Download or read book Infertility Sucks written by Renee Rocco and published by Nook Press. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At twenty-one, I was diagnosed with infertility. It took a decade to prove the doctors wrong. At nineteen I suffered my first ovarian cyst. Two years later a doctor declared I'd never have children. After a decade of being dismissed as a hypochondriac, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, chronic ovarian cysts, a diseased Fallopian tube, and uterine polyps. My reproductive organs were a mess, and the constant pain was unbearable. Too stubborn to give up, I became a woman on a mission. Three surgeries and two cycles of in vitro fertilization later, we had our first daughter. A quickie while she was at school gave us our second. Infertility Sucks is an honest peek into how I dealt with infertility, IVF, and the depression that followed.
Download or read book I Hear Some People Just Have Sex written by Sandra L. Vasher and published by Mortal Ink Press, LLC. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight and a Half Years Sixteen Infertility Cycles Four Timed Intercourse Cycles Two IUI Cycles Two Egg Retrievals Seven Frozen Embryo Transfers Thousands of Dollars Two Miscarriages Three Pregnancies Live Births ...? That’s my infertility story. Almost a decade of trying, almost $65,000 spent on infertility treatments. So many IVF cycles that I can give myself progesterone shots in the rear. So many transvaginal pelvic ultrasounds that a pap smear no longer impresses me. Changed relationships, changed career goals. A whole list of things no one should ever say to someone going through infertility. And almost a baby. Almost. Because even though I am scheduled for a C-section next week, as I publish this book, I still do not have any guarantees. Infertility is a hell of a life crisis. But also, if you can learn how to navigate these choppy waters—if you can learn how to let go of what you can’t control, how to cope with the hard parts you never saw coming, how to play the world’s longest waiting game—you will build resilience and grit you didn’t think you were capable of. This is not a “how to have a baby” book. It’s not a “how to survive until you have a baby” book. It’s a “how to survive and maybe even thrive while trying to have a baby” book. That’s what I know: how to survive infertility and make the best of it while you’re praying for the miracle of a baby. And I know how to survive this because I’ve done it for nearly a decade. Some people just have sex to get pregnant. Not me. Maybe not you, either. We have infertility battles to fight, and this gets worse before it gets better. But I was made strong enough for this, and so were you. Let me show you how I know.
Download or read book Breastfeeding and HIV AIDS written by Edith White and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The spread of the AIDS virus has introduced a new element into the formula-versus-breastfeeding controversy. Mothers, particularly those in developing nations, have been urged to breastfeed in order to better nourish their infants and protect them from disease or contaminants in the water used to prepare formula. Now, however, mothers and healthcare workers must consider the danger of transmitting AIDS via breastfeeding. When HIV-infected women nurse their children, they significantly increase the risk of transmitting the virus. The issue is further complicated in countries where the alternatives are not very promising and in cultures that stigmatize women for even undergoing AIDS testing. This informative analysis includes the development of research into HIV and breastfeeding, the medical and political questions surrounding the controversy, and options and solutions for women to consider in feeding their infants. Fully indexed, this book is an important contribution to the social and medical studies of one of the most tragic facets of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

There are emotional high and lows: staying hopeful while managing grief and depression, maintaining and strengthening your relationship, and navigating religious and ethical concerns.

Stronger Than Infertility breaks down complicated clinical information and expert medical advice from top specialists in the field. The book includes first-person stories and hard-won advice from women who have been down this long and often painful road (Huhman included) and offers a clear-eyed look at the emotional and psychological landmines that come with the journey.

If you don’t get pregnant in the next six months, I will get my son married again. We cannot wait any longer.’ Nikita Naredi's memoir unravels the gory reality of being a woman without a child in a boy-harping society. For a fertility expert like Naredi, treating infertility does not just involve taking care of dysfunctional people’s reproductive anatomies, pumping injections and hormones into the patient or fusing gametes in the lab but a complex mélange of uncomfortable conversations, and altered relationships with partners and families. It questions one’s faith and belief system. Experience this turbulent interplay of biology, emotions and societal expectations through this book. For a woman made to believe that motherhood alone defines her womanhood, childlessness is a shackle no woman wants. Through her experiences, Nikita has attempted to provide an honest glimpse into the lives of sub-fertile couples often riddled with self-doubt, low self-esteem, torment, travails and tribulations. In this ode to her patients, Nikita has also laid bare her own agitation when a woman is exploited, despair when her best efforts to help them conceive fail, victory and joy when the woman conceives, and overall anguish at the social fabric that ignores the predicament of childless women.
