A transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) is a type of pelvic ultrasound that uses a probe inserted into the vagina to create detailed images of the female reproductive organs, including the uterus, ovaries, cervix, and fallopian tubes. It is commonly used for: Reasons for a Transvaginal Ultrasound • Pregnancy Monitoring: Detecting early pregnancy, confirming fetal heartbeat, or assessing complications like ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage. • Gynecological Concerns: Evaluating abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, ovarian cysts, fibroids, or endometriosis. • Infertility Assessments: Monitoring ovulation and the thickness of the uterine lining. • Cancer Screening: Detecting signs of ovarian, endometrial, or cervical cancer. Procedure 1. The patient lies on an examination table with knees bent. 2. A slim ultrasound probe, covered with a protective sheath and gel, is gently inserted into the vagina. 3. The probe emits sound waves that bounce off internal structures, creating real-time images on a screen. 4. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes and is painless or causes only mild discomfort. Preparation • Depending on the reason for the scan, you may need an empty or partially full bladder. • No special diet or fasting is required. • It’s a safe procedure with no radiation exposure.

Intrauterine Device (IUD) for Family Planning An Intrauterine Device (IUD) is a small, T-shaped device inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. It is one of the most effective forms of long-term reversible contraception (LARC) and is widely used due to its convenience and high success rate. Types of IUDs There are two main types of IUDs: 1. Hormonal IUD • Releases progestin (levonorgestrel) to thicken cervical mucus, thin the uterine lining, and sometimes stop ovulation. • Effective for 3 to 8 years, depending on the brand (e.g., Mirena, Kyleena, Jaydess). • Can make periods lighter or stop them completely, which is beneficial for people with heavy or painful periods. • Side effects: Irregular spotting, mood changes, breast tenderness (usually improve after a few months). 2. Non-Hormonal (Copper) IUD • Wrapped in copper, which is toxic to sperm, preventing fertilization. • Can last 5 to 10 years (e.g., Paragard). • No hormones, so it does not affect the menstrual cycle. • Some users may experience heavier periods and cramping. How It Works • Inserted into the uterus by a healthcare professional. • Prevents pregnancy immediately (for the copper IUD) or within 7 days (for hormonal IUDs). • Works by stopping sperm from reaching and fertilizing an egg. • Over 99% effective—less than 1 in 100 women using an IUD will get pregnant each year. Benefits of IUDs ✔️ Highly effective and long-lasting. ✔️ Reversible—fertility returns quickly after removal. ✔️ Low maintenance—no daily pills or injections. ✔️ Safe for most women, including those who cannot use estrogen-based birth control. ✔️ The hormonal IUD can reduce menstrual cramps and help with conditions like endometriosis. Who Can Use an IUD? • Most women, including those who have not had children. • People looking for long-term birth control but want the option of getting pregnant later. • Those who experience heavy periods (hormonal IUD can help reduce bleeding). • Not recommended for those with active pelvic infections, uterine abnormalities, or unexplained vaginal bleeding. Insertion and Removal • Insertion takes a few minutes and may cause some cramping. • Some doctors recommend taking a pain reliever beforehand. • It can be removed anytime by a healthcare professional if pregnancy is desired or side effects occur. Possible Side Effects • Mild cramping after insertion (resolves within a few days). • Spotting or irregular bleeding for a few months. • Rare risks: IUD expulsion (it falls out) or uterine perforation (very rare). Conclusion IUDs are a great low-maintenance, long-term contraception option with a high success rate. Whether hormonal or non-hormonal, they provide effective and reversible birth control while allowing women to take control of their reproductive health. #fyp #fypppppppppppppppppppppp #iud #familyplanning #pregnancy

Counting ovulation is key for understanding your fertility window — whether you’re trying to get pregnant or avoid pregnancy. Here’s how to do it accurately‼️ 💡 What Is Ovulation? Ovulation is when your ovary releases an egg. This usually happens once a month, and the egg can be fertilized for about 12–24 hours. However, sperm can survive in your body for up to 5 days, so your fertile window is usually 6 days (the 5 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation). ⸻ 📆 How to Count Ovulation (Regular 28-Day Cycle) 1. Know your cycle length • Count from the first day of your period to the day before your next period starts. • Most cycles are between 26–32 days. 2. Ovulation usually happens 14 days before your next period • For a 28-day cycle: Ovulation is around day 14. • For a 30-day cycle: Ovulation is around day 16. • For a 26-day cycle: Ovulation is around day 12. 3. Fertile window = ovulation day + 5 days before it • In a 28-day cycle: Fertile window is around day 9 to 14. ⸻ 📌 How to Track Ovulation (More Accurately) ✅ Signs of Ovulation: • Clear, stretchy, egg-white cervical mucus • Mild pelvic or abdominal pain (mittelschmerz) • Increased libido • Slight rise in basal body temperature (after ovulation) • Breast tenderness 📲 Use Tools: • Ovulation predictor kits (OPKs) – detect LH surge 24–36 hours before ovulation • Period tracking apps – like Flo, Clue, or Ovia • Basal body thermometer – track temperature changes daily ⸻ ✨ Example: If your period started on June 1st, and your cycle is 28 days: • Ovulation = around June 14th • Fertile window = June 9–14 ⸻ #fyp #pregnancy #fypppppppppppppppppppppp #ovulation #ovulationweek #ovulationstest

Third trimester scan? Don’t skip it! @talktonursetrendy The final scan (usually around 36–40 weeks) checks baby’s position, growth, placenta, and amniotic fluid levels. It helps plan a safe delivery—especially if baby is breech, growth-restricted, or if there are placenta concerns. Mama, your final scan could make all the difference. #PregnancyJourney #ThirdTrimester #pregancy #pregnancyscan #fyp #relatable #CapCut
