Q: 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.
A: 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.

Article: There are two ways you can approach protein shakes. The first way is using pre-purchased protein supplements, like whey protein and flavored protein powders. The second way is using natural sources of protein, such as chia seeds, peanut butter and milk. Supplements deliver an extremely large amount of protein and are usually favored by body builders and workout enthusiasts. Natural protein sources offer a high amount of protein for the average person who isn't weight training. Whey protein is one of the two proteins found naturally in milk. The body absorbs this type of protein faster than other protein sources, which results in increased muscle protein synthesis. Whey protein also provides a large amount of the amino acid L-cysteine, which can improve deficiencies caused by many conditions, most notably aging and diabetes. It can also be beneficial for those with depression, blood pressure, blood sugar and can also help to treat symptoms of HIV and cancer. Whey protein supplements aren't known to cause liver or kidney damage. However, if you have pre-existing liver or kidney damage, whey protein supplements may worsen it. Consult your doctor before proceeding. Wash the berries well and place them into the blender, along with the rest of the ingredients. Pulse the blender on low until the ingredients are mixed well. Pour into a glass and serve immediately. Feel free to adjust the fruit ingredients to your liking. Consider adding a banana before blending your shake. The banana will up your fruit intake and result in a slightly thicker shake. Many people have no reason or desire to protein-load their bodies with the amount of protein a body builder aims to intake. Unless you have a specific reason for doing so, the average person should not use these supplements, since they may put a strain on the kidneys and liver. Furthermore, protein from food sources is more nutritionally beneficial than supplements. Protein shakes, made with natural sources, benefit most adults. Most people don't get the recommended amount of protein, 45 to 50 grams, in their daily diet. The minimum recommended daily amount (RDA) is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. To calculate your RDA, multiply your weight in pounds by 0.36. Keep in mind that the RDA is the bare minimum you should take in each day. Experts say that you should get at least twice your RDA in protein for best results. Peel the banana, cut it into large chunks and put it into the blender. Add all of the remaining ingredients. Set the blender on its lowest setting and pulse the ingredients until they are blended well. Pour the shake into a glass and serve immediately. The natural protein sources in this shake are chia seeds, peanut butter, yogurt and milk. This recipe can be made fully vegan by using soy yogurt and dairy-free milk.

Q: Flimsy, lightweight fabrics may seem breezy and casual, but they can cling to your body and actually become a bit uncomfortable. Fabrics that are a bit more substantial will make you look svelte and smooth. They offer support while also concealing any lines from undergarments. You don't need to write off fabrics like silk and cotton forever, but be sure to try different fabrics to find what feels best to you. As a heavily obese girl, it may be tempting to stay in a certain fashion comfort zone. There is nothing wrong with embracing a flowy, boho style, but try on other options too. The next time you go out clothes shopping, take something you wouldn't normally wear into the fitting room with you. You may like something you never expected to! You don't need to buy any of the clothing you try, and you don't need to show anyone. Just try to be open-minded about other styles of clothing. Remember, you won't know how something looks on you unless you give it a try. You can dress according to your body type and abide by fashion tips, but at the end of the day, you should show off whatever you want to show off! If you love your shoulders, expose them in a plunging off the shoulder top. If you love your backside, wear a formfitting skirt to boast your behind. You know better than anyone what you're working with, so highlight your best features. Don't be afraid of bright colors just make sure that the clothing fits appropriately! For a sleek look, try creating monochromatic outfits with various textures. If you want to wear stripes, opt for thin, light-colored stripes on a darker background. Vertical stripes will help you look slimmer than horizontal ones as well. If you particularly love a part of your body, wear fun, bright patterns on other parts to draw attention to it. While it's fun to highlight, accentuate, and maximize certain features, try not to worry about minimizing others. If there's an area of your body that you may not love as much as others, try something radical and show that area off! Dress to make yourself feel happy and confident, not to follow fashion "rules" or to hide your body.
A:
Pick fabrics with structure. Try on different styles. Flaunt your favorite features. Use colors and patterns to your advantage. Embrace your body.
