In a groundbreaking moment for gender equality in contraception, a male birth control pill has passed its first human safety test. This new pill could soon offer men an effective way to prevent pregnancy, leveling the playing field when it comes to reproductive responsibility. It’s a significant step toward shared responsibility between partners and could change the way we think about contraception forever.

The potential for this pill to transform reproductive health is huge. For years, contraception has been mainly a woman’s responsibility, but this new development opens the door for men to take an active role in family planning. Not only will it provide more options for couples, but it could also spark more open discussions around birth control and reproductive health.

This isn’t just about convenience—it’s about equality and expanding choices. With this new pill, men will have the ability to take control of their reproductive health, just like women have had with their own forms of birth control for decades. It’s a win for progress and innovation in the world of science.

Could this be the future of family planning? What are your thoughts on this groundbreaking development? Let’s hear from you! 💊👨‍🔬

Its Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day

There’s a kind of silence that follows loss.
A nursery that was never finished.
A name that never got spoken enough.
A heartbeat that played in your memory long after it stopped.

Today, we honor those babies.
The ones who were wanted, prayed for, and loved beyond words.
The ones who changed us, even if we never got to hold them long.

You don’t “move on” from that kind of love,
you carry it.
You build a life around it.
You learn to smile again, but part of your heart always remembers.

To every mom and dad missing a piece of themselves today,
you are not alone.
Your baby’s life mattered.
Their memory matters.
You matter.

Today is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, and October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

This time is dedicated to supporting the many individuals and families across Canada who are grieving the loss of a baby due to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death.

Pregnancy and infant loss is a deeply personal and often heartbreaking experience that affects not only parents, but also extended family, friends, and healthcare providers. It’s a complex grief that can be hard to put into words.

There’s no right or wrong way to grieve the loss of a child. If you know someone who has gone through this kind of loss, consider reaching out. Even a simple message can mean a lot. You can learn more about how to offer compassionate support and listen with empathy here https://mygrief.ca/mod/lesson/view.php?id=933

During pregnancy, fetal cells migrate out of the womb and into a mother’s heart, liver, lung, kidney, brain, and more. They could shape moms’ health for a lifetime, Katherine J. Wu reported in 2024:⁠ https://theatln.tc/W8aBhPp2
⁠
The presence of these cells, known as microchimerism, is thought to affect every person who has carried an embryo, even if briefly, and anyone who has ever inhabited a womb. The cross-generational transfers are bidirectional—as fetal cells cross the placenta into maternal tissues, a small number of maternal cells migrate into fetal tissues, where they can persist into adulthood. ⁠
⁠
Genetic swaps, then, might occur several times throughout a life. Some researchers believe that people may be miniature mosaics of many of their relatives, via chains of pregnancy: their older siblings, perhaps, or their maternal grandmother, or any aunts and uncles their grandmother might have conceived before their mother was born. “It’s like you carry your entire family inside of you,” Francisco Úbeda de Torres, an evolutionary biologist at the Royal Holloway University of London, told Wu.⁠
⁠
Some scientists have argued that cells so sparse and inconsistent couldn’t possibly have meaningful effects. Even among microchimerism researchers, hypotheses about what these cells do—if anything at all—remain “highly controversial,” Sing Sing Way, an immunologist and a pediatrician at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, told Wu. But many experts contend that microchimeric cells aren’t just passive passengers. They are genetically distinct entities. And they might hold sway over many aspects of health: our susceptibility to infectious or autoimmune disease, the success of pregnancies, maybe even behavior. ⁠
⁠
If these cells turn out to be as important as some scientists believe they are, they might be one of the most underappreciated architects of human life, Wu writes.
