🔬ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is a fertility treatment for male infertility, where a sperm is directly injected into an egg. It shouldn’t be used when male factors aren’t present. Consult your doctor about treatment options & funding. #fertilitytreatment #icsi

🔬ICSI involves injecting a single sperm directly into an egg. After ~24 hours an embryologist checks for fertilization. The resulting embryo is then monitored & typically one embryo is transferred back to the woman’s womb. Any suitable extra embryos may be frozen. #whatisICSI

🌸It is important for all women to understand the symptoms that they may have during the perimenopause and beyond🧐

🌹In our teachers resource we have provided information about the menopause and andropause. It is essential that everyone understands. 🧐What is menopause? Periods stop❌️ No more menstrual cycles – can no longer get pregnant❌️ Every female has a different experience🌸🌈

Women need to understand their periods and when things are not right. A great initiative by Wellbeing of Women And we need education to start in schools.

❄️Women freeze their eggs to preserve their future fertility as fertility declines with age. The IRHEC have produced an information leaflet explaining it all! Check it out at eshre.eu/IRHEC.

‼️Egg freezing does not guarantee a baby. The chances of success depend on the woman’s age & the total number of eggs frozen. A woman who froze her eggs at 30 will increase her chances of pregnancy at 40 from ~7% to ~30%. Best advice: freeze eggs as early as possible

🔆In our teachers resource we have provided some information and sign posting about cancers. 🧬Cancers affecting the female reproductive system are shown in the figure.  More information can be found at the Eve Appeal web site. 🔗eveappeal.org.uk

🌸 Several cancers can affect the male reproductive system: 👉 Penile cancer 🛑 Affects skin&foreskin 🛑 Starts with an ulcer 👉 Prostate cancer 🛑 Affects the prostate gland 🛑 Causes swelling&urination 👉 Testicular cancer 🛑 Lump or change in shape/texture of testicles

For women who can’t become pregnant with their own eggs, egg donation can be an option. The chances of having a baby after egg donation depend on the age of the egg donor. We have produced an information leaflet about egg donation. Download it here: eshre.eu/IRHEC.

Egg donation is complex and there are many things to consider. It’s important for people using donor eggs or sperm to be open with their children about how they were conceived. The Donor Conception Network has developed many resources to help.
