Gil Bruvel, Relative Time (1993)
http://www.liveinternet.ru/tags/surrealism/page7.html
An interesting title. Each woman has her own biological clock, which responds to her circumstances in every individual menstrual cycle. That is why there is no such thing as cycle regularity (despite the long-held simplistic belief to the contrary).
In 1970, Dr. Hugh J. Davies of Johns Hopkins University told the US Senate in the Nelson Hearings about the contraceptive Pill: “Never before in history have so many people taken such powerful medication with so little information as to its actual and potential risks. …With the introduction of such active ingredients, we are actually setting up a massive endocrinological experiment with millions of healthy women.”

Do #medical #investors know bad from good,bad from right? That #Pill #IVF = #iatrogenic = bad http://bit.ly/KSA5AA
Our old mothers know or knew in their hearts that when a woman is 30, 35 or more years old, so are her eggs… Errors can crop up in the eggs’ genetic material as they age over time. Therefore, older women are more at risk of giving birth to babies with chromosome abnormalities than younger women. And now we know also about the epigenetic consequences of old maternal age.
I swear at the Pill http://biozhena.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/the-perils-of-ivf-of-arts-of-giving-birth-at-old-maternal-age/

How the Ovulona™ helps:
An example of a non-baseline menstrual cycle with delayed ovulation and short luteal phase (only 9 days, which is abnormal).
This record illustrates how our OvulonaTM device can detect the effect of stress on the course of the menstrual cycle. Non-baseline refers to any real-life female with all the stressors of our daily life, with no baseline simplifications of conditions.
Consequently… stressors interfere with precise timing of release of reproductive hormones such as the frequency and amplitude of the gonadotrophin-releasing hormone and LH pulses, and thus delay the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge that triggers ovulation.
And the stressors may even cause the Ms. to forget her daily measurement (missing data on days 10 and 11), in spite of which the pattern is discernible and interpretable in terms of “go/no go” (or “safe/unsafe”, as some may put it).
You clearly see how much more informative the Ovulona cyclic profile is compared to the BBT, which is shown below it for comparison.

Twitter / Recent images by @bioZhena
5.5.2012
Recent images by @bioZhena is a convenient and visually stimulating - and perhaps even esthetically satisfying - entry way to @bioZhena’s recent tweets.
https://twitter.com/#!/bioZhena/media/grid = A nice grid of thumbnail images.
Most of the recent bioZhena tweets have been accompanied by the selected images, mostly of visual arts (as they like to refer to pictures, paintings, artistic illustrations). There are also occasional graphs of pertinent data under tweet-introduced discussion, and also some promotional graphics such as stills of selected bioZhena slides pertaining to a given tweet. All this is to try and help making the bioZhena subject matter and message as “user-friendly” (digestible?) as can be.

The two images accompanied bioZhena’s Weblog post “The perils of IVF, of ARTs, of giving birth at old age – part 2”, at http://biozhena.wordpress.com/2012/04/18/the-perils-of-ivf-of-arts-of-giving-birth-at-old-age-part-2/ . Gist: Tidbits from a debate at a LinkedIn group about DANGERS OF IN VITRO FERTILIZATION. And I offer Google Ngram evidence for why I was justified to exclaim, “Damn the bloody Pill”. People debate hotly burdening future generations with debt – but we don’t seem to care about burdening them with health consequences of the daft but so prevalent postponement of motherhood until it’s too late. Consequences, potential until experienced: Birth defects in IVF kids, and – theoretically, speculatively - epigenetic harm in subsequent generations of offspring. Do we really demand the direct human harm and suffering proof before reconsidering…? Is ambulance chasing the way?

See Google Ngram evidence for why I was justified to exclaim, “Damn the bloody Pill”. Politely put as: Perish the Pill! The drug created the problem that too many solve with IVF and other ARTs. People debate hotly burdening future generations with debt – but we don’t seem to care about burdening them with health consequences of the daft but so prevalent postponement of motherhood until it’s too late.

When you enter phrases or key words into the Google Books Ngram Viewer, it displays a graph showing how many times those phrases have occurred in a corpus of books (here English-language books) over the selected years (here 1960 to 2008, last year of data availability). See Ngram 10 in “The perils of IVF, of ARTs, of giving birth at old age – part 2” at http://to.ly/d0iq . It shows the data for the number of books on IVF (blue) and for the number of books about the Pill (red). Books about the Pill appear and grow in numbers in the 1960s (when the Pill was launched in the market) while IVF books only appear some 10 years later. By 1980s the IVF book numbers grow fast and far exceed the number of books about the contraceptive Pill. Even more significantly, the IVF book volume does not exhibit a declining trend (such as occurs in the Pill data after 1980). IVF books continue to be written at a relatively steady rate, significantly higher in numbers than the declining books about the Pill.

One example of how stress interferes with fertility: Luteal Phase Defect (LPD) is a well-known problem that often causes failure to conceive by healthy women. It is known to be due to the failure to produce the dominant follicle. The Ovulona detects this by the absence of the pre-ovulatory peaks (where the long-term predictive peak is driven by the maturation of the dominant follicle). Until now, the LPD condition could only be detected too late, by the distortion in the BBT temperature profile, which in LPD exhibits a collapse instead of the usual elevated temperature plateau, normally observed after ovulation. Ovulona’s diagnostic power will save fertility treatment money. This cannot be matched by ovulation kits or by any other such product.
