Early pregnancy tests are both a blessing and a curse, especially for women actively trying to conceive.
They’re a blessing in that they are helping women discover pregnancy earlier than ever before in history, usually before a period is even missed. This is great for women who are wanting to take precautions as soon as possible and avoid things like alcohol or too much caffeine early on in pregnancy, and there’s also an element of fun in knowing so soon. My first pregnancy was detected only three weeks on the dot after my period started, and it was because I used one of those First Response early tests.
However, they’re also a curse in that more women are beginning to actively recognize chemical pregnancies/early miscarriages. Most pregnancy failures happen in the first few weeks of pregnancy, but they were often not noticed until recently, since this usually happened before a classic pregnancy test could even pick a pregnancy up. Women who experienced chemical pregnancies typically wrote off the end of that cycle as a “heavy period” that was just a couple days late, since they had no way of knowing they were actually briefly pregnant.
I don’t know if I posted about it here, but during a cycle a few months after my miscarriage, I was getting very faint positives on early tests. I knew these weren’t just indent lines, because they were very clearly pink and consistent for a couple days before I started bleeding, like, a couple days after my period was due. I weirdly enough didn’t get heartbroken over this one, I guess because the fact that the lines never got darker clued me in that the pregnancy wasn’t going to stick. Anyway, the cycle following this fiasco was the one my son was conceived in, so had I not used any early tests, I probably would’ve been none the wiser that anything had even happened down there.
I think we’re going to get a lot more data in the coming years about just how common chemical pregnancies are as more and more women decide to test before their periods are due. We could see it become more common to openly discuss failed pregnancies, as well as experience more acceptance over the fact that miscarriages, while tragic, are a common part of the reproductive process, and they’re nothing for mothers to be ashamed of or necessarily panic over in relation to their chances of successfully carrying a pregnancy to term in the future.

Ok ok ok...so if a fetus is the same as a person...and gender affirming surgeries/medical care is medically necessary or the alternative is people killing themselves...
Hear me out
I'm not aborting, I'm just surrendering for adoption EARLY. Elective surgery, get this human out of me. I'm abandoning now rather than later. I'm going to eat a bullet if you force me to carry to term. I don't identify as a mother, sorry, birthing person. You have to allow this to me because I've decided it's medically necessary.
There are holes, I get it...workshop this with me. I'm on to something here.

It's fascinating that women will often be told they are made to reproduce and that the natural state is to be pregnant when in fact staying pregnant is a miracle because the body treats the pregnancy like a parasite and constantly tries to get rid of it. Menstruation isn't preparing for one, it's getting rid of potential ones because the female body doesn't want to be pregnant. Miscarriages aren't evil. It's the body trying to get rid of it and succeeding. This is why it's called the 'miracle of life'.

I learned yesterday on Sawbones podcast that the recommended dose of Plan B is less effective has unknown efficacy for people 165 lbs or more, but also no because insufficient data is available for what was gathered in clinical trials to determine what the effective dose is based on weight above 165 lbs.
Which is just wild to me. A lot of people weigh more than 165 lbs. Tall people, fat people, muscular people, people who are neither fat nor remarkably muscular nor remarkably tall.
This is not a recommendation to not take Plan B if you are over 165 lbs. This is a recommendation to demand that pharmaceutical companies consistently include people of a variety of weights in their dosing trials.

If Voters oppose banning abortion, why do Republicans continue to urge them?
Because Republican voters and their beliefs are dwindling. Not just because a 2:1 ratio of their base perished as a result of their terrible pandemic policies. Republican voters are disproportionately aged, white, and Christian Examine the trends in those demographics using 3 important defining factors.
Race: In the past ten years, the proportion of white Americans has decreased by 4.5%. With a 71% voting percentage and a 17% GOP victory margin among white voters, there are 178,000 fewer red votes cast annually.
Religion: Every year, 1% of Americans abandon identifying as Christians. That equates to 3.2M fewer Christians annually. With a voting rate of 67% on average and a red-leaning 55% of the time, the right loses 220k votes annually.
Age: Approximately 96 million Americans are 55 or older. A little over 52% of this group votes in favor of red. Not by much, but the 55+ demographic is sizable and the only age group to vote overwhelmingly for the Republican Party. A rate of over 2.5 million people in this age range pass away each year (2.6%). 1.745M people would have cast ballots if the voting rate had been at 70%. That amounts to a net loss of 87k voters year at a 5% republican margin.
On the other hand, almost 4.2 million members of Generation Z become eligible to vote every year. They have been voting at a 48% and 65% Democratic percentage respectively. With such figures, the left would acquire an additional 685k voters year.
It has always been the case that left-leaning young people are becoming eligible to vote and that right-leaning old voters are passing away. Usually, this imbalance is made up by older voters moving to the right. However, this pattern recently came to an end. As they become older, Millennials and Gen Z are not moving right; in fact, you could argue that they are heading further left. Although these figures don't add up, they do reveal a clear downward trend in all of the GOP's fundamental constituencies.

Hi, I know that there's a lot of people who want to donate to local women's health clinics/abortion clinics but worry that they'll accidentally donate to crisis pregnancy centers. Above is a link to a website to a legit women's clinic from my hometown. They're opening a different clinic in Carbondale Illinois where they could provide the abortion services they can't do in Memphis, so if anyone wants to donate, check out the website, they also offer midwife services and birth control (free IUD's) .

Demystifying Fertility Options: A Patients Guide To IUI IVF And FET At Healix Hospitals
Tumblr media
Navigating fertility treatment options can feel overwhelming for many individuals and couples. At Healix Hospitals, we understand the importance of providing clear guidance and support to patients embarking on their fertility journey. In this comprehensive guide, we will demystify three common fertility treatments: Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), and Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET). Let's explore each option and understand how they can help you achieve your dream of parenthood.
1. Intrauterine Insemination : Quick Overview!
Intrauterine Insemination, commonly known as IUI, is a fertility treatment where sperm is directly placed into the uterus during the woman's ovulation period. Here's what you need to know about IUI:
Process: During IUI, carefully prepared sperm is inserted directly into the uterus using a thin catheter, timed to coincide with ovulation.
Who it's for: IUI is often recommended for couples with unexplained infertility, mild male factor infertility, or cervical issues.
Success rates: Success rates for IUI vary depending on factors such as age, fertility diagnosis, and the woman's ovarian reserve. Our experienced fertility specialists at Healix Hospitals will provide personalized guidance based on your specific circumstances.
2. Decoding In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF, is a more advanced fertility treatment that involves fertilizing eggs with sperm outside the body. Here's a closer look at IVF:
Procedure: IVF involves stimulating the ovaries to produce multiple eggs, retrieving the eggs surgically, fertilizing them in a laboratory, and transferring the resulting embryos into the uterus.
Candidates: IVF is recommended for individuals or couples with more complex fertility issues, such as tubal factor infertility, severe male factor infertility, or advanced maternal age.
Success rates: While IVF success rates can vary, advancements in technology and protocols have significantly improved outcomes over the years. Our dedicated team at Healix Hospitals is committed to maximizing your chances of success through personalized care and state-of-the-art techniques.
3. Navigating Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)
Frozen Embryo Transfer, or FET, is a procedure where embryos that were previously frozen during an IVF cycle are thawed and transferred into the uterus. Here's what you should know about FET:
Process: After undergoing an IVF cycle, any excess embryos can be cryopreserved (frozen) for future use. When the time is right, these frozen embryos can be thawed and transferred into the uterus during a FET cycle.
Benefits: FET offers patients the flexibility to undergo multiple embryo transfer attempts without the need for additional ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval procedures.
Success rates: FET success rates are comparable to fresh embryo transfers, and in some cases, may even be higher. Our experienced fertility team will work closely with you to optimize your chances of a successful pregnancy through FET.
