Do Covid Vaccines Affect My Fertility?
Right after the authorities approved COVID 19 vaccines for community use in the country, an air of myth and uncertainty has surrounded the efficacy and safety of these vaccines. Some of them are sensitive concerns and still linger on. One such claim is that COVID vaccines may contribute to infertility in men and women, while the information is far from the truth, as far as recent evidence suggests

Is it safe to consider IVF treatment during the Covid Pandemic?
During the course of the past few years, infertility has been on the rise. Ever-increasing stress, exposure to pollutants, work pressure and fast-paced lifestyles have led to a constant increase in cases of infertility worldwide. Fertility treatment is a stressful situation for couples and a global pandemic adds to the list of stressors that a couple facing infertility may face already.

To Be Seen
"Do you have someone to visit you?" Her brow is gently furrowed with concern, as she knows how challenging the isolation of repeated stay at home orders can be. Widowed far too young by suicide, her heart simply cannot bear the thought of others struggling. Not like he did and not like she has.

A Better Birthday Than Expected In Lockdown
I never ever thought I would say (or think) this on the day I turn 41. A negative COVID-19 test result. Let me explain. I live in a city (Sydney, Australia) with a strict lockdown in place, all on the back of the delta COVID-19 strain getting out of control back in June 2021. All of Sydney (including the Central Coast, South Coast and Blue Mountains) has been in lockdown since the end of June, and lockdown will not be lifted until at least six million residents in New South Wales receive at least the first shot of the vaccine. That means 2.1 million people need to roll up their sleeves and get the first shot, considering that supplies are low; and the city I live in is begging for vaccines from other states in Australia. That is not a Birthday present in itself, even though the above was announced on the news on my Birthday yesterday, as at the time of writing this. I will be receiving the first AstraZeneca shot (finally) on Sunday week, all going well.

Life
"Hi, I'm Tired, what's your name?" she said, as they drove into their new town. "What number does this make love?" she asked, turning to her husband. He looked over with a little guilt in his eyes and said "Oh, I lost count after about the tenth one darlin'". She sighed, shook it off and started thinking about all she was grateful for. This was a trick she'd learned and it made the hard a little less then. The guilt she saw in his eyes wasn't warranted. This was her doing. In part, because she had itchy feet. Passed down for generations on her momma's side. In part, because she saw her husband as what he was; a frickin' genius who needed a challenge. He would have "happily" stayed a project manager at Walmart for twenty years if she hadn't pushed him to find his limits. In her defense, they had been a military family before then, and Walmart was his second corporate job. In just a few years they'd already lived in Colorado, Virginia, New York, Arkansas, and Ohio.

Point of View
Liberty I don’t remember ever crying before, but today, my tears flowed as freely as the dust that floated on the breeze and wafted across the harbor to my island sanctuary. O that my tears would be enough to wash away the misery! Alas! It was not to be.

My Bubble Is Mine, Not Yours
My bubble is not yours, it's my private area. You're not permitted to enter my bubble without seeking permission first. Like knocking before you enter my bedroom, you ask before entering my personal bubble. Like asking before entering someones home, you ask before touching me. My bubble is not yours, it's my own place to hibernate in. If I say, "don't come in", you exit my bubble immediately.

Better Together
The alarm goes off, but I’m still exhausted. In my mind, I tell myself to reach over and push the snooze, but my arms feel too heavy to lift. I sigh heavily, willing myself to sink deeper into my pillows to drown out the relentless and dreadful blaring.
