Welcome to the April Monthly Marvel Muster! I'm back with two months' worth of news and reviews of what's new at the House of Ideas.
This month we have only three new ongoing series, but also a rather daunting list of new mini-series exploring every corner of the Marvel Universe.
After a brief pause at the beginning of the year, the Marvel Event cycle is up and running again. War of the Realms begins in April, but it'll be sharing space with the latest in the seemingly endless run of X-Men Events: Age of X-Man. Last week Marvel announced what's next for the X-Men after Age of X-Man and… it's another Event from another new creative team. I'm exhausted just typing that.
Magnificent Ms. Marvel #1 – Cover by Eduard Petrovich
Marvel debuted only two new ongoing series in February, and one in March. Gerry Duggan and Ron Garney's Savage Sword of Conan makes Conan the Barbarian the only character other than Spider-Man to star in two currently ongoing solo series from Marvel. And Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto's new run of Daredevil proves that the Man Without Fear cannot catch a break, dropping him into a brand-new crisis at least partially of his own making.
In March all eyes were on Saladin Ahmed and Minkyu Jung's new Kamala Khan ongoing, The Magnificent Ms. Marvel. Following G. Willow Wilson's groundbreaking five-year run on Ms. Marvel with art by Adrian Alphona, Takeshi Miyazawa, and Nico Leon is sure to be a challenge, but Ahmed and Jung have two secret weapons carried over from Wilson's run: colourist Ian Herring and letterer Joe Caramagna.
A Mini-Series for All My Friends
When I said the list of new mini-series in February and March was rather daunting, I might have been underplaying it. Marvel debuted nine new mini-series in February, and ten in March. There are enough new series here that I'm splitting it into sub-sections.
Age of X-Man
Age of X-Man: The Marvelous X-Men #1 – Cover by Phil Noto
First up is Age of X-Man. The latest in a long, unending line of X-Men events, Age of X-Man is playing out over the course of six interconnected mini-series exploring different parts of an Alternate Universe Mutant Utopia created by powerful mutant Nate Summers, aka X-Man.
Age of X-Man: The Marvelous X-Men by Lonnie Nadler, Zac Thompson, and Marco Failla features Jean Grey, Colossus, Storm, X-23, Nature Girl, Magneto, and Nightcrawler as the world's premier superhero team.
The younger mutants are represented in Ed Brisson and Marcus To's Age of X-Man: Nextgen, a deliberate riff on Grant Morrison's classic run of New X-Men, in which Glob, Armor, Anole, and Rockslide attend classes and rebel against authority at the Summers Institute for Higher Learning.
Every world needs a superstar, and in Nate's Mutant Utopia, that superstar is the Amazing Nightcrawler. Age of X-Man: The Amazing Nightcrawler by Seanan McGuire and Juan Frigeri introduces the Utopia's biggest celebrity superhero, coming soon to a summer blockbuster near you.
Age of X-Man: The X-Tremists, by Leah Williams and Georges Jeanty, is the Utopia's X-Force equivalent. In a world where love is apparently illegal, Psylocke, Iceman, Northstar, Blob, and Jubilee are the creepy overprotective heroes nobody ever wanted or needed.
Vita Ayala and German Peralta take us inside the Mutant Utopia's decidedly non-utopian side. In Age of X-Man: Prisoner X, Nate's Danger Room prison acquires its newest inmate: Lucas Bishop.
And finally, Age of X-Man: Apocalypse & the X-Tracts by Tim Seeley and Salva Espin stars the titular villain, this time leading his acolytes in the romantic resistance against Nate's loveless Utopia.
A Spider-Man for All Seasons
Spider-Man: Life Story #1 – Cover by Chip Zdarsky
If such a thing is even possible, Marvel may be reaching Peak Spider-Man. Or at least Peak Peter Parker.
Peter Parker headlined nine issues worth of content in March, in three ongoing series and three new mini-series. While Nick Spencer and Ryan Otley's Amazing Spider-Man, Tom Taylor and Juann Cabal's Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and Robbie Thompson, Matt Horak, and Jim Towe's Spider-Man/Deadpool all explore different facets of Peter Parker within the main Marvel universe, February and March's three new mini-series each offered a different alternate take on our boy Peter.
Spider-Man: Far From Home Prelude by Will Corona Pilgrim and Luc Maresca is a look-in at the MCU version of Peter Parker in the lead-up to this summer's anticipated blockbuster. Marvel's Spider-Man: City at War by Dennis Hopeless and Michele Bandini explores the universe of the successful Marvel's Spider-Man video game. And Spider-Man: Life Story is Chip Zdarsky and Mark Bagley's reimagining of Peter Parker's long history as if it had all actually happened over the course of fifty years in Peter Parker's life.
Just in case that wasn't enough Peter Parker for you, Symbiote Spider-Man by Peter David, Greg Land, and Iban Coello debuts in April.
Retelling the Story
Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History #1 – Cover by Gerardo Zaffino
2018 is all about history at Marvel, and they're starting off the year with Marvels Annotated, a deluxe four-part 25th anniversary reissue of Alex Ross and Kurt Busiek's landmark series. Each issue is packed with bonus content including variant covers and detailed notes from Ross and Busiek.
If you want your Marvel history considerably more tongue in cheek, the comedic writing team of Paul Scheer and Nick Giovannetti teamed up with artist Gerardo Sandoval for Cosmic Ghost Rider Destroys Marvel History, in which Frank Castle, Ghost Rider, shares a rather embellished version of his part in the big events of Marvel history.
Wolverine: Infinity Watch #1 – Cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli, Roberto Poggi and Dean White
But wait, there's so much more.
Wolverine is back for real now, and post-Infinity Wars he's traveling through space with Loki in Gerry Duggan and Andy MacDonald's Wolverine: Infinity Watch, which started in February. Also in February, Al Ewing, Jim Zub & Mark Waid teamed up with Paco Medina and Sean Izaake for the somewhat quirky 10-issue weekly series Avengers: No Road Home; Greg Pak and Ario Anindito conclude the Weapon H storyline with the three-part Hulkverines mini-series; and Ethan Sacks and Robert Gill give Star-Lord the now de riguer dystopian future-treatment with Old Man Quill.
In March releases, the Pirate Queen Bêlit becomes the first Conan character to get a mini-series with Age of Conan: Bêlit by Tini Howard and Kate Niemczyk; Robbie Thompson and Niko Henrichon tell the story of a secret family of shapeshifting spies in Meet the Skrulls; Gail Simone and David Baldeon follow up the cancelled Domino ongoing with the three-part story, Domino: Hotshots; and Ms. Marvel and Squirrel Girl team up in Nilah Magruder and Roberto Di Salvo's five-issue Marvel Rising, which unlike Marvel's previous Marvel Rising series is consistently titled and sensibly numbered.
Ms. Marvel #38 – Cover by Sara Pichelli and Justin Ponsor
There were a lot more beginnings than endings in February and March. Only one series came to a close in the last two months, but it was a big one. G. Willow Wilson and Nico Leon closed the book on Wilson's five years with Kamala Khan with Ms. Marvel #38.
Alongside Wilson and Leon, the lighthearted final issue features guest writers Devin Grayson, Eve L. Ewing, Jim Zub, and Saladin Ahmed, and art by Takeshi Miyazawa, Joey Vazquez, Kevin Libranda, and Minkyu Jung & Juan Vlasco, as well as a lovely, quiet one-page story by colourist Ian Herring.
Ms. Marvel was kept company by the final issues of three mini-series in February: Marvel's Avengers Endgame Prelude by Will Corona Pilgrim and Paco Diaz, Black Panther vs. Deadpool by Daniel Kibblesmith and Ricardo López Ortiz, and Shatterstar by Tim Seeley, Carlos Villa, and Gerardo Sandoval, and three more in March: Killmonger by Bryan Hill and Juan Ferreyra, Black Order by Derek Landy and Philip Tan, and Star Wars: Han Solo—Imperial Cadet by Robbie Thompson and Leonard Kirk.
Colourist Spotlight: Ian Herring

G. Willow Wilson isn't the only one who worked on sixty issues of Ms. Marvel. Colourist Ian Herring was there every step of the way, and he's not done yet. Herring will continue to set the palette of Kamala Khan's world in Saladin Ahmed and Minkyu Jung's The Magnificent Ms. Marvel.
Herring doesn't get enough credit for his role in creating the persistent visual style of Ms. Marvel. The artists may change, but Kamala Khan and Jersey City always look the same. With a subtle palette heavy on yellows, browns and muted greens and purples, Herring has made Ms. Marvel look distinctive and consistent for five straight years. With Ahmed and Jung taking Kamala in new directions in The Magnificent Ms. Marvel, it's nice to know they'll have the solid grounding of Ian Herring keeping them connected to all the stories that have come before.
Jonathan Hickman's House of X
House of X #1 – Cover by Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia
The latest highly-hyped X-Men announcement is the return of Jonathan Hickman to Marvel. Starting in July he'll be writing two six-part X-Men mini-series. House of X with artist Pepe Larraz, and Powers of X with artist R.B. Silva.
In theory this is exciting. Jonathan Hickman writing the X-Men is big news, he's a popular and successful writer with a large fan base and getting him on board suggests that Marvel are ready to really take the X-Men seriously again.
But I'm wary of all big X-Men announcements at this point, because they're so constant. In the fall of 2015, the X-Men were ushered into the All-New All-Different Marvel era with Extraordinary X-Men by Jeff Lemire and Humberto Ramos, All-New X-Men by Dennis Hopeless and Mark Bagley, and Uncanny X-Men by Cullen Bunn and Greg Land.
Within eighteen months all of those titles and most of those creators would be gone. After Charles Soule's Inhumans vs. X-Men Event, the new titles were Cullen Bunn's X-Men Blue, and Marc Guggenheim's X-Men Gold, both with a constant rotation of artists. The solicit for X-Men Gold #1 announced "A new beginning for the strangest heroes of all starts here!" This new beginning also lasted eighteen months.
"The flagship X-Men series that started it all is back and better than ever!" the November 2018 solicits declared. The "X-Men Disassembled" storyline of Uncanny X-Men with multiple creators and a ten-part weekly storyline was supposed to revitalize the franchise.
And now that run is already ending with issues #21 and #22 shipping in July. "Better than ever," lasted an entire eight months. Now we have a "revolutionary new direction," and the "next seminal moment in the history of the X-Men."
The X-Men need a Dan Slott on Amazing Spider-Man, a Jason Aaron on Thor, or a Charles Soule on Daredevil. They need one writer, with a consistent vision and characterization and some actual long-arc storytelling that isn't just a lurch from crisis to crisis.
Will they get that in Jonathan Hickman? I don't know. I'm not even that big a fan of Hickman's writing, and yet I hope House of X and Powers of X are the lead-in to him taking over the franchise long-term. And if not him, someone. Anyone. Just as long as they're still writing the X-Men in two years' time.
War of the Realms #1 – Cover by Arthur Adams and Matthew Wilson
It's been a long time since I was actually excited about a Marvel event, but I'm looking forward to this one. The big difference between War of the Realms and many of the events that have come before it? Time. Jason Aaron has been laying the groundwork for this storyline since he and Russell Dauterman introduced Jane Foster as the new Thor in 2014. It's not an event conjured seemingly out of thin air, it's the culmination of years of worldbuilding and relationship development.
War of the Realms is going to be over by the end of June, and Marvel's already-released July solicits give some clues as to what's next in the Asgardian corner of the Marvel Universe. Jason Aaron apparently has one more arc of Thor to write before letting go of the title, and both Loki and Jane Foster will be getting their own solo series, Jane under the title Valkyrie.
Star Wars Gets the One-Shots Treatment
Star Wars: Age of Republic – Padmé Amidala #1 – Cover by Paolo Rivera
This spring into summer, Marvel are releasing three series in a row of related one-shots—Star Wars: Age of Republic, Star Wars: Age of Rebellion, and Star Wars: Age of Resistance—which promise to "chronologically tell a series of spectacular adventures featuring your favorite characters from ALL THREE STAR WARS TRILOGIES!" (Emphasis theirs.)
Beginning in December, the Star Wars: Age of Republic one-shots have all been written by Jody Houser, with artist Cory Smith on the one-shots starring Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Padmé Amidala, and Luke Ross on the one-shots starring Darth Maul, Jango Fett, Count Dooku, and General Grievous.
Greg Pak, the recently-announced new writer of the ongoing Star Wars series, is the writer of all the Star Wars: Age of Rebellion one-shots, with artist Chris Sprouse on the one-shots for Princess Leia, Han Solo, Lando Calrissian, and Luke Skywalker; and Mark Laming as artist on the one-shots for Grand Moff Tarkin, Boba Fett, Jabba the Hutt, and Darth Vader.
And Tom Taylor is writing the Star War: Age of Rebellion one-shots, with Ramon Rosanas and Leonard Kirk on art, but so far only the Finn, Rey, and Phasma issues have been announced.
Nadia Van Dyne—Bipolar Superhero
The Unstoppable Wasp #4 – Cover by Stacey Lee
While The Unstoppable Wasp is mostly a lighthearted all-ages comic, Jeremy Whitley has never shied away from awkward or difficult topics, and he usually handles them with a surprisingly deft touch. But I'm not sure that applies to the latest twist in Nadia Van Dyne's story. In a two-part storyline in The Unstoppable Wasp #4 and #5, Nadia Van Dyne is revealed to be bipolar as she has what appears to be her first major manic episode.
Whitley seems to be trying to do two things here: draw on Nadia's father Hank Pym's rather notorious history of tumultuous mental health to tell a story about the inherited aspects of mental illness, and highlight that even a character as inherently enthusiastic and upbeat as Nadia Van Dyne can be mentally ill. But as a bipolar reader, I'm not sure he's succeeding at either.
It's a really good concept, and I think it could be a good story, but there's something a little too Very Special Episode about the way this plot line was basically introduced and resolved within two issues without anything in the way of real build-up. I'm also disconcerted by the degree to which I didn't recognize myself in this narrative. Everyone's brain is different, and I'd never expect anyone else's experience to perfectly match my own, but still, that feels off.
I'm reserving judgment for now, and keeping an eye on where Nadia's story goes from here, but my previous enthusiasm for this title is definitely somewhat dampened for the time being.
March and April Highs and Lows:
Daredevil #1-#3
Daredevil #1 – Cover by Julian Tedesco
Marco Checchetto (artist), Clayton Cowles (letterer), Sunny Gho (color artist), Chip Zdarsky (writer)
I've never been a huge fan of Daredevil. He's one of those characters who I greatly enjoy in team books and when he guest stars in other series, but I usually find his solo books too dark, too broody, and too violent for my tastes. But I adore Chip Zdarsky's writing, and Marco Checchetto's art is invariably beautiful, so I was more than happy to give this book a chance.
I'm so very glad I did.
Three issues in, Zdarsky and Checchetto are putting together a story about the seductive nature of violence and the ways becoming an avatar of vigilante justice will fuck with your head, that's remarkably nuanced and pleasingly slippery. Stories where a superhero is accused of killing someone in a fight and have to prove their innocence are a cliche of the genre at this point, but I think this is the first one I've read where I've not actually been sure from the beginning that the hero is innocent.
As much as I'm loving the plot, I'm loving Checchetto and Gho's art even more. Everything about this book is gorgeous: the layouts, the colors, the details of body language and facial expression, and the absolutely brilliant use of shadows in the recurring scenes set in Matt's bedroom.
The Magnificent Ms. Marvel #1
Saladin Ahmed (writer), Joe Caramagna (letterer), Ian Herring (color artist), Minkyu Jung (penciler), Juan Vlasco (inker)
Oof. I'm going to give this one at least one more issue to win me over, but based just on this first issue I'm not in love. There are some flashes of the Kamala Khan I love—especially the scene where she meets Nakia at a cafe and retells the story of how she got her powers—but much of it just feels a couple of degrees sideways of how I see the characters, and as such some scenes that were supposed to be serious and emotional just left me feeling cold.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with Ahmed's writing, or just an issue with me and Ahmed's writing. I had similar issues getting into his Miles Morales: Spider-Man, although so far I've liked each issue of that slightly more than the one before. Maybe that will happen with The Magnificent Ms. Marvel too, I certainly hope so. Right now though, based on this one issue and on the future solicits that promise Ahmed and Jung are taking Kamala out of her grounding in Jersey City and sending her to space, I am decidedly nervous.
This is my first experience with Minkyu Jung's art and I mostly like it, but I find some of his choices in fight scenes a little hard to follow. There are several panels where he tries to portray the kinetic energy of Kamala's powers in a fight, but ends up instead making it look like she's acquired a suspicious shadow. I spent several minutes staring at one panel on page three trying to determine if it was supposed to be showing two version of Kamala in motion, or some sort of creepy doppelganger following her.
Spider-Man: Life Story #1
Mark Bagley (penciler), Frank D'Armata (color artist), John Dell (inker), Travis Lanham (letterer), Chip Zdarsky (writer)
Apparently this is the month where I just rave about Chip Zdarsky's writing a lot. I'd say I'm sorry, but I'm really not. The premise of Spider-Man: Life Story is simple, yet brilliant—what if all the big events of Spider-Man's history had taken place in real-time, as Peter Parker aged in time with our world, rather than staying perpetually young in the telescoping timeline of comics?
In issue #1: The '60s, Zdarsky and Mark Bagley take on some of the classic foundational stories of Peter's past—his friendships with Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn, Flash Thompson going to Vietnam, Spider-Man's first run-ins with the Green Goblin—while grounding them in the reality of life in the US at the time, the Vietnam War lurking in the background of every scene.
I particularly loved the scene where Peter talks to Captain America about his conflicted feelings over whether or not he should sign up. Peter ends up staying home, but Steve doesn't, and the consequences of that decision are a subplot I look forward to seeing explored in future issues.
Bagley's art is always solid, and I especially admire the way he can play with a variety of layouts without the story ever becoming hard to follow. I find his Peter here a bit more fresh-faced and guileless than I prefer, but that's personal preference more than anything else, and it absolutely suits the story and the era.
Avengers: No Road Home #1-#7
Avengers No Road Home #1 – Cover by Yasmine Putri
Jesus Aburtov (color artist), Erick Arciniega (color artist), Al Ewing (writer), Sean Izaakse (artist), Paco Medina (penciler), Marcio Menyz (color artist), Cory Petit (letterer), Jay David Ramos (color artist), Joe Sabino (letterer), Juan Vlasco (inker), Mark Waid (writer), Jim Zub (writer)
I started reading this by accident, but I've found it remarkably enjoyable, which I did not expect. I hated a lot of things about Marvel's last weekly Avengers series: Avengers No Surrender, but despite being something of a sequel to that story, Avengers: No Road Home manages to avoid many of the issues I found so frustrating.
The biggest thing No Road Home has on its side is that it's not trying to be a big, all-encompassing story about every Avenger ever. It's a small, consistent, somewhat quirky and unexpected combination of characters, and with the exception of the surprise addition of Conan the Barbarian in issue #6, the characters in issue #7 are the same characters we've been following since issue #1. Also, it's a ten-issue story, rather than the monster sixteen issues of No Surrender.
Avengers: No Road Home is a side story, a pleasant diversion with no relation to the plot in Jason Aaron's primary Avengers title. It doesn't take itself too seriously and it doesn't expect readers to either, it's just old-school pulpy fun that gets off on watching unusual combinations of characters spark and clash with each other, and it turns out that's exactly the kind of story I was craving.
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #42
The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl #38 – Cover by Erica Henderson
Derek Charm (artist), Naomi Franquiz (artist), Erica Henderson (artist), Travis Lanham (letterer), Ryan North (writer), Rico Renzi (color artist & trading card artist)
If you'd told me four years ago that I would one day read Ryan North's fiftieth issue of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, I would not have believed you. I expected it to last ten to twelve issues at most, maybe eighteen or twenty if Ryan North and Erica Henderson were especially lucky.
But here we are, fifty issues and one near-seamless artist change later, and Doreen Green and her friends are still going strong. This isn't a serious story, or a particularly complex one, for all that it's a time travel paradox, but it's a wonderful celebration of Doreen and Nancy and what makes them such delightful heroines to follow. The three artists all do a great job with the three eras of Doreen's life, and Erica Henderson's return for the young Doreen section was an especially delightful surprise. (The cover credits say "Henderson (!!!)" which was in fact my exact reaction to seeing her name there.)
Rico Renzi's contribution to the consistent look and feel of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl is particularly noticeable in this issue. His colors turn three artists' work into one coherent narrative, while still playing to the different strengths of each artists.
Here's to fifty Unbeatable Issues! May we get at least fifty more!


I recently had an ectopic pregnancy, I didn't go through any surgery but instead had 2 shots of methotrexate for two consecutive weeks. My doctor says I can try again after one normal period cycle. I am extremely worried if this may repeat. I also feel slight pain near my right ovary where the ectopic occurred and am wondering if there is a scarring. Is this common? Can you recommend when I should try to conceive again?
Methotrexate is a drug used for treating cancer, autoimmune diseases, ectopic pregnancies and to induce abortions. It is known to act as an inhibitor of folic acid metabolism and prevent cell growth.
Folic acid is known to be very important as a preconception vitamin in the prevention of spina bifida and neuro tubal defects.
The human body needs folate to synthesize DNA, repair DNA, and methylate DNA (for gene expression). Folate is important during embryogenesis (pregnancy) and growth (infancy) because it stimulates rapid cell division.
Methotrexate is a highly teratogenic drug , which means that it can cause birth defects because it inhibits cell growth. That's why it is used to treat cancers and ectopic pregnancies.
important in preventing damage of the Fallopian tube. If the embryo keeps on growing it can rupture the tube.
To offset the toxic effects of this drug a fertility cleanse would be recommended. Also, making sure to have adequate intake of prenatal vitamins or better of fertility vitamins with special focus on folic acid in the amount of at least 1 mg per day to prevent deficiency.
Taking the time of follow a good prenatal program that consists on healthy, nutrition, vitamins minerals and detox will ensure that your next pregnancy will be a healthy one.
There is little you can do to prevent having another ectopic pregnancy, but once you have you will be at risk. Most ectopic pregnancy are caused by scarring on the fallopian tube or ovary and this can be treated with homeopathic medicine. Thiosinaminum 6X taken daily for a period of 4-6 months is recommended by most homeopath to treat scarred fallopian tubes. Castor oil packs and self fertility massage can also help reabsorb scar tissue.
I would also recommend learning more about the Fallopian Wise Kit to help prepare your fallopian tubes for a healthy pregnancy.
Do not worry about your next pregnancy, most women who had an ectopic pregnancy ended up having healthy pregnancies after that, including myself.
What can I do or Take to improve my chances of conceiving? I lost my other tube 4 months ago due to ectopic complications.
I would recommend using the FallopianWise Fertility Kit to help make sure the other tube is completely is healthy. If the ectopic pregnancy was caused by scar tissue or endometriosis, this kit will help decrease scar tissue adhesions and endometriosis.
If is also recommended to do a fertility cleanse before conception in order to help your body eliminate excess estrogen that in some cases can be the root cause of tubal pregnancy.
2 years ago I had an ectopic pregnancy, my right hand side tube was ruptured because the egg burst while in the tube. I is close to a year and half now trying to conceive but I am failing. Please help me I need to have my own child. What should I do? I cry everyday when I think of this, please please please help me. Tellme what to do.
Consider doing a physical activity like yoga. It will help you a lot because yoga helps mind-body healing in a very gentle way while supporting relaxation, and stress release.
Most women go on having children after one ruptured Fallopian tube provided that the other tube is fine, that she ovulates regularly and has enough fertile cervical mucus around ovulation time. And also provided that her husband has healthy sperm count.
If you have not been able to conceive after two years you should consult with a fertility doctor to investigate your fertility status and make sure that everything is in working order.
I tell you this because women who had a tubal pregnancy are at higher risk of having another one if certain risk factors are not prevented.
1. Salpingitis or inflammation of the Fallopian tubes.
2. Inflammation of the uterus or ovaries due to pelvic inflammatory disease.
3. Infection past or current of tuberculosis, candidia, gonorrhea or chlamydia.
4. Use of fertility drugs and long term use of birth control.
5. Damaged or unusually shaped Fallopian tubes.
6. Use of intrauterine device (IUD).
9. Hydrosalpinx, fluid build up in the Fallopian tubes. This is the main cause of blocked tube, giving the tube a characteristic sausage-like shape.
10. Toxicity, which is the main cause of infertility.
It is possible to prevent most of the above conditions naturally by following a healthy diet. I would recommend the Fertility Cook Book that teaches how to cook to bust your fertility. Preparing healthy meals is key in helping your body recuperate physically and mentally after your loss.
The next step is to cleanse your body from toxins. When your liver is overwhelmed by toxins, your body may experience hormonal imbalance, poor egg quality and poor metabolic response.
I would recommend doing the Fertility Cleanse for at lease one month.
After that to support you Fallopian tube, Fallopian Wise Kit is an excellent way to make sure your tube is healthy to allow you to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy.
Don' t despair, you will be soon a Mom.

easyGym have won the first half of the Division A team squash league, despite losing their final match before the Christmas break.
Team AON won 3-2 in individual matches, however, the victory wasn't big enough for them to overturn the 46-point deficit they needed to take top spot from their opponents.
Dave Norman and Malcolm Levy had given the hosts the perfect start, but Jason Crease and Mason McLarney levelled proceedings.
In the decider, easyGym five-string Steve Morley was beaten in straight sets, but the early-season performances proved to be vital as the Oranges had a large enough cushion to claim the first half title.
Their winning margin after all fixtures were fulfilled stood at 21 points, having lost just twice all campaign - both of those defeats against AON.
In the top tier's other fixture, Cannell Print saw off Stoneart 4-1.
There were 3-0 wins for Thom Whiteway, Ashley Sandiford-Sykes and Rob Colquitt, while teenager Ben Peach registered an impressive four-set victory over Allister Crossley.
Steve Baker got the only win of the night for Stoneart as he overcame Mike Hayler 3-1.
After the Christmas interval, the second period gets underway where the four teams will compete to top the second half table.
A grand final will be required should there be different winners in the two periods.

This research tries to answer the question: "How strong is the dependency of the GDP of a country to the amount of Credits in the economy?". The main results implied a strong dependency of these two macro variables, and it was also found that to the contrary of predictions, the effects of more loans can be felt the same year, giving more loans in a certain year will increase the GDP in that same year more than it will affect the following time periods.The relationship between the growth of these two two variables is almost perfectly linear. Which might be useful for governments to predict the economy growth if they can know the increase of loans that will be given in the economy. A very interesting side-finding was the dependency of countries to each other and global impact a financial crisis will have on all economies.


Recombinant Bovine CXCL9 (PBP023) detected using Rabbit anti Bovine CXCL9 (AHP2369) as a capture reagent and Rabbit anti Bovine CXCL9:Biotin (AHP2369B) as a detection reagent followed by Streptavidin:HRP.
Rabbit anti Bovine CXCL9 polyclonal antibody recognizes bovine CXCL9, otherwise known as MIG (monokine induced by Interferon-gamma). CXCL9 is a member of the C-X-C family of chemokine receptors, secreted by interferonγ stimulated monocytes, macrophages (Muller et al. 2010) and endothelial cells (Loos et al. 2006).
CXCL9 acts as a Th1 (type 1 helper T) cell chemoattractant, and plays a role in the growth, activation and movement of cells associated with, and in, tumour growth inhibition and angiogenesis (Whiting et al. 2004).
Antisera to bovine CXCL9 were raised by repeated immunisation of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared from whole serum by affinity chromatography.
This product may be used as a detection reagent in a sandwich ELISA together with AHP2369 as the capture reagent. Recombinant bovine CXCL9 (PBP023) may be used as a standard.

NFL teams ran the ball less than ever in 2016, yet six playoff teams had a 1,000-yard rusher.
Ezekiel Elliot (Cowboys), Jay Ajayi (Dolphins), Le'Veon Bell (Steelers), LeGarrette Blount (Patriots), Devonta Freeman (Falcons) and Lamar Miller (Texans) each topped 1,000 and will run again in January. Last year, Adrian Peterson was the only 1,000-yard rusher in the playoffs.
''I think really getting the running game going was crucial to us starting the ball rolling in the right direction,'' injured Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill said after the team bounced back from a 1-4 start to win six in a row.
Ajayi had three 200-yard games, including 204 in a win over Pittsburgh that started Miami's turnaround.
The formula for winning has changed drastically since the days teams relied on a smashmouth, ball-control running offense. It began with the evolution of the West Coast offense as the short-passing game replaced many runs plays.
It continued when more teams started incorporating spread offenses, using three and four wide receivers and putting quarterbacks in the shotgun formation for many snaps. Fullbacks lost their jobs and running backs became more specialized.
This season, teams averaged 26 rushing attempts per game. That's the fewest total in league history, according to Pro Football Reference. The average was 36.9 in 1976, 30.2 in 1986, 28.3 in 1996 and 28.2 in 2006.
But several successful teams had effective ground games led by a workhorse back.
The Patriots (14-2) ran the ball 99 more times this season than last. Blount's success helped 39-year-old Tom Brady post one of his best years. Blount ran for 1,161 yards and a league-best 18 TDs while Brady tossed 28 TDs and a career-low two interceptions after returning from his four-game suspension.
In Dallas, Elliott's emergence took pressure off fellow rookie Dak Prescott. Elliott led the NFL with 1,631 yards rushing and the dynamic duo helped the Cowboys (13-3) finish with the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
''He has gotten better and better every week,'' Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said of Elliott.
The Steelers, Falcons and Patriots had three of the best balanced offenses in the league. Each team had a 1,000-yard rusher and ranked in the top 5 in passing.
Bell ran for 1,268 yards and Ben Roethlisberger threw for 3,819 yards. Bell also caught 75 passes for 616 yards.
Freeman had 1,079 yards rushing and Matt Ryan threw for 4,944 to lead Atlanta (11-5) to the No. 2 seed in the NFC.
Of the six playoff teams with a 1,000-yard rusher, only the Texans ran the ball fewer times than last year but they gained more yards thanks to Miller. He had 1,073 yards.
Oakland (12-4) is another playoff team with a strong rushing offense that used three backs. Latavius Murray (788), Jalen Richard (491) and DeAndre Washington (467) helped the Raiders rank sixth in yards rushing.
AP Sports Writers Kyle Hightower, Will Graves and Kristie Rieken contributed to this report.


GOALKEEPER coach Steve Marsella has joined the club on a part-time basis.
Steve Marsella, who was born and bred in Fartown near Huddersfield,arrives at Blundell Park having been the goalkeeper coach and scout at Scottish side Hibernian.
Town boss Paul Hurst sees Steve as a valuable asset on the training ground and for his knowledge of players that he has gained whilst scouting the length and breadth of the country.
He said: "We are really pleased to get Steve on board. He has a lot of experience as a goalkeeping coach and as a scout. He has a very good knowledge of a lot of players," he added.

Bringing science to life – SAASTA steering young minds
30th March 2016 30th March 2016 by Alec Hogg
*This content is sponsored by the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA)
Bringing science to life
Economic prosperity, a healthier population and better protection of our fragile planet form part of the shared vision most South Africans subscribe to. But to attain these ideals science has to play a fundamental role through its application to new products and services. Even more importantly, there is a need for a public that is aware of and involved in science because it affects communities, the country and the world at large.
Dr Jabu Nukeri, Managing Director, SAASTA
It is with this in mind that the South African Agency for Science and Technology Advancement (SAASTA), in partnership with business and other stakeholders in society, endeavours to build a scientifically literate society. As a business unit of the National Research Foundation (NRF), the organisation's mandate is to interact with the public on issues of science, engineering and technology (SET). It communicates the advances in science and technology to the public while steering young minds towards careers in SET and innovation.
Partners in the knowledge economy
By partnering with other organisations that appreciate the value in the work that we do, SAASTA is able to develop and sustain important science engagement programmes. Much of our work would not be possible without these partnerships.
Over the years, SAASTA has secured funding from the business sector for programmes including SET career profiling campaigns and Science Olympiads for learners. Companies that have invested in youth and the future of the knowledge economy of the country include Harmony Gold Mining Company (the main sponsor of the Olympiad), Komatsu Development Trust, Edcon, the former Mittal Steel and Sasol. The investments have gone to programmes targeted at learners and educators.
Further, SAASTA has forged links with like-minded organisations outside South Africa. For example, it has formed a partnership with the Beijing Association for Science and Technology that, among other things, allows South African learners to compete in the Beijing Youth Science Creation Competition and local organisations to exhibit at the Beijing Science Week. The National Schools Debates winners have visited the American Museum of Natural History in New York, while staff members from SA science centres have been to the US to learn more about science communication projects.
Companies and organisations looking to contribute to the development of SA's knowledge economy through creating dialogue between scientists and society are encouraged to approach and collaborate with SAASTA on innovative science communication, science awareness and science education programmes.
Science advancement – A growing force in SA
The local science engagement sector has grown into a force to be reckoned with SAASTA running many recurring projects that reach cities, rural areas and certain Southern African Development Community countries. The National Science Week, which SAASTA manages on behalf of the DST, is one example of such projects.
SAASTA contributes to the NRF's strategic goals to promote an internationally competitive research and representative science and technology workforce through its learner, educator and undergraduate science advancement activities. These are designed to increase the number of skilled professionals and create a greater and more competent pool of human resources that may opt for science-related careers and possibly pursue research at postgraduate level.
"Through several learner and educator programmes in Mathematics, Science and Technology, SAASTA identifies and nurtures talent in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Innovation and thus contributes to human capital development in the critical areas," says SAASTA MD Jabu Nukeri. "Impact studies that we have conducted show that some of the learners who participated in our programmes opted for careers in STEMI as engineers, ICT specialists, actuaries and so on.
SAASTA – in collaboration with science centres, scientists who participated in its activities and other stakeholders – continues to take giant strides. The organisation's new designation as a National Coordinator of the DST's Science Engagement Strategy will grow its influence and impact on society in leaps and bounds.

Former Pennsylvania Congressman Charlie Dent joins Republicans in endorsing Shapiro, opposing Mastriano
"I just don't think he really respects our electoral system."
By Hayden Mitman/WLVR
Longtime midstate Congressman Charlie Dent has joined a group of Republican leaders across the state to endorse Democrat Josh Shapiro over GOP candidate Doug Mastriano for governor.
Dent joined eight other Republican lawmakers in supporting Shapiro.
The former representative, who served the Lehigh Valley in Congress and the state Legislature for nearly three decades, said he's concerned that if Mastriano becomes governor, he may not support free and fair elections.
"I just don't think he really respects our electoral system and he's even suggested he might appoint some people to be Secretary of State who, in my view, might not be fair in administering elections in this state," said Dent.
Sam Dunklau / WITF
State Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Franklin), the 2022 Republican candidate for governor, glances into a crowd gathered for a rally celebrating William Penn in the state Capitol rotunda in Harrisburg on July 1, 2022.
Dent noted that last year Mastriano was booted from a closed-door Republican caucus meetings and removed as head of a committee on election integrity. That access was restored after Mastriano became a candidate for the state's top office.
"The governor's got to be a person who is there to administer the law fairly and I don't have that confidence in him," Dent said. "And I do in Josh Shapiro, who always struck me as an honorable and decent fellow."
Dent also took issue with Mastriano's hard-line stance on ending abortion access with no exceptions for rape or incest.
"I do think we should respect a woman's right to choose and he's taken the most extreme position out there with virtually no exceptions, and I think that would be very problematic on many levels," said Dent.
Other Republican leaders endorsing Josh Shapiro for governor include former Bucks County Congressman Jim Greenwood, former state Supreme Court Justice Sandra Schultz Newman, former Speaker of the House Denny O'Brien and, former Lt. Gov. Bob Jubelirer.
They are joined by former state Reps. Dave Steil and Lita Cohen, along with Morgan Boyd, chairman of the Lawrence County Board of Commissioners, and Ken Davis, former chairman of the Montgomery County GOP.

We've created a Facebook group for prospective MSI students. You can join it by visiting . We're adding a lot of great information to this group, including external scholarship information, how to find part-time jobs, SI newsletters, pictures of SI, and more! We also have current students in the group, so feel free to ask them any questions you may have. We're often adding new content, so once you join, be sure to periodically check in with the group!

International applicants seeking an F-1 or J-1 visa are required to demonstrate that they have adequate financial resources to cover the cost of their educational expenses while in the U.S. Please submit the Affidavit of Financial Support, which can be found at: along with the required funding documentation. Please also include a copy of your passport. After you have indicated your acceptance of the admission offer using Wolverine Access and we have received all of the required financial information, we will begin the preparation of your I-20 or DS-2019. You can view the processing of your immigration paperwork by going to New and Prospective Student Business on Wolverine Access and clicking on "view the I-20 or DS-2019 status" link. Please read the information on these pages carefully as they will contain important SEVIS information. Once SEVIS has approved your immigration document, the SEVIS ID number will appear so you can begin the Visa application process.
Using an online forum and live chats, we will provide course advising in mid-July, and course registration will open for new students in early August. MSI Orientation will be held during the week before the start of classes. This mandatory event will include information on career services, financial aid resources, and will feature social activities with new and current students. Additional details will be provided to you. Classes for fall 2012 begin Tuesday, September 4.
Some entering international students are now required to be screened for tuberculosis. Screening will be offered free on campus. See http://www.uhs.umich.edu/tbscreen or send an email to for more information. Students who need to be screened will be notified via email. We want to reassure you that a TB infection will not jeopardize your visa status. Health care is completely confidential.
We hope you plan to join the SI community for your graduate education. I am confident that you will enjoy your learning experience at the School of Information, the city of Ann Arbor, and the opportunities that our program will present.
