Does IVF Cause Cancer? Do IVF Drugs Cause Cancer Risk?
The relationship between IVF and cancer risk is an evolving field of research. While some studies suggest a potential link, the overall evidence does not support a definitive association. The risks associated with IVF are generally low, and many women who undergo IVF go on to have healthy pregnancies and children.
For those considering IVF, it is crucial to consult with healthcare professionals for personalized advice based on the most current research and individual health factors. At Vardaan Medical Center, a leading IVF center in Jalandhar, over 30,000 couples have successfully achieved parenthood. For expert guidance on fertility treatments, including IVF, Dr. Vareesh is recognized as a leading specialist in infertility treatment in Amritsar and Jalandhar.
With proper medical supervision, IVF remains a safe and effective treatment for infertility, offering many couples the chance to conceive and enjoy healthy pregnancies and children. Staying informed and working closely with healthcare providers can help ensure a successful IVF journey and a positive outcome.

Y'know Scully needed to be pregnant during season 8 or she would have offed herself the second Mulder was dead and buried. Just leave the grave open, Skinner, she'll jump right after him and call it a day—same thing with their roles reversed.
There's only so much she can take, and finding Mulder dead in that field without a pregnancy giving her a reason to keep living would have been too much by a mile. She would have suffocated on the emptiness he left behind.
Even in canon, Skinner and her mom must have had one hell of a time taking care of her after the funeral 'cause i don't think Scully was particularly eager to go through her daily routines except to avoid not perishing on the spot.
While they were still searching for him, she was visibly numb to the world and lost the spark that had survived all the way through their numerous kidnappings, the cancer arc, Emily, Antarctica, weird brain diseases and stranded alien spaceships, and failed IVF.
No Mulder, no faith, no life. For them, it really is that simple.
And the thing is that we get used to seeing her like that! We know something is wrong, we know what is wrong—what is missing—but it only really hits you how much of a walking corpse she was once Mulder is breathing again.
Before his return, she wears exclusively dark, muted colours and high-collared shirts; a lot of the time, she's completely drowning in her black coat. Her cross necklace is invisible and hidden away, she solves cases and does her job, sure, yet there's no actual joy or excitement, no scientific wonder.
Without mulder, the x files are reduced to simply that: files. There's nothing to fight for without him.
This is the only Scully Doggett (and Reyes) get to know, their understanding of her and Mulder's relationship is based on rumours and stories, and what little they can extricate from Scully herself.
Then they find him, they bury him, they bring him back to life, and the SECOND she feels and sees him breathing, his heart beating, that spark roars back to life. There's more determination and liveliness in her eyes during this one conversation with Doggett than when some fucking cult whackos shove a worm up her spine and try to make her their worm god carrier.
But no matter what Mulder's chances are, the choice not to open up that grave was wrong.
You could have dropped her in front of his grave with nothing but her bare hands and a mission, and she would have dug him up and wished him back to the world of the living all by herself.
They're irrevocably bound together, they need each other not just to survive but to LIVE period, and god help anyone who comes between them.

I have bounced around a lot of theories as to when Mulder and Scully started sleeping together, and my latest is that they have been casually sleeping together from very early on. Maybe casually isn't quite the right word, but I think some desperate fucking occurred during the cancer arc which was of course never mentioned again, and at various other emotionally stressful times they ended up in bed together but then act like it never happened because they can just do that.
Despite the multiple times they have slept together, the IVF thing is still awkward and adorable becuase it still truly has the energy of Scully asking a coworker to be the father of her child even though they have been unofficially married for years.
And that's why their kiss in millenium is so so significant. The half kiss in Triangle and the almost kiss in FtF both happened during high stakes, emotionally wrought moments. The new years eve kiss was not that. There was nothing urgent happening and their stress levels were fairly normal for once so that kiss is them finally accepting that they are in fact deeply in love and any and all sex that happened after that was what caused all of the silly flirty happy-go-lucky moments in S7.
Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk i have so many thoughts about this

That's their closing message.
Are you going to vote for a woman whose laugh they don't like? Or are you going to vote for a guy
who fomented a violent coup attempt after a months long campaign to overturn the 2020 election
undercut the nation's response to a deadly pandemic that spiraled out of control because he tried to cover it up,
lied about its severity,
promoted sham treatments for it,
said we could cure it by injecting disinfectant and shining powerful lights inside the body
and became the first president since Herbert Hoover to oversee a net job loss.
Couldn't figure out how to close an umbrella,
cosplayed as a sanitation worker, even though he almost fell while getting into the truck
and pretended to work at McDonald's, even though he couldn't remember what the fryer was called.
Laughed about firing striking workers with the richest man alive,
bragged about refusing to pay overtime
and said I don't want a poor person running the economy.
Oversaw an increase in corporate profits while manufacturing jobs declined,
presided over an unprecedented spike in crime
while home prices rose by 30%,
the national debt rose by $8 trillion
and the number of Americans without health insurance rose by 3 million.
Tried to rip healthcare away from over 20 million Americans,
but reassured everyone by saying he had concepts of a plan,
told a story about the size of a dead golfer's penis,
regaled Boy Scouts with stories of sexy yacht parties,
humped the American flag not once but multiple times,
told women he would protect them whether they liked it or not,
and would put a man who was investigated for cutting the head off a whale with a chainsaw in charge of vaccines and women's health,
insulted service members,
feuded with Gold Star families
and violated federal law by staging a campaign event at a hallowed military cemetery.
Doctored a weather map with a Sharpie to lie about the path of a hurricane,
threw paper towels at hurricane victims,
hosted a speaker at a rally who called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage,
claimed windmills cause cancer and kill whales,
said you have to flush toilets 15 times.
Called Hannibal Lecter a lovely man,
his National Security Adviser called him a dope,
his Secretary of State called him a moron,
his Chief of Staff called him an idiot and a fascist who said nice things about Hitler and Hitler's generals.
He suggested shooting protesters in the legs to his Secretary of Defense.
He reportedly suggested executing rivals and staffers for leaking information.
The former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff called him a fascist to the core.
He took millions from foreign officials,
including a possible $10 million bribe from Egypt.
His lawyers gave a press conference at a landscaping company.
He lost the popular vote twice,
got impeached twice,
got indicted four times
and was found guilty of 34 felony counts for falsifying business records to pay hush money to a porn star.
He asked a crowd whether they'd rather be electrocuted or eaten by a shark,
he possibly farted and definitely fell asleep in court.
Bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade,
called himself the father of IVF while admitting he didn't know what IVF was,
called the CEO of Apple Tim Apple,
misspelled his wife's name
and his own name,
said Nikki Haley was the Speaker of the House on January 6th.
Claimed the price of bacon goes up because the wind doesn't blow.
Got on Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe,
became the first president in history to stare directly at an eclipse,
melted down in a presidential debate
where he claimed migrants were eating dogs,
spread lies about the federal government's response to a hurricane that caused FEMA workers to relocate due to threats.
Dances like he's punching a ghost,
held a hate-filled rally at Madison Square Garden,
stole classified documents,
obstructed attempts to get them back,
called climate change a hoax,
proposed tariffs that economists say would increase prices and crater the economy,
halted an equal pay rule for women,
curtailed access to birth control,
picked a running mate who mocked childless cat ladies
and creeped out everyone when he tried to order donuts
and was accused of having sex with a couch,
which he did not do even though he might have.
But he didn't,
but maybe he did.
But he definitely did not. [shrugs]
Said Kamala Harris happened to turn Black,
claimed his crowd on January 6th was bigger than Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream speech,
was banned from doing business in the state of New York for three years,
just recently posed for the single worst photo of any human being that has ever been taken on the face of the fucking planet.
So, you know, it's a toss up.

A Roundup of the Kate Conspiracy Theories from Twitter
So you don't have to go down the rabbit hole. Some of them are dark; I'll put those at the end below the cut so anyone who wants to scroll away can scroll away.
(My favorites in bold)
She had a BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift).
She's Banksy.
Botched cosmetic procedure, needed urgent fixing.
William cheated with Rose again and she left him, taking the kids with her.
Hysterectomy + tummy tuck = botched.
Bad haircut/dye job.
Kept a pregnancy secret, delivered by c-section.
Diana's revenge
William lost his temper and beat her so badly that they're keeping her hidden till the bruises/broken bones are healed.
William kicked her out because he doesn't want her to be Queen.
Divorce of the Wales Part Two because William cheated
Bottom surgery
Kate grew a conscience so they had to kill her and are now replacing her brain with AI.
Shelly Miscavige'd
She abandoned and fled to a tropical beach.
She quit the royal family and is touring Britain in a converted transit van, selling dreamcatchers made from her own hair on Etsy to make ends meet.
Kate donated a kidney to Charles in return for becoming Queen soon.
Boob job
She went through a cosmic wormhole and left the Milky Way Galaxy.
Female 007
She's the one with cancer, Charles is faking it so everyone leaves her alone.
Took the kids and moved to Scotland
Growing out bad bangs
Meghan's karmic revenge
They're building a robot clone of her so she doesn't have to work anymore.
Trying to reach the end of YouTube shorts
Coma from botched surgery
The press knows but are under a gag order/injunction and can't report
She was never in the hospital.
William threw something at her, it hit her in the face, needs corrective surgery
Complications from pregnancy and on bed rest
Cholecystectomy/gall bladder surgery
Spontaneously combusted
Tragic accident a la Diana, better cover-up this time.
Charles actually died, it's just an actor walking around until the Waleses are ready to take the throne officially.
Botched BBL using her own stomach fat.
Rehab for alcoholism
Being reprogrammed to accept mistresses
She's playing Celebrity Big Brother
IVF transfer and first trimester HG recovery
Banished/handled by Camilla
Facelift
Bad botox/filler, waiting for it to dissolve
Put out to pasture by the royal family because she's finished having children.
Abducted by aliens
William didn't want to start his reign married to someone he hated, so he left her and is forcing a divorce.
She ran away to Italy
Argument over where George would go to school, William made it physical, she tried to leave
She's in the Princess Protection Program
At Chili's chugging margaritas
Binged too much at Christmas, now trying to lose weight
She wandered off during the Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience and is stuck to the ceiling after drinking the fizzy lifting drink and they can't get her down.
Smuggled to America
Mental breakdown from William's cheating
Inpatient treatment for eating disorder
Complicated miscarriage
CPTSD breakdown (complex post-traumatic stress)
All the people that Twitter suggested we need to call to investigate Kate's whereabouts:
Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch edition)
Scully and Mulder (X Files)
Captain Olivia Benson (L&O:SVU)
Charlie from It's Always Sunny
Nanny Jo Frost
Steve and Blue (Blue's Clues)
Sergent Catherine Cawood (Happy Valley)
Rustin Chole (Matthew McConaughey from True Detective)
Harriet the Spy
Luther (Idris Elba edition)
Trevor Rainbolt
Jaz Singh (British Traitors edition)
One final reminder: The really dark theories about Kate are below the cut here.
William went into a drunk alcoholic rage and killed her.
Staph infection/sepsis from the trampoline injury that caused paralysis/amputation
Family annihilation by William
Severely injured in shooting accident at Sandringham shortly after Christmas when an ambulance was rushed to hospital from the royal estate.
Suicide attempt and mental health treatment
William beat her into a coma

I’ve been thinking about a lot recent that scene with young Scully and the little rabbit in the box, and how much I think it’s a defining moment for her. I think that must’ve been the moment she decided on some level to become a doctor — that desire to fix things, the demonstration of her compassion that we see so frequently in adult Scully as a little girl who wants to put a rabbit that she loves in a box for safekeeping. I also think quite frequently of how this really defines her relationship with Bill. It always seems to me that she’s trying to shield the knowledge of what she loves from her family (specifically Bill) because they don’t understand, and that knowledge may cause harm, to them or to their relationships or to her. There’s something about sequestering a desire until it’s realized that I can’t quite get at here… but it makes absolute sense to me that she clams up whenever Bill tries to confront her. For example, if she hadn’t told her family that she was considering joining the FBI until she was already enrolled in the academy I would have believed that 100%. That’s Scully. This scene and the one with Bill and Charlie and the snake communicate that she was always trying to keep up with them and shield herself from them and shield herself from them as well. She’s Catholic as well, so I’m sure that influences her beliefs and how she acts on desire and how she might voice it. She’s just so interesting! She’s so vehement about some things and then so quiet about others…
100% agree with everything you said here.
I really don't have anything to add, other than part of her behavior could stem from protection and another part from a fear of letting someone down (i.e. admitting to Karen Kosseff she needs Mulder's strength but doesn't want him to worry about her, letting Maggie fall apart at her bedside without betraying her own fear of dying, not telling Bill about her illness as a way to protect herself, etc.)
And I just remembered: for those whose canon extends into the IVF arc, she doesn't tell Mulder up front about her doctor's appointment until her hopes are crushed again, which then prompts Mulder to 'fess up about her ova. (Exactly like her actions in the cancer arc, where she had to have medical confirmation before calling Mulder to the hospital.)
#asks#limnsaber#I'm chewing on this topic a lot too as I go through the Scully Family In-Depth series#what are the limitations#thanks for droppin in~#always love to read a meaty little piece of meta :DDDD

in case you don’t know
the republicans in washington, who said “we must protect IVF”, failed to protect IVF. They turned down a bill that would protect IVF across the 50 states after Alabama introduced their ridiculous and scientifically incorrect bill against IVF.
IVF isn’t just for the rich white woman.
IVF is for the woman who had to have a hysterectomy at a young age because of cancer.
IVF is for the same sex couples who want to have children.
IVF is for the person with infertility, both young and old, male and female, cause infertility doesn’t just affect a certain age or gender.
IVF is for the person who can’t carry their baby to term, so someone else volunteers to do it for them.

personal post
I met a friend for lunch yesterday who I hadn't seen in maybe 7 or 8 years. We've known each other for almost 30 years at this point, but for the last decade our conversations have largely been through birthday and Christmas texts. I went to school with her from kindergarten through eighth grade, our families were close, and she was a really good friend. But we had very few things in common as we became teenagers and eventually adults. She was a cheerleader and very classically "boy crazy", while I was a HUGE fandom nerd who was too awkward and nervous to even think about dating (still am, lets be real). She eventually became a very stereotypical "sorority girl" and I became a uhhhh bigger fandom nerd. But she always appreciated me as a friend because she claimed I was the "least fake and most genuine" person in her life. I was a bridesmaid in her wedding back in 2014, and since then she moved 90 mins away while I stayed in our home town. She became a social worker for a veterans hospital and I became a video editor/animator for a health care network. Our parents have stayed friends and see each other a lot more than we do tbh, and like I said, we became "2-3 texts per year friends". None of this background info is super relevant to what I'm about to say, but whatever. I said it anyway.
So yesterday we spent about 3 hours catching up. It was nice to see her, but a bit difficult. Because everything she caught me up on was one negative thing after another, one medical issue or work stressor or aging parent issue after another. She bombarded me with details on how every week at work is worse than the next. That she can barely handle the stress. That work stress is what's caused her to fail to get pregnant for the 5 years she's been trying, and now she's at the age where a pregnancy would be geriatric. That she can't do IVF because she has a severe anesthesia phobia. That her parents are dying and her husband's parents are dying and every vacation she tries to go on gets screwed up somehow. Even the tiniest little thing like "oh let me see a picture of your cat", turned into complaining about the cat's medical problems. I know life can be VERY shitty, especially for millennials, but what she said really got to me.
I absorbed the negative vibes and responded with complaints about my life/medical issues/work/relationships/parents as well. And soon I came to the realization that there's nothing good going on in my life either. Or at least nothing she would understand. Things like "I'm replaying a game I love because I want to write fanfic" or "I'm slowly pulling together a new cosplay".... those are things that I would consider positive in my life, but they felt like they weren't worth mentioning. But you know... maybe I should have mentioned them. Because she probably went home thinking the same thing about me-- that I'm a negative person and my life is shit.
During our entire 3 hour conversation, neither of us laughed once, and that really struck me. I spiraled a bit after I went home. It made me realize I need to be more positive, because I really don't want to lose the friends I talk to and see more regularly. Obviously I can't ignore the shitty things going on in my life, but I think it's important for me to say to myself that I'm doing alright sometimes. That something made me happy or something in the future will make me happy. I can't turn into my mom who, whenever she talks to any friend or relative in her life, only talks about her medical problems or other people's medical problems.
I had a rough year, not gonna lie. I broke up with my boyfriend. Then I had the most severe mental health crisis of my life. Then I had a breast cancer scare and lumpectomy. Then Zuko got sick and I started to have burnout/depression spiral/massive uptick in anxiety. Then work got too difficult to handle. Meanwhile I've been struggling with constant exhaustion, increased body image issues, loneliness, bad social anxiety, and the process of re-evaluating my life with the "I probably have autism" lens.
But I can't let this year define me. I can't let negativity and shitty situations define me. I can't have someone I care about think about me and say to themselves "wow she is depressing and all I know about her is that her life sucks." Because at this point? All that old childhood friend and I know about each other is that our lives suck. Literally nothing else.
I need to be more positive. Seriously.

A Jewish organization that helps families have children says its clients now face a “worst-case scenario” after the Alabama Supreme Court classified frozen embryos as unborn children.
The Jewish Fertility Foundation is funding out-of-state treatments for some Alabama clients after the ruling last month largely halted in-vitro fertilization, or IVF, treatments in the state, as clinics could face prosecution should embryos be destroyed or otherwise become unviable over the course of the procedure.
The ruling is a result of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson decision, which removed federal abortion protections and allowed states to define when life legally begins. The Alabama ruling has caused national controversy, as well as criticism from advocates of abortion rights.
Women and couples who face difficulty conceiving often turn to IVF, which creates embryos outside the womb and allows them to be screened for genetic diseases before they are transferred to the uterus. That has made the process an attractive option for Jewish couples who have a higher propensity to carry genetic diseases or genes that increase the risk of cancer, in addition to Jewish couples with other fertility challenges.
Now, the Jewish Fertility Foundation, which provides infertility education, grants, and emotional support to families dealing with infertility, says some of its Alabama clients are facing wrenching dilemmas. The foundation has about 50 clients in Birmingham in any given year, and they now must overcome additional hurdles to have children, such as traveling out of state for their treatments, which adds extra expenses.
“This was kind of the worst-case scenario post-Dobbs. And the truth is, is that we didn’t see it coming as quickly as it did,” Elana Frank, CEO and founder of the foundation, told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency. In 2022, the group did say it feared that IVF treatments could be endangered by the Dobbs decision.
Frank told JTA after the February court ruling that she hoped to see Alabama’s legislature quickly address the issue in favor of her clients. The state now appears poised to enact legislation shielding patients and providers from prosecution — but there’s a risk that courts could strike the new law down, adding to a roller coaster ride for families that can interrupt the IVF process, which must be carried out according to a precise timeline.
Still, Frank said she was hopeful, noting, “There’s a potential that the clinics will reopen.”
In the meantime, the foundation is funding IVF treatment in Atlanta for at least one woman who had been receiving treatment at the University of Alabama, Birmingham and whose treatments are not covered out of state, said Sarah Shah, the foundation’s director of operations.
Some of that funding is coming from the National Council of Jewish Women, which recently provided a $15,000 emergency grant to support the financial needs of the Jewish Fertility Foundation’s Alabama clients.
That $15,000 is the first grant provided by NCJW from its post-Dobbs Jewish Fund for Abortion Access, which in the past year expanded its aims to include funds for IVF and birth control. It previously funded travel and abortion care for individuals.
“We saw the indication that IVF and birth control would be next,” NCJW president Sheila Katz told JTA. “And so part of the emergency plan, we said if and, sadly, when these things happened, we would have dollars stored to be able to make emergency grants to help families right away.”
Katz added, “We’re being inundated with questions from people who want to know what they can do to protect themselves, protect their embryos, protect their hopes of having a family.”
The Jewish Fertility Foundation, too, is fielding questions, and hosted an Instagram Live session on Feb. 21, soon after the ruling, to address them. For some attendees, the situation came with an echo of another crisis facing Jewish families right now.
One viewer said, “It feels like my embryos are being held hostage.”

Life update
TL;DR - currently still pregnant at 21 weeks, baby is currently ok.
but spent the last 3 days in hospital, getting surgery to try and stop baby coming dangerously early. now back to being WORRIED ALL THE TIME.
if you want to read about that, i've written a post just to get it all out. it's quite bleak, even though we are hoping for the best.
triggers in the below: pregnancy, miscarriage, other death
so yes! it's been a weird week.
started really well - i started taking liquid iron and felt GREAT, shockingly good to the extent that i assumed it was a placebo effect and not actually my body. this is not relevant to the rest of the story, just that i was feeling really confident, not tired for the first time in ages, having a good time.
wednesday - i got a text from the NHS saying i had an appointment the next day. again, so confident was i feeling about pregnancy that my reaction was to be pissed off. no i didn't have an appointment, this was my week of no appointments!!! i was going to go into work for one of my mandatory two days in the office, wtf.
a physical letter arrived at my house a few hours after this and confirmed that i did indeed have an appointment i'd never heard of. the only information about what it was were the words 'obstetrics f/up.' eventually i realised f/up meant 'follow up', rather than 'fuck up', but i was still pretty much in the dark about what it would be.
but i went along anyway, rather than cancelling in a fit of pique because i HAPPENED to have the lunchtime of the next day free. i did not go into work.
the appointment turned out to be .... a scan, performed by a doctor rather than the normal sonographer. i actually had been told that they would try and book something like this at my.... obstetrics appointment, hence the name. the reason for booking in this appointment was that every time i go for a scan, baby is not willing to move around so it has been hard to get all the views that are necessary. and also i've had IVF.
again, i thought - this is probably a waste of time. i'm a low risk patient! i just have IVF because i'm queer, i'm actually dead good at pregnancy. but hey ho.
and indeed, first time doctor scanned me, baby refused to move. went outside, drank some water, she scanned someone else, i went back - they scanned me again. declared baby is fine! doesn't even have a short leg like we were worried about before, brill. but...
i seem to have a short cervix. that could cause early delivery. maybe we should scan me the other way to confirm. but she has to scan someone else first.
this is - as you may guess - where the story gets bad. although i didn't guess that yet. i thought - early delivery? no problem. you mean, like 2 weeks or something, cool. i've already booked my maternity leave to start 2 weeks early.
NO. it means - like, any time from now. even though baby will literally die if born now.
scan confirms that cervix is 1mm, instead of the 25mm+ that is usually no cause to worry.
doctor says - you need to go to labour ward now and probably get surgery, and stay over night.
i'm still living in cloud cuckoo land at this point, so my brain is like - stay over night? but i have one-time only dinner plans at fortnum and mason tonight (a true story, a gift from my partner's rich eccentric mother).
we go over to the labour ward - at which point, my brain starts to point out that this is not good. we're put in a birthing suite to wait for someone to come and talk to us. usually, i would be texting my friend who is also a resident of the same town and due to have her baby 2 weeks before me (OR MAYBE NOT) but i guess this is where it hits me that i might never get to the bit where we are in the birthing suite.
basically from this point onwards, i cried at least several times per day until saturday. midwives kept trying to comfort me. the next doctor they brought to talk to me and my partner (fortunately with me) basically acted like he was telling me i had terminal cancer (i do not have terminal cancer). he wanted me to know that the baby might still die even if we do the surgery, and also that doing the surgery might also break my waters, and then they'd recommend terminating as i'm only 21 weeks pregnant, and babies usually don't survive earlier than 24 weeks. even then - that's very premature.
there was some suggestion they might be able to do the surgery THAT DAY, but it didn't work out. so we were transferred to the antenatal ward, given a (different) private room, and my partner was sent home to get my stuff. she came back and stayed the night in the single bed - not as fun as the fanfic makes it look! particularly because even though we were off the main ward, we could still hear.... people in labour. and babies - like the one we might not have - crying. and beeping - lots of beepings.
also - one of my friends came to pick up my car, which i'd left on the street back when i thought that the appointment would be maximum 2 hours. i was vvv upset about the baby, but my brain wouldn't shut up about the car either. WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO THE CAR. until it was gone, and then it was 100% baby panic.
monitoring of blood pressure and temperature too, so - should you get to sleep, you will definitely be woken at 2am and 6am. amazing.
cut to the next day - no food, little water. a bunch of drugs, no surgery until 3.30. surgery includes being completely numb from waist down, which is great (genuinely). as well as pain relief, this really decreases the humiliation of being in a room with 10 people all looking up your hospital gown while you can't control your bodily functions.
the surgeon had come in for like 5 minutes earlier and this is not an exaggeration of our conversation:
him: you're having this surgery, it had a 50% chance of failing to get you to full term even if we do put the stitch in successfully, sign this consent form please no offence lovely NHS, genuinely amazing throughout this whole situation, but this is the first time anyone had said 50% chance of failure.
me: [signs form, since has no choice really] him: any questions? me: er... him: [literally already out the door, genuinely did not wait for an answer] midwife [still there, apologetic] as you can see, they're very busy. if you have questions, best to write them down and just say them loudly when you get the chance
everyone else in the theatre was super nice. although also kept asking me about the baby i was convinced i might lose within the surgery (do you know the gender? what are you going to call him?). surgery went ok. very quick. did NOT lose the baby ... at that point. but couldn't stop crying as soon as i got out.
still numb for 6 hours. catheter horrible. spent 2 hours in the recovery ward - still no food allowed - under a weird inflatable blanket. wheeled back to the antenatal ward.
this time, we were on the main ward - although it was pretty quiet because they don't schedule people in for stuff on saturdays. just two women there - both waiting for emergency c-section the next day.
while i was glad neither were in labour, it was still super awkward and upsetting to be on the ward with them. sound carried really well, so we heard all their consultations, including a bit where one of them had to describe her previous history of pregnancy, which included having twins - one of whom DIED. omg. cue - another crying fit for self.
seriously - my overall feeling coming out of this was how amazing the NHS is, how amazing it was that the doctor caught my cervix the day before it opened fully during a random scan for something else (because my cervix was fully open during the surgery, 24 hours after the scan. vv bad) the midwives were so lovely, the nurses were so lovely. they gave me loads of great drugs too (progesterone - my old friend from IVF), which will hopefully keep contractions away, in addition to the stitch.
BUT.... it was pretty hellish to be incredibly emotional and stuck in hospital listening to this stuff for 2 days, unable to sleep. very very likely some of the worst days of my life so far.
i'm back home, as of yesterday, which is amazing. slept a full night, and i'm 2 days out of surgery. the symptoms of the surgery failing are all things that i am feeling right now - like.... pain. contractions (is this a contraction, or is this the baby moving??) and maybe your waters breaking, which could happen slowly so how do you know it's not happening RIGHT NOW.
so - basically, i am still not in a good place emotionally, even though we haven't lost the baby yet. i realised that as well as just.... the very fact of the possible death of a baby we have given a name to (we couldn't use the name again for another baby, could we?) ... i think i'm also in shock for the idea of the life i thought i was going to have this year. i've booked my maternity leave, i was getting into baby mode - starting to largely only want to read baby books, etc. thinking about buying the wrap-top from the advert i watch every time i go into hospital where you can put your baby inside the top and have them skin-to-skin.
and the idea of baby dying and then having to go back to work, my friend having her baby 2 weeks ahead of when i should have had mine... it's just awful. i want the baby, i want to go on maternity leave.
baby coming early but still within a viable window (so - hold on another 3+ weeks) doesn't worry me so much, though is worrying my partner in terms of possible developmental issues of pre-term children. i probably just can't conceptualise this, because my brain is thinking 'well, at least there would be a baby.'
so - that's where we are. doctors and internet both agree bedrest isn't really necessary or helpful, but i have my drugs + antibiotics. 22 weeks is on tuesday. 24 weeks (so viable but very premature baby) - 7th february.
if we make it through february, we'll be in the third trimester, and start to get some good rates of survival if baby comes early.
me to baby (proposed middle name: alexander) every few hours:
heard lots of stories of things being ok and people getting to full term (or close enough) from friends and midwives, one of the trainees literally said this had happened to her. this partly reassures me, and also makes me think - surely that means there must be a need for people to be in the BAD 60-40% to make up the statistics, and that could be me. (i know that's not how statistics works, it's how my brain works).
final doctor - a completely different person to any of the others in this story - told me i likely have a good chance because i have no history of cervical damage, to the extent that they aren't sure why this has happened to me. but the internet told me that it's less likely to be ok if the cervix opened (which mine did), so maybe.......
and maybe these pains are bad pains, rather than i was cut open pains. and maybe my water is breaking.........
in conclusion - i'll be a basketcase for the next few weeks, probably. and then possibly very sad. or possibly it will be some form of all right.
no need to respond to this post, if you got this far! in fact, i might prefer it - i turned off comments on my (much shorter) version of this on twitter as it's all too upsetting. but wanted to let people know, and also record for posterity while i felt a bit more with it/less sad.
likes are ok, even though obviously there's not much to like - except the NHS!! and my friend who took my car home.
this post is also why i probably won't do the 15 questions post that's going around, because it talks about 'when did you last cry' and children, even though we all know the answers to that now. i just don't want this shit in a normal happy meme post.
anyway - hope everyone else is having a nice weekend, and making and/or consuming good art <3

Demystifying Female Infertility: Exploring 5 Potential Causes
Female infertility is a complex condition that affects a significant number of women around the world. The inability to conceive can be emotionally challenging and often prompts a search for answers. While infertility can have various underlying causes, this article aims to shed light on five potential factors that may contribute to female infertility. By understanding these causes, individuals and healthcare professionals can work together to explore appropriate interventions and treatment options.
Hormonal Imbalances: One of the common causes of female infertility is hormonal imbalances. Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) play vital roles in regulating the menstrual cycle and promoting ovulation. Any disruption in the delicate balance of these hormones can lead to irregular or absent ovulation, making it difficult for women to conceive.
Structural Abnormalities: Structural abnormalities within the reproductive system can also contribute to female infertility. Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, uterine fibroids, or blocked fallopian tubes can hinder the fertilization process or implantation of a fertilized egg. These conditions may require medical intervention or surgical procedures to restore fertility.
Age-related Factors: Advancing age is a significant factor that impacts female fertility. As women age, the quantity and quality of their eggs decline. The chances of chromosomal abnormalities and miscarriages increase, making it more challenging to conceive naturally. It is important for women to be aware of their reproductive timeline and seek assistance from healthcare professionals if they face difficulties in conceiving as they get older.
Lifestyle Factors: Certain lifestyle factors can contribute to female infertility. Obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, drug abuse, and high levels of stress can all have adverse effects on reproductive health. These factors can disrupt hormonal balance, interfere with ovulation, and affect the overall fertility of women. Adopting a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management techniques can positively impact fertility.
Medical Conditions and Treatments: Certain medical conditions and treatments can also cause infertility in females. Conditions such as thyroid disorders, autoimmune diseases, diabetes, and cancer can affect fertility. Additionally, treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy can damage the reproductive organs and impair fertility. It is crucial for women with these conditions to consult with their healthcare providers to explore fertility preservation options before undergoing such treatments.
Conclusion: Understanding the potential causes of female infertility is crucial for women and healthcare professionals alike. By identifying these factors, individuals can take proactive steps to address and manage their reproductive health. It is important to remember that each case of infertility is unique, and a comprehensive evaluation by a healthcare professional is essential to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan. With advancements in medical science and fertility treatments, many individuals can still achieve their dream of starting a family despite facing infertility challenges.

Can Endometriosis Cause Ovarian Cancer? Understanding the Connection
Endometriosis is a condition that affects millions of women worldwide, leading to pain, discomfort, and, in some cases, fertility challenges. One common concern is whether this condition could develop into something more serious, like ovarian cancer. Although endometriosis and ovarian cancer are different conditions, research suggests there may be a connection between them. In this blog post, a leading infertility specialist at Miracles Fertility & IVF Clinic in Gurgaon sheds light on the common question of whether endometriosis can cause ovarian cancer and the potential link between the two conditions, helping to answer some of the most important questions women have.
What Is Endometriosis?
Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the uterine lining (endometrium) grows outside the uterus, usually on the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or other pelvic organs. This tissue thickens and bleeds with each menstrual cycle, but the trapped blood has no exit, leading to inflammation, pain, and scar tissue. Common signs include pelvic pain, painful periods, heavy bleeding, pain during intercourse or bowel movements, and fertility issues.
What Is Ovarian Cancer?
Ovarian cancer begins in the ovaries, where eggs and reproductive hormones are produced. Ovarian cancer is usually called a "silent killer" due to slight symptoms, it is usually detected in later stages. Common signs include bloating, pelvic pain, feeling full quickly, and frequent urination.
Is There any Link Between Endometriosis and Ovarian Cancer?
Here’s the key question: Can endometriosis cause ovarian cancer? The answer is not straightforward. In some cases, women with endometriosis do not develop ovarian cancer. However, research suggests that women with ovarian endometriosis may have a slightly higher risk of developing a particular type of ovarian cancer known as endometrial ovarian cancer, and, less commonly, clear cell ovarian cancer.
While the overall risk is low, the link between the two conditions is an area of ongoing research. According to studies, women with endometriosis are about 4 times more likely to develop certain types of ovarian cancer than women without the condition. However, ovarian cancer is still rare, even among women with endometriosis.
Why Might Endometriosis Increase the Risk?
The precise reason for the possible link between endometriosis and ovarian cancer is still unclear, but several theories have been proposed:
Chronic Inflammation: Endometriosis causes chronic inflammation in the pelvic area. Long-term inflammation can cause damage to the cells, and in some cases, this cellular damage may lead to cancer.
Hormonal Factors: Endometriosis and ovarian cancer are both influenced by hormonal factors, especially estrogen. It’s possible that hormonal imbalances could contribute to the development of both conditions.
Genetic Mutations: Some research suggests that women with endometriosis may have genetic mutations that could increase their risk of developing cancer.
Scar Tissue: The scar tissue formed by endometriosis could trap cells in the pelvic area, increasing the chances of abnormal cell growth and, potentially, cancer.
What Can You Do to Protect Your Health?
If you have endometriosis, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk and stay on top of your health:
Regular Checkups: Make sure to visit your gynecologist regularly. They can monitor your symptoms, check for changes, and recommend further tests if needed.
Discuss Your Family History: If ovarian cancer runs in your family, make sure your doctor is aware of it. This can help them assess your risk and recommend additional screening or preventive measures.
Consider Hormonal Treatments: Some hormonal treatments used to manage endometriosis symptoms, like birth control pills, may lower your risk of developing ovarian cancer by reducing the number of ovulations you have over your lifetime.
Surgery: In some cases, doctors may recommend surgery to remove the endometrial tissue or even the ovaries in women at high risk of ovarian cancer. This is a more aggressive approach and is generally reserved for women with a significant family history of cancer or other risk factors.
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle: While diet and exercise alone won’t prevent cancer, leading a healthy lifestyle can improve your overall well-being and reduce your risk of many diseases. Eating a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding smoking are all steps you can take to improve your long-term health.
Conclusion:
While endometriosis and ovarian cancer are two separate conditions, there is some evidence to suggest that women with endometriosis may have a slightly higher risk of developing certain types of ovarian cancer. However, it’s important not to panic. The vast majority of women with endometriosis will not develop ovarian cancer. By staying informed, getting regular checkups, and discussing your concerns with your doctor, you can take proactive steps to protect your health.
If you have endometriosis and are worried about your risk of ovarian cancer, consult with a fertility specialist near you. They can guide you on the best ways to manage your symptoms and monitor your health for any changes. Staying informed and proactive is key to maintaining your health and well-being.

Jaipur, the Pink City, is not only known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and architectural wonders but also for its advanced healthcare services.

Whether you are dealing with a persistent urinary issue or looking for expert advice on a more complex urological condition, consulting a urologist in Jaipur can help you get the right treatment.
What is Urology?
Urology is a branch of medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases of the urinary tract in both men and women, as well as issues related to the male reproductive system.

A urologist is a specialist who deals with conditions ranging from urinary infections and kidney stones to more serious disorders like prostate cancer, infertility, and incontinence. If you are experiencing any symptoms related to these areas, visiting a urologist is often the best course of action.
Common Urological Conditions Treated by Urologists in Jaipur
1. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
UTIs are one of the most common reasons people visit a urologist. Symptoms include painful urination, frequent urge to urinate, and cloudy or foul-smelling urine. UTIs can affect both men and women but are more common in women. If left untreated, UTIs can lead to kidney infections.
2. Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form in the kidneys. They can cause severe pain in the lower back, abdomen, or sides. Urologists in Jaipur can help diagnose the size and type of kidney stones and recommend appropriate treatments, including medication, lifestyle changes, or even surgical procedures like lithotripsy.
3. Prostate Disorders
Prostate issues, including benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer, are common in older men. Urologists specialize in diagnosing these conditions through physical exams, blood tests, and imaging techniques. Early detection of prostate cancer is crucial for successful treatment outcomes.
4. Male Infertility
Male infertility can be caused by a variety of factors such as hormonal imbalances, sperm abnormalities, or blockages in the reproductive tract. A urologist in Jaipur who specializes in male reproductive health can conduct tests and offer treatments like surgery, medication, or assisted reproductive technologies like IUI or IVF.
5. Erectile Dysfunction (ED)
Erectile dysfunction is a common condition affecting many men, particularly as they age. A urologist can help determine the underlying causes, which can range from physical issues like poor blood flow to psychological factors such as stress or anxiety. Treatment may involve medication, lifestyle changes, or therapies such as penile implants or shockwave therapy.
6. Urinary Incontinence
Urinary incontinence, or the loss of bladder control, is another condition that affects many people, particularly women after childbirth or older adults. Urologists are skilled in diagnosing the causes of incontinence and recommending treatments such as pelvic floor exercises, medications, or surgical interventions.
7. Bladder and Kidney Cancer
Urologists in Jaipur are experienced in diagnosing and treating cancers of the urinary tract, including bladder and kidney cancer. Early detection plays a key role in successful treatment, which may involve surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy.

Successful Pregnancy With Fibroid: Achieving Parenthood with Careful Planning
Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus, often affecting many women during their reproductive years. While they are generally harmless, fibroids can cause complications for those trying to conceive or during pregnancy. However, achieving a successful pregnancy with fibroid is very much possible with proper medical guidance, timely intervention, and a well-structured treatment plan.
In this article, we will discuss how fibroids can affect pregnancy, ways to manage them, and the fertility treatments that can help women with fibroids achieve their dream of parenthood.
Understanding Fibroids and Their Impact on Pregnancy
Fibroids vary in size, shape, and location, and their impact on pregnancy can differ significantly. In some cases, women with fibroids may not face any difficulties with conception or carrying a pregnancy to full term. However, in other cases, fibroids may lead to complications such as:
Infertility: Fibroids can obstruct the fallopian tubes or alter the shape of the uterus, making it harder for an embryo to implant successfully.
Miscarriage: Fibroids may increase the risk of early pregnancy loss, especially if they are located within the uterine cavity.
Preterm Labor: Large fibroids may also increase the risk of premature labor due to the pressure they place on the uterus.
Abnormal Placenta Position: Fibroids can sometimes cause the placenta to implant abnormally, increasing the risk of complications like placenta previa or placental abruption.
Despite these challenges, many women with fibroids have had successful pregnancies with fibroid by following the right treatment protocols and ensuring they receive personalized care throughout their journey.
Managing Fibroids During Pregnancy
If you have fibroids and are planning to get pregnant, it’s essential to discuss your condition with a fertility specialist or an obstetrician. Early detection and management can help reduce risks and improve the chances of a healthy pregnancy. In some cases, fibroids may need to be treated before conception to prevent complications later on.
Medical and Surgical Options
If fibroids are causing infertility or complications during pregnancy, there are several medical and surgical options available:
Myomectomy: This surgery removes fibroids while preserving the uterus. It can help improve fertility and increase the chances of a successful pregnancy. However, myomectomy is typically only performed in certain cases.
Medication: In some instances, doctors may recommend medication to shrink fibroids or alleviate symptoms like heavy bleeding and pain.
Surrogacy: For some women, fibroids may prevent them from carrying a pregnancy. In these cases, gestational surrogacy may be a suitable option to achieve parenthood.
Gestational Surrogacy for Women with Fibroids
For women whose fibroids significantly affect their ability to carry a pregnancy, gestational surrogacy can offer a way to experience the joy of parenthood. In this process, another woman, known as the surrogate, carries the baby on behalf of the intended parents. The embryo is typically created through IVF (in vitro fertilization) using the egg and sperm from the intended parents or donors, ensuring that the baby is genetically related to the parents.
Gestational surrogacy is a compassionate and effective solution for women who have been diagnosed with fibroids that prevent them from carrying a pregnancy. This process allows women to experience parenthood without the risks associated with fibroids during pregnancy.
Conclusion
While fibroids can present challenges in achieving a successful pregnancy with fibroid, many women are able to conceive and carry their pregnancies to term with appropriate medical intervention and management. In cases where fibroids prevent a woman from carrying a pregnancy, gestational surrogacy offers a viable and compassionate solution. With expert care and support, women with fibroids can achieve their dreams of becoming parents.
