How to calculate ✖️➗➕➖ your due date!
⭐️ Your due date is considered to be 40 weeks (280 days) after the first day of your last menstrual 🩸period or 38 weeks (266 days) after ovulation.
💡Even if an early ultrasound is used to determine or shift your due date, it’s still based on the basic idea of a 280-day gestational period.
🤩 Assuming you know the date of your last period, your primary care provider will use this to figure out the due date.
Many midwives and obstetricians use a pregnancy 🤰 wheel, which is a simple tool that quickly gives the 280th day from your last period.
➕✖️There is a formula known as Naegele's rule.
➗➖You can calculate the date yourself using this easy rule!
To get your due date based on your menstrual 🩸period:
1. Record the date of your last period
2. Add one year
3. Add seven days
4. Move the date back three months
For example, if the first day of your last period was July 11, 2021 you would:
✔️Add 1 year - 7/11/2022
✔️Add 7 days - 7/18/2022
✔️Move the date back 3 months 4/18/2022
✔️Your due date would be April 28, 2022!
Super easy! 🤩 No need for wheels or apps!

Laughter 😂 is really great medicine!
🤩From reducing stress to boosting your immune system, there are many health benefits of busting out some laughs.
When you laugh, your body releases feel-good ✨chemicals called endorphins.
👏Those extra endorphins do more than give you a little lift — they can also reduce stress.
Each time you laugh, you breathe 🧘 more deeply.
This sends more oxygen 💨 into your lungs and helps your heart ❤️ pump oxygen-rich blood throughout your body.
💡Increased oxygen promotes healthy cell growth and allows your organs to work more efficiently, helping you feel your best.
A few minutes ⏰ of hearty laughter can reduce tension in the body and make you feel calmer.
⭐️In addition to offering benefits to your physical health, laughter 😂 benefits your mental and emotional well-being and can even help you cope with the stresses of fertility treatment!

BIKING is one of my passions! 🚴‍♀️
Beautiful Saturday to bike on Plum Island! 🤩
A rather primitive bike, no gears and a foot brake, but it was good enough to take me around the island! 🤗
Cycling is a low impact aerobic exercise that offers a wealth of benefits. 😇
It also varies in intensity, making it suitable for all levels. 😍
You can cycle as a mode of transport, for casual activity, or as an intense, competitive endeavor.😌
Cycling is a wonderful workout that keeps you active. 🏃‍♀️
It can help shape a healthy lifestyle, both physically and mentally. 👍
Hop on a bike this weekend and get pedaling! 💖

Genetic screening technologies with preimplantation genetic testing (PGT)when combined with IVF TREATMENT have made it possible:☺️
✔️To reduce the risk of passing on devastating genetic diseases 😄
✔️Learn if the embryo is male or female😌
✔️Possibly reduce the risk of recurrent miscarriage🙂
✔️And maybe improve the odds of pregnancy success! 😅
In order to do any genetic testing, cells from the embryo must be biopsied. 😮
The zona pellucida is a protective shell that envelopes the embryo. 🤗
This protective layer must be broken in order to biopsy some cells. 😲
To breakthrough, an embryologist may use a laser, acid, or glass needle. 💉
Once a tiny opening has been made at the stage when the embryo has hundreds of cells. 🥚
Some of these cells will become the fetus, others the placenta. 👶
The embryologist can take cells for testing—usually between 5 and 10 cells. 👩‍⚕️
The cells taken are ones destined to become placenta; the fetal cells are left untouched.
The embryos then needs to be cryopreserved until the results return in 2-3 weeks. 🥶
Then the healthiest embryo is chosen to replace back into the uterus! 🥰
