideas, which I'll type out at some point.

Medical CW

(Sorry for so much personal posting lately, it has been cathartic for me. Please feel free to scroll on by 💜)

Good news: The N.P. was great and all my worrying about not being taken seriously enough/ being brushed off/having to advocate hard for myself was for not. She listened, she sympathized, she understood very keenly where I'm at. We're pursuing multiple options at once and she's very available for any questions.

Not as good news: Endometriosis is now definitely the primary suspect and also can be incredibly hard to diagnose. I have a surgery consult scheduled for 4/16. I'm supposed to go to Japan near the end of May, so I'm a little nervous about how actual surgery (exploratory laparoscopy) is going to have to land timing wise. We're gonna try a progesterone-only BC pill in the meantime. I can't take anything with estrogen (I have migraines with auras) so that does limit the available options. And some folks with endo have multiple surgeries before they find it. If they do find and treat it, it can (and likely will) still reoccur at some point.

And the fertility implications are weighing real heavy on my mind. This is ultimately the result I wanted from the appointment today. I just wish I had a different body. And I've just been making sloppy, little mistakes at work because my mind is just elsewhere and I wanna blanket burrito until life just. Works itself out. 😶

Abundance Meets Strategy: Moon in Taurus Unlocks Financial Growth (April 10th)

April 10th brings a powerhouse lineup of astrological transits that can significantly impact your business and finances.

Financial Impact:

Wealth Creation: Real estate, investments, and self-employment can yield profits.

Independence: Consider innovative approaches to resource management. Break free from conventional norms.

Discipline is Your Ally: Moon Sextile Saturn in Pisces

The Moon also forms a harmonious sextile with Saturn in Pisces, injecting a dose of discipline and responsibility into the mix. This translates to:

Smart Spending: While the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction encourages growth, Saturn’s influence ensures you manage your newfound abundance wisely.

Sticking to the Plan: The discipline of Saturn helps you stay committed to your budget and long-term financial goals, even when faced with temptations.

Building a Strong Foundation: This sextile fosters the creation of a secure financial foundation for your business or personal finances.

Balancing Stability and Empathy: Grounded Taurus meets intuitive Pisces. Use practicality to manifest spiritual ideals.

Responsibility and Compassion: You may feel a responsibility towards the collective or less fortunate.

Financial Impact:

Remember: This is a powerful day for attracting abundance and solidifying your financial future. Embrace the grounded energy of Taurus, combine it with a dash of innovative thinking, and leverage the supportive aspects to manifest your financial dreams. With a strategic approach and a dose of discipline, this can be a turning point on your path to financial security!

Even when American women good news there's a catch. Abortion is no longer illegal but North Dakota woman have to travel to Minnesota for abortion care and uf the chose to keep the pregnancy they have to keep in mind that 71.7% of counties in ND are maternal care deserts

Judge overturns North Dakota's abortion ban, citing 'a woman's fundamental right'

Burleigh County District Judge Bruce Romanick ruled that the state's abortion law violates North Dakota Constitution's due process protections. But the nearest abortion provider is in Minnesota.

Fernando Cervantes Jr. USA TODAY

A state judge overturned the North Dakota's near-total abortion ban on Thursday, making the procedure legal in the Republican-led state.

Burleigh County District Judge Bruce Romanick ruled that the abortion ban, which went into effect after Roe v. Wade was overturned, violates due process protections under North Dakota's state Constitution.

“The North Dakota Constitution guarantees each individual, including women, the fundamental right to make medical judgments affecting his or her bodily integrity, health and autonomy, in consultation with a chosen health care provider free from government interference," Romanick wrote in the ruling.

“Unborn human life, pre-viability, is not a sufficient justification to interfere with a woman’s fundamental right,” Romanick continued. “Criminalizing pre-viability abortions is not necessary to promote the State’s interests in women’s health and protecting unborn human life.”

71.7% of counties in North Dakota are considered maternity deserts, where drive times to a birthing hospital are over 30 minutes or more, the highest percentage in the continental United States

By Michael Standaert / North Dakota News Coop

September 03, 2024 at 8:00 AM

Dr. Ana Tobiasz, a maternal-fetal specialist at Sanford Health in Bismarck, said she has contemplated leaving North Dakota because of the state’s abortion ban.

The near-total ban on abortions in the state went into effect in late April 2023. It prohibits all abortions except for when the health of the mother is at risk or in cases of rape or incest, but only within the first six weeks of pregnancy.

The initial language of the law was amended to allow terminations of ectopic pregnancies, where a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus and would never lead to a birth.

The first step in the fertility consultation process is assessing your fertility health. This involves a thorough evaluation of your medical history, lifestyle factors, and any previous fertility challenges. By understanding your unique circumstances, fertility specialists can provide a comprehensive overview of your reproductive health and potential barriers to conception.

Identifying Potential Issues or Risks

During the consultation, fertility specialists may discuss & perform diagnostic tests to identify any potential fertility issues or risks. These tests can include hormone level assessments, ultrasound scans, genetic screenings, and semen analysis. By detecting any problems early on, you can explore appropriate treatment options and increase your chances of successful conception.

Tailored Advice and Treatment Options

Based on the assessment and test results, fertility specialists can offer personalized advice and treatment options. They can guide you through various fertility treatments such as timed intercourse, intrauterine insemination (IUI), or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Fertility consultation ensures that you receive expert recommendations that align with your specific needs and goals.

Emily's Letter Diary: Part 1

1st of June

I hope one day you understand why I did this. Our life together has been so full of love, yet we were missing something so important. We both wanted children so desperately, but it was tearing us apart not being able to have them. We tried everything—fertility treatments, consultations with specialists, and countless tests. Each attempt drained our savings and brought us no closer to having a child.

I’ve always dreamt of a daughter named Lily, and the ache of that dream unfulfilled has been unbearable. When we learned that our chances of conceiving naturally were practically zero, it felt like our world had crumbled. Adoption was an option, but the process was long and uncertain, and we were emotionally and financially exhausted.

7th of June

Then, I met with the people from EternaLife Solutions. They promised me something that seemed impossible. They said they could transform you into the child we’ve always wanted. They assured me it was safe, but it was experimental. Because of this, they offered the treatment for free. I know it sounds insane, and maybe it is. I signed us up without telling you. I am terrified and excited at the same time.

I told you about the holiday today. You were so excited, believing we’d won a competition. I almost told you the truth when I saw the joy in your eyes, but I couldn’t bear to. I could see how much the thought of a holiday brightened your spirits. We haven't been able to afford a real holiday in years. Our finances have been stretched thin by all the fertility treatments and doctor visits. The idea of a getaway seemed so distant, a luxury we couldn't dream of. I need you to trust me on this journey, even if you don’t understand it.

15th of June

We arrived at the resort today. It’s beautiful here, filled with families and children. You seemed so relaxed, and it felt like we were finally on the right path. The first day was perfect, just sunbathing and enjoying romantic meals together. I keep wondering if I’ve made the right decision.

You'll need pruning shears, a saw for larger branches, high-quality soil, and stakes to support your trees as they grow. Additionally, consider using ties to secure branches to the supports and mulch to retain moisture in the soil. By gathering these items ahead of time, you can streamline the espalier process.

Consider options like sturdy trellises, fences, or wires, which will allow your trees to grow horizontally and promote healthy fruit production.

Check if your local climate influences the type of support that will work best. Knowing your gardening environment will help you make informed decisions about the right support system for your espalier apple trees.Preparing the Planting Site You want to take the time to prepare your planting site properly, as this sets the foundation for your espalier apple trees' success. Choose a location with ample sunlight, access to water, and protection from harsh winds. Ensure the area is spacious enough for the tree's growth and supports the structure you plan to use for training the branches. How to Find the Perfect Spot for Your Espalier While selecting the ideal location, look for a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. This helps your apple trees thrive, producing healthy fruit and strong branches. Consider areas near a wall or fence that can provide additional warmth and stability for your trees. Factors to Consider for Soil Quality and Drainage If you want your espalier apple trees to flourish, pay attention to the soil quality and drainage. Well-draining soil is necessary to prevent waterlogged roots, which can lead to rot. Look for loamy soil with organic matter, and consider testing the pH level to make sure it's suitable for apple trees. Well-drained soil to avoid root rot pH levels between 6.0 and 7.0 Organic matter to promote healthy growth After assessing the soil, you might want to amend it with compost or organic fertilizers to enhance quality. It's also beneficial to create a raised bed if you have heavy clay soil, ensuring better drainage and root health. Consider a raised bed for better drainage Test for contaminants if planting in older gardens Regularly check moisture levels to ensure proper hydration Another important aspect is to monitor the drainage of your site. If water tends to pool after heavy rainfall, think about incorporating drainage solutions, such as French drains, or selecting a different location that promotes proper runoff and healthy root development.Planting Your Espalier Apple TreesNow that you've selected your perfect espalier apple tree varieties, it's time to get them in the ground! Planting at the right time of year, usually in early spring or fall, ensures your trees get settled before the temperature extremes of summer and winter. Make sure the location has plenty of sunlight and good drainage to set your trees up for success. How to Properly Plant Your TreesThere's a simple process for planting your espalier apple trees that will help them thrive. Start by digging a hole that's twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Place the tree in the center, making sure the graft union is above soil level, and backfill gently, ensuring no air pockets remain. Water thoroughly after planting to help establish roots. Tips for Spacing and OrientationYour trees need room to grow, so spacing is important. Here are a few tips to consider when planting: Space trees about 6 to 8 feet apart for proper air circulation. Orient your trees to face the sun for optimal light exposure.

Avoid placing them near large trees or structures that block sunlight. Knowing how to properly space your trees will help them grow healthier and produce more fruit. Tips for spacing and orientation extend beyond just how far apart you plant your trees. Consistent spacing will allow light to reach all parts of your espalier, encouraging balanced growth. Consider the mature height and spread of each variety when planning, as this can affect their performance in your garden. It's helpful to use stakes or strings to mark your desired spacing before digging. Here are some quick notes: Consider planting on a south-facing wall for warmth. Ensure your trees are accessible for maintenance and harvesting. Take into account the prevailing wind direction to protect fragile branches. Knowing the right techniques will lead to a thriving espalier apple garden.Training and Pruning Techniques Despite the initial effort, training and pruning your espalier apple trees will reward you with delightful fruits and a stunning garden feature. This process promotes healthy growth and ensures the tree maintains its desired shape. Regular pruning will help direct the tree's energy toward producing fruit, while training the branches will create an attractive framework that maximizes sunlight exposure. How to Train Your Trees for an Espalier Shape Espalier is about guiding your apple trees to grow flat against a trellis or wall. To start, choose a young tree and secure its main stem upright. As the tree matures, gently tie the lateral branches to the framework you've established, pruning excess growth to promote a balanced shape. Regularly check your ties to prevent damage, and keep adjusting as the tree expands. Factors to Keep in Mind When Pruning You should consider several factors when pruning your espalier apple trees to ensure they thrive. Some key aspects include the tree's age, the season, your pruning technique, and your overall goals for the tree. Understanding these elements can drastically affect the health of your trees and the quality of your fruit. Age of the tree influences how much and when to prune. Seasons matter; late winter and early spring are ideal for most pruning activities. Technique is important; always use clean, sharp tools to make precise cuts. This awareness will help you maintain healthy growth and productive branches. With proper attention to these factors, you'll be better equipped to ensure your espalier apple trees flourish. Take note of specific varieties, as some may require unique care. Pay attention to any signs of disease or overcrowding while pruning to promote airflow and light within the tree. Regularly assess your espalier's shape and adjust your pruning techniques as needed. Check for any dead or diseased branches that need removal. Look for branches growing inward or crossing each other; remove these to enhance structure. Leave enough material on the tree to stimulate fruit production. This thoughtful approach will enrich your gardening experience and elevate your espalier apple trees' performance.Watering and Nutrient Needs To ensure your espalier apple trees thrive, you must establish a proper watering routine and provide the right nutrients. Adequate moisture is important for healthy growth, especially during the flowering and fruiting stages. Be attentive to weather conditions and soil moisture levels, adjusting your watering accordingly to keep the roots hydrated without over-saturating them. How to Establish a Watering Routine There's no one-size-fits-all approach to watering, as it depends on your local climate and soil conditions. Start by checking the top inch of soil; if it's dry, it's time to water. Aim for deep, infrequent watering to encourage root growth, ideally providing 1-2 inches of water weekly during dry spells. Tips for Fertilizing Your Espalier Trees Now that you have your watering routine down, let's talk about fertilizing your espalier trees to maximize their potential.

Using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer tailored for fruit trees can support healthy growth and fruit production. When fertilizing, consider these tips: Apply fertilizer in early spring before the growth season starts. Use a soil test to determine specific nutrient needs. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm your trees. This approach will not only improve fruit quality but also sustain the health of your trees year after year. Nutrient management is vital for the productive growth of your espalier apple trees. Opt for organic options like compost or well-rotted manure, which enrich the soil naturally. A balanced blend of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium will help your trees flourish. Consider these additional tips: Side-dress with compost mid-summer for an extra nutrient boost. Monitor your trees for signs of nutrient deficiencies or excesses. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. This ensures your trees remain healthy and fruitful throughout the growing season.Conclusion Summing up, growing espalier apple trees can be a rewarding journey that brings both beauty and delicious fruit to your garden. By selecting the right tree varieties, training them properly, and maintaining consistent care, you can create a stunning feature that enhances your outdoor space. Enjoy the process of shaping your trees, and soon you'll be harvesting your very own apples while relishing the satisfaction of your hard work.

Do you have any advice for people trying to research historical cultures? I don't feel right consulting ONLY popular sources (Wikipedia, etc.) but it feels like all the good academic research is behind paywalls :((

I will be honest, most of the knowledge or fun facts about historical cultures comes from reading books -- I know libraries aren't accessible to everyone but finding a spot in the stacks and flipping through whatever you can get your hands on is probably the best thing I can tell you. My own area of focus academically and personally has been Southwest Asia, mostly Palestine and the rest of the Fertile Crescent, alongside Ireland and some various western European knowledge with some bits on the Papacy and Christianity sprinkled in. I can't give too many recommendations especially outside of those areas, unfortunately.

If you are enrolled in a University in the United States I'm pretty sure you can get a free JSTOR license to access some of the paywalled research you mentioned, which can be handy! And I will be honest, Wikipedia is fine, as long as its just where you're starting. While the details can be skewed on Wikis, the sources they cite are your best bet on where to start. On a hobbyist level, the YouTube channel Minimuniteman has some really great videos and shorts. He's recommended another channel, Stefan Milo, who I have yet to check out but seems pretty great as well.

I'm sorry I couldn't give more concrete answers that weren't so exclusive to USAmerican college students, but I wish you the best of luck in your research!

To you "lil bros" (mostly age here but sometimes experience) out there wading into the waters of becoming my lil sister..... I'm here to chat about stuff around misgendering/detrans kink/IRL if you want or need to. This includes support, advice, "brain picking", and horny chat. I've said that some of what I post is real/true/do, done it and that some are purely just fantasy for me. I, by choice, took steps from the detrans kink to doing so IRL. At any time I could stop and return to my life as a trans man or continue on reversing what I've done. I wavered early on but found a few men that helped me out. The one that did most of the work is the man who gets me on my fertile days. I'm not super high femme so those tips would be better from someone that knows what they are doing. (Just because *I chose freely* to take IRL steps, that doesn't mean you should feel any sort of pressure to do so, that anyone's path they walk is/isn't valid as I want this for me and am behind what anyone CHOOSES for themselves.)

Remember to make safe and sane decisions. It might be tricky or tough but make sure to consult a medical/mental health provider if you want to or plan to come off of something (transition related). Don't let anyone pressure you into this kink. These heavy hitter kinks can take a toll and you need to be ready for it.
