INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This type of x-ray is called a hysterosalpingography, and most doctors recommend you have one before you are artificially inseminated. The purpose of the test is to make sure you have at least one functioning fallopian tube. Before the test, a technician will use a speculum in your vagina and then will clean out your cervix. He or she will next inject a dye into your cervix with a catheter. An x-ray is then taken with the dye in your uterus and fallopian tubes. If your tubes are open, then dye can be seen spilling out of them on the x-ray. Basically, the procedure will feel much like a pap smear. If you have abnormal results, you may need to get treatment before proceeding with insemination. It's possible you may not be able to go through with insemination at all, but your doctor will discuss your options with you. Some possible complications this test might show include obstructed fallopian tubes, scarring, polyps or tumors, intrauterine adhesion, or a development disorder in your uterus or fallopian tubes. On a positive note, the results might be normal, as well. While not all locations require this step, you may need to have tests done for sexually transmitted diseases before being inseminated. In addition, if your partner is providing sperm, he will need to be tested too. Tests can take up to a week to come back, so you'll need to do this well in advance of your insemination appointment. As you will need to be tested for a wide range of diseases, you will likely need to provide a urine sample, as well as have a swab test done of your genital area. In addition, you'll likely need a blood test. Some people choose to try insemination the first time without the addition of fertility drugs, especially if they're having normal periods. Others choose to go ahead and try fertility drugs. One of the main fertility drugs, clomiphene citrate (Clomid), works to help you release eggs when you ovulate. This drug is mainly for women who are having trouble releasing eggs at all. For example, women with PCOS often have this problem. This drug is usually taken starting at day 3 or 5 of your period, for 5 days in a row. Day 1 of your period is when first bleed. If you don't have regular periods, you may be given a drug to start your period. One consideration is that fertility drugs increase your chances of having more than one baby at once, which makes your pregnancy more dangerous. The risk of multiples with Clomid is 7%, while it is only 1% when trying to conceive without medication. Talk to your doctor about whether this drug is an appropriate choice for you.

SUMMARY: Expect an x-ray of your uterus and fallopian tubes. Discuss the results. Be ready for a test for sexually transmitted diseases. Decide whether you will use fertility drugs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Muggers and other violent criminals try to prey on easy targets: people who aren't very aware of their environment and who can be ambushed easily. So, instead of walking with your head pointed down looking at your phone, stand up straight, walk briskly, and keep your shoulders back and chin up. Avoid making eye contact with anyone who you feel may be following you, but do glance around yourself so you're aware of your surroundings. If a would-be attacker feels that you'd make a difficult target, they'll leave you alone. If the potential aggressor starts to speak to you roughly, say calming things to diffuse the situation. Ideally, you'll calm the aggressor down, or at least buy yourself enough time to leave the scene. Try saying something like, "Look, I don't think there's any reason for you to be aggressive. I'm going to get in my car and drive away now. Don't follow me." Even if the aggressor raises their voice or says insulting things, don't get into a shouting match. Stay calm and try to diffuse the situation so you can leave. When someone is approaching you aggressively, try to get away by ducking into your vehicle, walking inside a business, or blending into a crowd. If you have a chance to flee and escape a potential attack without fighting, do it. Try throwing a wallet or watch in 1 direction and then run in the opposite direction to escape. Or, if an attacker asks for your wallet, credit cards, jacket, or shoes, hand the items over. It's not worth potentially losing your life just to hang on to some money. In nearly all cases, attackers look for victims who they can easilyand quietlysubdue. Most will avoid loud situations that could draw other people (or even the police) to the scene. So, if someone is approaching you and may attack, loudly shout "Back off!" If they advance further, keep shouting. Yell something like, "Get out of here!" or "Leave me alone!" If you have a cell phone with you, you could pull it out and shout, "I'm calling 911 right now if you don't back off!" in case the aggressor attacks you. If you can't escape or diffuse the situation, begin preparing yourself for a strike. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart with your non-dominate leg in front and pointing outward. Keep your weight centered over both feet. Crouch a little so that your center of gravity is low, and bring up your hands to protect your face. This stance will make it harder to fight you and will give you more control when you need to defend yourself. Keeping your body compact will prevent you from flailing and will make it easier to keep your balance during strikes.

SUMMARY:
Project confidence and awareness so that you're not an easy target. Talk your way out of a fight to avoid physical violence. Escape the scene to lose the attacker if you have the opportunity. Shout at the aggressor to deter them from attacking you. Stand in a defensive position
