Biology is complex, and chance still plays a major role.

How do non-identical twins form?

Fraternal twins develop when two separate eggs are released and fertilized by two different s***m cells during the same cycle.

Although they share the womb, they are genetically unique—just like any other siblings.

Two eggs. Two s***m. Two unique babies.

Did you know non-identical twins come from two separate eggs?

Did you know identical twins begin as a single fertilized egg?

After fertilization, the early embryo divides and, in rare cases, splits into two separate embryos. Because they come from the same egg and s***m, identical twins share nearly the same DNA.

One fertilized egg. Two unique lives.

Were you aware that identical twins start from one embryo?

👶 Yes
👶 No

Prostate cancer usually develops gradually over time.

It often begins when changes occur in the DNA of prostate cells, causing them to grow and multiply uncontrollably. Over the years, these abnormal cells can form a tumor and, if left untreated, may spread to other parts of the body.

Understanding how cancer develops can help highlight the importance of regular screening and early detection.

Did you know prostate cancer can grow silently for years before causing symptoms?

Understanding how breast cancer develops can help raise awareness about the importance of screening and early detection.

🎗️ Early detection saves lives.

Most people know birth control prevents pregnancy, but many don’t realize different contraceptive medications work in different ways.

From combination pills and progesterone-only pills to injections, implants, and emergency contraception, each option has unique benefits, uses, and considerations.

In this infographic, we break down some of the most commonly used birth control drugs and what they’re typically prescribed for.

Key takeaway:
• Not all birth control methods are the same
• Some help regulate menstrual cycles
• Some may improve acne or PMS symptoms
• Emergency contraception is different from routine contraception
• Birth control does not protect against s*xually transmitted infections (STIs)

Understanding your options helps you make informed decisions about your reproductive health.
