Ethical and Legal Considerations in Assisted Reproduction

Infertility is regarded as a health problem, and it affects approximately 8%–10% of couples worldwide.

It has become a significant concern worldwide, and the following are the reasons behind it:

Hormonal imbalance 

Excessive alcohol consumption

Smoking and using tobacco products

Substance abuse

Exposure to environmental toxins

Over-exercising

Radiation therapy or chemotherapy

Sexually transmitted infections (STIs)

Having obesity or being underweight

Chronic conditions and diseases

Age (For women in their late 30s or 40s, it is difficult to conceive, and for men, it’s 50 years).

The above listed are just a few reasons people fail to conceive. 

But here comes the solution:  Assisted Reproduction, which is a blessing for couples who struggle to conceive.

It all started at the end of the 18th century when artificial insemination with a man's semen was tried. After that, the advancement in assisted reproduction never took a back seat, and by the second half of the 20th century, two major technological advances came into existence: gamete freezing and in vitro fertilization (IVF). 

We are all aware of how popular IVF has become today.

But do you know that these practices are currently accepted only in certain countries and communities and have generated new debates and challenges for doctors, lawmakers, and society at large?

Yes! Because few people or groups are misusing these technologies.

While assisted reproductive technology (ART) has given hope to millions of couples suffering from infertility, it has also introduced countless ethical concerns along with legal and social challenges. 

However, to cope with these ethical issues in in-vitro fertilisation and other assisted reproduction techniques, guidelines have been developed by the different nations as per their standards.

But still, governments need to work on many ethical considerations.

Moving forward in this article, we will discuss a few ethical and legal  issues with Assisted Reproduction technology:

Ethical Issues

Disposal of Surplus Embryo

Multiple implantations

Selective Reduction

Access of Assisted Reproduction technology to postmenopausal women

The above-listed concerns are not restricted to one nation. But to all the places where these processes are in practice.

From the non-consensual donation of embryos to the Disposal of embryos, all the above-listed points are ethically disconcerting, particularly to those who believe that protected human life commences at conception.

Legal Issues

Paternity disputes in cases of no written consent from another partner.

Disputes can also arise over the fate of cryopreserved gametes and embryos.

Unregulated surrogacy.

Disputes between ART practitioners and the patients they serve.

All the above legal and ethical issues are quite serious. Although governments are trying to resolve these issues, the reality is this subject needs regular updation of regulations based on the situation.

The following are the few considerations that need to be taken care of.

Ethical & Legal  Consideration in ART

Clinics should be registered or supervised by the state accreditation.

Legal Guidance should be Clear. 

It is essential to ensure that children's rights are built into standards from the beginning so that legal advocacy is avoided later on.

In a surrogacy agreement, each party is to state their intentions and their responsibilities to one another.

The surrogacy agreement should also cover the following medical issues: abortion, selective reduction, medical emergencies, embryo transfers, and most importantly, the surrogate's health care.

Sperm or ovum donors' consent should be a must for lawful donation.

These are just a few considerations that are important to understand for both patients and the doctor.

The Benefits of Hands-On Training in Assisted Reproductive Techniques

The Benefits of Hands-On Training in Assisted Reproductive Techniques

Hands-on training in Assisted Reproductive Techniques such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) course, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), and ultrasound training for doctors has become increasingly important in the field of reproductive medicine. These training courses provide a range of benefits that impact both the practitioner and their clients significantly.

Enhanced Skill Development

The first major benefit of hands-on training is the enhancement of skill development. While theoretical knowledge is vital, the true mastery of any skill is marked by the practical application of that knowledge. In the context of reproductive techniques:

- Gaining practical skills in the IUI procedure boosts the confidence of practitioners, enabling them to effectively and efficiently perform the process. - Learning ICSI technique hands-on enables doctors to conduct intricate procedures with precision. - Ultrasound training courses allow doctors to interpret ultrasound images accurately, hence ensuring better diagnosis and treatment planning.

The hands-on method enhances skill development and instills in-depth understanding of the techniques, which ultimately results in better patient outcomes.

Practical Experience

Another valuable benefit is the real-world experience that practitioners acquire. By practicing procedures in a controlled environment, doctors can mistakes in a low-stakes setting before performing the actual procedure. Additionally, they gain familiarity with the tools and technology in a way that no amount of theoretical learning can substitute for. The opportunity to troubleshoot in real-time, perfect techniques, and build an efficient workflow are significant advantages of hands-on training in assisted reproductive techniques. As a result, practitioners are well-prepared to handle typical and out-of-the-ordinary situations that might arise during actual procedures, making them profoundly capable professionals in their field.

Hands-On Training in Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

Overview of IUI

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an assisted reproductive technique often employed before transitioning to complex processes such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). It involves the insertion of motile sperm into a woman’s uterus to facilitate fertilization. While a relatively straightforward process clinically and technically, the success of an IUI treatment largely depends on the precision of execution, and this is where hands-on training becomes extremely crucial.

Importance of Hands-On Training in IUI

When it comes to hands-on training in IUI, the benefits are far-reaching. • Skill Enhancement: Although simple, the technical procedure of IUI requires meticulous precision to improve success rates. Hands-on training facilitates direct manipulation and understanding of the instruments, enhancing skill levels. • Improved Understanding: Training programs offer a comprehensive understanding of the reproductive anatomy, sperm processing, and techniques for the injection of sperm into the uterus. • Confidence Building: Real-life training experience enables the practitioner to gain confidence, translating to a more comfortable patient experience during the actual procedure. • Continuous Learning Opportunity: Novel advancements and modifications in the technique are commonplace in the medical field. Attending IUI courses periodically ensures doctors stay abreast with the latest updates and nuances in IUI procedures. • Promotion of Best Practices: Training courses aid in adopting best practices and standards that contribute to better clinical outcomes.

In essence, dedicated hands-on training courses offer a unique blend of theory and practical exposure, ensuring doctors are adequately equipped to perform IUI safely and effectively. The precision, confidence, and expertise gained through such training directly translate to improved patient fertility outcomes, marking a win-win situation for both doctors and their patients.

Hands-On Training in Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

The field of assisted reproductive technology has been evolving rapidly over the past few decades. Among many procedures employed, Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) has emerged as an innovative, effective approach to treating certain types of infertility.

Overview of ICSI

Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, commonly known as ICSI, involves the injection of a single sperm into an egg to facilitate fertilization. This technique has revolutionized reproductive medicine by providing a solution for couples facing male factor infertility or other complex cases where traditional techniques like in-vitro fertilization (IVF) may not be effective.

ICSI can be broken down into several steps such as: - Preparing the sperm and the egg - Picking the most viable sperm for the injection - Performing the injection under a high-magnification microscope - Fertilizing the egg and growing the zygote in laboratory conditions until it's ready to be implanted

Importance of Hands-On Training in ICSI

Mastering ICSI requires a unique skill set and knowledge base, making hands-on training crucial for those aiming to build successful careers in assisted reproduction. Hands-on ICSI training courses can equip practitioners with practical skills and deepen their theoretical understanding.

Moreover, these training programs provide a platform to: - Grasp the critical intricacies of the procedure - Enhance micro-manipulation techniques - Discover best practice protocols and stay updated with the latest research in the field

Although the theoretical knowledge can be obtained through books and online material, the practical application of ICSI requires dexterity, precision, and experience. Therefore, thorough hands-on training is invaluable in enhancing both the competence and confidence of aspiring infertility specialists.

Hands-On Ultrasound Training for Doctors

Medical professionals in the field of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) constantly seek to augment their knowledge and skills to support patients treading the complex journey of conception. One such critical skill set involves expertise in conducting ultrasound scans, a chief diagnostic modus operandi in reproductive medicine.

Importance of Ultrasound in Assisted Reproductive Techniques

Ultrasound technology holds an indispensable role in assisted reproductive techniques like intra-uterine insemination (IUI) and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). It provides invaluable insight into the patient's reproductive health by visualizing the structure and function of the female reproductive organs, tracking ovulation, monitoring follicular development, and guiding various ART procedures. Moreover, it is utilized to assess pregnancy progression post-ART treatment.

Benefits of Hands-On Ultrasound Training for Doctors

In the realm of ART, a doctor's skill in ultrasound is as crucial as their theoretical knowledge. Hands-on ultrasound training can confer several benefits:

- Enhanced Learning Experience: Practical, hands-on training yields a profound understanding of the ultrasound machinery, patient positioning, and image interpretation. Hence, it promotes superior learning compared to mere theoretical education. - Boosted Confidence: Direct experience with ultrasound techniques adds to a doctor's confidence whilst performing ART procedures. - Improved Proficiency: Practically executing ultrasound procedures leads to enhanced competence, improving the chances of successful conception for patients. - Professional Advancement: Mastery of ultrasound techniques via hands-on training can yield greater professional opportunities and career progress in the competitive field of ART.

Ultrasound Training Courses for Doctors

Various esteemed institutions and organizations offer ultrasound training courses for doctors keen on expanding their ART-specific skills – each meticulously designed to offer an in-depth understanding of ultrasound technology's utility in ART. These courses typically involve enriching didactic lectures supplemented by practical sessions that tend to imbibe real-world proficiencies. Doctors can choose from foundational courses to advanced level education based on their existing knowledge and the skills they aim to accrue. Indeed, hands-on ultrasound training is a critical adjunct to a doctor's skill set in the domain of Assisted Reproductive Technology. It not only escalates the professional competence of practitioners but adds immense value to the patient's journey towards successful conception.

So, after the failed IUIs, our only option now is IVF. and of course, it's not covered by the insurance.

Now we have to wait a few months to save some money. And it's fucking expensive. and all the shots and medications it's alot.

The idea of IVF scares me really bad. I don't know why. It's just complicated and a lot.

It's kinda good that we have to take few months break from trying and doing all that shit. I feel emotionally drained. And lonely.

A/N: Thank you so much for this ask, this is my first time writing a fic with both characters already chosen, so this was so much fun to do! Also, apologies if it’s awkward and not what you wanted at all 😭 I didn’t know much about this topic, so I researched as much as I could. Also, sorry this took so long! Anyways, as always thank you for reading and enjoy your day :)

taglist: @sleepingbeautydo 💕

It’s often said that “third time’s the charm” or “if at first you don’t succeed, try try again” but for her it was simply something that people said to help her pass the time.

They’ve been trying to conceive a child for the past two years; her and her husband that is, but for some reason they’ve had no success. She’d been to multiple doctors who all told her “I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately after running some tests, I don’t believe you’ll be able to naturally conceive a child.”

It put lots of strain on the marriage, even though they both wished for the best. It all started to sound like a broken record; "keep your legs up when he's done", "you're probably just not relaxed", "it's never too late to adopt if you really want a child that badly". Everything that came out of everyone's mouths was insensitivity masked by fake sympathy. She truly had tried everything and absolutely nothing had helped.

She was past the point of hearing advice and she often kept to herself and had even put distance between her and her friends. Of course she didn't mean to, but there were but so many questions of "are you pregnant yet?" that So Hee could handle.

Unfortunately, there was one person she couldn't avoid; her mother. She visits quite frequently, as you would expect one’s mother to, being that she lived close by. She made it her business to visit her daughter and son in law every weekend, usually to just enjoy the time spent together but most times the day would end with how to get So Hee pregnant.

“Oh sweetie, you know Marilyn right?” She continued when So Hee slightly nodded, “Her daughter had trouble getting pregnant too but she started taking these herbs and now she’s 6 months! Maybe you should give it a try.”

“Hah mom…I don’t know if I trust anything your neighbor says, no offense.”

“What’s wrong with her? Sure she’s a little much sometimes but she has a good heart and she’s a wonderful neighbor. And it doesn’t hurt to try love.”

She walked up to So Hee, rubbing a hand up and down her back. "I hate seeing you look so down in the dumps these days. I understand what you're going through and I only want to help." She kissed her on the cheek as Kyungsoo walks into the kitchen, bags in hand. "Oh my dearest boy, where have you been?"

He walks up to her and hugs her. "I was out getting some groceries for dinner, are you staying with us tonight?"

He walked up to So Hee and pecked her lips after he set the rest of the groceries down. He loved her as much as she loved him and he also hated seeing her so down about the current situation. They both had such a strong desire to start a family and it seemed to have quickly faded into nothing but sorrow.

So Hee turns in her seat and looks up at him with her head against his chest. "Oh yeah, don't forget I have my appointment with the new doctor tomorrow morning."

"I didn't forget my love, I have it saved in my calendar and I also have an alarm set."

It was, in fact, time So Hee tried something new after giving up on trying to prove the doctors wrong. “But I’m perfectly healthy” she would say and they all looked at her with tears of their own in their eyes. It wasn’t that simple though, she was healthy but apparently it just wasn’t in her cards to have a baby when she wanted.

So, tomorrow would open up a new beginning; a start to hopefully a successful journey. She had done her research and there were enough testimonials and desperation to make her want to give artificial insemination a try. There were a few tests that needed to be run to make sure she was a good fit for the procedure, but she believed this was a guaranteed win; the solution to all her problems.

She sat on the patient's table, the back elevated so it looked more like a chair. Kyungsoo sat beside her in the extra seating, calming her nerves as he rubbed a thumb over her hand.

“Everything will be okay my love, I promise.” He says just as there’s a small knock on the door.

"Good morning, my name is Jen and I'll be your doctor today." The middle aged woman walked up to So Hee and shook both her and Kyungsoo's hand. "I hear you're interested in IUI?"

So Hee had spent about 15 minutes explaining all the methods, tests, and doctors she's visited along with basic information like family history.

"Well I have good news and bad news for you. Bad news is, we do have to run some more tests, just to make sure your fallopian tubes and uterus look normal and are able to handle the procedure. The good news is, I think you'll have great success with this method. Now, not exactly bad news, but I will say to of course not expect it to work the first time but that doesn't mean it won't work at all."

“Be honest with me…do you think it will work?” So Hee asks, her mood dampening slightly.

“Looking at your past test results, I’m sure this will be a very effective method. As long as the sperm is strong, everything should go just fine. In all my years of being a doctor, I don’t think I’ve ever seen it not work for anyone.”

That made So Hee feel much better and regain the hope she was slowly losing. She told herself not to get upset if it didn’t work, but she really really wanted this to work. After receiving the full rundown, it didn’t seem too hard of a process either. They would collect the sperm and insert it directly into the uterus; increasing her chances of getting pregnant while she’s most fertile. Two weeks later she’ll take a pregnancy test to see if it was successful.

"It's going to feel weird finishing in a cup." Kyungsoo said on their way back home. “I hope they let you in the room with me so I can at least have some motivation.”

She chuckled, “don’t worry, I’ll send you some pictures to get you through it.” She sat in silence for a few seconds, gathering the courage to ask a question. “Are you scared it won’t work?” The question was directed toward him but maybe she was asking herself out loud.

“Scared? Hmm, no. Excited? Absolutely. I know you’ll do just fine baby, and I’ll be there with you through every step of the way. You know I’m your number 1 supporter.” He kept his eyes on the road, but brought her hand up to kiss it.

So Hee smiled and fully rested her back against the seat. She was lucky to have someone like him to calm her nerves whenever she lost control of them.

The first procedure went well thankfully. She hadn’t experienced any pain through it and looked forward to seeing the results of her test in two weeks time. She was so overwhelmed with excitement, calling her closest friends to tell them the great news.

“Aww girl I’m so excited for you!

“Haha you’re better than me, I’d have him give me a little extra at home just to make sure!”

“You gotta call us and let us know what the pregnancy test says!”

All her friend’s voices coming through the speaker on her phone while they did a group FaceTime.

“Thank you guys, really. I’m happy that you’re all happy for me and I can’t wait to call you with the great news!” She smiled from ear to ear. She already started thinking about what she wanted the nursery to look like, what she needed to add to her registry and everything in between.

In two weeks, she would find out she was pregnant and could jump for joy, finally ending this long and painful journey. But as the two weeks approached at what seemed like a snail’s pace, she hadn’t felt different. Not that she would in such short time, but she always knew that after many attempts, she would at least feel something…and she didn’t. She let a few tears fall as she snapped out of her dissociation with reality, staring at the TV while the changing scenes switched rapidly.

“I’m sorry but the test came back negative. Now like I said before, it sometimes doesn’t work the first time and you are more than welcome to try again.”

So Hee couldn’t handle it, she broke down in tears, her face in her hands. This was supposed to be the last stop but she still had to be on this train of misery for who knows how long. Kyungsoo was at her side, rubbing a hand over her back. She felt like a failure in a sense, having just told her friends that she would be call in them with good news. She knew she shouldn’t have been so excited over something that she hadn’t tried yet, but she was sure this would be the end.

Kyungsoo called into his job and said he wouldn’t be coming in today so he could stay with his grieving wife. He was well aware of how much you’d need him to be there even if you yourself didn’t say it. He sat with you in silence on the couch at home, doing whatever he could to help lighten your mood.

“Kyungsoo, just…leave me alone, I don’t want to be bothered.” She said when he wrapped an arm around her and tried to pull her close.

It hurt his feelings a bit to be rejected in that way but he understood that he wouldn’t understand exactly how she felt. This was something that his ability to help only went but so far. He gave her as much space as possible, even eating dinner in separate rooms. They both got ready for bed early, the morning appointments weighing heavily on their bodies and sleep schedules.

“Do you wanna watch a movie or something until we fall asleep?” He asked when she moved under the blanket next to him.

“Do I look like I want to watch a movie?” she snapped, “Obviously you don’t care enough that I was just told we weren’t having a baby again even after trying for SO long! If this attitude is bothering you then maybe you should just leave me alone!”

“Maybe we just shouldn’t have a baby then!” He regretted the words as soon as they left his mouth, but before he could say anything, she was already crying and on the way out the door.

He didn’t really mean it, but he hated that she was starting to give up. He’d rather she be healthy and in a good headspace than to have something happen to her during the pregnancy. However, instead of voicing it out correctly, he said the first thing that popped in his mind out of anger. Of course he cared for her and her feelings, that’s what he did the most. He knew she was very in her head about it and rightfully so, but it shot a pang to his heart to hear her say he didn’t care.

And of course she only interpreted it in the way he said it and it surprised her that something like that would come out of his mouth. But it didn’t matter, she would go stay with her mom for a few days to clear her head and give Kyungsoo some space because he obviously needed it.

So Hee had only planned on staying at her mother’s house for a week but there were but so many days she felt like doing constant laundry to accommodate for her lack of extra clothing. She didn’t think ahead before she left the house, she simply left as fast as she could before she also said something she didn’t mean. Now that it was time for her to go back home, she couldn’t help but be stubborn. She wasn’t ready to face Kyungsoo again if it meant that he hadn’t changed his mind at all.

I’ll just go while I know he’s at work she told herself. Thankfully her mother was only about a 30 minute drive from home, so she could plan accordingly. Thoughts ran through her head on her drive back; maybe it was time to move, an environmental change could possibly help her. Maybe she should take her mom up on that offer for those herbs. Something, anything had to help.

Walking inside the house relaxed her; she hadn’t noticed she was so tense. They built this atmosphere with the blood sweat and tears of renovations over the years. Again, the plan was to start a family years ago so it was only right to prepare for the new addition to the family.

She walked upstairs into the dark bedroom. She didn’t bother turning on the lights, letting the shadows consume her and lead her to the bed where her eyes closed as she drifted off to sleep. The weight of an arm draped over her waist when she rolled over to switch positions. She slowly shifted to turn and see the face she had subconsciously been missing. He was sleeping peacefully for the most part, but his arm dragged her in a bit more as to not lose her warmth.

She watched his chest rise and fall, his lashes flutter against his cheek. A feeling of love swelled in her chest. He was so good to her and she got so upset with him although he just wanted the best for her. He often put her first in every possible situation out of love and care. Some days he even blames himself for her not being pregnant whether it was true or not, which of course it wasn’t. Either way, he felt so sad knowing that after a while their plans just might fall through.

"Please stay and talk to me. I understand if you want to leave after, but please just let me say what I need to first." He stared back at her when he opened his eyes, instantly melting into her touch.

“Okay…” She hadn’t noticed he was awake until he spoke.

"I'm so sorry that I let said such a thing. I in no way meant to hurt your feelings. I promise you that I wholeheartedly wish for us to start a family, but I hate to see you so disappointed. I want you to be happy, I really do. I love you so much and it made me so sad to see you cry."

Her eyes wet with tears as she laid there listening to him. She knew he didn't mean it but she was so distraught over another failed attempt that maybe she was the one actually giving up. Kyungsoo leaned forward and kissed away the tears that slid down her cheek toward the pillow. He turned her over on her back, kissing from her cheek to her neck and then down to her collarbones.

Soft, small and lingering kisses that eventually trailed back up to her lips. "I'm so sorry I hurt you."

Her brain slowly becoming fuzzy with the warm and tingly feeling that came over her from the sweetness that poured out from the man above her. He rid her of her top, the only thing that came in between him and her skin. He removed his own clothing too; aching to feel her skin against his after what felt like years. Kisses to her breasts, much sloppier than the previous ones, but nothing too lewd. Not a single inch was ignored by his plump, warm lips.

So Hee could feel her heart beating as if too close to her rib cage. He kissed the palm of her left hand before holding it, as he slowly slid the head of his dick past her entrance. A gasp left So Hee's lips, eyelids fluttering from the feeling. He didn't move too fast or too slowly; it was just the perfect pace to show her love. Their bodies moved in sync; her hips meeting his every time he thrusts into her.

“I love you, you know that right?” He placed a sweet kiss against her nose and cheeks, still moving at a steady pace.

“Yeah…I know, I love you too.” She answers breathily, wrapping her arms around his neck.

“Should I try again? Try filling you myself? Give you a baby?”

His strokes getting deeper, she closes her legs around his torso. “Yes, please Kyungsoo, let’s try again.”

His pace sped up, his hands caressing the side of her face. Moans leaving both of their lips as he slowly lead them to their orgasms. His hips stuttered, slowing him down from the accumulation of great pleasure. “Cum with me.”

She had no problem doing so, a few more thrusts from him and she came harshly; him following close behind. He laid with her, his body resting against hers but careful not to put too much weight on her. It didn’t guarantee results, but it made him feel better to try anyway. After a few minutes of relaxing on her chest, he finally pulled out.

“I’ll go get something to clean up, just rest my love.” He moved off the bed and pressed a light kiss to her stomach.

It was the dreaded two week mark once again, which meant she had to take another pregnancy test. Peeing on a stick felt more normal at this point in her life. She expected nothing of it, just doing it because she knew she had to. So her next conversation with her doctor was not at all what she imagined.

“How are you feeling today Ms. So Hee? Dr. Jen looked up from the clipboard in her hands, making direct eye contact with her patient.

“I feel great, no changes or anything.” She looks over at Kyungsoo for confirmation and he nods in agreement.

“That’s great to hear, it usually starts like that before the morning sickness kicks in.”

“So I’ve heard and I can only imagin- wait what?” So Hee stares at the doctor in confusion, heart racing with anticipation. In this moment she felt calm or a lot calmer than she expected to. Should she be excited?

A wide smile spreads over the doctor’s face, “Congratulations So Hee, you’re pregnant!”

I'm going to vent about our ongoing infertility situation.

S is now 16 months old, so it's still early in the game, but I've had my cycle back for 7 months now. It's sometimes weird and unpredictable, but so far I've ovulated every cycle.

I still ovulate around day 16 or 17, my luteal phase just varies based on if S has nursed extra. For example, 2 cycles ago I ovulated on day 16 and my LP was 12 days. Last cycle was a crazy one with ovulation on day 17 and an LP of 9 days. Tbh I need to wean her soon... It's driving me crazy to not be able to calm her because she always wants the breast.

Anyway. A charity is working with us and they've changed their operations completely. Previously they partnered with a Jewish doctor at the fertility clinic, and took his advice on things while we worked with him face to face. After 4 years of trying for S, and all blood work and all that coming back great, the charity said it was time to do IVF. We did and it resulted in 7 frozen embryos and baby S, BH.

Now, they've got their own medical team who we cannot see face to face. For whatever reason even though they asked for medical records and history twice and we gave it twice, they still don't know anything about us. They want us to do everything all over again because they want us to get pregnant naturally. Uh yeah so do I, obviously, but we've done all this already??? They are not considering a FET right now and want to tweak me first to see if natural is possible and maybe go for IUI...

Worst thing is that now that I did my blood work again, my FSH came back slightly high at 10.1, and my thyroid is at 3.4, while they normally want 2.5 or lower. These are problems I didn't have previously, so seeing them as some sort of solution to our problem would be wrong. Of course I do need to check the thyroid thing because my mum has Hashimotos, but it's not the cause of our fertility issues.

Honestly, I think if we want to have another child in a reasonable time frame (I'm not again going to try for 4 years ugh, I'm 36!), we may have to do this on our own. 😐

[thedoover-if]

i'll just call myself the avoidance anon (lol) and yes, we're doing much better, thank you! I'm happy to say that, as a big FU to my (ex) dad, I am now earning three times his salary. haha

anyways, on the subject of kids, I have this scenario where my PC have always wanted to have a child (totally not me btw) but obviously that didn't happen bc of the cheating and divorce. in a game I played recently, the MC's mother had artifical insemination to have a baby. so what if our PC did that too (we better be making big bucks as a marriage councellor or i'll sue) a year or two after the divorce.

I hc my PC as someone who overworks to cope (if I can't see you, you can't see me) and kinda just... forgets to take care of themselves at some point. while spending a day-off on their favorite cafe, they happen to see a happy family walk by and after almost a week of thinking, they're on their way to get an IUI. a few months later, its confirmed that they're pregnant and affectionately call the bundle of joy, 'my miracle'. ('I lost myself but I found you, my tiny miracle')

on the night of the accident, PC asked the sweet old couple next door to babysit bc they're working late aaand... there goes the plot. at some point after the accident, the ex-spouse somehow meets the child and is curious about the father and (possibly) gets even more heartbroken realizing PC most likely went through a pregnancy alone; the morning sickness, pregnancy cravings, and the heightened emotions on top of the soreness.

ex-spouse: 'oh, what are you drawing?'

(c/n): 'ms. penny said to draw my family. this is me; I'm a prince/princess.'

ex-spouse: "oh, is this your mommy and daddy, then?"

(c/n): 'no, mommy is the fairy godmother. that's daddy and his princess.'

ex-spouse: 'your daddy and... his princess?'

(c/n): 'mmh! mommy said my real daddy left to look for his true love, and that they lived happily ever after.'

(the skit is purely for emotional damage LOLOLOL)

ex-spouse is left to be a silent observer as he watches PC put the child to sleep by singing them a lullaby (think 'never grow up' by ts) and watch them be the mother they always wanted to be, except, the spot next to them was empty (different from his imagination) and the warm, loving gaze PC used to give him was now directed at someone else.

for extra angst, i'd like to imagine the ex-spouse's parents being aware that PC had a baby and sends birthday and holiday gifts for the little one. they were even there for the baby's birth. when the ex later called his parents to ask why they didn't say anything to him about the baby, they simply said 'it was none of his business'. of course, the parents would notice PC overworking themselves, but months later, they saw small, positive change with the PC, and when they opened up they were, in fact, pregnant, they didn't want their kid to ruin the happiness PC found (again)

at this point, it just became a mini-au of an au. I'M JSUT SO EXCITED FOR THIS IF JSJAKPQXNWO

ITS A BABY!!!

So I know no one is really reading my blog but it still feels good to type It all out.

Back in March 2023, I had tried getting pregnant by having IUI done. IUI aka insemination. It had failed. My boyfriend and I have been trying for about 2 years with no success. About a month before the IUI, I started seeing a fertility specialist. Given I had PCOS, the doctor prescribed me with metformin. Usually it is prescribed for people with diabetes but can also help with symptoms of PCOS. One big issue with PCOS is infertility or a hard time being able to conceive.

After the IUI failed, I was deeply disappointed. It broke my heart. Just made me feel like something was wrong with me and maybe it just wasn't in the cards for me. Everyone kept saying " stop thinking about it, stop trying, just have fun and when its your time , you'll know" . at first I was like "meh, ok" . I slowly was starting to accept my fate, if I can't get pregnant , there are other options or maybe its just not in the cards. So I kept trying to put it in the back of my mind and just have lots of fun ;) Lots and lots of fun!

Fast forward to October 16th, 2023..

Woke up sick sick sick>_< .. took a covid test and of course was fucking positive.. damn covid got me.. I was home the whole week sick.. kept vomiting every morning on top of annoying cold symptoms.. my boyfriend had also gotten sick with me.. As I kept on puking every morning, I realized my period was late (9/13/23) so Monday 10/23 I decided to take my first pregnancy test and it was POSITIVE! I was in shock and was pacing around the house . it was like 5:30 in the morning. I texted my boyfriend and he was happy and shocked like me!

2 days later I took another test !

At this point , this has to be real! Couple days later, I went to the doctors and they once again confirmed a positive pregnancy test.

then this past Wednesday I got an ultrasound and saw my lil peanut for the first time <3

this is our lil miracle and im forever grateful.

Stay tuned for our journey :)

Intrauterine insemination treatment procedure helps to increase the chances of fertilization and also beneficial treatment option for a low sperm count. IUI involves the placement of washed and concentrated sperm directly into the uterus, bypassing the cervix and reducing the distance the sperm need to travel to reach the egg. This increases the likelihood that at least some of the sperm will reach the egg and fertilize it.

Sometimes IUI may not be suitable for all cases of low sperm count, and other treatment option may require to be considered. It is good to consult with one of the best fertility treatment center in Bhubaneswar to determine the most appropriate course of treatment based on individual conditions.
