There will be no exhortations like "be fruitful and multiply." In the book of embryologist Olga Malyuta, you will find only a lot of beautiful biology of the process of birth of a new life. How does artificial insemination occur, and where do pharmacies get hormones from? How did the Vatican make money from infertility treatments? And why can't the dragon and the donkey from "Shrek" have children? But the most important thing is what is going on behind the laboratory doors where artificial insemination takes place, and what should people who decide to overcome this path prepare for?
Olga not only describes the scientific basis of the entire process but also shares her story - from the first thrilling "Let's create embryos" to their freezing in the laboratory. In addition, the author tells how to count spermatozoa, the features of child conception that took place outside the mother's body, the outsourcing of embryologists, and, of course, will explain whether the color of socks affects the process of transferring embryos to a woman.
Olga Malyuta is an embryologist.
Olga carries out artificial insemination and takes care of the embryos during the first five days of their existence. She jokes that all the children she helped bring into this world are fans of rock music and poetry from the first days, just like the embryologist, who likes to listen to something good in the laboratory while working.
