Are you just starting a fertility journey? You may be shocked to learn that the timeline for the development of a primordial follicle to a full-grown secondary follicle requires about 290 days or about 10 regular menstrual cycles. 🕰️ Remember, fertility is not a race against the clock, but rather a dance with time. You’ve got time on your side, and here’s how to make the most of it: 1️⃣ **Nourish Your Body**: Treat yourself to a rainbow of nutrients. Fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grains are your allies. They provide the building blocks for healthy eggs. 🍏🥦🍇 select a good high quality pre natal vitamin! 2️⃣ **Stay Active**: Find a movement that brings you joy. Exercise boosts circulation and promotes overall well-being. 🚴‍♀️🧘‍♂️ 3️⃣ **Mindfulness Matters**: Stress can be a sneaky saboteur. Incorporate mindfulness practices like meditation and deep breathing to keep your inner zen. 🧘‍♀️🌼 4️⃣ **Quality Sleep**: Prioritize restful slumber. Sleep is when your body does vital repair work. Aim for 7-9 hours a night. 😴✨ 5️⃣ **Hydration**: H2O is your fertility friend. Keep those cells happy and hydrated. 💧💦 6️⃣ **Limit Toxins**: Minimize exposure to harmful chemicals. Choose natural products and opt for organic when possible. 🌿🌱 7️⃣ **Connect with Your Tribe**: Lean on your support system. Share your journey with trusted friends and family. You’re not alone. ❤️🤗 Remember, every positive choice you make is a step towards brighter fertility prospects. 🌈 Your body has an amazing capacity to heal and rejuvenate. So, breathe deeply, savor the journey, and trust in your body’s wisdom. You’ve got this! 💪💕 #FertilityJourney #HealthyLiving #EmpowerYourFertility #YouveGotThis 🌟🌟🌟

This is great information about genetic testing. Comment below if you’ve got any questions and I’ll answer them.

Genetic Screening and Testing | RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association We reached out to our professional community that specializes in genetic screening and testing to answer some of the most frequently asked patient questions.

👀 Fertilisation check time ⠀
⠀
On the day after egg collection, our scientists examine each oocyte to see if fertilisation has occurred. Normal fertilisation is defined by the presence of 2 pronuclei (one from the s***m and one from the egg). ⠀
⠀
Although we hope all eggs collected achieve normal fertilisation, please remember it is common that some eggs either abnormally fertilise or do not fertilise. ⠀
⠀
If you have any questions about how your embryos are developing, please do not hesitate to ask your scientist!
