Sticks and Stones - Part V

The conversation that started from this post made me think now would be a good time for another video in the Sticks and Stones Series. You remember, the little experiment that Angelique from Breaking the Mirror (who, by the way, is the lovely actor in this clip) and I put together to see how you […]

Sticks and Stones - Part III

This comment came to us when Michael and I were having a drink with a very good friend of ours. It was in a loud, celebratory setting - not the kind of place that’s usually conducive or appropriate for soul-baring or hand wringing, but it struck us both hard enough that we felt compelled to […]

Coming up next, another snarky comment delivered to you by Angelique from Breaking the Mirror (Don’t worry. I asked her to). Sit back. Turn up your volume and let yourself react.

Introducing….The Sticks and Stones Series

Sure, sticks and stones may break our bones but names (and thoughtless comments, and “helpful” advice you never asked for) gosh, those things can sting!
I was talking with beautiful and talented Angelique who writes Breaking the Mirror, B5’s blog on eating disorders and we started talking about things people have said (knowingly or unknowingly) that […]

I think it’s safe to say that if you decide to embark on any ART (assisted reproductive technique) path, odds are you or your partner or BFF will need to get comfortable dealing with needles.
My morning routine currently consists of giving myself a little shot of Lupron in my thigh. It’s not a big needle; […]

Is Technology Triflin’ with Your Shtuff?

I laughed out loud when I saw a recent post from Liz over at HealthBolt cautioning men to “ditch the cell phone and save the sperm” because it reminded me of a post that I did a while ago warning dudes to use care as to where they perched their computers.

Hey TTC’ers, Looking for More Ways to Mess with Your Heads?

Of course you’re not. Between the betas, the HPTs (home pregnancy tests), and all that great advice that talk shows want to give you, you have your fill.
But still, I found this and I gotta share.
Now you can take an on-line pregnancy test to indicate the likelihood of pregnancy.
I’m hoping that my results are completely […]
