Summer Reading - Some Fertile Words

I confess. I have a stack of summer reading to do and I have been avoiding all of the titles that are fertility-related. Because I just haven’t been ready to focus on my own fertility until we got some things out of the way first.

Really? That’s All It Costs?

It is really quite interesting how shelling out for infertility treatments absolutely skews your perception of money. At least it does for me.
Now that I am used to seeing credit card statements (Yes, plural) In the 5-digit range, I am pretty unfazed about the costs of other things. That doesn’t mean I’ve stopped clipping my […]

Freebie Friday - New Online Ovulation Calendar from MedHelp

These days, all my vital dates are online: My work schedule, my personal schedule, upcoming haircuts, visits from parents. You name it and I have a chart, calendar or list on my little laptop tracking progress or reminding me of things that I need to do.

Navigating the Cold of Cryopreservation and What to Do with “Extra” Embryos

I don’t know if you remember, but a few months ago I wrote about donating embryos and what a tricky, tricky topic this can be: for those in search of embryos looking to “adopt” as well as those who may have embryos available after their fertility treatments.
