#one of the patients at the time was a pregnant female who was released and gave birth to a healthy calf in the wild

'pump them full of psychotropic drugs' is a new one for me (posted on a video of orphaned manatees being bottle fed)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That feeling when the psychotropic drugs kick in 😵‍💫 joking aside, it’s pretty pathetic that people still insist on believing this.
As for manatees, very, very few of them are permanently non-releasable, especially when compared with cetaceans. SeaWorld has great success releasing orphaned manatee calves, and most of their manatees on public display are orphans or other rescues getting nice and fat prior to release.

Lost (21) - Let the Sun in
Tumblr media
Tara Carpenter x female Reader
Summary: To anyone on the outside, and to Tara’s friends, you were Tara’s fierce protector, the MMA fighter who’d take anyone on for Tara. The Guard Dog, as Amber called you. You had no idea you’d have to protect her from people who claimed they loved her. It didn’t matter. As long as you and Tara had one another there was nothing you wouldn’t be able to survive.
Story warnings: Scream violence, family issues, trauma, angst, certain sensitive topics
Word count: 2.2k
Story masterlist / First part / Previous part / Next part
-Help me darling, now I'm feeling so lost-
Tara twisted and turned in the bed of Danny’s guestroom. She couldn’t be alone, she couldn’t handle it anymore, so she asked him to move in until you were released. She trusted Danny, he saved your life, he loved Sam, he was patient with Sam and before everything fell apart she was constantly trying to get Sam to take the next step in her relationship with him.
Trusting Danny and feeling safe were two entirely different things and it had nothing to do with Danny. Tara couldn’t feel safe, not without you with her. She turned again, hugging the pillow and pressing her face into your shirt. She took deep breaths, pretending the shirt she was wearing, and the one she placed over the pillow would trick her into thinking you were there, but it wasn’t working. She was cold, all alone for the first time in her life and the time was passing so slowly she thought she would go insane.
Because, as lonely as Tara often was, she was never all alone. Dad left, Sam was still there, and then you came along and she was never alone after that. When you left to prepare for your final matches, Sam was there, and that was it. Now you were locked up and Tara couldn’t even hear your voice, and Sam was still missing.
Instinctively, her hand lowered to her stomach, to the child growing inside of her. “Mom will come back soon, okay? She’ll put her arms around us like she used to, don’t worry. Remember when we got the results? How gently she was holding us?” so, to pass time and hopefully lull herself to sleep she told your child the story yet again.
~X~
The two weeks waiting period was filled with nervous energy, at least for Tara. You on the other hand, you would just randomly drop to your knees and place your hand on Tara’s stomach, saying ‘hi’ to your child.
And right now, you were doing the same thing, crouching in front of Tara and gently gliding your fingers along her stomach and under her shirt as the two of you waited for the doctor to come back with the results. “Hey, Tiny, are you cozy in there?” you teased, making Tara jokingly smack your hand away. ‘Tiny’ was your nickname for your child, because you had no idea if it was a boy or a girl, and you wouldn’t know until the child was born, and so, you went with Tiny. Because it was a baby, so of course it was tiny… “Your mommy is mean, you know?” you grinned at Tara, but sat down next to her, pulling her into your side.
The two of you… calmed down a bit, at least as far as Tara sitting on your lap went. Now that was reserved for cuddling time, and maybe brief moments every now and then, and always in the privacy of your home. And Tara guessed those times would become even less frequent when the child is born. So, instead of sitting on your lap, Tara would just lean on you, hugging you and enjoying how protectively you’d wrap and arm around her as well, just like you were doing now.
The doctor eventually came in, and from the look on her face Tara figured the news were great.
“Congratulations! It was a success, you are officially pregnant miss L/N!” the doctor told the two of you and Tara looked down. She was pregnant. She actually had a living being growing inside of her body. She looked at you, equally in disbelief in and elation, and saw the biggest grin on your face, even bigger than the one you had on your photo with Zack, even bigger than the one you had when the two of you got married, and you just pulled her onto your lap, not caring one bit about where you were.
“Y/N! We’re having a child!” she couldn’t stop her tears and she could feel something warm soaking the back of her shirt, right where your face was. She smiled widely when you wrapped your strong arms around her stomach, hugging her in a way that would prevent anything from touching her stomach without first going through you. Gentle and fiercely protective at the same time, you just kissed the back of her neck.
“We are, Love, we are,” you whispered, and when she looked into your eyes, she nearly choked at how much happiness and love and gratitude she saw in them.
~X~
The story, and her own arms protectively wrapped around your baby, eventually did lull her to sleep. She had to sleep, she had to for your child.
You would come back. You’d never leave her alone, you didn’t when you were in a coma, and you’d come back this time as well. To her and to your child. To your little family.
~X~
Zoom calls weren’t something Chad was used to, but here he was, on one because that was the only way this meeting could have happened.
Despite the situation he smiled when he saw Mindy, Anika, and Kirby’s faces on the screen. They were just waiting for Tara and Danny to join in and soon enough, Danny’s face popped up as well. He looked exhausted, and Chad couldn’t blame him.
“Tara is still sleeping, I figured it was better to let her rest,” he told them before they could ask about Tara.
Chad nodded. If this could be solved without Tara getting involved, then that’s how it should be done, after all, not only was Tara pregnant, but from what Kirby told them earlier… all of this might be too much for her.
“That’s for the better. I really wasn’t sure how to tell her all of this,” Kirby sighed, just as relieved as Chad.
“I don’t think hiding anything from her is smart, even if she is pregnant,” Mindy argued.
“She will find out eventually,” Anika agreed and while Chad understood the logic behind it, he still wanted to keep Tara safe for at least a bit longer.
“That’s the problem for another day. First things first, you three are out of this. Don’t come to New York, don’t get involved, just hide and wait it out,” Kirby began, clearly talking to Chad, Mindy and Anika. “Danny, I’d like to exclude you as well, but,” she trailed off.
“I’m already here and I promised Sam I’d protect Tara,” Danny finished for her and Kirby nodded.
That’s roughly how long it took Chad to fully register what Kirby told him to do. “Now wait just a second, what do you mean don’t come to New York? Tara is our friend, and so are Sam and Y/N, we’re not about to leave them to face these lunatics alone,” he already booked a flight, he would go there and make sure Tara was fine until you were released and Sam came back. Since there was nothing he could do for you or Sam, this was the best thing to do, protect the most important person to you two.
“Chad’s right. If you are sure this is Ghostface again, Tara will need us,” Mindy agreed with him and he could see Anika nodding next to her.
“I owe her for saving my life, and the same goes for Sam and Y/N,” she added.
“The point is, we’re not leaving Tara alone,” Chad finished.
Danny remained silent, but Kirby frowned. “Are the three of you really that naïve? Chad, what happened to Y/N when she went after Ghostface? She was forced to retire, come back to New York looking for a fight and say goodbye to your career,” that shut him up. “Mindy, Anika, you two are in the same boat, you’re just starting out and are already gaining fame and recognition, this is just what someone is waiting for to use against you. Gale was an exception, not the rule. You are adults now, not teenagers caught up in some mess. Come here and everyone will think you’re looking for trouble.”
Chad looked down, deep down he understood Kirby was right, to an extent, but it still felt wrong to just leave Tara alone. They were Core Five, they went through so much together.
“Tara wouldn’t want you to be in danger, and Danny, you especially need to pay attention to what I’m about to say,” Kirby continued and shared her screen, it was a footage from some camera at a location Chad didn’t recognize, but upon Kirby zooming he saw it was someone wearing Ghostface costume with dog painted on the left side of the mask.
“What’s with the change?” Mindy asked, confused by the painted dog.
Kirby sighed. “We’ve identified several different masks, dog, bear, fish, bull, monkey, rhino, and we believe there are more. Several years ago, before Richie and Amber even met, there were rumors of a Ghostface cult emerging, most people didn’t take it seriously, but I did and I’ve been digging around, they’ve existed for almost a decade now, but had insufficient fundings. That, somehow changed and now they are on the loose,” Kirby’s words made Chad’s blood run cold.
“And you want us to leave Tara to deal with all of them with just Danny by her side?!” Mindy slammed her fist against the table before Chad could do the same.
“Yes! Because this cult being active is the least of her troubles, take a good look at this Ghostface,” Kirby zoomed in once again on the figure. “I believe this is Sam, her figure, the brutality of the attacks connected to this Ghostface, the latest victim, it all implies Sam is involved.”
They all remained completely silent, just taking the information in. Kirby had to be wrong. Sam would never become a Ghostface! Sure, she was getting more unstable lately, almost frighteningly so, but to put on the mask? Granted, Tara did say she put the mask on to kill Bailey, but this was entirely different. She wouldn’t do this to Tara! She wouldn’t be involved with you getting arrested, right? Not when you were Tara’s greatest protection, or when Tara was at her most vulnerable.
Kirby just kept adding more and more bad news. “And here’s another thing. Y/N isn’t in jail. She was arrested, was meant to be transferred and during that drive she just vanished. The police was instructed to keep silent to save face, but she disappeared and no one knows how or where it happened,” it felt like each word Kirby was saying only made things worse and worse.
And then the worst-case scenario happened.
“What did you say?” they all heard Tara’s voice.
~X~
“A hero always needs a villain, a twisted mirror, a broken counterpart, someone formidable, someone who can prove that the hero isn’t untouchable! But a hero is more than that! A hero is a symbol! Hero has no face, only a mask, so the legacy can be continued, so that someone else can continue where the previous hero had to stop!” thirteen masks hung from the walls, one for each hero, all of them taken down by the villains.
“What makes Sidney Prescott better than Billy Loomis?! Or Samantha Carpenter better than Richie Kirsch?! Both were made by their victims, villains rising to fame for killing them!” the latest Ghostface exclaimed, his arms spread, blood-soaked knives in each hand. “Not us though! We will show them what a team of heroes can do! We will do what those before us couldn’t! We will fight fire with fire!”
When he finished, the candle shaped lights lit up, revealing a room filled with people wearing Ghostface masks. Including their leader there were twelve of them and they had killed their latest victim. Christina Carpenter’s blood dripped from the table, she paid for her mistake of giving birth to villainous half-sisters.
“Is the fighter still locked up?” the leader asked, coming down from his high
“Yes. She is still the only suspect for her father’s murder,” one of the Ghostfaces, one with a dog painted on the side of the mask, spoke and the leader nodded.
“We need a proper counter for her, only then can we execute her. Ghost-Bear, how is project Ghost-Bird coming along?” the leader demanded.
A Ghostface with bear painted on the mask stood up. “I have found a way to get her to come to the country,” his accent proved he wasn’t originally from the States.
“Good, I entrust that part to you,” the leader nodded.
This was the power of a hero, and this was their right, to worship and follow in the footsteps of their heroes, until the villains were all eradicated.
A/N: This chapter was a bit shorter, I’ll admit, but I’m currently just setting things up, next chapter will start heating things up, so to speak. Anyway, I made the outline, I have the plan, this story will end with chapter 30, so nine chapters to go people. And that’s the final ending. I am going to wrap it up so completely that we can only have side stories in the future. And we will have plenty of side stories (those three I promised, and a lot more), because these two chapters just flowed for me and I couldn’t believe how much I missed writing Tara.

CHICAGO (CBS) -- A total of 300 women filed a lawsuit against a Chicago OB/GYN employed for decades by NorthShore University Health System and Swedish Hospital. 
Fabio Ortega, 77, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing two patients in October 2021. He is now a registered sex offender. He was sentenced to three years in prison time and has been off parole since October of last year.
The civil lawsuit details alleged sex abuse stemming back to the early 1990s, and some of the details are quite disturbing.
"Swedish and NorthShore enabled this sexual predator to abuse hundreds of women for numerous decades," said Parker Stinar, an attorney and founding partner at Stinar Gould Grieco & Hensley.
The lawsuit said Ortega worked at what was then known as Swedish Covenant Hospital between approximately 1989 and 2007. During that time, he had "a pattern or practice of disguising his sexual abuses as necessary medical care through a variety of techniques."
"At all relevant times herein, Ortega was a sexual predator who targeted young women who did not have experience with gynecological examinations, Spanish-speaking patients, pregnant women, Medicare patients, and the underserved patient population because he knew that patients from these populations were less likely to understand that they were being sexually abused," the lawsuit said.
He is accused in the lawsuit of sexually abusing girls as young as 14.
Some of the sexual abuse detailed in the complaint includes claims that Ortega would visit or call his patients outside of work, wouldn't treat them for conditions presented, falsified records, encouraged unnecessary appointments, conducted unnecessary pelvic exams, and asked patients intrusive questions about their sex life.
 "An employee reported to her supervisor that Ortega wasn't just making female patients feel uncomfortable - he was also making the nursing staff feel uncomfortable," said Symone Shinton, partner at Stinar Gould Grieco & Hensley.
The lawsuit said despite the dangers Ortega posed to patients, NorthShore and Swedish continued to present him to the public as a skilled and trustworthy gynecologist – while the complaints were ignored and the sexual abuse was allowed to continue.
"Women reported that Ortega's examinations felt more sexual than medical, but they didn't have the medical expertise to know one way or the other," Shinton said. "Women reported. They reported again and again and again – and each time, they were met with not only disbelief by Swedish and NorthShore – they were told to question their very experiences as women."
Shinton recounted one story from a former patient who is suing. She said this woman had gone to see Dr. Ortega because she had been raped.
"One of our clients found herself in Dr. Ortega's office in 2016 because she required a rape kit. She had just been raped, and she was able to muster the strength to seek medical treatment. NorthShore provided her with Dr. Ortega. In that appointment, Dr. Ortega would conduct a vaginal examination where he attempted to sexually stimulate her with involved fingers. He would conduct a breast examination where he fondled her for no medical purpose," said Shinton, "and this miracle of a woman still managed to walk outside of that medical examination room and ask the front desk if what happened to her was medically necessary – 'I don't understand why I needed a breast examination.' NorthShore told her that's how he is. It's normal."
Endeavor Health responds to sex abuse claims
A spokesperson for Endeavor Health said the health system couldn't respond to direct questions about the case due to pending legal matters and patient privacy, but did release this statement:
"As a healthcare provider, there is nothing more important than providing a safe and trusted environment for our patients, community and team members. It's a responsibility we take very seriously. We have absolutely no tolerance for abuse of any kind. "We recognize the tremendous strength and courage it takes for survivors of abuse to come forward. We believe trust is earned, and we will always look for opportunities to demonstrate our commitment to the highest standards of safety and quality in our care. We have enhanced and continue to improve and evolve our processes and policies to ensure we have an environment that supports reporting of threatened or actual abuse. Our policies require we investigate all allegations of abuse that are reported to us, take prompt action in all matters and fully cooperate with law enforcement. "We have focused on reviewing individual claims and are committed to engaging in a process that allows for meaningful review and response to each person impacted. "Due to pending legal matters and patient privacy, we are unable to comment on any specific case or allegations."
A key point was made in the complaint that was not addressed by the hospital system. Specifically, Ortega was allowed to continue to practice medicine unsupervised while the criminal investigation that landed him in jail continued. During that time, he is accused of sexually abusing *more patients who are represented in the lawsuit.
The Illinois Department of Corrections said Ortega was placed on mandatory supervised release, or parole, on Oct. 28, 2022, and was discharged from parole on Oct. 27, 2023.
Ortega's medical license was revoked, and he can no longer practice medicine.
CBS 2 has other questions for the State of Illinois that were still pending late Tuesday.

What Are The Common Symptoms of Endometriosis?
Tumblr media
Endometriosis is more common than you believe. It is a complex and often misunderstood condition affecting up to 10% of women aged between 15 and 44. Despite its prevalence, this health condition usually goes undiagnosed or misdiagnosed due to its diverse array of symptoms. Hence, it is vital to understand these symptoms for early detection and effective management of endometriosis.
Based on the insights from a known gynecologist in Juhu, Dr. Chaitali Mahajan Trivedi, this blog will help you determine the common symptoms of endometriosis for effective treatment planning. So, let’s embark on this journey together to create more awareness about endometriosis.
What Do You Understand By Endometriosis?
Endometriosis is identified as a disorder in which the tissue similar to the lining of your uterus grows outside of it. In medical terms, the lining of your uterus is called endometrium. Endometriosis occurs when endometrial-like tissue grows on your bowel, ovaries, and tissues lining your pelvis. When endometrial-like tissue grows outside your uterus, it is called an endometrial implant.
The expected hormonal changes of your menstrual cycle affect the misplaced endometrial-like tissue, causing the affected area to become inflamed and painful. It indicates that the tissue will grow, thicken, and break down. Over time, when the tissue has broken down and nowhere to go, it becomes trapped in your pelvis.
What Are The Common Symptoms of Endometriosis?
The symptoms of endometriosis vary from one woman to another. Some may experience mild symptoms, but others can have mild to severe. However, the common endometriosis symptoms may include the following:
When the tissue gets trapped in your pelvis, you may notice:
Irritation
Scar formation
Fertility issues
Severe pain occurs during the menstrual cycle
Adhesions in which tissue binds your pelvic organs together
Other symptoms:
Pain during sexual intercourse
Heavy menstrual bleeding or bleeding between periods
Lower back pain that may occur during menstrual cycle
Cramps for 1 to 2 weeks around menstruation
Infertility
Painful periods
Fatigue that won’t go away
Diarrhea or constipation
Blood in your stool or urine
What Can Be The Causes of Endometriosis?
Endometriosis can affect you due to:
Surgical scar implantation
Embryonic cell transformation
Endometrial cell transport
Immune system disorder
Transformation of peritoneal cell
Retrograde menstruation
How Is Endometriosis Diagnosed?
To diagnose the condition, the patient is generally asked to describe her symptoms, including the location of the pain and where it occurs. The final diagnosis is based on:
Ultrasound
Pelvic exam
Laparoscopy
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
What Are The Treatment Options For Endometriosis?
Treatment depends on the severity of signs and symptoms and whether you are planning to get pregnant in the future. The treatments available for endometriosis are:
Hormone therapy
Pain medication
Hormonal contraceptives
Progestin therapy
Aromatase inhibitors
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists & antagonists
Conservative surgery
Fertility treatment
Hysterectomy with removal of ovaries
Final Words
Endometriosis is a chronic condition, and the exact cause of it is still unknown. Right now, it does not have any proper cure, but with the help of various treatment options, you can manage its side effects and complications like pain and fertility issues.
So, if you are also dealing with endometriosis right now and searching for the best Cosmetic Gynaecologist In Juhu, in that case, you can end your research with Dr. Chaitali Mahajan Trivedi at Nanavati Superspeciality Hospital. She has over twenty-six years of experience and is a dedicated female cosmetic gynaecologist who has successfully changed thousands of womens life successfully. So, if you also want to clear all your doubts regarding endometriosis, consult her and visit Nanavati Superspeciality Hospital in Juhu, Mumbai, today!

The Future of Fertility: India's Top-Ranked IVF Clinics
Tumblr media
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment designed to increase the likelihood of pregnancy for couples struggling to conceive. This procedure involves directly placing washed and concentrated sperm into the uterus of a person with female anatomy, bypassing the usual journey from the vagina through the cervix, and into the fallopian tubes. As a relatively noninvasive and less expensive option compared to in vitro fertilisation (IVF), IUI may be the only treatment needed for some couples to achieve pregnancy.
Who can benefit from IUI?
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a relatively noninvasive and less-expensive fertility treatment compared to more invasive and costly treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF). In some cases, couples may begin with IUI before progressing to IVF if needed. IUI may be the only treatment needed to achieve pregnancy for certain couples who have had difficulty getting pregnant.
Scenarios where IUI is most commonly used
Unexplained infertility
Mild endometriosis
Issues with the cervix or cervical mucus
Low sperm count
Decreased sperm motility
Issues with ejaculation or erection
Same-sex couples wishing to conceive
Single women wishing to conceive
Couples wanting to avoid passing on a genetic defect from the male partner to the child
Cases where IUI is not effective
Women with moderate to severe endometriosis
Women who have had both fallopian tubes removed or have both fallopian tubes blocked
Women with severe fallopian tube disease
Women who have had multiple pelvic infections
Men who produce no sperm (unless the couple wishes to use donor sperm)
In situations where IUI isn't recommended, another treatment such as IVF may be helpful. If you wish to discuss options for conceiving, your doctor can help determine the best course for you.
The IUI Procedure
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a relatively painless and noninvasive fertility treatment that can be performed using a male partner's sperm or donor sperm. The procedure can be done in a natural cycle or combined with ovarian stimulation to increase the chances of pregnancy.
Natural Cycle vs. Ovarian Stimulation
In a natural cycle, a woman ovulates naturally and has the sperm placed at a doctor's office around the time of ovulation. In contrast, IUI can also be combined with ovarian stimulation, where medications such as clomiphene citrate (Clomid), hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin), and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) may be used to prompt the ovaries to mature and release an egg or multiple eggs. Ovulation with more than one egg usually increases the chance of pregnancy.
Typical Timeline for IUI Process
Each medical facility and doctor will have their own specific instructions for the IUI procedure. After your initial consultation, when you and your physician have determined that IUI is the best course to pursue, a typical timeline may include the following:
Several office visits while on your period for blood work, ultrasounds, and medication instructions
Starting prescribed medications while on your period, if necessary
Another ultrasound and possibly blood work about a week after starting the medication
Return to the clinic for insemination, typically 10 to 16 days after starting the medications
Male partner provides a semen sample on the day of the procedure, or donor sperm is thawed
Sperm Preparation and Washing
Before the insemination, the sperm are taken to a lab where they are "washed." This process removes the seminal fluid and other debris, leaving the sperm very concentrated and less likely to irritate the uterus.
Insemination Procedure and Post-Insemination Care
The IUI procedure is quick and typically painless, not requiring anesthesia. The patient lies on an exam table, and the doctor uses a speculum to gently open the vagina and visualize the cervix. The sperm are passed through the cervix and placed into the uterus using a long, very thin tube. The patient remains reclined on the exam table for 10 to 30 minutes following the insemination.
Most women experience little to no discomfort, although some may experience mild uterine cramping or vaginal bleeding following the procedure. Some practices perform a second insemination the following day, and some also prescribe progesterone to take after the procedure and through the early stages of pregnancy if pregnancy is achieved.
Pregnancy Test Timing After IUI Procedure
You can take a pregnancy test two weeks after the IUI procedure the treatment has been successful.
Comparing IUI with other fertility treatments
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment where sperm are placed directly into a woman's uterus, increasing the likelihood of pregnancy for certain couples who have had difficulty getting pregnant. However, other fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), may be more suitable for couples with more complex fertility issues.

Women with severe fallopian tube disease
Women who have had multiple pelvic infections
Men who produce no sperm (unless the couple wishes to use donor sperm)
In situations where IUI isn't recommended, another treatment such as IVF may be helpful. If you wish to discuss options for conceiving, your doctor can help determine the best course for you.
The IUI Procedure
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a relatively painless and noninvasive fertility treatment that can be performed using a male partner's sperm or donor sperm. The procedure can be done in a natural cycle or combined with ovarian stimulation to increase the chances of pregnancy.
Natural Cycle vs. Ovarian Stimulation
In a natural cycle, a woman ovulates naturally and has the sperm placed at a doctor's office around the time of ovulation. In contrast, IUI can also be combined with ovarian stimulation, where medications such as clomiphene citrate (Clomid), hCG (human Chorionic Gonadotropin), and FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) may be used to prompt the ovaries to mature and release an egg or multiple eggs. Ovulation with more than one egg usually increases the chance of pregnancy.
Typical Timeline for IUI Process
Each medical facility and doctor will have their own specific instructions for the IUI procedure. After your initial consultation, when you and your physician have determined that IUI is the best course to pursue, a typical timeline may include the following:
Several office visits while on your period for blood work, ultrasounds, and medication instructions
Starting prescribed medications while on your period, if necessary
Another ultrasound and possibly blood work about a week after starting the medication
Return to the clinic for insemination, typically 10 to 16 days after starting the medications
Male partner provides a semen sample on the day of the procedure, or donor sperm is thawed
Sperm Preparation and Washing
Before the insemination, the sperm are taken to a lab where they are "washed." This process removes the seminal fluid and other debris, leaving the sperm very concentrated and less likely to irritate the uterus.
Insemination Procedure and Post-Insemination Care
The IUI procedure is quick and typically painless, not requiring anesthesia. The patient lies on an exam table, and the doctor uses a speculum to gently open the vagina and visualize the cervix. The sperm are passed through the cervix and placed into the uterus using a long, very thin tube. The patient remains reclined on the exam table for 10 to 30 minutes following the insemination.
Most women experience little to no discomfort, although some may experience mild uterine cramping or vaginal bleeding following the procedure. Some practices perform a second insemination the following day, and some also prescribe progesterone to take after the procedure and through the early stages of pregnancy if pregnancy is achieved.
Pregnancy Test Timing After IUI Procedure
You can take a pregnancy test two weeks after the IUI procedure the treatment has been successful.
Comparing IUI with other fertility treatments
Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a fertility treatment where sperm are placed directly into a woman's uterus, increasing the likelihood of pregnancy for certain couples who have had difficulty getting pregnant. However, other fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), may be more suitable for couples with more complex fertility issues. In this section, we will explore the differences between IUI and IVF the progression from IUI to IVF if needed.
IUI as a less invasive and less expensive option
IUI is considered a relatively noninvasive and less-expensive fertility treatment compared to more invasive and costly treatments like IVF. In some cases, couples may begin with IUI before progressing to IVF if needed. IUI may be the only treatment needed to achieve pregnancy for certain couples with unexplained infertility, mild endometriosis, or other issues.
In vitro fertilisation (IVF) for more complex fertility issues
IVF is a more advanced fertility treatment that involves fertilising the egg with sperm outside the body before transferring the embryo back into the uterus. IVF may be recommended for couples with more complex fertility issues or when IUI has not been successful. Factors such as endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, or male partners who produce no sperm (unless using donor sperm) may make IVF a more suitable option than IUI.
Progression from IUI to IVF if needed
complex fertility issues or when IUI has not been successful. Factors such as endometriosis, blocked fallopian tubes, or male partners who produce no sperm (unless using donor sperm) may make IVF a more suitable option than IUI.

Best IVF Centre In Delhi
Many women who suffer from PCOS worry about becoming pregnant. PCOS is one of the most frequent conditions among women who are trying to conceive. Females with this disorder have higher levels of masculine hormones. Ovulation can be hampered by this hormone imbalance. Although PCOS might make it more difficult to conceive, there are options for women to increase their fertility. Read these tips to boost fertility in women suffering from PCOS:
Medication
Ovulation can be hampered by high amount of male hormones. A woman will not be able to conceive if a healthy egg is not released at ovulation. Without the use of ovulation medicines, many women with PCOS are unable to conceive. These drugs can assist a woman in ovulating and becoming pregnant. Women can consult with a doctor or a fertility specialist to determine the optimum dose and type of medicine for them.
It’s crucial to find what weight is healthy for your body
Many women find that losing 10% of their body weight improves their hormones and ovulation. A woman’s menstrual cycle, insulin resistance, and general fertility can all be improved with just a 5% weight loss. According to one study, women who exercised on a regular basis had a 5% reduced chance of infertility than women who did not exercise at all. Overexercising, on the other hand, can increase inflammation in the body, which is harmful to fertility. Aim to exercise at a moderate intensity 3–5 times a week for the best effects.
Manage Stress
Keeping stress at bay when suffering with infertility can be difficult. Long-term stress, on the other hand, can have a negative effect on hormones and fertility. Cortisol levels rise when people are under a lot of stress, which might lead to an increase in insulin. Talk therapy, meditation, exercise, and connecting with loved ones may be beneficial to people who are stressed.
Try ART
Women may benefit from assisted reproductive technologies (ART), such as In Vitro Fertilization, if ovulation drugs do not increase fertility (IVF). According to studies, women with PCOS who undergo IVF treatment had the same success rates as women who do not have the condition. Typically, doctors will begin by recommending drugs and lifestyle modifications to improve fertility, and if these measures fail, ART will be recommended.
Keep Surgical options open
If alternative treatment options fail, surgical procedures to increase fertility are available for women with PCOS. Ovarian drilling is a surgical procedure used to induce ovulation. Despite the fact that ovarian drilling is not always essential, research has shown that up to 50% of women who undergo the procedure are able to become pregnant within the first year after the procedure.
Don’t Give up!
Though the illness can make pregnancy more difficult, it is not impossible to have a baby, and women should not give up hope. Women with PCOS who want to get pregnant should speak with a doctor about diagnosis and treatment options.

Semen Analysis Test in Bangalore
The most effective method for determining male infertility is sperm analysis. Usually suggested for couples who are having trouble getting pregnant.
During ejaculation, the penis releases a thick fluid known as sperm. The genetic material necessary for reproduction is carried by sperm, which is contained in sperm. Males and anyone who produces sperm may be more likely to experience infertility if they have certain sperm-related issues. When couples have trouble getting or keeping a baby, they have infertility. 10% of people who produce sperm may be infertile or have trouble getting pregnant with a partner.
A series of tests that evaluate both sperm and sperm is called a semen analysis. A semen analysis may be ordered by a doctor for a variety of reasons, including to determine if a vasectomy was successful or to assess fertility.
Semen Analysis Test in Bangalore - The best and highly recommended hospital is Motherhood Hospital
A semen analysis can be ordered by a doctor in several different situations. The evaluation of a man's fertility or that of anyone who produces sperm is the most common reason for ordering this test.
The difficulty in becoming pregnant or carrying a child to term is known as infertility. A disease or health condition that affects the reproductive tract in one or both partners can result in infertility.
A semen analysis is typically the first test ordered to detect fertility issues in people who produce sperm, following a physical exam and medical history. A doctor may recommend additional testing or medical treatment to improve fertility based on the results of this test.
The evaluation of the outcomes of a vasectomy is yet another objective of semen analysis. A vasectomy is an operation to stop sperm from entering the sperm. Doctors can ensure that a person is no longer fertile by conducting a semen analysis around three months after a vasectomy. Sperm is not found in the sperm.
An infertility evaluation is a test to see if a person can conceive. A person's age, medical history, and the results of a physical exam all play a role in when a doctor recommends an infertility evaluation.
Semen Analysis Test in Bangalore - The best and highly recommended hospital is Motherhood Hospital
If a couple has been having frequent unprotected sex for more than a year or more than six months and the female partner or partner with a uterus is older than 35 years old, infertility testing may be recommended. For couples who are interested in testing but are concerned about their fertility, doctors may also recommend a semen analysis.
A semen analysis is typically carried out approximately three months after a patient has undergone surgery to assess whether or not the vasectomy was successful.
Cost of Semen Analysis Test in Bangalore at Motherhood Hospital Costs vary depending on where the test is done, whether other tests are done at the same time, and whether your health insurance plan covers the semen analysis. Consult with the team, your insurance provider, and/or the medical facility where the test is carried out if you have questions about the cost of infertility testing or sperm analysis.
A sperm analysis typically yields results within a few business days. You might get a call from your doctor with the results of the tests or be asked to make an appointment to talk about them in person. You can also get your results from a secure online platform or website.
Interpreting test results in Doctors at Motherhood Hospital Bangalore take into account your health history, the results of a physical exam, and the results of other tests to understand fertility.
In a semen analysis, each measurement reveals whether or not fertility issues are present. Typically, your sperm analysis is compared to reference limits. These reference limits have been established by analyzing the sperm of couples whose pregnancies were successful.

What is INFERTILITY?
 It is a simple question but having a lot of ramifications in a couple’s life. Inability to conceive after one year of regular relationship & intercourse without the use of any contraception is infertility. Many couples don’t know when to go for medical help because of either ignorance, feeling of shame or fear.
But medical science has so much advanced nowadays that almost any couple can have a baby by some or the other treatment, which sometimes can be prolonged. Infertility is the illness in the reproductive system part of a female or a male body which is described by the failure to detect gets a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of normal unsafe sexual intercourse. Infertility means inability, incapability, or incapacity to release a child. It may be either on the side of the male or the female or both.
It is infertility which mostly refers to the spouses who can performing sexual intercourse but are incapable to give birth to a child.
In short, both the terms infertility and sterility mean the inability to conceive after one year of sexual life without using any contraception when the spouse gets worried about a baby. India is in a different position in the world for the infertility problem because of multiple reasons. The overall rate of infertility is 10-14 percent which is a population of over 130 crore translates into a very huge number.
Environmental factors such as pollution, artificial preservatives in food, pesticides, smoke, plastic, and a large number of pollutants affect the very basis of fertility. It can cause significant abnormalities in sperm parameters and egg quality.
Workplace & social stress is coming up as a huge setback of couples trying to get a baby by hampering sexual function & hormonal problems. A sedentary lifestyle, obesity, lack of exercise goes a long way in the overall health of couples. Reproductive tract infections, chronic pelvic disease, use of alcohol & smoking are hampering the fertility potential of a couple.
Tumblr media
Moreover the couples because of their busy lifestyle, lack of domestics & family support are not able to take consultation & proper treatments early so as to get a better result. Timely treatment & a consistently positive attitude to take the treatment is very crucial for pregnancy. In the era when Indian women are aging 5 years as fast as western women because of genetic & environmental issues, starting early treatment is very essential. We at Orion IVF have a team of professionals who are well equipped to take care of your infertility issues. We take the treatment to a whole new level by taking your medical history, your work shifts resources available into consideration; make a special plan for you to get quick pregnancy.

Doctor's Orders
pairing: gynecologist!harry x reader/doctor!harry x reader
word count: 2.3k+
warnings: smut, fingering
this is so long overdue i apologize but this is a request! i kinda love this piece so i hope you guys do too!
PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU ENJOY
Tumblr media
You sucked in a harsh breath as you heard your name being called from the front desk, the smiley old lady gesturing for you to follow her. You timidly walked behind her, your feet shuffling on the obnoxiously patterned carpet that lined the hallways.
You aren’t one to fear doctor’s appointments, in fact, you have never been apprehensive about going to one until right now. This appointment was something you’ve been avoiding for a while since you had moved to London, but there came a point where you couldn’t put it off for any longer. Back in the states, you were comfortable with your gynecologist, and you had no issue talking to her about problems you were having regarding your genitalia. But now that you were in a new city, you didn’t have the comfort that came with visiting a long-term doctor and faced new ones for the first time since you were a child. The rest of the doctor’s visits were pretty standard, but your private parts were something you struggled with understanding, Sure, you have seen porn and had sex, but it was never a fulfilling experience. In fact, you have never reached an orgasm. About a year ago you gave up on looking for men to help you and made it a mission to bring yourself to a climax. But alas, none of your efforts seemed to work. At this point, you were convinced that something was wrong with you, hence the gynecologist visit. Male gynecologist, that is.
Over the past month, you have spent a lot of time researching gynecologists in your area. The first one that came up was the one you are at now, but considering his gender you continued your hunt. But it kept leading you back to this one doctor, Dr. Styles, and that was why you are currently sitting in an exam room in his office.
You reassured yourself by looking up his name on your smartphone, scrolling through the 5-star reviews. The number of people who seemed to absolutely love this guy helped settle your nerves, so you read through them as you waited for a knock on the door.
That knock finally arrived a few minutes later, and you picked your head up and looked at the wooden door. “Come in!”
A head popped inside from behind the door as it was pushed open, and the doctor’s eyes found yours while he made his way into the small room. He’s tall, with a mop of chocolate brown curls on his head and bright green eyes accompanied by a friendly smile. He sat down, eyes never leaving yours until he placed his computer down and the screen lit up.
“‘Ello Darlin, m’Dr. Styles, but y’can call me Harry if you’d like.” He stuck out a hand, and your palm swiftly met his, the two of you looking at one another as you shook hands. His hands were enormous, and the rings placed on his fingers were cold to the touch. “Considering you’re a new patient, I took a peek at y’records and such, and I saw that y’ve always had a female gyno.”
You nodded your head slowly, opening your mouth to respond but getting cut off by Dr. Styles. “So I just wanted t’let y’know tha’ theres nothing t’be ashamed off, and I know what I’m doin’ so I promise you’re in expert hands.”
“Yeah, I was nervous, but I couldn’t ignore the amazing reviews people have given you, so I made an appointment.” You appreciated his reassurance a lot, and it really helped in the easing of your jitters. He turned back to his computer after nodding in response to you, clicking on a few keys before diverting his attention back to you.
“So what seems t’be the problem today Y/N?” An initial wave of shock hit you when he said your name, but it quickly dissolved when you remembered that he literally has access to all your medical information, so of course, he knows your name.
“This is a bit of an odd thing to come in for on my first appointment with you, but I think my vagina doesn’t work.” You let out a breathy chuckle at your own words. Dr. Styles seemed unphased by your forwardness, and you assumed he had heard a lot more abrasive things than that. “I’m a 22-year-old woman, but I’ve never had an orgasm. For the past year I’ve been focusing on doing it without a partner, but no matter how much time I spent or how many fancy toys I buy, I just end up feeling unsatisfied and disappointed.” He nodded along as you explained your issue, placing his chin in his hand while his elbow was placed on the desk.
“Have y’had any STD tests recently?”
“Yes, I had one last week, I’m clean and I’ve never had one in the past.”
“Is there any possibility tha’ you’re pregnant?”
“No, I haven’t slept with anyone in over a year.” You knew what questions he would ask, so to avoid wasting time you were giving him all the information he would need.
“When y’are sleeping with someone, do y’feel any sort of pleasure?”
“Yeah, but it’s just never enough, I guess.” His lips curled into an expression of concentration, and he pressed his tongue against the inside of his cheek. The room was silent for all of around 30 seconds, but soon enough Dr. Styles spoke up.
“Based on yeh’ history and what y’telling me, it seems that y’just haven’t found the right bloke.” Your eyebrows lifted in surprise at his simple answer. It couldn’t be that simple, could it? “M’guessing y’can’t get y’self off cause’ y’tense and not fully relaxed. And the guys y’ve been with ave’all been doin’ a rubbish job.” He chuckled along with you, and you couldn’t help but agree with him. There was no one you could think of that had actually made you feel good the entire time and had actually focused on your pleasure and theirs. Most of the hookups you took part in were with frat boys who would stick their dick into anything with a hole. “But just in case, lemme’ check y’out just to make sure.”
He stood up from his chair and you swung your legs up on the cot, laying down on it. While you had waited for the doctor, you changed into the gown you were provided with, so there was only a thin piece of fabric between you and the curly-headed man that had taken a seat at the end of the seat.
It was now that you were faced with a dilemma that your anxious brain hadn’t even thought of prior to the appointment.
Dr. Styles was attractive. Like, really, really attractive.
Dr. Styles was attractive. Like, really, really attractive. And probably because of the nature of your discussion (and the fact that your body is severely desperate for sexual release), your core had been heating up since he first stepped into the room. So now, he would lift the skirt of the gown and see a pool of velvety wetness coating the inside of your thighs.
The back of the seat was propped up, allowing you to see him. This was a good thing for him because he could talk to you while he does his job, but it means you will have to look at him after he sees the mess you’ve made.
“May I?” His fingers gripped onto the edges of the gown, and you swallowed hoarsely before nodding your approval. While you know that he probably has witnessed much more embarrassing situations than the one you were in right now, it didn’t make the predicament any better. As you suspected, he kept a straight face when he lifted the flimsy material from your legs. Without taking a second glance, he turned to a bottle on his desk and pumped a dollop of lube onto his glove-clad fingertips. He used his other gloved hand to spread the lubricant, only turning back to you when his two fingers were both well coated in the substance. “Y’alright?” Once again, you nodded at his question. “Tell me with words darlin’, wanna make sure y’comfortable.”
“Yeah, I’m fine. What kind of exam are you doing exactly?” That question popped into your mind right before it rolled off your tongue because you noticed he had never specified exactly what he was looking for.
“M’just gonna use m’finger,” he held his lube-covered fingers, “and feel around, just t’make sure everythins’ fine.”
“Ok, sounds good.”
“M’gonna start now, s’gonna be cold at first.”
You hissed when his fingers met your sopping hole, and you had to resist the urge to kick your legs while he slowly pushed his fingers inside of you. The feeling was strange, but definitely not unwelcome. The contrast from his icy fingers to your warm center was sending a tingling sensation down your spine. You could feel his fingers push around inside of you, caressing your walls. And you know you shouldn’t. But his fingers were hitting all the right nerves, and you couldn’t help but find the experience immensely pleasurable.
Despite your best efforts, a small moan of satisfaction escaped your lips. Immediately, you went stiff, and you could feel the heat rushing to your cheeks. You just moaned while your doctor had his fingers inside you. For a moment you thought he would ignore the sexual noise that you had just made. But he suddenly looked up at you, his eyes previously locked on his fingers.
“Well, if y’moanin’ just from that, y’more sexually deprived than I thought.” He chuckled, and you cracked a small smile, but that was before his words actually hit you.
Was he, hitting on you?
Maybe not flirting, but that definitely wasn’t something that doctors say to their patients very often. His smirk was also giving you the idea that he had certain intentions.
“Everything seem good down’ere, so I think tha’ problem is with the guys y’gettin with, not you. What type of people do y’usually sleep with.”
“When I was sexually active, it was usually frat boys, so I guess I should’ve known I wasn’t the problem.” You let out a small laugh, Dr. Styles seems to have found it much more amusing, as his chuckle came from deep within his chest. A small movement came with the laugh, which also reminded you that his fingers were still very much inside of you.
“It seems y’need someone who knows his way around,” he cleared his throat, and you smiled as you realized what he was hinting at. “and y’my last paitent of the day, so m’more than happy t’help y’out.” He looked down at his feet shyly, and you found it adorable how he was nervous about what he was proposing. But you were on the verge of tears from how hard it was to hold back your physical response to his touches. Your body relaxed when the words came out of his mouth, and you let out the whine that had been building up in your throat.
“Yes-Harry, god yes.” It was the first time you were using his first name, but the smirk on his face showed his approval.
He quickly removed his fingers from your heat, and you whined again, this time in frustration. Losing contact left you feeling cold, but that feeling only lasted a fleeting moment, as soon as he was pushing his fingers into you again, this time bare.
“Y’already so wet love, what got y’this worked up hmm?”
“Y-you, Harry, I want you.” You tripped over your words, but they came out clear enough for him to understand because he began moving his fingers at the encouragement. His fingers began to pump in and out of you, and you knew he must have been right about not being with the right guys before, because the simple movements left you as putty in his hands. You barely got any pleasure from fingering in your other sexual encounters, but you were already a moaning mess underneath the man. He lifted his other hand, which had also had the glove on it removed, and placed the pad of his finger on your puffy clit. You mewled loudly and his smirk widened.
“Any o’those boys ever make y’feel this good darlin’?” You shook your head furiously, and he smiled, rubbing circles on your sensitive bundle of nerves. You were already seeing stars, and you could feel an unfamiliar knot forming in your stomach. “Y’so pretty, did y’know tha’?”
You couldn’t muster up enough strength to respond to his second question, but the loud moan that you let out was enough of an answer for him. His movements sped up, fingers pumping in and out of you and his other thumb pressing circles on your button.
“Harry-”
“Think y’close darlin’? Ready t’come fo’ the first time?”
“Yes, yes..” Your voice trailed off when a guttural moan rumbled through your throat. Although you haven’t had one before, you were sure that he was about to bring you to an orgasm. There was a tight feeling in your stomach and you knew it was just about to burst.
“Fuck-”
The knot burst and your orgasm rolled through your body, reaching every nerve inside of you. The feeling was euphoric, and your senses were heightened as your body experienced this new feeling.
“Thas’ it, good girl,” he cooed, slowing his movements and removing his fingers from your now overly sensitive clit. He worked you through your orgasm until fully removing his fingers from you, and you let out a sigh as he did so. “Definitely not somethin’ wrong with ya’, I can tell y’that.”
He smiled up at you and you returned the gesture, your smile only faltering when he turned away to write something down. You took the opportunity to get up and change, quickly dressing while his back was turned.
He turned in his chair to face you once again, handing you a small piece of paper. You took it from between his fingers to see a phone number scribbled on it in black ink.
“Is Doctor Styles giving me his number?” You said it in a cheeky way, smirking back at him.
“Yes, and he’s telling you to text him when you get home. Doctor’s orders.”

Uncommon Bnha Omegaverse Headcanons
[Long post]
First off I’d like to say I’m not exactly sure what is agreed on for the deltas and sigma's? So any hard facts about them is greatly appreciated. I’m pretty well educated on the regular Alpha/Beta/Omega but these will include Alpha/Gamma/Delta/Beta/Sigma/Omega (?) we’re gonna go with that order
Tumblr media
First off lets go through what is what
Alpha’s - Dominate, protective, Go through ruts and can Impregnate Sigma’s, Omega’s, and sometime Betas. They tend to be leaders and can induce heats in Omegas and a sometimes induce ruts. They can’t get pregnant. [Female alphas have a retractable pennies and external female organs (breasts and such)] They have scent glands and can smell others scents. They can also mark Omegas and Sigma's with retractable fangs and form a bond. They also have knots. Are affected by Omega’s and Sigma’s heats.  Can scent things.
Gamma’s - Submissive, Protective but more patient, Go through ruts but more aren’t as aggressive. They don’t like fighting as much and would much rather love on everyone then fight. they’re not as stubborn and way more gentle. They have a scent and scent glands but have a much harder time picking up on others scents. Aren’t affected by Omega’s and Sigma’s heats and don’t induce Heats or ruts.  They can’t get pregnant. [Female Gammas have a retractable pennies and external female organs (breasts and such)]  They can also mark Omegas and Sigma's with retractable fangs and form a bond. They also have knots.  Can scent things.
Delta’s - Dominate beta, Calming, Just as aggressive as Alphas though. Their body is the same as a Beta (same as a regular human being) their scent is a little more potent then Beta’s but can’t induce heats or ruts. Aren’t affected by Omega’s and Sigma’s heats. They get on Alphas nerves a lot but are second to Alpha’s and around the same placements as Gamma’s. Basically scent blind but their scent is calming to Omegas. Males can rarely get pregnant even if they have the internal organs for it. Males can only impregnate other Deltas or Betas. Can’t mark/bound with anyone and males don’t have knots. 
Beta’s - Natural, Level headed, and Patient. Don’t go through heats or ruts and females have a regular menstrual cycle. Males can only impregnate other Deltas or Betas and can’t get pregnant. Females can only get pregnant by Deltas or Betas (that have a dick) and can’t impregnate others.  Can’t mark/bound with anyone and males don’t have knots. They don’t have scent glands and are scent blind, but have a faint scent.
Sigma’s - Aggressive, releases fear in alphas while calming Omegas. Biological have the same body as Omegas and are just as weak. Don’t need to nest as much as Omegas and heats are easier on them then Omegas. They can get pregnant by Alphas & Gammas. They have scent glands and can bound and be marked by Alphas & Gammas. Males have internal organs that allow them to get pregnant but look like regular Beta/Delta when it comes to their external reproductive organs. They tend to be more dominate but can be Submisive at certain points. Can produce slick. Their Scent can put Alphas into ruts. As children tend to fight Alphas just like Alphas fight with other Alphas. Can scent things.
Omega’s - Submisive, Tend to be the caretaker. Go through Heats and nesting is a regular in their life that is a need to them. Their heat does affect Alphas and can send them into a rut. Their scent tends to be sweeter and  Males have internal organs that allow them to get pregnant. They are weaker then Alphas and tend to avoid conflict. Can produce slick.  They have scent glands and can bound and be marked by Alphas & Gammas. Can scent things.
______________________________________________________________
Now onto the Placements
Alpha’s - Todoroki, Momo, Iida, and Mina
Gamma’s - Kirishima, Shoji, and Tokoyami
Delta’s - Shinso, Sato, and Ojiro
Beta’s - Mineta, Hagakure, Sero, and Jiro
Sigma’s - Bakugou, Uraraka, and Kaminari
Omega’s - Aoyama, Kouda, Midoriya, And Tsu
______________________________________________________________
 Headcanon Time! [finally]
Aizawa is a beta that knows a lot about second genders and can usually predict someone's second gender before they even present [Yes Present Mic is his Husband and Yes he is a Gamma]
Class 1-A is the first class to have this many Omegas
A lot of people mistake Kaminari of an Omega but dude flips a switch and will provoke Alphas so fast
They’re all one big pack with sub groups and all protective of each other and way more protective of the subgroups
Momo and Iida are the more level headed Alphas when it comes to someone hurting their classmates while the other two will go into a blind rage
Scenting each other is a regular occurrence and everyone will do it without blinking an eye
Nests tend to be in their own rooms but every once in a while someone will make a nest in a common place like the living room or hallway and others slowly join in on it
Bakugou only nests when he’s in his heat but he did nest after he got kidnaped [It had a lot of Karishma’s scent in it along with Mina’s, Kaminari’s, Sero’s, and one piece from Deku]
Yes, Omega heats sync up and yes 4 omega’s go into heat the first time since they move into the dorms and it did happen at the most inconvent time
Sigma heats sync up too and Kaminari felt closer to his packmates while Bakugou hated it 
They all presented in 1st year and everyone slowly figured it out because they decided to make it a guessing game
Everyone who has a scent gland has to take suppressants and get regular check ups, It still lets their heats and ruts run their course but less often 
They have to learn how to not get affected as much by scents and Commands so if a Villain tries them they can resist
Bakugou doesn’t like the fact he’s not an Alpha but likes that he’s not an omega
There’s rarely Omega Hero's [All Might is one but only a few people know that]
Mina has Fought with teachers because they said something that made one of her packmates sad

Can I request some Helen headcanons? Just like general dating him and maybe some nsfw if possible.

(With a fem!SO)
Tumblr media
♡Let's just get canon out of the way real quick.
♡Helen is very calm and quiet
♡He isn't very expressive and doesn't speak much, but when he does, he's always the picture of the perfect gentleman.
♡If something doesn't concern him, Helen is pretty apathetic towards it. However, if it's something he cares about, Helen will be very passionate.
♡His parents treated him as a pet or toy, and this caused Helen to have repression issues.
♡He won't show emotion towards a person unless they show emotion first, then he will reciprocate. This is essential to remember as Helen's significant other; you'll have to make the first move every time.
♡Helen's a Libra. His birthday is October 1st
♡Helen's parents were so excited when they found out they were going to be parents. That night, Helen's mother dreamed that she had a beautiful baby girl with delicate features, the deepest blue eyes that she had ever seen, and coal black hair so fine that it looked like dark lace against the baby girl's alabaster skin. She woke up certain that she was pregnant with a baby girl that looked just like in her dream. Mrs. Otis went into labor and delivered a baby that indeed looked just like in her dream, but it was a boy. So they decided to continue on and name him Helen, and raise him as they would a little girl.
♡This treatment continued until he started school at six. Then his parents decided to dress him as and refer to him as a boy in order to not draw attention.
♡Helen still suffers from body dysphoria because of this. For a long time, Helen couldn't reconcile whether he was male or female in his mind, so he existed in a chaotic state of one, the other, both and neither all at the same time. Now- after years of therapy, and a great deal of time building his trust with Reader, Helen identifies as agender preferring he/they/it pronouns and a refined but masculine aesthetic.
♡Reader is the only person allowed to call him Helen. And even she doesn't do it often, only when she's serious. He prefers Reader to call him darling, love, honey, dear, and, if he's feeling frisky, Sir 😍. All others may refer to him by his surname, Otis.
♡Helen can be quite manipulative and his intelligence is obvious
♡While in "working" mode, Helen is very cautious of the scene he his creating, and presents every body as if it were a canvas to bear his work.
♡His fascination with blood stems from his childhood. He had always had trouble making friends, only managing one at a time and spaced distantly apart. His only childhood friend had been murdered by bullies in the park, rocks thrown at him for being friends with that "weird sissyboy kid" until one struck his temple, killing him instantly. The bullies had hurriedly buried his friend in the deep snow from the night before. Helen knew this, he had told you, because he had watched it all from his perch in a tree. After the bullies had fled, Helen had uncovered his friend and stared at his body lying in red stained snow, and the bullies later blamed Helen with his friends death. Ultimately, he had been cleared, as there had been a witness in the park.
♡The false accusations of murder didn't stop there, much to your displeasure.
♡In high school, a classmate of Helen's, one who happened to be Helen's only friend, fell from the building and died. A witness said that Helen had killed him, but no concrete evidence was found.
♡Not to say that Helen is an angel. You know he's far from that, too.
♡Later, the same year, as a freshman at university, Helen killed 17 people from his dorm building, and wounded 5 on Devil's Night (October 30th).
♡Helen was found insane by the courts as a minor and received 6 years of inpatient treatment before being released back into society.
♡He started "his work" again three years later, and then met you two years after that.
♡Helen smokes cigarettes (though not as much as Tim) and unwinds after "work" with music and a rum and Coke or whisky on the rocks.
♡Helen enjoys lofi hiphop; classical music; instrumental and instrumental covers of songs; music from the early 1960's like: Frankie Valli, The Big Bopper, the Animals, and the Zombies; and indie rock like The Flaming Lips, Harvey Danger, Dinosaur Jr, and The Smashing Pumpkins.
♡He loves discovering new music with you, listening to playlists you make him for hours. But you're gonna listen to some of his music, too and he makes playlists for you to play according to mood.
♡Helen's love languages are: quality time, acts of service, and words of affirmation. But the love languages he craves are: all of them except receiving gifts! Getting a gift is uncomfortable for Helen, especially if he has no gift to give back. He wants you to feel just as appreciated as you feel, if not more.
♡Helen thought that he was completely asexual before he met you. No one he had met had ever... Moved him in that way. And he was fine with that. Why should he mourn something he'd never even wanted?
♡And then he met you at an antique art showcase of pieces by and inspired by René Magritte. (Example here: ◎▼◎) After you spent hours together at the show, exchanging witty banter, and eventually, phone numbers, Helen found himself thinking about you that night, alone in bed. And then his mind wondered something it had never thought about anyone else. He wondered what you looked like naked. What your skin would feel like. How would you taste?
♡He frowned to himself, confused by the foreign thought for a moment before he realized that he felt sexual desire for you.
♡It still took him a long while of dating you before he felt comfortable enough to even kiss you in a sexual way. The two of you were practically engaged when he gave you his virginity.
♡Bonus wholesome content headcanon/drabble: Once you convinced Helen to bleach his naturally blue black hair. Not wanting to disappoint you, and telling himself that it was just hair, he consented and you happily set to work. An hour later, he emerged from the shower with a shock of platinum white hair 😱. He had to support himself with a hand on the back of the couch because his knees started shaking when he caught a glance of himself in the mirror over the fireplace. A long, thin fingered hand with a fine tremor lifted to cover his mouth. You knew without him telling you that he absolutely, 100%, no doubt, undisputedly hated it. His already porcelain skin had paled even more, now trembling chalk instead of bone China. His midnight blue eyes held a sort of flinching terror in them as they tried to look anywhere but the vicinity of the mantle mirror. You approached him gently and pulled the towel thrown around his shoulders loose and used his shoulder to balance you as you went up on tiptoe to finish drying his now shockingly white hair.
♡You leave Helen waiting shirtless in the living room to deal with putting his shoes and socks on and you pull on a light jacket to guard against the chill that manages to never be around when we need it during the daytime hours as you enter yours and Helen's shared bedroom. You find Helen a clean black tee shirt and pick up one of your beanies from the coatrack behind the bedroom door. This one was black with a tree frog leaping over the words Frog Leap Studios done in a typewriter font in white thread, a circle of bright blue making the frogs eye stand out.
♡You take the shirt and beanie to Helen and he pulls the shirt on. You feel a little sad that he's covering up, but there would be time to enjoy his body later. Helen sits on the couch so you can slip the beanie over his baby fine hair easier than going up on tiptoe to match his 6'2" lean frame. The bleach may have stolen its darkness, but it couldn't steal its softness. Helen's hair was probably the softest thing you'd ever touched.
♡Hair sufficiently covered, you and Helen get into your car and head to the only place open at the hour of 3:24 in the morning. Walmart. Your sleep schedule had never been normal and Helen didn't help you normalize it at all. In fact, if anything it had gotten worse, the two of you wrapped up in your own hyperfixations, leaned up against each other back to back, or one of you holding the other as one of you writes while the other draws.
♡You feel Helen's hand find your thigh and squeeze it, letting you know he's not upset with you. You reached down and covered his hand with yours, returning the squeeze and you finish out the short ride more relaxed now that you know Helen isn't mad at you. Helen follows you to the beauty section once you're inside the store. He patiently watches as you pick out boxes from 4 different companies.
♡An amused Helen watches you as you quibble with the four boxes. You shuffle through them, running through them over and over like a person considering their hand while playing cards.
♡You end up with him bending down slightly again so you can compare the dyes to his eyebrows. He thinks it's the sweetest thing that you're going through such a clear effort to fix his hair. Obviously you feel responsible for the mistake and he hates that.
♡Gently taking the boxes from your hands, he picks a random red and black one from the four you were debating between and puts the rest back on the shelf.
♡Then Helen pulls you into his arms and holds you tight and close, burying a kiss on top of your head. You smile into his chest, breathing in the scent of paint, paint thinner, lavender shampoo, and jasmine soap. On anyone else, the paint thinner smell would have made you sick. But on Helen, it just smelled like home. You two stay in your embrace, Helen swaying slightly to a beat only he could hear. A stolen moment, a stolen dance, to help ground yourselves.
♡Helen broke the hug after a few moments more, but kept hold of your hand. You walk to the checkout line and pay almost $10 for the dye. The price gave you a mild case of sticker shock, but you shook it off and smiled at the older cashier, who was beaming as her eyes moved between you and Helen. The two of you seemed to get that reaction from older people. That look of pure hope that more people got to experience the love that shone between you. You both thank the cashier repeatedly as Helen payed her the money needed.
"You two have a good night" she smiled at us, "the world needs more couples that look at each other the way you do. You look, at each other like you're reach others entire worlds."
"She is" Helen says softly, pulling me into a hug and a quick kiss, "She's my whole universe."
♡You're pretty certain that the woman's smile could not get bigger. But you didn't really want to find out, since you were starting to notice that her teeth were huge and you were starting to get squicked out by it. Helen must have picked up on your discomfort because he led you away in the protective half circle of his arm.
♡"My knight in shining armor" you croon at him as you walk back to the car, "Thank you for saving me. I am forever in your debt. However could I repay you, Sir?"
♡Helen took in a sharp breath and chuckled as he slowly let it out, "I can think of a few things."
♡"You'll have to show me when you have the time" I teased as Helen opened your car door for me. He'd taught you that chivalry was not dead, and you'd realized that it would be easier to let Helen be a gentleman than it would be to convince him that you could open your own doors.
♡You drove home and locked the doors behind you. You headed straight for the bathroom and Helen borrowed a stool from the island bar to sit on so you could reach all of his head.
♡Twenty minutes later, you threw dye covered vinyl gloves in the trash and settled an old towel around Helen's shoulders and neck to keep the dye from dripping on him. You'd clipped a pillowcase over his hair and you had just finished hitting the dye with heat to assure his hair took the dye well, absorbed it.
♡Helen smiled contentedly up at you from his spot on the stool.
♡You tilted his chin up to kiss him. He kissed you back and then sent soft kisses across your cheek and jawbone, and then kissed and nipped down your neck. Helen focused his kisses back on your lips, kissing you like the kisses would magically cure everything, would keep you alive.
♡The timer you'd set so Helen would know when to wash the dye out of his hair went off, and Helen stood
♡Having already taken off his shirt, Helen unfastened his jeans and let them slide down his legs, stepping out of them as they pooled around his feet, leaving him completely nude, comfortable.
♡instead of getting in the shower, Helen pulled you closer to the shower and used his nimble hands to liberate you of your clothes. Before you could protest, or even decide if ypu wanted to get in, Helen had pulled you under the spray of the shower and he stood in it now, extra dye streaming in lines
♡You turned Helen's back to you and massaged his scalp as the water rinsed the excess dye down the drain. When the water ran clear, you massaged some of the color protect conditioner that came with the dye and Helen switched places with you, his hands never leaving your hips so he could catch you if you slipped.
♡Helen washes your back for you and then your hair, lathering up a clean washcloth with jasmine soap and making sure not to miss a spot. Then he rubbed some lavender scented shampoo into my hair. Then he rinsed it and repeated the process before leaving some conditioner to sit in my hair.
♡Finally Helen worked some conditioner into your hair that matched the shampoo. You help Helen rinse everything from his hair and you condition his hair with the rest of the conditioner that came with the dye.
♡Showers with Helen always end up with him bathing you, his hands and keen eye not missing a single millimeter of your skin. Showers rarely turned sexual between the two of you, instead the two of you focused on the intimacy of showering together.
♡After all the soap and hair products are rinsed from both of you, Helen turned off the water and wrapped you in warm towels, quickly drying himself off and slinging a towel around his hips.
♡Helen obviously felt better once his hair was back to its natural inky darkness.
♡You could tell from the mischievous grin he wore as he escorted you to the bedroom.

Shawn Mendes x female reader
Warning: fluff, maybe grammar error and maybe some punctuation errors
Oh My God!  You thought to yourself. This was the day. Its finally here. The day you and your husband had been waiting for a while now. It was finally here.
Your nerves were absolutely racking and your heart was beating fast. the test showed you 2 lines. YOU WERE PREGNANT.
You looked at the pregnancy test again and the other two that sat on the vanity, all positive. Now it was time to tell Shawn the news.
“We’re going to have a what?” Shawn asked, his face turning up toward you. 
He was sitting on the bed with his back against the headboard, having some much needed relaxing time after being in the recording studio all day.
You’d discovered you were pregnant this morning after he’d left for work and decided to keep the news until he was home.
For the time being you kept your news a secret from the media, afraid of the possibility of things happening on the first trimester. So you started going out in baggy clothes so the paparazzi will not know and throwback photos became a thing in your Instagram feed.
However, you knew that sooner or later it would be discovered, it didn’t worry you too much, but you wanted to feel comfortable first with the idea of having a growing human inside your belly and also because Shawn and you are a pretty private couple.
————————-FOUR MONTHS LATER————
Tonight , Shawn was going to be interviewed on Jimmy Fallon’s late night show because of the recent release of his album “wonder.”
It was a routine that before one of you came on, the other would send a text message of encouragement and an occasional “I love you ” were sent along with it.
You: enjoy the talk show with Jimmy 😙
Shawn: thanks baby, love you 😘
You: love you too ❤️
Shawn: see you at home ❤️
You: send image
This time you decide to send a pic of you and Tarzan at the living room couch and the pic also displayed your growing bump.
You: see you at home Shawnie❤️, lots of love from me, Tarzan and little Mendes
As the crew began counting down the seconds before going live Jimmy sat down slowly and Shawn adjusted his jacket as he got comfortable in the chair.
“Now Shawn…” Jimmy started, leaning on his desk casually. “quite a bit has happened since the last time I saw you.”
He nodded slightly, a ghost of a smile on his lips, “Yeah it’s been a while dude.”
Jimmy laughed partially, “that’s right… the last time you were here you were single, and now you’re married.”
Shawn nodded as Jimmy continued, “now Wonder just came out a few weeks ago and it was a huge hit..”
Shawn smiled, “yup it did alright.”
The rest of the interview was great, Shawn talked about the highs and lows he experienced when creating the album and how all his songs were about you and how grateful he was to have you by his side through it all.
That night both Shawn and Jimmy were going to play ‘Show me your phone’, a game where they had to show whatever was hidden on their smart phones.
As the game was about to start, Shawn realised he wasn’t prepared at all. At this point he knew your secret is about to be exposed, I mean your whole relationship was not a secret but it was mostly private.
Both of you seem to have a habit of dropping the bombshell to your fans. Like that one time you finally made your relationship social media official, another time you secretly got married and now you’re secretly 4 months pregnant.
Now sitting across from Jimmy, Shawn could feel his heart pounding , and his hand began to feel clammy.
In front of them there was a red button, in the centre a tripod that will act as a phone holder and next to it was an electronic panel showing all the possibilities that could come up.
There was the icon for messages, Safari, photos , Instagram, Twitter, mail and call.
“Okay, you ready?” Jimmy asked and Shawn just nodded his head.
“Okay, for anyone who don’t know, here’s how game works. Shawn and I will take turns pressing the red button we have here, which will randomly select one of these icons we have on the board.”
After He explained how the game works , then he opted for Shawn to go first as he was the guest.
Laughter was heard among the audience as they saw the nervous glances that was displayed in both Shawn’s and Jimmy’s faces.
“FYI, neither of us know what’s behind each icon.” Jimmy looks at Shawn who was now laughing. “Let’s go and explore our phone.” Jimmy said
“Let the adventure begin,” Shawn said while trying to hide his face. “I think I forgot to clean my phone before the game.”
“You and me both dude,” Jimmy said laughing along with him. “Alright, here we go. Since you’re the guest you press first.”
“I am honoured ,” Shawn said sarcastically , which drew another laughter from the audience. “Here goes nothing!”
Shawn pressed the red button and quickly the icons on the panel began to light up and the light stopped specifically on the Safari browser icon, so that a text was displayed that said 'Show and tell us your last Google search’.
“Shawn if you could please show us your last Google search my friend.” Jimmy said while trying to control his laughter.
“Okay!” exclaimed Shawn grabbing his phone and heading to the app. “If I’m being honest I forgot what my last search was… Oh never mind!”
Shawn started laughing and tried to hide his phone, which only caused the audience to laugh hilariously.
"Okay, fine,” Shawn said as he put the phone down on the small platform. “I was just trying to do a kind gesture.”
The camera pointed straight at him, checking that his last search had been ‘nearest grocery store with Oat milk’.
The set erupted in laughter, Jimmy clasped his hands to his chest, laughing his head off.
“This- This is actually funny because it’s so specific but it’s actually very thoughtful,” he said between guffaws. “Did you end up buying it though?”
“I did!” Shawn said. “I found two brands and you know I was just trying to buy it because Y/N being a good wife she is wants me to start living a healthier lifestyle.”
“Awww,” Jimmy said . “Come on! Here we go. My turn.”
The panel came back on, the light moving between icons until it stopped on the photo app. Jimmy frowned, and the panel informed him that it should show the last picture he took on his phone.
“Come on, show us!” exclaimed Shawn encouragingly.
“I’m extremely scared,” said Jimmy with a serious and comical look on his face, reaching for his phone. “I am deeply embarrassed … Oh!” he began to laugh. “Okay, okay. This… is me trying to be a good Dad, don’t judge me.”
The picture showed Jimmy trying to pose with a random Snapchat filter and the caption was ‘Goodnight Frances & Winnie’ . In response the audience started laughing.
“All right, all right,” Jimmy held up his hands. “I have an explanation . The other day my wife said my kids won’t go to bed until I said goodnight to them and I was still on set.”
“That’s actually cool man!” exclaimed Shawn.
“Anything to put your kids to bed,” he laughed and picked up his phone.
“Show us your last text message” Jimmy read out eliciting cheers from the audience. “Come on!”
“Okay,” he began to laugh nervously. “It says there the last message I sent, in details too?”
“Well, just put the phone down,” Jimmy laughed.
“Okay,” Shawn started to look up. “Last text message…” he took a breath and looked at Jimmy hesitantly.“Oh here we go…”
Your last conversation appeared before everyone’s eyes, showing only the last photo you had sent him with Tarzan and your growing bump was present and the caption was the true bombshell of all.
“Wait, wait back up Mendes,” Jimmy said looking at him and questioning “little Mendes? Is this why she’s taking a break?”
The audience exclaimed a sweet 'aw’ again when they got a glimpse of the photo and Shawn was just widely smiling.
“This is really sweet!” said Jimmy looking at Shawn, “This is the best news ever.”
“I know, I know,” Shawn commented and nodding his head slowly.
“Do you know the gender?” asked Jimmy hesitantly, to which Shawn took another breath before replying.
“Yes we do,” Shawn laughed nervously. “We are going to have a baby girl.”
 “There you have it, folks! The show is about exposing secrets! Thank you for watching, let’s all patiently wait for the arrival of baby Mendes.”
Shawn was seen hugging Jimmy as the camera flickered off, the curtains closing - concealing them from the screaming audience.

How Can a Gynaecologist Help You Conceive
Tumblr media
Are you struggling to get pregnant after having unprotected sex for almost a year? Consider consulting a gynaecologist. A gynaecologist is a doctor who specializes in caring for women prior to pregnancy and childbirth as well. They are definitely a go-to person for those who are facing difficulties in getting pregnant.
Through this guide, we will delve into how a gynaecologist can help in planning a pregnancy. If one is searching for a renowned gynaecologist in Mumbai, one can consult Dr. Chaitali Mahajan Trivedi at Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital.
How Does a Gynaecologist Help in Planning for Pregnancy?
If one has decided to try conceiving, a gynaecologist can ensure one is physically and mentally prepared to carry a baby inside them. Also, if one is unable to get pregnant even after trying for a year, the gynaecologist may recommend a number of screening tests to check if the patient is healthy and to check any issues that affect one’s chances of conceiving naturally. Some of these tests include a pap smear, HPV (human papillomavirus) test, blood tests, and STD screening.
The gynaecologist could also suggest changes in lifestyle to improve one’s chances of getting pregnant quickly and to enhance one’s overall health. This includes abstaining from alcohol, making healthy food choices, indulging in regular exercise, improving sleep habits and maintaining a healthy weight. If one is taking any over-the-counter medications, the gynaecologist will check if those medications are safe to take. They may ask the patient to make adjustments or stop taking them to improve their chances of getting pregnant.
There are a few medications which can cause complications and affect embryo development. The gynaecologist will recommend patients start taking a folic acid supplement as soon as they decide to get pregnant. Folic acid minimizes the baby’s risk of developing a neural tube defect such as spina bifida. One needs to take the supplement every day from the day they plan to get pregnant till the 12 weeks of their pregnancy.
They also guide how to improve the chances of getting pregnant by letting the patient know about their most fertile days. The gynaecologist may suggest some techniques, such as:
Ovulation Test Strip Kit: This is a urine test which determines when one is ovulating. This strip indicates the level of luteinizing hormone (LH) in the urine, which is the most appropriate time to conceive.
Cervical Mucus: The type of mucus produced by a woman varies throughout her menstrual cycle. At the time of ovulation, the cervical mucus is slippery and has a clear consistency, which depicts the fertile window.
Body’s Temperature: The temperature of the body is increased when one is ovulating. This is because the hormone progesterone is released in higher amounts during ovulation, which raises body temperature. So, when one has an increased body temperature, they can assume they are ovulating.
Conclusion
If one is struggling with conceiving, they can seek the help of a gynaecologist. One can make an appointment with Dr. Chaitali Mahajan Trivedi, best sexologist for females in Mumbai, at Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital. The expert gynaecologist has also won a Guinness world record for removing the largest uterus of 4.1kg laparoscopically.
She guides on fertility, miscarriages, and prenatal care and helps women stay on top of their gynaecological health. Besides this, she also performs several gynaecological procedures such as labiaplasty, vaginoplasty, hymenoplasty, hysterectomy, P shot, O shot and many more.
hajan Trivedi, a notable gynaecologist, visit Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital today.

Justified Murderesses: Killer Women in History Who Got Their Own Justice in Unjust Times
{CW: sexual assault, murder, domestic violence, racism}
1. Maria Barbella
Tumblr media
(1895)
Maria Barbella was an Italian immigrant who lived in New York with her family. She was courted by Domenico Cataldo, another Italian immigrant. Unbeknownst to Maria, he was already married (his wife and children were still in Italy). One day, Domenico took Maria to a boarding house and bought her a drink which he drugged to incapacitate her and he raped her. Maria was horrified and he told her would he make her an honest woman and marry her. However, he soon admitted he wasn't going to marry her and dumped her. On April 26th, 1895, Maria's mother took her to confront Domenico and demanded he marry Maria. Domenico first said he would marry her for $200 but then declared that 'only a pig would marry her'. Maria attacked Domenico and slashed his throat with a shaving razor. She was arrested on the spot. Maria admitted to what she did and why she did it, but her trial was hardly fair. Everything was spoken in English, which Maria did not understand nor could speak at the time. Her rape by Domenico was also barred from being mentioned. She was found guilty and sentenced to death by electric chair. However, the Italian-American community and suffragettes spoke out against the trial in defense of Maria. The case was appealed and Maria got a second trial where she spoke out about her rape. She was acquitted this time. She reappeared in the news again when she saved a neighbor from a fire. She eventually married another Italian immigrant and had a son but by 1902 they were separated.
2. Lastania Abarta
Tumblr media
(1881)
Lastania Abarta was a Basque-Mexican Los Angeles native. She worked at her family's pool hall as a singer. A beautiful 18-year-old, she caught the attention of frequent customer 40-year-old Chico Forster, the son of a wealthy Los Angeles land developer. Despite her being already engaged, Forster wooed Lastania and proposed to her. Lastania fell in love with Forster and agreed. Lastania joined him at the Moiso Mansion Hotel where he said her would marry her. Forster attempted to get her to sleep with him, but Lastania refused as she insisted on only sleeping with him once they were married. Forster was angered by Lastania's refusal and kept her in the room for three days. Lastania still refused and Chico basically raped her. He then left, saying he would find a priest to marry them. But he never returned. Lastania realized her mistake and returned home, only to be disowned for running off to elope with Chico. Lastania bought a gun with the intention of killing herself. Her sister stopped her and helped her find Chico to get him to marry her and restore her honor. Forster refused. Lastania took her gun out and shot Chico. Lastania was arrested and charged with murdering Forster. Chico's father hired prosecutor Stephen M. White (who would later become a senator) to ensure that Lastania was punished. But her defense argued that Lastania was suffering from "female hysteria" when she killed Chico. The defense even produced the bed sheets from the hotel room evident with blood from Lastania losing her virginity by force at the hands of Chico. Lastania was acquitted in April of 1881 and she went on to marry and leave town.
3. Paula Angel
Tumblr media
(1861)
Paula Angel was the only woman legally executed in New Mexico after it was indoctrinated into US territory. She came from a prominent Mexican-American family and was well-known for her beauty. She caught the eye of Juan Miguel Martin, the son of a very prominent family. Martin courted Paula and made promises of marriage to her. In love and believing they would soon marry, Paula gave in to Martin's advances and gave him her virginity. However, she was unaware that Martin was a known womanizer and was already married. Martin kept his status a secret from Paula and told her he would marry her, but Paula began to doubt him and became desperate. Paula was in a hard situation. As a young, unmarried woman, her virtue was important and if it became known she slept with a man outside of wedlock she would've been disowned and dishonored by society. Paula confronted Martin outside a bar one night in March of 1861. Martin taunted her and she drew out a knife and stabbed him repeatedly in front of everyone. She was promptly arrested and charged. Paula's trial was tampered by Martin's family who wanted Paula to pay for her crime, regardless of Martin's own bad behavior. Paula was sentenced to death and was hanged on April 26th, 1861. When she was hung, the noose snapped and she fell, still alive. Back then, the law stated that if someone survived their hanging, they were free to go. But despite her family's pleas, Paula was hung again, this time strangling her until she died.
4. Betty Butler
Tumblr media
(1952)
Betty Evelyn Butler was the first black woman to be executed by electric chair in the United States. Betty was executed for killing Evelyn Clark, whom Betty lived with and admitted to having an affair with, though the affair was not consensual on Betty's part. Betty was married to a pastor and had two children, but she was a closeted lesbian. Given that she was black and lived during a post-war, religious conservative community, it was understandable. But when her affairs with women were uncovered by her husband, he kicked her out, divorced her and took their children, and she was turned into a pariah. She fled to Ohio, homeless and with no money. It was at this low point in her life that Evelyn Clark and her husband took her in. However, Evelyn did not take her in out of kindness. Betty was propositioned to sexually service Clark in exchange for food and shelter. The arrangement took a toll on Betty and on September 6, 1952, she snapped. While on a fishing trip with a friend, Clark made advances towards Betty and taunted her. This was the final straw for Betty and she attacked Evelyn, strangling her with a handkerchief then dunking her head underwater to drown her. The deadly assault was witnessed by many other people present at the lake. Betty was arrested and charged with murder. It was claimed she attacked Evelyn out of jealousy towards her making advances on another woman. Betty recounted her predicament under Evelyn Clark for all to hear but to no avail. She was scorned and slandered by society as a deviant who abandoned her children and she was found guilty by the all white, male jury at her trial. She was executed on July 11, 1954, at 26-years-old.
5. Bathsheba Spooner
Tumblr media
(1778)
Bathsheba Ruggles Spooner was the first woman to be hanged in the newly independent United States of America. She came from a prominent family of men who worked in the justice system, but the family was also known to be Tories. Bathsheba was married off to Joshua Spooner, a wealthy farmer, and they had four children. Unfortunately, Joshua Spooner was a violent man who abused Bathsheba. Being the 18th century and a new country, resources and legal rights for women, even abused women, were basically nonexistent. Women could not divorce their husbands and if they fled they were captured and brought back to them. Trapped in this abusive marriage, Bathsheba found comfort in the arms of young soldier, Ezra Ross. The affair led to Bathsheba becoming pregnant, which threatened to expose her affair to her abusive husband and their misogynist, religious community (adulteresses were severely punished under colonial law). To save herself and finally break free from her abusive husband, Bathsheba enlisted the help of Ezra and two other men to get rid of Joshua Spooner. On February 28th, 1778, Spooner was beaten to death and tossed into the Spooner estate's well. The murder was soon uncovered and Bathsheba, Ezra, and their cohorts were arrested and charged. Bathsheba's predicament earned her no mercy and her family's reputation as Tories worsened her chances at trial. She was hastily sentenced to death and executed alongside her lover and partners on July 2nd, 1778.
6. Ruby McCollum
Tumblr media
(1952)
Ruby Jackson McCollum was a wealthy Florida woman married to a a successful businessman. She and her husband were prominent members of Live Oak and were respectable and had four children together. Ruby became a patient to another prominent Live Oak member, Dr. C. Leroy Adams. While under his care, Ruby was horribly violated by Adams. She was sexually abused by him which led to her becoming pregnant and having his child. Even though she was a popular member of the Florida elite, she was well aware that her chances of being listened to and protected were slim. In this time and place, the practice of "paramour rights" was quite common. "Paramour rights" was the belief that a white man had a right to sleep with a black woman, regardless of her consent. Black women who did report their assaults were not only ignored, they were also ridiculed, shamed, harassed, and even arrested. Understandably, Ruby did not speak out about what was being done to her until she couldn't take it anymore. On August 3rd, 1952, she went to Dr. Adams' office and shot him in broad daylight. She didn't flee or resist when she was arrested by police. Ruby finally opened up about what she had endured. Her first trial was a disaster: Ruby was banned from testifying and her defense wasn't allowed to prove or go into detail about her abuse. The prosecution further invalidated her by claiming she killed Adams over a bill instead. On December 20th, 1952, Ruby was found guilty of first degree murder by an all white male jury and was sentenced to death. However, Ruby's case had garnered major attention from the Civil Rights movement and the black community. Her story of abuse and the mishandling of her case caused outrage and sympathy for her. Two years later, her conviction was overturned and she was granted a second trial. Ruby was examined for her next trial and she was found to be mentally unfit. She was committed to Florida State Hospital where she stayed until 1974 when she was finally released through the Baker Act.

Even after all these years, riding on a train still brought a small flutter to Lucy’s stomach as she remembered the long ago evening when she’d met her husband. From an innocent meeting to a death defying experience, talk about a roller coaster ride. And yet, if she had to do it all over again, Lucy wouldn’t change a thing. Crazy sounding yes, for why would anyone not want to avoid what she’d gone through? Touka had truly pushed her sanity to the breaking point, but well, the therapist was right in the end and Lucy felt almost invincible now. All that pain, all the struggle she’d pushed through had made her the strong and resilient woman she was today. Happily married to Natsu with their fraternal twins Nashi and Ryuu. Mrs. Natsu Dragneel, Lucy smiled to herself, there was no way she’d change a thing.
Of course, it hadn’t been easy. After Natsu proposed and Lucy had accepted, there were still a lot of work to be done. But that measure of acceptance and affection did wonders. Any worries she’d had that he wouldn’t want a broken woman melted away and gave her the confidence to get better. With each passing therapy session, her strength grew, and by the time they graduated college, Lucy could honestly say she’d been cured to a functional degree. No longer struggling through nightmares and panic attacks, her anxieties were under control and the debilitating depression a distant memory where it belonged.
Yeah... Lucy sighed happily as she watched the landscape pass by from her train seat. Meeting Natsu was the best thing to ever happen in her life, well, aside from the kids. They’d married about a year after graduation on the anniversary of their meeting. It was a beautiful affair at an indoor venue, with close friends and family to join them. They’d gone a more modern route for the ceremony but did take pictures at a garden dressed in the traditional attire for sentimental reasons. Lucy wore the shiromuku white kimono while Natsu a montsuki haori hakama. And no, it wasn’t train themed! Levy was the Maid of Honor and Gray was the best man. By then, Levy and Gajeel were also married and Gray in a serious relationship with a girl named Juvia Lockser. Lucy was so happy for them both. All of their lives were moving in the right direction.
Everything was perfect. Great jobs in their fields of interest, lives settled into a comfortable routine, when 5 years later Lucy was pregnant with fraternal twins. It was a total surprise since twins didn’t run in either of their families. Always the jovial optimist, Natsu joked that they’d been doubly blessed because of what they’d gone through, and Lucy couldn’t help but love such a concept. Of course, once the euphoria of the motherhood prospect waned, reality set in that she was having twins! Two! Double the babies meant double of everything, from the pregnancy concerns to raising them. Growing up without a mother and as an only child, Lucy didn’t have a lot of experience with small children. But Natsu patiently assured her, that she’d do just fine. Think of it as a new challenge, and after overcoming one pretty tough situation, this would be a walk in the park. On the bright side, Levy was also pregnant with the couple’s first child so the two best friend’s kids would grow up together.
And Natsu was right, there were a few bumps in the road but nothing too difficult. During her fourth month Lucy was diagnosed with gestational diabetes as well as some minor gastrointestinal issues, so Natsu swayed the doctor to put her on bed rest. Better safe than sorry. The babies were healthy, but by the 7th month, she really couldn’t move much, and she was miserable being stuck at home all the time. Lucy missed her job because she genuinely enjoyed working for the magazine. But in the end, it had been a good thing. She could manage her health easier that way and it gave her time to do something she’d thought about doing as part of the healing process. With Natsu’s support and permission, it was time to put her writing skills to good use and write a book about their experience.
It became an instant hit, especially with female readers. The book was not only an autobiographical reflection of what had happened to them but focused on shining a light on the dangers of stalkers, as well as the importance of taking the warning signs seriously. Lucy didn’t hold back in her re-telling, even pointing out the serious flaws in Japan’s laws in protecting citizens from stalkers which at the time were nonexistent. Feminist organizations working to change those laws used her story with permission for their cause. She had no intentions of becoming a poster child for the movement, but in the end her role may have played its part, because 2 years after the publishing, Japan finally adopted anti-stalking laws making it easier for police to string together harassment cases, as well as for victims to get the help they needed.
Her life was nothing but exciting to say the least! And with two young children, now age 10 certainly kept them on their toes. Their daughter Nashi was just like Natsu, very outgoing, friendly, but a bit of a daredevil while her brother Ryuu born 4 minutes after her was the quieter of the two. He preferred books like his mother to adventure. Of course, that never stopped Nashi from dragging him into shenanigans! But the best part was how close they still were and fiercely protective of each other. Lucy and Natsu couldn’t be prouder of them and hoped this would continue throughout their lifetimes.
Fifteen years... come to think of it, their wedding anniversary was coming up shortly. With Natsu now a senior fire inspector for the Tokyo prefectural government, he was often busy. Lucy did mind it, because frankly it gave her some peace and quiet. She chuckled at the thought. Not that it was all that peaceful with the twins. But she digressed. His success meant their lives were very comfortable, and her own journalism successes while not as financially based, were still celebrated in their relationship. Natsu never waned in being the dutiful and supportive, always loving husband that Lucy felt blessed to grow old with.
‘Two more stops, pick up the kids from school, stop at the grocery store for dinner...’ Lucy tapped out on her phone a to-do list of ingredients to pick up at the store. Perhaps katsudon... ‘Mmm, or maybe nabe,’ hot-pot soup since it was expected to be a bit chilly that evening.
Lucy looked up briefly, really just spacing out in thought when someone catches her eye. At the other end of the train car, she noticed a woman facing slightly away, but enough to where she couldn’t quite see a face. It couldn’t be... Lucy looked away not wanting to stare, but somehow... for some reason the woman was awfully familiar... looking exactly like Touka. Well, not exactly, but enough to make the hair on the back of her neck stand up. It was a blonde, with a different hair style— and that could always be changed. Similar body type, the facial side-profile features that Lucy could see resembled Touka...
Now despite being better, her anxieties still bubbled up from time to time, so she immediately switched to her coping techniques to calm them down. ‘You’re fine,’ Lucy talked herself through it, ‘no point in getting riled up.’ The woman hadn’t done so much as looked in her direction, so it must be okay. Contrary to popular belief, things like depression and anxiety never fully goes away, especially when someone has experienced a severe level of it. Those emotions and irrational thoughts are forever programmed into the brain, but there are ways to keep them at bay and Lucy’s successfully done just that for 15 years.
‘Just go back to what you were doing. Katsudon or nabe? And don’t forget you need to pick up milk...’ But, fifteen years... could Touka have been released by now? Lucy shook the thought away again. ‘Stop it! Everything is fine. It’s not her!’ The train was semi-full of passengers all minding their own business... including the woman. There was no reason to start panicking now. Lucy adjusts her position on her seat away from the woman’s direction. If she couldn’t see her, she could pretend she didn’t exist. ‘Maybe I should pick up ingredients for both, that way I don’t have to shop tomorrow.’ Lucy thought to herself, and with the kids with her, they could help in carrying the shopping bags. ‘Yeah, we’ve got a plan…’
After figuring out her shopping list, Lucy pulled up social media to keep herself distracted and for a few minutes it did the trick. Silly videos of entertainers never got old. The train reached the next stop and she felt it come to a stop. Since it wasn’t hers, she didn’t pay it any mind as she scrolled through her feed. But as the disembarking passengers funnel past Lucy, her eyes pick up on a pair of pink high-heels peeking from over the edge of her phone. Her body instantly stiffened up from the similarity to the ones worn by the woman, while her curiosity slowly got the better of her. ‘Breath, act nonchalant!’ Lucy’s eyes tracked the high-heels moving past her until they left her periphery. She then slowly sat back up, pretending to readjust her position, when she caught a pair of eyes looking back. Lucy’s breathing hitches with a shaky exhale. “Oh, my god—"
Standing at the doorway with one hand on the frame, the blonde woman smiled at Lucy then winked before stepping off the train.
It was Touka!

Falling, Fallen • Jackson Avery
Notes: I'm a huge softie for Jackson Avery. Don't @ me. And I had this idea since forever 🥺
Summary: Y/N is Jackson Avery's wife and decides to ignore her husband's good advice.
Warnings: needles, medical terms
Word Count: 1891
Tumblr media
Jackson Avery. Someone who gave you a lot of heartache back in the days. Watching him love a few woman.
Then seeing him gave one of your best friends a love speech and running away with her from her own wedding.
Those moments were the most hurting times, but when the both of them needed help it was you who would be there for them. Because you knew in the end they were still your friends.
Although your feelings never went away. You still secretly loved him, but your mouth was muted. You didn't want to ruin what they had.
But a single talk together with Alex Karev made words fly around in the O.R and into the ears of Jackson Avery. Which made your secret not so much of a secret anymore.
After 6 months You were living together. Then a year after the two of you got married but now a year and a half you were waiting for the worst pain ever. Called labor.
Pregnancy. Something you thought you were not going to experience anytime soon. But yet you were experiencing it. Anytime as you were sitting on the couch in April Kepner's couch.
"You're all round and almost popping, you should be in laying bed, not sitting in my couch Y/N." The ginger female sighed, placing a pillow behind your back. "Pregnancy is not a joke."
April was the most worried friend you had. Although you never expected her to be this okay with you and Jackson being together. Because you knew how much he meant to her.
"I'm going crazy in that penthouse just waiting for a single sound to make me feel alive." Caressing your belly, you leaned your head back on the couch, staring up at the ceiling.
"Says the 40 week far pregnant woman, who's most likely to have a baby today or tomorrow." April raised an eyebrow at you while she placed both of her hands on your belly. "It's moving down."
Giving her an deadpanned stare you tried to get up from the couch as you leaned on your hands. Walking over to the female her fridge.
"Did you just spill my bottle of water?" April asked, knowing you were clumsy at times, or all the time.
Hearing the footsteps come closer to you as you just stared down to your feet, a small pool of water on the floor and no way to get out.
"Oh my- okay, stay calm. You're gonna be fine okay? I'll take care of you. My car keys." The ginger haired woman rambled, grabbing the black keys off the hanger on the wall.
Running a hand through her ginger colored locks April held open the door as you walked through and fresh air met your skin.
Opening the door of the car and getting in, you noticed April's nervous state as she quickly got around and sat down next to you, twisting her keys in the contact.
"Just keep breathing and don't die, okay?" April squeaked, placing her hand on yours as she gave you a much saying face. "That was dark wasn't it?"
Releasing a slight breath through your nose, you nodded at your friend as she drove out of her parking spot, not exactly slowly. "A little too dark."
"Jackson is going to freak out when he knows I didn't ignore your attempts to get out." Spinning her steering wheel towards left, she bit the inside of her cheek.
"If I didn't come to you. I'd be in that penthouse going into labor all by myself, Apes." Placing your hand on the dashboard, you leaned over while holding the bottom of your belly. "Constraction."
Coming to a halt you saw the light of April's phonescreen as she tapped her stopwatch app and she passed her phone to you. "Tap it every time you get one."
Tapping the icon, you breathed out, watching the stop lights turn green as April started driving again, giving you a quick glance.
"We're almost there, I just need a damn parking spot, okay?" At this moment the only thing you were able to do was throwing all your trust in April's hands but also in yourself.
Leaning your head back, you closed your eyes in pain but also in hope that all of this would be over soon. But the sound of a car door slamming shut made you opened your eyes again.
"Come on, take my hand." April took a hold of your hand as she pushed the door closed behind you with her free hand. "Y/N Y/L/N you're not having this baby in this parking lot."
Releasing her hand, you ignored her rambling and walked up to the double doors of the hospital with a fast tempo.
"Hey, I wasn't done talking!" The female retorted, pushing the door open before you walked through, placing your hand on top of your belly, breathing out.
"In and out, good job." April answered as she breathed in and out together with you. "Just like that."
"Oh god! Is it this far? Am I becoming a grandma?" Your eyes moved up as Catherine Avery strolled over to you with a nervous smile covering her lips before her eyes fell on April. "Oh and April, I've got her."
April frowned at the older woman, fiddling with her car keys as she placed her hand on your back, trying to release the pain somehow." But I just-"
Knowing Catherine Avery wasn't one of the easiest person the two of you have known, things didn't make it any easier.
"I've. Got. Her. You're free to go." Catherine pointed out, placing her one arm around your waist and the other holding your hand, leading you towards somewhere else. "Thank you for taking care of her, though."
You just assumed April nodded at her, knowing somewhere deep inside herself she was grateful for everything April did for you. And so where you.
Pulling open the blue curtains, the only thing you did was opening the cabinets and grabbing a patient gown, walking into the bathroom to change yourself.
"Take your time okay, sweetie?" A soft knock was sounded on your door what made you sigh slightly, the woman had no patience at this moment. "There's no need to hurry, okay?"
Opening the door with a fast pull, you threw a single glare in the female Avery her way, being frustrated with pain and a watermelon sized child inside of you.
"April told me someone is having a-" Arizona Robbins her words were cut off as she noticed the long browned haired woman sitting on chair. "Baby."
"Yes and please as fast as i can, I'm dying." You snapped, placing your hands on the hospital bed, moving your hips around, trying to soothe the pain. "Give me an epidural and enough lidocaine."
You heard a slight snort in the room, knowing Catherine couldn't handle herself in bringing out her own opinion as she walked out of the room.
"We can do that, let me page Jackson first, yeah?" Arizona placed a hand on your shoulder, giving you one of her toothy smiles when grabbing her pager. "Let me check your dilation?"
Grunting, you slightly layed back on the bed, placing your feet apart from each other, placing your arm over your eyes, scared for the pain you'd feel.
"Just relax, I know it's not comfortable but I need to do this." Arizona comforted, hearing you take a deep breath in, feeling the pressure. "You're 5 centimeters dilated, so an epidural is an option, I'll need Jackson to keep your back arched, okay?"
Nodding your head in silence, you lay your feet back down, covering them with the white blanket.
"I told you to stay home, why are you so stubborn?" And this was the moment you didn't wait for. A preach by your husband, who would freak out. "You're unbelievable."
"Well I'm carrying a human watermelon inside of me, maybe you should just be quiet and let me do my job?" You snapped back, sitting up, noticing Arizona held back a smile.
"I need to place a epidural, could you move up your hospital gown?" Arizona smiled, gathering her supplies to release you from the pain.
Moving the hospital gown away from your back, you could feel the cold disinfectant being wiped on your back with a cotton ball.
"I will give you a local anesthetic, just a little sting." Looking at the man in front of you, you slightly shook your head as he bit the inside of his cheek.
"I need you to lay on your side now, Jackson I need you to hold her hands as I insert the epidural." Arizona lectured, giving him a small shove in his back, breaking his stubbornness.
Shuffling back on your bed, you turned to the left, taking a hold of Jackson's hands as you felt Arizona inserting a needle into the lower section of spine. "Oh, this is the last and only baby I'm ever having."
"And in two years time we'll be here again." Jackson muttered, releasing your hands, giving you a smile that said a lot. "You know I'm right."
"You wish." The sentence left your mouth and Arizona snorted at the words, removing the needle of the Epidural.
"Let me see how far we're standing." The paediatrician mumbled, motioning for you to place your feet away from each other. "And Avery one more cocky remark, I'll hit you."
Jackson opened his mouth but nothing came out, instead he sighed and crossed his arms at the blonde female.
"You're 9 centimetres, Jackson I need you to sit behind her, and Y/N, I need you to be badass, okay?" The blonde female explained, placing her gloved hand on your knee, with trust.
"I can do that." You nodded, leaning back in your husband's chest, sweat already covering your forehead, wanting to be done with this. "I'm freaking Y/N Avery, I can do this."
Arizona shrugged and smiled slightly sitting down on the chair at your feet. "See? Just like that, If you have enough power, I need you to push."
Leaning back on Jackson's shoulder, you placed your hands on your knees, as a pain struck your abdomen, leaning forward you placed all your power on your core.
"Push push, you're doing great." Arizona spoke up, giving you a single spark of hope. "If you have the power, you can push again."
Not giving a single answer, you placed your chin on your chest and pushed once again.
"Head is out, one more firm push, and you're almost done." The blonde surgeon spoke up, giving you courage, knowing it was almost over.
Getting al your power together and sweatdrops covering your forehead, you placed pressure on your body for the last time as a loud cry was sounded across the room and made you lean your head back on Jackson's shoulder.
Seeing Arizona stand up with a bundle wrapped in a white towel, you held out your hands toward your friend. "It's a baby boy."
"Well aren’t you the cutest little thing?” Jackson whispered, caressing his son's cheek.
"I carried that for 9 months, you better call me cute AND badass." You retorted, gazing up at your husband. "Because I am."
"Yes you are, and I'm proud." He answered, kissing you sweaty forehead. "You are."
