Fertility at Your Fingertips: A Roadmap to IVF and Male Infertility Solutions

Navigating the World of Fertility with ART Fertility Clinic

Welcome to the intricate and often perplexing realm of fertility. For many couples, the dream of conceiving a child becomes an elusive puzzle, leaving them with a sea of questions, concerns, and, occasionally, a sense of burstiness in their hopes. In this article, we'll embark on a journey to explore the signs of male infertility, its symptoms, and delve into the intricacies of IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) as a solution. We'll also address the pain factor associated with IVF, reasons for its occasional failure, and guide you to ART Fertility Clinic, a leading IVF center in India.

Signs of Male Infertility: Decoding the Clues

Is It More Than Just Bad Luck?

Male infertility can be perplexing, as it often remains hidden beneath the surface. In many cases, the symptoms aren't as conspicuous as one might think. So, what are the signs of male infertility?

Low Sperm Count: A drop in sperm count is a glaring sign. But how do you recognize it? Signs include difficulty conceiving after a year of trying, ejaculation issues, or a decreased volume of ejaculate.

Quality Matters: Burstiness in sperm quality can be just as crucial. If the sperm have an irregular shape or impaired motility, it becomes more challenging for them to reach their destination - the egg.

Sexual Dysfunction: Erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or other sexual dysfunctions can also be signs of male infertility, making it an emotional journey for couples.

Understanding Oligospermia: A Closer Look at the Symptoms

The Whispering Oligospermia

Oligospermia is a specific condition where the sperm count is too low to facilitate fertilization effectively. The signs of oligospermia often go unnoticed, creating a sense of perplexity among couples.

Sparse Ejaculate: If you notice that your ejaculate is relatively thin and the volume is significantly lower than average, it could be a sign of oligospermia.

Infrequent Ejaculation: Burstiness in the frequency of ejaculation can be indicative of this condition. If you find yourself ejaculating rarely, it might be time to consult a specialist.

Sexual Issues: Frequent erectile dysfunction or pain during ejaculation can also be associated with oligospermia, making it a hidden villain in the quest for parenthood.

IVF: The Solution to Male Infertility

The IVF Lifeline

When natural conception faces repeated failures or is seemingly impossible due to male infertility, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) often emerges as the ray of hope. But is IVF painful, and why does it sometimes fail?

Is IVF Painful?

The idea of IVF may seem daunting, but it's essential to understand that discomfort is a part of the journey, not necessarily extreme pain. IVF is a multi-step process, and each step varies in terms of discomfort. Women may experience some discomfort during egg retrieval, but it is usually managed with mild anesthesia. The overall emotional journey can be painful, yet the end result - the possibility of having a child - often makes it worth the challenges.

The Complexity of IVF Failures

IVF can be incredibly successful, but it can also lead to disappointments. Why do multiple IVF attempts sometimes fail? This is where burstiness in understanding IVF's intricate dynamics comes into play. Various factors can contribute to IVF failures, including:

Embryo Quality: The quality of the embryos used plays a significant role. Not all embryos have the same potential for success.

Maternal Age: The age of the woman undergoing IVF can affect the chances of success. Women over the age of 35 may have reduced fertility.

Lifestyle Factors: Lifestyle choices, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and obesity, can impact IVF outcomes.

Medical Conditions: Underlying medical conditions, such as PCOS or endometriosis, can complicate the IVF process.

Stress and Emotional Factors: The emotional toll of the process can sometimes interfere with its success. Reducing stress and maintaining a positive outlook can make a significant difference.

IWTV S2 Ep6 Musings: Loumand (Spoilers)

Armand stressed me TF out this episode; I can't believe they had me yelling at my favorite TVC book character this much on this dang show. But I still stand by what I said about him having good intentions--

--but by god does this man make the worst decisions for the best reasons.

FACTS, I can't stand modern art. The first vamp capitalist, faaaacts.

The first vamp pilot--Louis WANTS to fly now!? Or maybe it's just the Cloud Gift that freaks him out; a vampire taking him up without his control/consent?

I cannot BELIEVE they're banging in Armand's office right in front of that flimsy glass door--that's why the coven hated y'all. 🤦 Rubbing in their faces that Lou can do whatever--and whoever--he wants.

OF COURSE that mofo was gonna say No--DUH! Lou, Armand don't want Lestat's spawn, he wants Lestat's SEED, there's a DIFFERENCE. 😅

He. Didn't. NO. The attitude in Lou's neck rolls had me QUAKING. AMC is leaning IN to Armand withholding more than Lestat, jfc. 😬

It was NOT ok, Armand. That was your cue to be part of the family, and join Lou as he went to the IVF clinic to get his eggs fertilized with YOUR seed, MORON. 🤦 Y'all could've been the Le Russe/Romanus family! Now they'll always be Lioncourts! 😩 Alexa, play Rolling in the Deep, cuz they could've had it all! 😔🎵 🎶

☝️ SAY IT LOUDER! ☝️

Roleplay don't mean ISH outside the bedroom--just cuz Armand's a subby bottom don't mean he didn't hold ALL the power the whole time; eff what Lou said, asked or "ordered." I said back in S1: Les & Armand HUMOR Lou, and let him pretend to be in charge (X X). It's called POWER IMBALANCE.

It looks like childbirth gone wrong.

Lou going from battered wife depression in S1 to post-partum-depression in S2. 😔 So Loius tried to kill himself again? By bleeding out? Throwing up all the blood he drank from Madeleine. Dang.

What "you did to yourself" is a little inaccurate, considering it was YOUR insensitive words that triggered him and made him want to yeet himself into the sun! This is what I always mean by Armand taking advantage of Louis' agency, cuz Louis was CLEARLY not in his right mind at the time to be asking for anything THAT serious, which he NEVER would've done elsewise.

So, 3 days after Louis' failed suicide attempt, he asked for his mind to be wiped--cuz he was still TRAUMATIZED, Armand! 🤦

Lou got high as a kite (if he was ever sober in SanFran.....)

Nearly killed the first human who managed to get anywhere towards helping him process his PTSD--if not just VENT a bit; as he hadn't spoken Lestat's name in 20+ years by that point.

Vented all his resentment to Armand for being hella boring

Was triggered by Armand telling Louis Claudia never loved him, wtf

Tried to kill himself by burning himself alive in the first sunrise he'd seen since Paul's suicide

Burnt to a crisp, he has to watch Armand torture TF out of Daniel, begging for his life & powerless to do anything

Then lay there all crispetty cracketty crunchetty and hear Armand have a effing telephone call with LESTAT

He even told OIdmaniel he'd been in so much pain he blanked out

Armand said drugs did a number on Dan's mind--Louis DIED an alcoholic; he was turned while he was drunk, and I bet mental illness runs in his family, too. So what damage was done to LOUIS' mind when he was in SanFran getting stoned every night b4 you scrambled his brain, Armand?!

Daniel's mind is sharp, yes, but his body sure ain't. Armand caused Daniel's Parkinsons--if it's even really Parkinsons, and not just the consequences of 6 days of bodily & mental torture, as his arm was crushed, head bashed, nose bled, and muscles were contorted. "To protect me, from YOU, my Molloy"--we been knew. "Why did I owe YOU my shame...my one act of cowardice?" Oh, you mean selling Claudia & Louis down the effing river?!

I'd bet money that Armand was so shook seeing Louis' reaction to what he said about Claudia hating Louis, and was so terrified of being on permanent suicide watch, that he was RELIEVED to have the chance to wipe Louis' memory, and soften the blow of his own culpability in WHY Claudia died hating Louis. Cuz she was HAPPY at that cafe with y'all! What happened AFTERWARDS, Armand!?

Why would vamps cheer and drink with alcohol; y'all shoulda known something was up; with this JUDAS at the effing table.

Why tf is Armand sleeping in Claudia's coffin? I guess Loumand doesn't share Louis' the way Loustat did. But better question: Why TF are they still in that flat?! I'd've left Paris for good; that was stupid of them to stay in coven territory. But I guess we know why Armand didn't insist they leave. 😒

Louis and Madz have tension. :(

This poor boy just CANNOT help himself, LOL.

LOLOLOLOLOL! Madz is NOSEY, spill all the tea, girl, yaaas! XD (The bass in Lou's voice when he says BIIIIIG HEAD nearly put me in a stretcher--omfg it was IMPROVISED!?)

👀 Yeah, he knows, alright. Knows you'll forgive him, Lou.

Cuz he felt he had nothing left if he didn't have you.

Cuz Santiago was right:

Speak of the devil, carrying the effing burlap sacks.

I could never sit there that calm and talk about all that without lunging over and pulling every follicle out of Armand's head.

Omg it's a matinee in DAYLIGHT, it's happening right then & there. 😭☀️

[thingstrumperssay]

So in Alabama they're unwilling to allow people to get pregnant through in vitro fertilization. Y'know, that thing people usually do when they're struggling to get pregnant otherwise?

Why? I thought these people wanted people to get pregnant. Why prevent that?

Also,

Does the owner of the building where these embryos are stored get to put every single embryo down in their taxes?

Do the people who wanted to parent these embryos have to pay child support since they are legally the parents of these embryos who are now legally children?

Can the parents legally claim that the people holding their embryos are kidnappers?

Can the embryos vote and join the military if they survive being frozen for 18 years?

Do the embryos get to drink alcohol if they survive being frozen for 21 years?

Is it considered child abuse when the parents don't feed their embryos?

Can an immigrant marry an eighteen year old embryo to become a US citizen?

I have many more questions but most of them are "can they legally do x when they're old enough" and "would it be considered as child abuse if parent fails to do y because embryos can't physically do that?"

[weezly14]

so i used to use this more as a blog where i talked about my life and my feelings and there's been both a lot and nothing happening in my life lately but i sure do have feelings! so i'm gonna write it down and send vibes into the universe because why not. what else do i have to do today?

i've been a little MIA in terms of working on my fics. i've barely written. first it was a rough fucking winter; then summer kicked my ass just as bad. i hate summer.

"but why has it been rough?"

well, because i'm not fucking pregnant yet.

we've been trying for a baby (i hate this phrase) for ten months? ish? and nothing has happened. in school they made it sound like you skip protection once and you'll get knocked up; my mom got accidentally pregnant twice. and here i am, charting dates and peeing on ovulation predictor sticks and tracking symptoms and the whole nine yards, timing sex and taking fucking prenatals and vitamins and not eating sushi or steak during the two week wait and not drinking at all, and all i've gotten to show for it is my fucking period, every month like clockwork.

the studies say, it can take up to a year. yes, most couples get pregnant within six months, but sometimes it takes longer. sure, fine, whatever.

so it's been hard enough trying to get pregnant and then failing (because it does feel like failing, every time), but then two things happened in quick succession:

my best friend got pregnant, sort of accidentally;

i got sent for bloodwork and the results caused my doctor to refer me straight to a fertility clinic.

when i saw the results i cried, but i thought i was just spiraling and being over dramatic. sure, my AMH is really low, but it's technically still in range, and that's not everything, right? my other tests were mostly fine, not totally out of the normal range. then i called my doctor's office, only to be told "we're referring you to a clinic, your ob/gyn doesn't think you'll get pregnant without treatment."

it's a hell of a thing to be told while standing in the pasta aisle of a grocery store.

in the midst of being referred to the clinic, i of course googled. read articles and papers. cried to my husband, my mom, my friends. of course the clinic was booking weeks out; in three weeks i'll go for my first appointment. my mom said, well maybe now you'll get pregnant. it happens, you know - people struggle and then as soon as they get booked to see a specialist, or start IVF, they get pregnant.

my period started over the weekend. it was not a good time.

the thing about trying for a baby is that every month is the same fucking rollercoaster, only you can't get off, and despite knowing exactly how it'll go, it's still somehow traumatic every time. every cycle there's the devastation when your period starts, followed by the hopeful/planning mode of "let me now track ovulation, let's chart out when we need to have sex." then there's the actual sex - trying to still have fun with it as opposed to the clinical "literally all we need is for you to finish," though sometimes it is just the quickie before work or after dinner because it's Fertile Week and we need to optimize our chances so it doesn't matter if it's not very romantic, we can have romantic sex later. after that it's the waiting game, the two weeks of overanalyzing every ache, every twinge, of looking up expected due dates and thinking about how to announce to family and friends, of hoping and thinking that maybe you are actually pregnant - all followed by the two, three days leading up to your period where every trip to the bathroom has the potential to devastate. where every pms symptom is enough to set off a fresh round of tears until your period actually starts. i've stopped taking pregnancy tests early. the stark white negatives (or rude NO - on the digital tests) was too much for me to handle in my already hormonal, pms state.

it hasn't been a year, which makes me feel like i shouldn't be so upset already. on the other hand, my egg reserve is apparently incredibly low - that is, i'm rapidly running out of eggs, and who knows if the ones i've got are even any good. in three weeks we'll see a fertility specialist, and based on my extensive research and trolling on reddit and listening to podcasts, i'm fairly confident they're going to tell us it's IVF or bust.

because i'm running out of eggs, for reasons that might not exist, or might just be "sometimes things just suck for certain people." some people get a diagnosis of "unexplained infertility," which basically means the doctors have run every test and there's no reason you can't get pregnant. we aren't in that camp, we're likely in the "diminished ovarian reserve" camp. for reasons that are unexplained.

meanwhile, my best friend is pregnant, and i can't talk to her without crying.

we moved into a bigger house a year ago in preparation for kids. we got our finances in order, we made sure our marriage was solid, we planned - and now? we've always wanted two, maybe three. at this point i think we'll be lucky to get one. maybe i'm being pessimistic. i'm trying to be confident but also realistic. IVF doesn't work for everyone. even my clinic, which has the best numbers in the state, has a 63% success rate. sounds great, and it is - but that's 37% of couples who don't go home with a baby. nationally, the outcomes are something like 50ish% of IVF cycles will result in a live birth (they measure by both pregnancy and live birth, because even if you've managed to get pregnant, there's no guarantee you'll stay pregnant.)

today is a good day, by the way. today i can talk to my mom, i can call up our insurance, i can write this and be factual and calm and not crying. today i feel like we have a good chance, like we will end up with a take home baby. today i'm cleaning my house and looking up meal plans to increase my fertility. exercise regimens to help me get in shape to increase my fertility. tomorrow might be a bad day. bad days are when i can barely get off the couch, where i cry at the thought or mention of my fertility. where a tiktok of a dad and baby sends me spiraling. when it all feels fucking useless and unfair.

today is a good day. i don't know what tomorrow's going to be yet.

i've been isolating all summer, which isn't hard to do when most of my friends aren't local. but i find i don't want to be around anyone, really. i don't want to talk to people. i don't want to be asked how i'm doing, i don't want to be asked what's new or what i've been up to.

"i've been cleaning my house and trying to get pregnant and failing. last week i made a new recipe, and today i cried."

it's not an exciting life i'm leading these days. and anyway, no one wants to hear about fertility struggles.

it's not that i'm too stressed. i don't need to go on vacation, or get drunk and have sex, or relax and then i'll get pregnant. sure, i could use a vacation, but that's not the magic ticket. the problem isn't lack of sex. i have depression; the stress is always there, but that's why i see my therapist and my psychiatrist. that's why i take my meds and do my self-soothing shit.

i'm not pregnant because i'm just not. and hopefully the specialist will have a plan and hopefully that plan has a more than 30% chance of succeeding, and hopefully we get to bring a baby home - but today? today i'm not pregnant, and it's not a guarantee that i ever will be.

so even though today is a good day, i'm still really fucking sad.

but, you know. i'm trying to have hope.

that, too, is a cycle.

[the-unforgotten]

what im reading

book number 7 of the year is Womb City by Tlotlo Tsamaase

at the time of writing im about 30% through the book.

how I found it

good reads giveaway specifically the scifi tag. I entered back in December didn't win but the book seemed interesting enough that I put it on my notify list in libby. it just came out at the end of january

i did read the summary blurb so I did know where the story was generally headed even if I didnt fully remember that when I started reading it this week.

im doing combination ebook read and audio book listen via libby

that narrator adds so much character to the story as well as getting rid of a pronunciation barrier id have with the names and settings.

what I remembered from the blurb was that theres gonna be a murder.

story so far

so in a futuristic africa the story follows the main character nelah and her life as she navigates that pitfalls of the society she lives in. some things about this futuristic setting

ones consciousness can be swapped between physical bodies

you can have multiple lifetimes. you live out your life then at the end of it decided to do another life in another body

crime is heavily decreased by some minority report esque government and religious endeavor

bodies that have been used by criminals are reused but micro chipped which records videos the bodies surroundings as well as paralyzing the body if its in the process of committing crime.

nelah inhabits one of these microchipped bodies and has since about 18.

she is now married and has a architectural firm and a police husband. they want kids but come to find out this body is also infertile.

if it wasnt obvious by the title parenting childrearing and related things are very important to this story.

oh and to top it off the body has a bionic arm.

nelah and her husband are not have a good time theres fucked up power dynamics out the wazoo

he is not chipped and as nelah notes most men are not. she at one point made more money than him. and them not having a kid yet is hurting his chances for a promotion. and a big one is he gets to watch the footage of her microchip as it uploads so no privacy

theres a lot of interesting world building like you can choose to integrate into the family of the body you are in or abandon them. in some cases you might remember past lives tho this seems to be a privilege awarded to the rich and connected most people forget. and a god is said to be resting under the city which is why the crime predicting stuff can happen.

my current issue is that the characters keep railing against the world they live in.

for example nelah pulled a knife on her body brother during an argument and wasnt zapped to stop

nelah lighty and more so the people she is in conversation with dont really believe in the folklore or religion of the area.

also in the story theres still wealth disparity corrupt and good old fashioned sexism.

so a we are following along with nelah we learn she has had an affair. has already gone through multiple miscarriages. multiple rounds of ivf. her business is failing. her body family is keeping an inheritance from her.

her an hubby decided that the next step should be an external artificial womb which costs them hella money they dont really have.

the next obstacle is nelahs government evaluation where they minority report test her to see if her body is eligible to be unchipped or I'd she needs counseling that could ultimately result in her being needed back to the consciousness waiting room as her body has to be scrapped.

it unfortunately does not go well. they ping the altercation with her brother and a possible future incident with her losing a child thats not hers. they pretend to let her go but actully keep her in a simulation that is a set up for her to steal a unattened child. and sure enough she does and is gonna be hauled off to mind jail but her husband intercepts and gets her set free.

this is where it starts getting bonkers. with all the stakes at hand she starts acting reckless for some reason??

she gets back with her affair partner and even escalates what they do together from just talk to drug feuled sex. which is wild bc even if her husband wasnt looking at her memories he still found out about the affair from coworkers. she turns down a major business deal for her firm even tho her employees are receiving half pay at the moment.

the affair might not be a crime but it would tank her and her husbands already bad public image and put their jobs in jeopardy which means she wouldnt be able to pay for her daughters womb so the gov would take growing baby for their body hopping supply.

and the drugs def a crime?? but also not zapping her??

so then her affair partner is like her babe I got this thing to hack your microchip so we can do even more crazy stuff and she is like idk seems risky.

she gives in and then he is all like ditch ur husband and get with me ill treat u right

and she is like idk i could be jumping from one bad situation to another and he is powerful its best not to slight him.

her affair partner is like no me and my family we are more powerful I can illegally get you a new body if you want. I can get your hubby demoted or promoted. I can stop the gov from takin ur baby.

side note the business deal she turned down was made by her affair partners dad. she turned it down bc he had rape allegations against him and used his influence to make them go away.

so the stakes are high af and the characters are messy af and I havent even gotten to the murder part of the plot ?!?!?

curious to see how tf its gonna get there and what mess the characters will make.

Off topic for this blog, but I am raging so you’ve been warned.

I do not feed into most actors lives, nor pay much attention to gossip columns about their happenings but Jennifer Aniston’s admission to failed IVF and the media surrounding her parent status has caught my attention.

The fact that she felt the need to come out and admit her IVF journey after years of media speculation and gossip about her childbearing status disgusts me on a level I struggle to put into coherent words. Whether she wanted to do this in solidarity with others who struggle or to finally set the record straight and stop the speculation is a moot point to me.

The fact the media and fans alike sensationalized this status and speculated to no end speaks to a society that has no respect for a persons personal choices or struggles. It also proves to all of the people who do not have offspring, for whatever reason, that society as a whole thinks their life is not complete without offspring.

And the above does not even begin to go into the damage this conversation does to those who are trying to get pregnant/ bring offspring to full term and have failed at that. All of the discussion around this topic can be soul crushing to those who are struggling on this front. You have no idea what others around you may be suffering through and when you speculate about a celebrity and this issue, you do nothing but heighten the shame your acquaintance may feel or remind them of the losses they’ve endured.

Most infertiles have hardened themselves to these conversations, whether we have come to terms with our situation or not is another matter, but we push on and do our best to not let the struggle show but that does not mean it doesn’t hurt. This decision, whether it be chosen or not, is a private matter and everyone deserves the right to keep it as such.

Never, and I mean never, should a person feel like they have to justify why they do not have children. I don’t care if they’re famous or not- no one owes anyone that explanation. Ever.

The Bone People (1984), Keri Hulme

LGBTQIA+

Summary: On New Zealand’s South Island, three isolated souls find solace in one another, bonded by their identities as mixed-race, their damaged familial relationships, and the journeys they must undertake to learn how to love. Keri Hulme unveils the deep heart of love, the complexities of abuse, and the poisonous fruits of intergenerational violence in her controversial and monumental work, The Bone People. 

Full review: High atop a tower, amidst the choppy seas, there once dwelled a large and menacing creature, unlike anything the locals had seen…

It is a fitting Brothers Grimm-esque description of the tone set by the opening of Keri Hulme’s The Bone People, which quickly shifts from tragedy on the Pacific to the self-imposed peace of Kerewin’s domicile: an eccentric and imposing structure befitting an equally eccentric and imposing woman. 

In Te Waipounamu, Kerewin has carved out a life for herself that is every introvert’s fantasy. Having won the lottery young and invested the money to win it back tenfold, she lives a labor-free life, spending her days spearfishing, playing the guitar, and drinking without a care in the world. 

The home she raises would plague a suburban Home Owners Association: a multi-story tower with dolphin-adorned banisters, toadstools peeking from corners, and an overgrown weed-strewn garden. It is a home created with a sole purpose: Kerewin. It is not a place for visitors or dinner parties, for hosting family or friends or visitors of any nature. 

By her own definition, Kerewin is very much the “spinster” single and childfree women of a certain age are branded when they are not involved in monogamous heterosexual relationships by a certain age. Written in 1985, off the bat it is refreshing to read a book wherein the dominant narrative does not revolve around Kerewin’s inherent need to “resolve” this status, and it is clear from the beginning that there is an intentional choice in it. 

Kerewin is childfree, not childess, a distinction that is growing but still merits broader discussion. Childfree individuals make an active choice, at some point in their lives, to forgo having children. In doing so they often bear society’s judgement, pressure, and even hostility for going against what many deem to be the “default choice” we should all fulfill with our bodies–to reproduce. Childfree people may choose this decision at a young age or may choose it during their 20s and 30s, after actively giving thought to having their own children and deciding against it. They may love children, dislike them, may fill their lives with the children of their friends, pets, or simply be happy without assuming any type of caregiver role.

Childless people, alternately, can be defined as those who may genuinely want biological children, but be unable to have them. They may experience significant emotional pain over their inability to have children, judgment and stigma directed towards their so-called failings, and may not find adoption, surrogacy, or IVF suitable or financially available options. 

Kerewin makes clear her feelings about children early on: she doesn’t like them. Frankly, she doesn’t like much of anyone: that’s why she lives alone, thrives alone, and chooses isolation, which makes it fitting that when a child appears in her window, injured and alone during a whirling storm Kerewin’s immediate reactions of both pity and irritation are so enthralling. She’s immediately drawn to the boy, a sopping wet thing projecting an aura of mystique and the maturity that precedes and child who knows more about the world than they should.

“Mature for their age” is a compliment granted to children and young women alike, who are today learning that it is often an unconscious recognition of the ways abuse leaves its mark. The effects can be mental, showing up as behaviors that appear to make one older than they are, or physical, such as early onset puberty, thinning in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and reduced cortical thickness according to the Americal Psychological Association (Colich, Williams, et. al 2020). 

As he is unable to speak, Kerewin discovers that she must take time to interpret what the boy, Simon is saying. He in turn discovers that she has patience he is unused to, and from there the two develop a bond that draws them together, transcending his rampant behavioral issues and naturally bringing forth the involvement of his adopted father Joe, who develops an attraction to Kerewin. 

The trio becomes close over their shared experiences having multiracial heritages of Pākehā (European) and Māori descent, and as Kerewin comes to care for Simon and Joe she also notes the symptoms of abuse Simon displays, both physical and emotional. As she tries to get to the root of who is responsible, Simon finds in her the first semblance of a mother he has had since Joe’s wife died, while Joe questions the nature of Kerewin’s asexuality. 

There are several times throughout the book when the direct question of Kerewin’s sexual orientation comes up. As she is directly based on the author, Keri Hulme herself, there could be no better source of writing on this front regarding representation in asexuality than the simple expression of “it’s who I am.”

Asexuality can be a confusing concept to wrap one's mind around, in part because it does not take a monolithic form, as well as because representation is so lacking for those of us who do not belong to the community. Asexual identities encompass nine labels people may gravitate towards, and the spectrum itself, like any, is prone to fluidity. 

Throughout the book, Kerewin is asked whether her asexuality is the result of sexual trauma, whether she is actually a lesbian or bisexual, and consistently whether she and Joe are sexually and romantically involved due to their gradual co-parenting of Simon.

In a brief but poignant speech, Kerewin details that she has never experienced any degree of sexual passion, interest, or feeling. She has attempted to learn about the reason for people’s interest in sex, reading books like the Kama Sutra, and picking apart whether there is something “wrong” with her, only to determine she simply is who she is, a fact Joe must accept. 

Despite being pegged as aromantic, Kerewin is a creature capable of love. While our society harps upon the importance of romantic love (to the deficit of all others), it is a testament to her own love for Simon and Joe the increasing feeling of protectiveness she begins to display over Simon, as well as her reaction upon the discovery that Joe is the responsible party for Simon’s physical abuse. 

The book has generated significant controversy for Hulme’s relentless depiction of this topic, as well as the portrayal of Kerewin, Joe, and Simon as ultimately three-dimensional characterization on this front. 

Simon is a boy who both hates and loves his father, Joe is a man who is both spiteful and pitiable, and Kerewin is both a perpetrator and a savior. It’s complex, and the reaction itself speaks volumes about the way different cultures speak about abuse, view the roles of abusers, and the idea of the psychology of victims, the cycle of abuse, punishments, and so on. 

All of this is draped within a mixture of Māori and Pākehā culture, with the book continuously streaming in and out of Māori dialogue, incorporating the atmosphere of Te Waipounamu in each and every meal, blade of grass, and breath the characters take, and bringing forth the mythology of one of the few cultures who have faced colonialism, yet are permitted the stamp of appreciation under the modern gaze due to New Zealand’s appeal to white culture.

How does a fertility expert perform ICSI in Nepal?

ICSI treatment in Nepal is the best fertility procedure recommended to treat male infertility issues, due to which a fertile woman cannot conceive a baby. ICSI in Nepal is a procedure in which fertility experts surgically extract male member sperm from his ejaculate by using these advanced techniques such as (i) Testicular sperm aspiration (TESA) and (ii) percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration (PESA). Suppose fertility experts fail to retrieve enough sperm through these two advanced techniques. They use the most advanced & latest technique, which is Testicular sperm extraction (TESE).

Once enough sperm is successfully retrieved, the fertility expert begins with the IVF procedure, in which they use the hollow needle that passes through the pelvic cavity of the upper vaginal wall. The fertility expert removes the fluid from the follicles with transvaginal ultrasound, & isolates the woman's eggs.

Once eggs are isolated, the fertility expert combines the woman's eggs with her husband's retrieved sperm to facilitate fertilization. The fertility expert monitor the eggs growth & development. Once the eggs are developed, the fertility expert will directly inject a single active and healthy sperm into each egg to ease the fertilization process.

Once fertilization occurs, the embryologist chooses the most active embryo/s & places it into the birth mother's uterus to establish a successful conception.  

After 14 days of embryo transfer, the couple must visit the fertility centre for the pregnancy test. The expert conducts an ultrasound to scan a woman's ovaries to listen to the infant's heartbeat. One expert confirms that the infant's heartbeats are normal; it indicates a successful conception has occurred & couple gets discharged from the fertility clinic to a local obstetrician, where pregnancy grows as usual.

Is ICSI treatment in Nepal a safe procedure?

We know that all surgical procedures are associated with low or high risk; similarly, ICSI in Nepal does also associate with some risks that include the following:

·         ICSI treatment in Nepal is a fertility procedure that carries a specific genetic defect found in a small number of children born through ICSI; however, the issues attached to ICSI might cause by underlying infertility rather than the treatment itself.

·         Suppose a boy has been born through an ICSI in Nepal; then there can be distinct possibilities that a baby boy inherits his father's infertility. It is a clear case of a genetic disease of male infertility, significantly associated with the Y chromosome. It means there are chances that the baby boy born through an ICSI procedure carries his father's infertility at a later age.

The fertility experts at Fertility centre Nepal advise couples to undergo genetic testing before an embryo transfer to avoid inherited congenital disease that can pass into a male newborn through an ICSI procedure. It is a clinic that hires qualified & trained fertility counsellors who help couples to understand the ICSI treatment in Nepal before proceeding.

What's the ICSI treatment success rate in Nepal?

The ICSI treatment success rate in Nepal is relatively higher compared to the conventional IVF methods. The research says that the ICSI treatment success rate in Nepal mainly depends on factors like women's age, the cause of male infertility, etc. However, to date, the ICSI treatment success rate in Nepal is around 75 to 85% for couples under 35 & these success rates slightly dip down to 40 to 50% for couples above 40. The study says that the healthier couples, the chances of producing healthy eggs & sperm are higher compared to older couples. It is the reason that the success rates for older women dip down, and the chances of conceiving a baby also decrease.

Why do people prefer Fertility centre Nepal for ICSI in Nepal?

Fertility centre Nepal is a leading and top-notch fertility clinic that offers the appropriate ICSI treatment in Nepal without any hidden charge. People should know that if any clinic offers IVF with ICSI in Nepal for less than NPR 2 50 000, it means they are hiding some costs that couples need to bear at the end of the procedure when they are waiting for a discharge summary from the clinic. To avoid such a situation, it's the responsibility of the couples to do their research correctly for the fertility clinic because it is a matter of their hard earns money and the emotions attached to the treatment.

Fertility centre Nepal is a clinic where people get transparency in the treatment from the initial stage until the baby delivers to them. All the documents related to the couple's treatment are saved in the clinic's database so that couples do not carry their file whenever they visit the clinic.

Fertility centre Nepal hires highly qualified and trained fertility professionals who understand the criticality of the treatment and the situation through couples are going through, such as financial, emotional, and mental stress.

How much does ICSI in Nepal costs for one fresh cycle?

Based on the couple's medical report, the expert plans their ICSI treatment in Nepal & ensures the cost couples have to pay for the treatment.

Navigating IVF: Exploring the Pain Factor and Success Rates

Are you considering the journey through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)? If so, you're not alone. The path to parenthood can sometimes take unexpected turns, and IVF has become a beacon of hope for many couples facing fertility challenges. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into the world of IVF, addressing common concerns such as whether IVF is painful, the success rates associated with it, and why some IVF attempts fail. Join us on this informative journey as we navigate the maze of IVF, shedding light on its complexities, benefits, and potential roadblocks.

Understanding IVF: A Brief Overview

Before we delve into the pain factor and success rates of IVF, let's first grasp the fundamentals of this reproductive technology. IVF, or In Vitro Fertilization, is a medical procedure designed to help individuals and couples overcome infertility. It involves the fertilization of an egg with sperm outside the body, followed by the transfer of the resulting embryo into the uterus.

Is IVF Painful? Unveiling the Truth

One of the most common concerns people have about IVF is whether it's painful. The truth is, the experience can vary from person to person, but it's essential to manage expectations.

Understanding the Discomfort

IVF does involve certain discomforts. For instance, the fertility medications administered to stimulate egg production can lead to bloating and mild abdominal discomfort. However, these sensations are generally manageable and temporary.

The Procedure Itself

During the egg retrieval and embryo transfer procedures, you'll receive anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Most patients report feeling little to no pain during these critical stages.

Benefits of IVF Treatment

While the process may seem daunting, IVF offers numerous benefits that make it a viable option for many individuals and couples.

Higher Chances of Conception

IVF significantly increases the chances of conception, especially for those with underlying fertility issues. It can be a lifeline for those who have struggled with infertility for an extended period.

Control and Flexibility

IVF allows you to have better control over the timing of conception. This can be especially helpful if you have busy schedules or medical reasons that require precise timing.

Understanding IVF Success Rates

Now, let's shift our focus to the critical aspect of IVF success rates. These rates are influenced by various factors and can vary from one IVF clinic to another.

Age Matters

A crucial factor affecting IVF success is age. Younger individuals typically have higher success rates, as the quality and quantity of eggs tend to decline with age.

Clinic Expertise

Choosing the right IVF clinic is vital. Reputable clinics, like ART Fertility Clinic, often have higher success rates due to their experienced staff and state-of-the-art facilities.

Previous Failed Attempts

The number of previous IVF attempts can impact success rates. After failed attempts, the chances of success may decrease, but they are not eliminated.

Why Does IVF Fail?

Facing IVF failure can be disheartening, but it's essential to understand why it happens. Several factors can contribute to unsuccessful IVF cycles.

Embryo Quality

Sometimes, the quality of embryos may not be optimal, making it difficult for them to implant successfully in the uterus.

Uterine Issues

Uterine problems, such as fibroids or polyps, can hinder implantation, leading to IVF failure.

Hormonal Imbalances

Imbalances in hormones crucial for implantation can affect the success of IVF.

Navigating the Emotional Rollercoaster

Embarking on the IVF journey can be an emotional rollercoaster. It's essential to acknowledge the emotional challenges and seek support when needed.

Seeking Support

Don't hesitate to lean on your partner, friends, or a support group. Sharing your feelings and experiences can be incredibly therapeutic.

Staying Positive

Maintaining a positive outlook can make a significant difference. Remember, each IVF cycle is a step forward, regardless of the outcome.

The Role of ART Fertility Clinic

If you're considering IVF, choosing the right clinic is paramount. ART Fertility Clinic, with its reputation for excellence and a dedicated team of specialists, is a beacon of hope for many seeking fertility solutions.

Experience and Expertise

The clinic's experienced professionals are well-versed in the latest advancements in fertility treatments, ensuring the best possible care for patients.

State-of-the-Art Facilities

ART Fertility Clinic boasts state-of-the-art facilities, equipped with cutting-edge technology to maximize your chances of success.

Final Thoughts

Embarking on the IVF journey can be both perplexing and emotionally taxing, but it's also a journey filled with hope and potential. While the question of whether IVF is painful may concern you, rest assured that discomfort is manageable, and the benefits can be life-changing. Success rates may vary, but with the right clinic and support system, your dreams of parenthood can become a reality. Remember, at ART Fertility Clinic, we're here to guide you every step of the way, offering hope and support on your path to parenthood.

Navigating IVF is a complex yet rewarding journey, and your dedication and perseverance are the keys to unlocking its potential.

How ICSI Works: A Breakthrough in Male Infertility Treatment

Male infertility is a common challenge many couples face while trying to conceive. Thanks to advancements in reproductive medicine, treatments like Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) have revolutionized the way male infertility is managed. ICSI offers new hope for couples struggling with male factor infertility, helping them achieve the dream of parenthood.

What is ICSI?

ICSI, or Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection, is an advanced assisted reproductive technology (ART) primarily used for treating male infertility. Unlike traditional In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), where sperm are allowed to naturally fertilize the egg in a petri dish, ICSI involves directly injecting a single healthy sperm into the cytoplasm of a mature egg using a fine needle under microscopic guidance. This process helps the sperm overcome any barriers to fertilization, making it particularly beneficial for men facing infertility issues like low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape.

How Does ICSI Work?

The ICSI process is a specialized form of IVF and involves several steps:

Ovarian Stimulation: Like IVF, the female partner undergoes ovarian stimulation to produce multiple mature eggs. Hormonal injections are administered to ensure the growth and maturation of the eggs.

Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are ready, they are retrieved from the ovaries through a minor surgical procedure known as egg retrieval, which is performed under ultrasound guidance.

Sperm Collection: A sperm sample is collected from the male partner or a donor. If sperm retrieval from ejaculation is not possible, a surgical method like Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) or Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) may be used.

Sperm Injection: Under microscopic control, a single, healthy sperm is selected and carefully injected into the center (cytoplasm) of the mature egg using a fine needle. This direct method overcomes any barriers that may prevent natural fertilization.

Fertilization and Embryo Culture: The fertilized egg, now an embryo, is monitored in the laboratory for a few days. Once the embryo develops, it is ready to be transferred into the woman's uterus.

Embryo Transfer: The healthiest embryo is transferred into the woman's uterus, where it hopefully implants and develops into a successful pregnancy.

Why is ICSI a Breakthrough for Male Infertility?

ICSI has transformed male infertility treatment, offering couples a higher chance of achieving pregnancy even in severe cases. It is particularly beneficial for:

Low Sperm Count: ICSI can achieve fertilization even when sperm count is extremely low.

Poor Sperm Motility: For men whose sperm do not swim well, ICSI bypasses the need for sperm motility to reach and fertilize the egg.

Abnormal Sperm Shape (Morphology): Even when sperm have irregular shapes, ICSI can select the best-quality sperm for injection.

Previous Failed IVF Attempts: Couples who have experienced failed IVF cycles due to fertilization issues can often succeed with ICSI.

IVF and Genetic Testing: What You Need to Know Before Starting

When embarking on the journey of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), many couples or individuals consider genetic testing as an essential part of the process. As fertility treatments evolve, so too do the options available to optimize the chances of a successful pregnancy and a healthy baby. IVF and genetic testing work together to provide deeper insights into the embryos, helping to detect potential genetic abnormalities and ensuring the best possible outcomes. Before starting the IVF process, it’s crucial to understand what genetic testing entails, how it can influence your treatment, and why it might be the right option for you.

What is Genetic Testing in IVF?

Genetic testing in IVF involves analyzing the DNA of embryos created through the IVF process to identify any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. It is typically performed on embryos before they are transferred into the uterus, a procedure known as preimplantation genetic testing (PGT). The goal is to select the healthiest embryos for transfer, thereby improving the chances of a successful pregnancy and reducing the risk of miscarriage or genetic disorders.

There are different types of genetic tests that may be conducted during an IVF cycle:

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A): This test checks for chromosomal abnormalities, such as missing or extra chromosomes, which can lead to conditions like Down syndrome or miscarriages.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Monogenic Disorders (PGT-M): This test screens for specific genetic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease, particularly if one or both parents are known carriers.

Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Structural Rearrangements (PGT-SR): This test looks for chromosomal rearrangements, which can lead to structural abnormalities that may prevent embryo implantation or cause miscarriage.

Why Consider Genetic Testing?

Increased IVF Success Rates: Genetic testing helps identify embryos that are most likely to result in a healthy pregnancy. By transferring only chromosomally normal embryos, the chances of a successful pregnancy are higher, and the number of IVF cycles required may be reduced.

Reducing the Risk of Genetic Disorders: For couples with a family history of genetic diseases, genetic testing can significantly lower the risk of passing on these conditions to their children.

Lower Risk of Miscarriage: Embryos with chromosomal abnormalities are more likely to result in a miscarriage. By identifying and transferring only healthy embryos, genetic testing can help reduce this risk.

Tailored IVF Treatment: The results of genetic testing can help doctors tailor your IVF treatment plan to increase your chances of success. For example, in some cases, certain medications or protocols may be adjusted based on the genetic health of the embryos.

Who Should Consider Genetic Testing with IVF?

Not all couples or individuals undergoing IVF require genetic testing, but it can be particularly beneficial for the following groups:

Women over 35 years old: As maternal age increases, so does the likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos. Genetic checking out can help mitigate this chance.

Couples with a history of miscarriages: If you’ve experienced multiple miscarriages, genetic testing may help identify if chromosomal issues are contributing to pregnancy loss.

Couples with known genetic conditions: If either partner is a carrier of a genetic disorder, genetic testing can ensure that the healthiest embryos, free of the condition, are selected for transfer.

Couples with failed IVF cycles: If previous IVF attempts have been unsuccessful, genetic testing might provide answers and increase the chances of success in future cycles.

The Genetic Testing Process in IVF

IVF Cycle Initiation: The first step in the process is the traditional IVF cycle, where eggs are harvested from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a lab setting.

Embryo Development: Once the eggs are fertilized, the embryos are allowed to develop for 5-7 days until they reach the blastocyst stage, which is optimal for testing.

Biopsy and Genetic Testing: A small sample of cells is taken from each embryo and sent for genetic analysis. This process does not harm the embryo.

Embryo Freezing: While the genetic tests are being performed, the embryos are frozen to preserve their viability for future transfer.

Results and Embryo Transfer: Once the genetic test results are available, the healthiest embryos are selected, and one or more may be transferred to the uterus to begin the pregnancy.

Best IVF Treatment in Delhi

If you're considering IVF with genetic testing, it’s important to seek out clinics that offer state-of-the-art technology and expert care.

The Complete Guide to IVF Treatment in Madurai

Infertility is a challenging journey for many couples, but advancements in medical technology have provided hope and solutions. One of the most effective treatments for infertility is In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Madurai, with its reputable healthcare facilities, has become a beacon of hope for couples seeking IVF treatment. In this guide, we will explore everything you need to know about IVF treatment in Madurai, focusing on what you can expect at Preethi Hospitals, Madurai.

What is IVF?

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is a process where an egg is fertilized by sperm outside the body, in a laboratory setting. Once fertilized, the embryo is then implanted into the woman's uterus. This method is particularly helpful for couples facing various infertility issues, such as blocked fallopian tubes, male infertility, or unexplained infertility.

Why Choose IVF?

IVF has a high success rate compared to other fertility treatments. It offers the possibility of pregnancy even when other methods have failed. Moreover, IVF allows for the use of donor eggs or sperm, and it can be an option for same-sex couples or single women wanting to conceive.

Understanding the IVF Process

Ovarian Stimulation: The first step involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs. This is done through hormonal injections, monitored by ultrasound and blood tests.

Egg Retrieval: Once the eggs are mature, they are retrieved using a minor surgical procedure under sedation. A needle is used to collect the eggs from the ovarian follicles.

Fertilization: The retrieved eggs are then fertilized with sperm in the laboratory. This can be done through conventional insemination or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI).

Embryo Culture: The fertilized eggs, now embryos, are cultured in a controlled environment for a few days.

Embryo Transfer: The healthiest embryos are selected and transferred into the woman’s uterus. This is a simple procedure and does not require anesthesia.

Pregnancy Test: About two weeks after the embryo transfer, a blood test is conducted to check for pregnancy.

Being physically and mentally prepared is crucial for the success of the treatment. It’s advisable to maintain a healthy lifestyle, manage stress, and follow the doctor's instructions diligently.

Success Rates and Expectations

The success rate of IVF varies based on several factors, including the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, and the quality of the embryos.
