Based on her personal experiences with IVF, author Monica Bivas created this journal to help you organize the process, handle stress better, and bring focus and clarity to your personal IVF journey. She created The IVF Planner both as an information guide and for you to write your own story. She touches on everything from the basics of the process to financing to a support network and more. Bivas communicates that the IVF journey, no matter the end result—negative, positive, or even cancelled cycles—takes strength, takes courage, and teaches you to be disciplined. Though expensive and challenging, it’s a journey to be proud of.

Download or read book Get ready for your IVF written by Gabriela Lacerda and published by Simplíssimo. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a limiting belief around in vitro fertilization (IVF) that must be reframed: the idea that it is only a technical, difficult, painful and artificial process. IVF is another one of those wonderful proofs of God's love towards us. Therefore, it is nothing but a christic alternative to enable men and women to achieve their paternity and maternity dreams. It was from this perspective that the author, Gabriela Lacerda, a former trying woman and mother of two children via assisted reproductions, shares with her readers a spiritual perspective about the most advanced treatment for couples who have difficulty to get pregnant. In this book, she talks about the metaphysical teachings that were essential to achieve her much-dreamed-of positive in her first in vitro fertilization attempt, giving life to her son Gael, and again, three years later, from the transfer of a single frozen embryo that enabled the arrival of her second son, Benício. What may be seen as good fortune from a distance, for her, who experienced it with a lot of energy, it was the certainty that there was a spirituality watching over every detail of her journey as a conscious trying woman. The one that goes beyond physical symptoms and scarcity thoughts. The one that acknowledges that life goes beyond the visible, the material world. Welcome to the wonderful world of assisted reproduction from a spiritual perspective. Read each page with an open heart. It is safe to get pregnant easily via in vitro fertilization.

Download or read book Women in Higher Education and the Journey to Mid Career Challenges and Opportunities written by Schnackenberg, Heidi L. and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals in mid-career positions in higher education typically feel that they are faced with fewer engagement endeavors and new initiatives with which they can participate in as institutions tend to find them not as new and their ideas no longer as cutting edge, even though they very well may be. For women in academia, this phenomenon is even more complex. Typically, by mid-career, women have survived the sprint to tenure while juggling family/caregiver responsibilities. Post-tenure they may find themselves in a space where they have more control over their work and can engage at a more comfortable pace. However, without institutional support and personal determination to remain engaged, women may find themselves facing stagnation in their career development. Thus, it is essential that mentorship opportunities are established and career trajectories put in place for mid-career women. Women in Higher Education and the Journey to Mid-Career: Challenges and Opportunities considers specific challenges, issues, strategies, and solutions that are associated with female academics during mid-career phases. The book includes a variety of emerging evidence-based professional practice and narrative personal accounts as written by administrators, faculty, staff, and students. The book considers strategies for remaining vibrant and productive and suggestions from successful mid-career women academics and reflections from women who have passed the mid-career phase. Covering topics such as tenure, self-care, and academic leadership, this reference work is ideal for administrators, faculty, policymakers, academicians, scholars, researchers, practitioners, instructors, and students.
