Hysterosalpingogram (HSG Test) Procedure: What To Expect?

Dr. Tanya Das Fellow Infertility Specialist Institute of Human Reproduction

What is an HSG Test?

Hysterosalpingography (HSG) is an important female fertility test. HSG test is an X-ray procedure that is used to view the inside of the uterus and the fallopian tubes. HSG was first performed by Rind Fleisch in 1910 and was considered to be the first special radiology procedure of that time.

Why is HSG Test Done? What are the benefits of an HSG Test?

An HSG gives information regarding the structural anatomy of the uterus and fallopian tubes. HSG helps in the diagnosis of uterine anomalies such as congenital malformations, uterine synechiae, endometrial polyps, submucosal myomas, etc. It also helps in assessing the patency of fallopian tubes (tubal blockage) and also gives us an idea of various tubal pathologies.

HSG Update

HSG is done!! First it was not painful, I was nervous as hell thinking it was going to hurt, and honestly I didn’t feel anything. The worst part was him trying to get my cervix in the right spot and keeping my feet in the stirrup cause the thing kept moving. Now I wasn’t expecting him to tell me anything but he did which I’m glad for. My right tube was great, but my left tube was blocked. So I assume I will be needing surgery to open it up but I’m not 100% on that. I have a follow up with my regular OB in a couple of weeks and she will fill me in on next steps. I am absolutely relieved that they found something and it’s fixable. I was a little emotional about it but in a good way.

Hyposwap Green: Swapping the Kids

Welcome to Hyposwap Green! A slowly ongoing project of both the mildly artistic and majorly imaginative varieties. It’s an original (somewhat) take on Underswap, inspired both by p0pc0rnprince’s “canonswap” that started it all, various fandom interpretations, and my own thoughts on the matter.

I think it is only apt to start with Undertale’s big trio: the Kids!

In Canonswap, Asriel is swapped with Monster Kid while Chara is swapped with Frisk. While I think the Chara-Frisk swap makes sense, I don’t particularly care for Monster Kid, and think it would be much more interesting for the Kids to be swapped with each other instead. So!

CHARA

The most recently fallen human in the Underground, Chara takes Frisk's place as the playable protagonist.

They have an unfortunate home life which led them to run away from their family. Armed with whatever supplies they could save money for and scrounge up from the house and various dumpsters, as well as a single woodcarving knife, Chara left for Mt. Ebott with the hope that they'd be lost forever: not dead, but undiscoverable, leading an idyllic and isolated life in the forest for the rest of their days. That did not happen. Chara tripped and fell into a hole instead, landing in the Underground as the first human since Frisk's death.

Yeah! The first! In Hyposwap Green, Chara is the second fallen human and the first human SOUL. I think it fits with the general "swap" fuckery that goes on in Underswap AUs, plus it puts a different spin on the situation that Chara will find themself in.

Chara's somewhat brutal upbringing made them especially prone to violence as a means of self-protection. They want to learn what being happy feels like and live in peace, and if the monsters want to kill them that badly, well, they're not going to make it easy for them! As Chara is the second human, the death of Frisk and Asriel is still fresh in the monsters' eyes and SOULs, so they tend to be more vicious towards Chara than they are to Frisk in Undertale. As a character, Chara would retaliate in kind, attacking with the INTENT to win (kill) and get out, finally able to live a happy life (they hope). Chara is DETERMINED as hell to get their happy ending. While naturally leaning towards a somewhat violent Neutral and possibly leaning to Genocide, Chara can be persuaded towards Pacifism by....

ASRIEL

Asriel is the angel on Chara's shoulder--a fitting swap for Chara themself! HSG Frisk and Asriel died much in the same way that UT Chara and Asriel did, but instead of becoming a flower, Asriel became the ghost haunting the narrative. Except instead of being a Demon of the Genocide timeline, Asriel is the Angel of the True Pacifist Route, giving Chara various pointers in dialogue boxes and whispering in their ear to not fight, please.

Asriel realizes that because Chara is the second human and there is not an abundance of people falling into the Underground, Chara will most likely have to kill Asgore or Toriel to be able to cross the barrier and leave. He hopes in part that by teaching Chara that monsters are good, just hurt and wounded and struggling to hold onto hope, they will find a home Underground, with their friends (and newfound family).

FRISK

Frisk takes UT Asriel's role as Flowey the Flower, but Chara's role as the first fallen human and Asgore and Toriel's adoptive child. In HSG, Frisk was very fascinated by the Underground when they had fallen in, especially the more magical aspects. Their favorite region by far was Waterfall, where they and Asriel would often go to sing to the echo flowers to the tune of the rushing water, weaving eerie yet soothing lullabies that filled Waterfall's caverns with gentle noise. Asgore ended up making a little echo flower garden in the New Home Castle where the royal family lived, which Frisk was very attentive to. They and Asriel would put on performances and "talent shows" for their parents, using the echo flowers as a choir.

I imagine that instead of the "Chara's Creepy Smile" tape in the True Lab, the player would find a cassette of a creepy lullaby Frisk would have the echo flowers sing for Asriel--perhaps about their plans on how to free the monsters and destroy the barrier.

The flower on Frisk's head and what I wrote so far makes the next part of their design very obvious; instead of being a golden Flowey the Flower, Frisk the Flower is instead an echo flower! Inspired by the fandom sometimes interpreting Frisk as mute or autistic nonverbal/semi-verbal (or both!), Frisk the Flowey would only be able of communicating through echolalia, a speech quirk that can be found in some autistics! They can only repeat what had once been spoken around them, withn the same inflection, tone of voice, and same voice wholesale! In the game, this would look like switching fonts (when using the skelebros' speech) as well as discordant and constantly-changing "voice dings".

DESIGN NOTES

I don't have much to say besides the fact that the colors are of the human kids are inspired/based on the inverted colors of their clothing. I prefer darker, more desaturated tones, so Chara's inverted colors and Asriel's natural colors got strongly muted to fit with the vibe I was going for. Asriel's inverted coloring is included mostly just to fill that space...

Frisk went through more changes. I based their skintone off of the inverted blue of their romper (that's what they're wearing in my drawing, anyhow!) but a little desaturated, but the rest of their clothing is colored mostly just to match Asriel. I want for most if not all of the monsters to have some green element in their clothing (it's Hyposwap Green after all), but I also found it cute how UT Chara and Asriel wore matching shirts. Chara likely borrowed Asriel's clothing. I wanted to make Frisk match Asriel, since they were now the adoptive sibling stealing their brother's clothes. I made their clothes a bit dark though, so to help the siblings match, Asriel's shorts are the same dark green as most of Frisk's romper.

#undertale #underswap #undertale au #frisk #asriel #chara #ut au #underswap au #hyposwap green #ut hsg #hsg #no future drawings will be lineless pixels bc i swear to GOD this took four times as long as it should have #i mean i am slow already but GOD #i really do have a lot to draw bc i have so many thoughts about some new “mechanics” for the game #like fire sprite gathering #and asriel being a hands-on teacher of pacifism

Paper love.

Seojun x Soojin.

Original story, with some kdrama themes.

Soojin deserves a beautiful love story, that's why I decided to make this story, I hope you like it a lot. It would make me very happy to continue the story, so I would like you to let me know if you like it <3

From his first minute of life, literally. His father took care of his past, present and future, well that was before. Everything had changed two years ago, when she decided that the abuse she received from her father was hurting her more and more, causing her to hurt herself in the worst way. Thus; He decided to denounce him, with each of the evidence he kept since he was 12 years old, the age where it all began. Soojin, despite her age, was very mature and understood many things that young people her age did not, even so, her fear and her demand to be the best daughter, blinded her to the point of silence, hoping that some day. day to stop, to Soojin's bad luck, that never happened. Nowadays, everything is improving, she works as a secretary in a company related to entertainment, she is beginning to have real friends and not because of any particular interest. The relationship with his mother is becoming stronger and stronger and with it, he is beginning to understand what happiness and tranquility are. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~○~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Han Seojun all her life had grown up full of love next to her small family , his mother, sister and grandfather. At the age of 18, he began to enter the family business, a company that he had started based on his dream. Becoming a well-known character in the Kpop industry was something Seojun had dreamed of since he was little. To tell the truth, he was close to his dream, but at the same time he was thousands of kilometers away from fulfilling it.

Ever since her grandfather fell ill, Han Seojun had started to take charge of the company, in a way that made many employees uneasy, she became CEO of HSG quite young. The truth was that, despite this, the company was improving, it became one of the most recognized entertainment companies in the country and it was something that Seojun was proud of, it felt good to know that even if he was not doing what he was most passionate about, he was helping many young people with his same dream, to be an idol.

Lets break down this menstrual cycle.

So the first week is menstruation. The lining of the uterus is shed and we bleed and are really cranky. Rightly so. Our body is expelling old blood and tissue and all we want is chocolate and rom-coms. This lasts for 3-7 days (or more sometimes)

Next comes the follicular phase. The ovaries start to grow those eggs and the uterine lining thickens in preparation. This lasts 11-21 days (or more)

Now we get to ovulation. That egg is released from he ovaries and travels down the fallopian tubes in hope to meet a sperm. This graphic has it written as peak ovulation happening midway through this 28 day cycle on day 14, but a lot of women have cycles that are shorter or longer so peak ovulation between days 12-21 or even further out.

Then comes the luteal phase. If the sperm has met the egg and gotten though its outer layer then the blastocyst can attempt to attach to the walls of the uterus. This happens typically between days 18-25. If successfully implanted the body will start producing HSG and it will sometimes take 1-2 weeks later for a test to confirm pregnancy.

Of course if the egg hasn't met the sperm the body will start all over and expel that lining of the uterus and start over again.

Here's the rub: If the woman finds she is pregnant the day of her missed period, she is 4 or more weeks pregnant. Kinda BS if even on this 28 day cycle the first 2 weeks she is not pregnant because its impossible to be pregnant before ovulation. But medically they define pregnancy weeks starting the day of your previous menstrual cycle. So for many women who have longer cycles they are automatically over 6 weeks when they find out they are pregnant. For example women with PCOS can have completely unreliable cycles lasting from 35-45 days or more. So they wouldn't know to test because its normal for a period to be later and by the time they do they could be 6 weeks pregnant even if they never missed a period. Other things that mess up period cycles are stress, excessive exercise, or illness.

The moral of the story is the patriarchy sucks. These bans are designed to hurt women and people with uteruses. And these bans were written and passed by ignorant men (and yes women) who have no idea how fertility actually works.

Hello Beautiful People!!

So last month I had an SHG (Sonohysterogram) and a HSG (Hysterosalpingogram). The HSG did hurt a little bit as my tubes appeared blocked again. They were able to push the dye through and clear the block. Which is when the pain happened. Unfortunately since I can't have ibuprofen I could only take Tylenol which did help a bit after. They determined that due to the location of the polyps they found during retrieval I needed to have another Hysteroscopy w/Polypectomy before I can do transfer. I was able to get the surgery scheduled for this coming week so I'll be taking a day off work for that. I'm not too worried about the surgery anymore although I did get worried initially. I really was hoping this would be the last time I needed this surgery, but I recently found out that polyps are common in my family.

Earlier this week I got a call from my IVF coordinator and we were able to schedule the baseline appointments and transfer for this month. Yay, I'm excited but a bit nervous. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to do it until June due to when I was able to schedule the surgery.

While I know the statistically the first transfer doesn't always work. I have to be positive that it's going to work. I haven't asked yet how much it would cost to do a second transfer out of pocket but I know that we don't really have the money right now to afford a second transfer. So I am going to be hopeful, trust in the God I believe in that everything will work out.

I got all my medications for transfer. I'll be stopping birth control after my surgery and I'll be starting the meds after the 1st baseline appointment. I'm going to see if we can talk to billing after our appointment.

Until Next Time,

ttfn

How to Improve your Chances of IVF Success After Failed Attempts?

Common Factors Responsible for Failed IVF cycles

What investigations do you need after a failed IVF cycle?

IVF Failed—How to move forward?

What are your Chances after IVF failure & How to Boost them?

Solutions to IVF failures at MotherToBe IVF Clinic in Hyderabad!

Failed Attempt!

 It is the IVF outcome that you do not ever want to think about! 

You have worked so hard, invested a lot of time, paid so much, and endured considerable physical and emotional trauma, all hoping for one result-A successful conception-a baby! 

Failed IVF could be devastating for couples who are yearning for parenthood. While success rates for IVF treatment are at their highest, and ART technology and care are only getting better and better. But still, there are those odd occurrences where IVF fails. Regardless of whether you know or not the reasons, it hurts deeply. 

Here is the fact-IVF is not a Guarantee!

It is a very fact that IVF is a service to assist you in achieving what you want.  No matter what and where you are seeking fertility treatment though, you should be given a complete picture of the odds that you will walk away pregnant. 

Fortunately, Endometrial Receptivity Analysis otherwise called ERA Testing, Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS), and immunologic tests, now exist and can improve success rates. But other factors such as age, egg quality could work against even the best technologies. 

Here is some useful information regarding what’s the next step after an IVF failure and what fertility doctors can do to improve your chances of getting pregnant and also know about some solutions from  MotherToBe. Keep reading to know more:

Let’s discuss what went wrong:

Sometimes it is a matter of just trying again. But especially in cases of more complex treatments such as IVF, identifying where things fell through may help improve your odds of success next time. 

Common Factors Responsible for Failed IVF cycles

IVF failure can be a vague term, that can refer to multiple situations:

IVF cycle cancellation, owing to a low number of follicles produced at the time of egg retrieval. And also when the patient develops medical complications such as OHSS(ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome).

The retrieved eggs are inadequate or not of high/good quality. 

The retrieved egg doesn’t fertilize well enough.

No embryo present during the transfer into the uterus.

Implantation Failure-Transferred embryos might not implant due to various reasons.

Due to various infections such as TB, Gonorrhea, etc. 

Due to male factor infertility-( like less motility, high DNA fragmentation rate, etc.)

IVF failure due to Inadequate Ovarian Stimulation.

Inadequate Endometrium thickness and receptivity.

Polycystic ovaries 

What investigations do you need after a failed IVF cycle?

Potential causes of IVF implantation failures should be investigated in order to plan the next suitable  treatment options There are various tests and screening available that can aid pinpoint what are the issues may be, here are some test options below:

Uterine Evaluation or Hysterosalpingogram (HSG)

Hysterosalpingogram is an evaluation of the uterus which is done before the IVF cycle. This is a test of choice where it adequately looks at the uterus and the fallopian tubes. A hydrosalpinx (a condition where the fallopian tube is filled with fluid and blocked) can reduce implantation by 50%, so you and the IVF specialists do need to know the tubal status while going for IVF.  

Sperm DNA Fragmentation Test

Another test that has gained traction is the sperm DNA fragmentation assay, which examines the integrity of DNA in the sperm. Some study data suggest that if the assay value is abnormally high, it can lower the fertilization rates, implantation rates, and even higher miscarriage rates might result. 

Men with normal semen analysis results can do have abnormal DNA fragmentation results. This test is used to better understand male fertility and gaining more interest among fertility specialists. As its key role is still not clearly defined, and further data is needed to determine the usage of these tests.

ERA-Endometrial Receptivity Assay Testing

Since 1990, a series of tests have been performed on the endometrium/uterine cavity cells to determine if there are any certain chemical/genetic markers that predict the receptivity of the endometrium to implantation. The ERA is one of these tests, in which a biopsy of the endometrium is performed and hundreds of genes are investigated to predict the receptivity of the uterus to implantation. ERA could also provide clues regarding the implantation window and the ideal time to transfer the embryos. 

PGT-A 

Formerly popular as PGS-Preimplantation Genetic Screening,  for most couples, embryos created in an IVF cycle may have an abnormal number of chromosomes. Transfer of such abnormal embryos fails to conceive or even results in increased rates of miscarriage and abnormal births. 

PGT-A is one of the genetic screening procedures in which cells are removed from a developing embryo and then tested its chromosome content. Embryos that have a normal number of chromosomes are selected for transfer, this procedure helps results in improved pregnancy rates and reduced miscarriage rates.

PGT-A improves the ability to achieve conception with a single embryo which can reduce the risks related to multiple pregnancies faced by mothers & babies. 

Some immunologic tests can also be done to detect various immunologic abnormalities and this can help in improving clinical outcomes for patients with repeated implantation failures.

IVF Failed—How to move forward?

At this stage, you have two considerations, the first one is you need to process the emotional distress and response to the loss and then the next medical choices that need to be taken regarding the next steps in your fertility journey. 

Take a break—

It is essential to take a well-deserved break after an IVF loss. The entire process up to this has taken a huge physical and emotional toll on your body. Take a break from everything, so that you can nurture yourself. It is also a great idea to seek support from a specialized counselor. At MotherToBe, we have experienced professionals, expertise staff to provide comprehensive care and emotional support to you and your partner to overcome your grief.

Talk to the Fertility Specialist 

After allocating some time to express your emotional anguish, it is necessary to consult your fertility specialist, where the physician will review complete details about your IVF cycle beginning with the results of ovarian stimulation, or any egg quality/quantity issues, or even embryo development or transfer issues. 

Proceed with a more informed treatment plan 

After evaluating the previous cycle results the fertility specialist suggests the next course of treatment plan where you can discuss new pieces of information that has been learned from the previous failed IVF cycle with a  more informed treatment plan for the next IVF cycle.

What are your Chances after IVF failure & How to Boost them?

Couples with failed IVF cycles often ask this very reasonable question. And women have good chances of a second IVF pregnancy where cumulative live birth rates range between 51%-70%.   

However, the chances for happening a successful IVF depends on various factors. Including:

Age of the female partner

Egg quality & quantity

Sperm quality 

Quality of the ovarian stimulation

number of quality eggs retrieved 

egg retrieval & embryo transfer skills 

uterine issues 

embryo developmental rates 

genetic & chromosomal competence of the embryos.

In order to maximize your chances for a successful second IVF try, make sure that your fertility doctor has carefully reviewed the above issues. 

Conception is achievable even after failed IVF cycles!

Hope in the form of Real Data & Statistics!

The above graph is a CDC report which shows data on IVF success by age and IVF tries whether it a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th attempt after previous failed IVF cycles.

At MotherToBe IVF Clinic our Approach is Different!

An unsuccessful IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) cycle could be really frustrating & disheartening. We know this well because most of our patients have had unsuccessful IVF attempts elsewhere before at other fertility centers. At MotherToBe, we specialize in helping patients with consecutive or recurrent IVF failures and varied tough cases of infertility.

Solutions to IVF failures at MotherToBe IVF Clinic in Hyderabad!

Our assurance on this issue derives from the fact that we have a successful track record of treating so many patients in the past few years to conceive, despite their long histories of failed ART treatments. After reviewing the events of previous unsuccessful cycles, some adjustments can be made in the next IVF attempt to make it successful.

Repeat IVF treatment 

Follows same protocol with some suitable adjustments (medications, Genetic screening like PGD/PGS)

Adding ICSI to standard IVF (aid in fertilization of the eggs)

Assisted Hatching to assist with implantation

Immunotherapy 

Egg donor IVF is recommended in cases of poor egg quality or premature ovarian failure or low ovarian reserves.

If you are one of those patients with failed IVF cycles elsewhere, consider contacting MotherToBe fertility center for a second opinion. book an appointment

It’s been 5 years since my last endo surgery and as of next week I may be back on the hospital merry go-round. 

(if you’re at all squeamish or would rather not hear some TMI then turn away now, everything else is below the cut)

We’re trying to find out if my 15+ years of endo along with 3 surgeries and a myriad of other treatments have ruined my ability to have children. Thanks to a combination of covid and the medical community not accounting for disabilities...

(hubby has an upper arm disability affecting both arms, had to have a sperm test before we were allowed a referral to the fertility clinic, was told to donate his sperm inside the sperm clinic and was not to bring a sample from outside, no he couldn’t bring anyone with him to help because COVID - it took several phone calls and our GP stepping in to call the hospital for them to work out that this was an equation that doesn’t work)

... it’s taken 18 months for us to actually speak to anyone at the fertility clinic. Lovely man, possibly the oldest doctor I’ve ever encountered in my life and the computers were an unknown enemy that kept flummoxing him but we got there in the end. Tuesday I am now booked in for an HSG test, to be followed by a transvaginal ultrasound, and some more blood tests. I have to admit that I am more than a little worried. Not about the ultrasound - I have endo. I've had so many transvaginal ultrasounds in my life that it's just become second nature. Several that were quite uncomfortable because apparently my right ovary tends to wander so they really need to jab the wand in there to find it, and Including my first one where I was just expected to undress in front of the male doctor doing the scan so .. yeah, dignity was one of my first endo casualties.

I'm told the HSG test is just like a smear test. I think the nurse booking me in thought that would be reassuring. "It's just like a smear" she says, "nothing to worry about." Except, I have endometriosis. This news is not reassuring. Smear tests are so horrifically painful for me that I've had to apologise for my screaming in the past. Because apparently my pain disturbs other people, like the nurses and doctors who are causing that pain.

Most doctors have just told me to be less dramatic, or just relax (because pain and being told I'm being silly is just so relaxing) but don't actually have any solutions. If anyone else who has issues like this has any advice on how to deal with it then I'm all ears. Is there a different position that may help? Can I suggest they use a slightly different tool that might hurt less? Is there a secret code in doctor speak that might get them to actually take me seriously and maybe give me the good drugs first? (I really doubt the last one, I've encountered lots of doctors who seem to think that endometriosis is code for 'drug seeker' so just tell me off for using pain medication).

Hipgnosis Links With SACEM and Peermusic for ‘Cost-Effective’ Royalty Collection

The following article has been posted on July 18, 2022 at 02:23AM:

An Overlooked Tracks News Finding: Here’s an article you might have overlooked. Having a partnership with NewsAPI, we try to catch music entertainment news for you to view, read and possibly enjoy. We will continue to find what’s available in the world of music entertainment, concert information and music releases. But obviously you – the listener and reader are the biggest source for news in your area, so if you can share with us. For right now, look at what we found for you:

“From The Billboard Magazine Website – Hipgnosis Links With SACEM and Peermusic for ‘Cost-Effective’ Royalty Collection”

The partnerships mark the next steps in a years-long plan by Hipgnosis to reduce administration costs for its vast catalog.

  As part of its annual report released Thursday (July 14), Hipgnosis Songs Fund revealed it will be entering partnerships with SACEM, the French collection society, and peermusic, one of the largest independent music publishers and neighboring rights administration companies, to ensure the administration of its catalog “is carried out as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.”

After the financial year ends, Hipgnosis will team up with SACEM to collect digital royalties, primarily in the U.K. and E.U., for the writer’s share of income for 30 of its catalogs. SACEM will pay out these monies directly to Hipgnosis to “eliminate one link in the royalty collection process” and “reduce third party administration and collection fees and the length of time it takes to collect digital revenues,” including those from on-demand streaming and digital radio.

The rightsholder will also link with peermusic for the sub-publishing of “specific” catalogs in areas like Latin America and Asia, where its publishing arm, Hipgnosis Songs Group (HSG), and SACEM are not already collecting. (Hipgnosis has not yet responded to Billboard’s request for information on which catalogs this deal will include and how many.) According to the annual report, “this deal allows [Hipgnosis] to help maximize local Synch markets through [peermusic’s] worldwide offices.”

Merck Mercuriadis and his dog Louis photographed on February 8, 2021 in Los Angeles.

The two new announcements mark the next steps in a years-long plan by the rightsholder to reduce administration costs for its vast catalog — which has grown over the last year to include Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Fleetwood Mac‘s Christine McVie and, most recently, Justin Timberlake. This began with the acquisition of independent publisher Big Deal Music in September 2020, which the company rebranded to Hipgnosis Songs Group, marking their foray into music publishing and in-house administration in the U.S.

Since then, HSG has signed current hitmakers like Normani and begun administering the U.S. income for 32 of the fund’s catalogs, including Red Hot Chili Peppers, McVie, Neil Young, Benny Blanco, Brian Higgins, Itaal Shur, Johnta Austin, Sam Hollander and Tom DeLonge. The company says it anticipates that more of its catalog will move to HSG’s in-house administration in the coming months.

As part of its acquisition of Big Deal Music, Hipgnosis also inherited its joint ventures, including Ricky Reed‘s Nice Life publishing arm, Julian Bunetta and John Ryan‘s The Big Family, Diplo‘s Mad Decent Publishing and more. The rebranded HSG continues to be a third-party administration partner, working with hits like “Truth Hurts” by Lizzo (released under Nice Life’s record label) and “Heat Waves” by Glass Animals, among others.

As of March 31, 2022, 29 of Hipgnosis’ catalogs remain under publishing administration deals with Kobalt Music.

basically; both ranboo and technoblade are socially awkward messes. philza is tired of them but doesnt step in (yet)

technoblade goes home. he sees none of his things have been touched. his house is intact. theres no ugly cobblestone towers. thats all good signs

philza points to the lil nook in the mountain where he wants to make a dog pen and technoblade sees some makeshift shack already constructed

the cow farm causes him to recoil for just a split second but he ignores that

when ranboo first meets technoblade he stutters and basically shoves the New axe of peace he made for techno in his hands, rambles on about getting them more emeralds and how he Swears he didnt touch anything ever

technoblade shows affection through Giving. when ranboo gifts him a new axe to make up for the one that tommy took he is like. he has to take a few moments ok . he leaves ranboo suddenly

from ranboo’s perspective technoblade like. goes completely silent, back straight, doesnt say a word, and then skulks off. ranboo is writing his will out after that

technoblade Cant like. rationalize this right now hes losing his mind so ofc he goes to phil

“philza he gave me an axe. its netherite.” “Oh yeah, he’s been sayi--” “what is he planning he’s plotting something.” “WHAT”

Philza has to convince techno that, no, ranboo isnt using some extreme manipulation tactics against him. and then he has to convince ranboo that No he isnt going to get killed. bonding times :)

no matter how much philza insists that ranboo can take whatever he wants, ranboo Refuses to take any a their things or use anything unless philza basically Shoves it right in his hands. so philza does. constantly

technoblade is trying to Keep Some Distance but like. he’s gotta be nice yknow? so he gifts ranboo things by leaving them in his ‘house’ when he’s away

its always smaller things, like dyes ranboo was talking about getting or food. 

ranboo doesnt even realize its from technoblade he just assumes that he forgot he got it and moves on. technoblade doesnt ever bring it up

phil catches technoblade trying to sneak in and leave something while ranboo is sleeping and he (quietly) yells at him

ranboo tries explaining how eyecontact Feels to him to the both of them Really Anxiously and that it’s like ‘physically uncomfortable’ but technoblade interupts 

‘wait but isnt that normal’

theres a very long awkward silence before technoblade changes the subject completely

philza is Very used to technoblade’s not so human traits (hiding ‘valuables’ away from them, talking to the voices under his breath, distracted by gold easily, a sort of ‘bloodlust’ if hurt, snorts and squeals when he forgets to repress them) but he is Not used to ranboo’s habits

the first one noticed is that ranboo is... not exactly stealing. but he Always seems to want some block in his hand. he doesnt seem to realize it, picking up things, walkin around, fiddling with it, and then putting it down somewhere random

leads to some arguments with techno before they find their enchanting table in the nearby village

Ranboo is Always Aware of when someone looks at him. philza will glance at him from inside techno’s house through the window, and then suddenly ranboo bolts upright and stares directly at him. philza Always jumps out of his skin

once techno watched as ranboo yawned, his entire jaw cracking and stretching open wide to show rows of thin teeth. techno hasnt been the same since

technoblade berates ranboo’s little ‘shack’, sayings its lame and ‘philza probably thinks its ugly’ ranboo just shrugs but one day he returns home late at night to see technoblade Attempting to build an Actual House for him

ranboo clears his throat and technoblade attacks on instinct. philza patches him up and techno says sorry really briefly then leaves. ranboo keeps finding diamonds and golden apples in his house now

sometimes ranboo finds technoblade just laying in the middle of his cow pen. he doesnt question it

ranboo starts writing little things that like. he wouldnt usually write in his memory book. ‘unimportant’ things

moments like times he spent brushing all the dogs in the kennel, brewing potions with phil and techno in near silence together, weird little ‘catchphrases’ techno says, that time he watched technoblade trip over his own cape. little things

it takes a while for technoblade to be Really and truly comfortable around ranboo. and frankly ranboo doesnt even notice any change. philza does

technoblade makes ranboo clothing to match the aesthetics and actually gives it to him, even specifically making it extra warm since ranboo never lived somewhere so cold

philza instantly notices when he stops carrying Any sort of weapon when ranboo is around at home. 

at some point ranboo calls it home for the first time and like. techno’s ears flick in his direction. he’s perked up for the entire walk home. shifting his eyes in ranboo’s direction but not quite

philza cooes over it and pokes fun of techno later that day and technoblade huffs at him but doesnt say anything

[steen-to-live-life]

Yesterday we went to Wellington and I had another fertility test. I have a high pain tolerance but this one hurt.. I tensed up and even said out loud 'ouch'. They 'scrap' your uterus endometrial lining as a biopsy. It starts like a smear, but they go further into the uterus. They move this scraper around for like 12 seconds. It doesn't sound long but fuk it hurt. 12 seconds for $3800 😭. Now it gets sent to japan which is cool.. a bit of my vag ia off to japan 😂.

I'm not sure if anyone's interested but I find it really amazing. This bisopy will detect if the timing we are currently using for embryo transfers is right, or if we need to do it a day earlier or later due to progresterone. Amazing huh! Like for people to naturally conceive with no intervention just blows me away knowing all the tiny things that need to happen to make a baby. Amazing.

Next up: 4 ish week waits for the results of that, I need to have another HSG (dye in the tubes) a few more blood tests, and then we have pretty much exhausted all the tests we can do. If I have any infertile followers whose done other blood tests for recurrent implantation failure please let me know.

Also, I laugh at how many different people have been in my vag.. and not for my own pleasure 😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

[isitmytime]

new things are scary

Tomorrow I go for and HSG test (also referred to as a dye test). I'm nervous because I’m afraid it will hurt I never really liked having anything done in the region (my cervix) after losing a baby and having a D&C. I'm not really nervous about them finding anything wrong I feel my tubes are open and everything is okay, if that is the case we get to move forward with our IUI in a week or two. its so crazy to think I could be pregnant by Christmas! But much like when I found out I was pregnant I am super skeptical, I fell hopeful but also don’t believe it will happen. When I found out I was pregnant last year I almost didn't believe it, there were a lot of stressful things happening in my life at that time that being pregnant didn't seem like reality. I wonder if somtimes that was my body’s way of protecting me from getting to attached, knowing I wouldn't carry to term? The real hard thing about infertility are all the unanswered questions you have and the what ifs, if someone could give me for sure answers or specific dates things would be so much easier. but thats just life I guess and I have to accept that as reality. I feel like I should end this post with something cliche by saying “if your out there reading this you're not alone” but anyone going through this know we are not alone we know there are a lot of other women and couples out there going through this. but for me hearing those things aren't helpful, I know I'm not alone but that doesn’t make me feel any less alone. hearing others stories are nice but again doesn’t make me feel any better about my situation. food for thought I guess.

This Is Me.....

......so I'm new to this .... I'm hoping I can just vent here and also get those feelings out in the universe... because apparently its “bad to supress things.” 

I will keep some details anonymous because .... well the internet you know?

I'm a 35 year old Female from a small town that has eventually over the years turned into a huge over populated town, been here pretty much all my life and seen all the changes ..

I've been with my partner for almost 19 years now and some days it can be a challenge haha  you know how you love them to death but also want to kill them at the same time? now that's love hehe.

We have one child that's 2  and this is my main reason for starting this blog...

see i have infertility.... there i said it out loud .... its not something some women can say out loud or even want to discuss... i feel like it is because the fairy-tale is you get the guy, you get married and you have kids... seems simple right? its the way most little girls thinks it happens... but its isn't reality for some women... and I'm that person. 

We had tried for years .. many years of unprotected sex and nothing, and the fear and numerous thoughts go through your mind of what's wrong with me? or is it him? what if its both of us? so we decided to go get checked... and this is where the long journey started......

we did countless hours of internet searches trying to find “the right dr for us” , we found a fertility clinic and made our first appointment.. i was so scared of the outcome and what the dr will say, she was super nice but between you and me she had no personality haha kind of flat talking which i found a tad funny literally no facial expressions hahahaha but again super nice and understanding.

She sent us both for tests, from blood, scans to sperm to me having a HSG to check to see if my tubes were not blocked (PS OUCH!!!!!) all came back normal ... i knew i had polycystic ovaries but she definitely confirmed it as it never was actually confirmed by my other drs, see my periods were NEVER regular i could get my period from 28 days to 54 days so i could never pick ovulation in my cycles, she also confirmed i have an underactive thyroid and thyroid antibodies so she prescribed me thyroxine to take for the rest of my life.

so after all that we decided to go for IVF and she was happy to help us out and take us on ..

so first day of period came and i started medications seems easy ... not for me!!! i cant swallow tablets at all to save my life haha so definitely something to get use too (ps still to this day im not use to it) once that finished i started a nasal spray day and night, then a couple of weeks later the injections ... i actually found the injections easier then tablets lol i literally gag every time. first scan was due to check the follicles and they were doing great and was on track. i actually had no idea what to expect at this scan, a week went by and another scan was due to see how they were processing .... they were textbook apparently so they scheduled me an egg collection to go ahead with, i was so super nervous as i didn't know what to expect.

the night came where i had my final injection ... the “trigger injection” which helps the potential eggs to mature for collection ... and then the egg collection was to follow.

EGG COLLECTION DAY- omg was i nervous and no idea what to expect as i seen videos on YouTube of the procedure and oh my god it looked like it hurt i was FREAKING out!!! luckily it was nothing like that. i was laying in the hospital bed waiting for them to come get me. they came and wheeled me into the procedure room they were all so nice to me and comforted me to make me feel comfortable... then the dr inserted a cannula in my arm and said ok were administering the drugs now and i should start to feel it... all i remember it the room spinning then nothing haha it was such a weird experience since ive never had any stiches or operations in the past .... it was like i lost time is the only way i could explain it .... hubby was with me in recovery and said do you remember this and that etc. i was like nope haha. the nurse came in and told us we got 11 eggs which was a really good number we were pretty happy with that number she said they will call us tomorrow with the number of how many fertilised. i felt i fair bit sore so i got some pain medications and went home to sleep it off.

to be continued for another day .................

Bitch Boss || J.HS

Pairing : Jung Hoseok X Reader

Genre :  Fluff, tad bit of Angst?

Summary : " Second thing you need to know? My name is Jung Hoseok, and you're mine."

Wordcount: 1.7k

[ A/N: Lmao guys, here I am. Stress writing while I could also be studying. But no. My shit ass just had to stress write for no valuable reason. Anyway, I had this idea with Hobi in a gang au for like two years already and here it finally is. Also, I didn't check my spelling lmao. Enjoy!]

The man in front of you seemed to think the same, because he gulped before chickening out.

You glared at the man in front of you. Hard. Very hard, in fact if glares could kill, the man in front of you would be lying dead on the floor.

" I'll just-" His voice cracked.

He swallowed before clearing it.

" My friend will talk to you." He said before leaving.

You rolled your eyes before going to inspect your nails.

It's been four hours.

Four hours since this rookie gang had caught you. You were pretty sure that you would have no problem getting out of here.

A new man entered the room while you were more intrested in your nails.

" So, princess. There's only a few things you'll need to know. First of all, you're not leaving this place. Ever. Or my side to be more specific." The man smiled.

Way too angelic you decided as you looked up from your nails.

Not leaving his side?

" Second thing you need to know? My name is Jung Hoseok, and you're mine."

-

It's been a few days since you've been living with Hoseok, and so far, so good.

Apparently he was part of Bangtan, one of the most feared gangs in South Korea, and he did not know that you were trained to be an assassin. He tough you were an ordinary girl with a big mouth.

" C' mhere." Hoseok opened his arms in expectations of you running into them.

You raised your brow at him, once again inspecting your nails.

" What is it with you and your nails? Want a manicure or something?" He asked.

You snorted.

" You don't understand women at all do you?" You asked sharply.

" Oh shit, are you on your period? What do you want me to do? I can get you chocolates and stuff. Maybe a heat pack?-"

" Let me go." You asked, more like stated as an order.

The shine in his eyes left, and his smile faded into a thin line.

" No." 

" That's what's wrong with you, Hoseok. Not me. You canmot keep a woman here and expect her to love you." You stated.

You would use your assassin skills, but you couldn't. No matter what happened, the most you would do is knock someone out.

The reason why you haven't full up attacked Hoseok yet was because you couldn't kill, you knew that he wouldn't let you go that easily anyway. And because you could see the hurt little boy underneath the layer of guns and bombs. You knew you had to think trough your plan of escaping.

Meanwhile the look in Hoseok's eyes softened.

" I'm sorry..... Come with me." He ordered and turned around.

Once he realized that you were still seated and not planning to get up anytime soon, he turned back to you and walked over, grabbing your hand and pulling you up.

" Where are we going?" You asked him.

" Training."

-

His training of that afternoon turned out to be much easier than you were used to. Apparently he decided that you should learn the basics for when things go south while he isn't around, you didn't complain about it. 

Today he was going to teach you how to use a gun.

A poor choice really.

" No, you're supposed to- Yeah, like that exactly. How did you know I was going to say that?" He asked.

You gulped but shrugged.

" Well, it's loaded already. Tey to hit the target." Hoseok told you.

Your eyes widen.

The thing was loaded?

An extremely poor choice really.

You turned the gun to him, pointing it directly over his heart.

Hoseok's eyes widen as he didn't expect the move.

" Y/N, don't play around with that. " 

Your eyes sharpened and clicked the safety off.

" Y/N, I'm serious-"

You managed to get him to shut him up by turning the gun and hitting the furthest target straight in the bulls eye.

He turned to look at it before turning back to you.

" There's something I haven't been really honest about Hoseok. I'm not as innocent as I look." You smiled coyly before putting the gun down on the table in front of you and walking away.

" Fuck that was sexy." Hoseok said as he watched you walk away.

He grinned to himself before shaking his head.

" Time to redo that background check."

-

It's been a few months since you've been with Jung Hoseok in his mansion. And suprisingly enough, you didn't hate it. In fact, you were slowly falling in love. It pained you when you realized it. It had started with the little moment back in the training session, and then he started letting you go around the property freely, and up till now he started downright spoiling you. You smiled as you tough of him. 

Your little moment was cut short however as the wall beside you exploded.

Literally exploded.

Your ears were ringing as you tried to get up, but your legs were giving up on you.

" There she is, experiment 0572." Someone said.

You were suprised to hear anything trough your ringing ears.

Your suprise was cut short as your eyes sharpened.

Experiment 0572.

The name you were given as assassin.

The name you had before you ran away.

Before Hoseok decided to take you off the shitty three jobs you had and decided that you were his.

The fear of losing of what you had now managed to get you up on your shaking legs, your hands balling at your sides before you threw the first punch.

A poor decision as you were weakened.

-

" Hoseok! We have serious problems!" Jungkook yelled ad he entered his office.

" Can't be more worse than this stupid gun which needs to be fixed." Hoseok grumbled back.

" It's about Y/N." Jungkook breathed.

Hoseok stopped with what he was doing and turned his full attention to the younger.

" She's taken from your house. I don't know all the details. Just that there was an explosion and these weird lookimg dudes were there and- I don't understand any of it. Just watch this, maybe you do." Jungkook said, slamming a sd cards onto his desk.

" It's the security tape from outside. Yoongi hyung's already searching for the van that appeared in the video." Jungkook said as Hoseok nodded, wasting no time and putting the sd card in his laptop.

The wall blew up and you were catapulted backwards. 

Hoseok sucked in a breath at the sight.

He was caught by suprise when he saw you get up.

" There she is, experiment 0572." A man smirked down at your form.

Hoseok looked at his screen in confusion, experiment 0572?

The man smirked at you and something inside you snapped as you threw a lunch at his face, he was quick to react , throwing a punch right on your sleep, effectively knocking you out.

" This is experiment 0572?" One of the other men in the room asked.

" She's stronger than she looks.I've seen it on tape. Now let's move it before whatever sugar daddy she has comes back home." The man who knocked you out said, and another man unceremoniously threw you in the back of the van.

Hoseok felt rage built up inside him by the sight of someone hurting you. He rewound part of the tape, taking a closer look at the logo on his jacket.

He smirked as he got a clear picture of the tiger on the back of the man's vest.

Hsg.

Hsg was a small rising gang, but not for long.

Because they obviously didn't do their homework right.

You might be some kind of expiriment to them, but you are overall Hoseok's.

And they will certainly not get away with taking what is his.

Hoseok smirked as he called Yoongi.

-

You woke up to the sound of screaming, as if someone was suffering.

A sound you hated.

The sight that came with it was a sight you hate just as much.

There's a lot of blood around you, and a few dead bodies.

Not a pretty sight.

Your stomach wad empty, but if you had any food in it, you were pretty sure that it would have been out by now.

" Princess?" You heard a voice call softly from beside you.

Your eyes lighten up in realization.

Hoseok was here.

He had actually come to save you.

You started mumbling trough the gag that was placed in your mouth.

" I know, I know. I got you." He said as he took the gag off you, holding you in his arms.

You started crying with closed eyes, you weren't sure when the last time was that someone held you.

You especially had never experienced the feeling of being held so secure before.

Your eyes opened again as you took sight of the man in doorway, it was the very man who had knocked you out.

Your eyes widened when you realized he was holding a gun in his hand, and it was aimed right at Hoseok's back.

With a shaky breath you took Hoseok's gun from it's holder.

You felt Hoseok still against you.

" Y/N-"

You clicked the safety off and shot the man.

Twice.

One bullet in both shoulders.

You didn't have it in you to kill him, you couldn't do it.

Hoseok pulled away from you, but didn't let you go.

He took the gun from you and shot the man straight in the head.

" I'll always have you. Thank you for having me." He  wishpered in your hair as he pulled you back into an embrace.
