Qi (you know, chi, pronounced “chee”) could be just as important to your baby-making ability as the more physical parts of the equation. Kind of like prana, Qi can be translated to mean “life energy” and according to my new favorite book, Qi:
flows within us and around us, giving all things life, animation, warmth and […]

All of the commenters on this post agreed that yes, definitely, more information on fertility issues and infertility should be shared as part of one’s education. Perhaps in sex ed; perhaps in psychology. I even put in a vote for it as a topic to be covered in “Christian Marriage” or “Social Justice” for those […]

It happened.
Tonight around 7 p.m.
I went to a yoga class that absolutely kicked *ss (and kicked my *ass to boot). It was fabulous. It was wonderful. It was hard!!! Holy crap is your body supposed to do that? Frankly, I was amazed at what my own body was doing. I had no idea.
Unlike the morning […]

You remember the Sticks and Stones series, right? That’s when me and my pal Angelique from Breaking the Mirror put together some of the comments we hate to hear and asked you to comment on them, which many of you did. Thanks!
For those of you who were left speechless, or at least at a loss […]

Very, very curious about how you feel about this article in today’s Guardian in which Nicholas Blincoe wonders why people try to conceive spend so much time whining (his words, not mine):

Just a few days in, and I am ready for Celebrity Week to be over. I click on the latest celebrity stories as much as the next person; I thought this would be easy. But lists of who did what to get a you-know-what (or two) have already been done. And I hate being late […]

Wow. That’s not really a headline, is it?
Replace “famous woman” with “Naomi Campbell” and all of a sudden, the tongues are wagging, the rags are raggin’. This seems to be the biggest celebrity/fertility news today. According to numerous. online. sources. Naomi has undergone some surgery to “improve her odds of being a mum.” No additional […]

Confession: I’m having a harder time with “Celebrity Week” here at Fertility Notes than I thought I would.
Of course, I can rehash the who used IVF and who didn’t and point to some current folks that everyone has their eye one (and the week’s not over, I might). But that info seems tired. Old. Not […]
