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!

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.

Who doesn’t peruse the People Magazine while waiting in line at the grocery checkout? Who doesn’t pick up an Us Magazine or its ilk when waiting to be called at the dentist? Even if you don’t subscribe, you still sneak some peeks at what so and so is doing or who you know who is […]

Most of the time education in middle school, if you are lucky enough to have sex education, focuses on NOT getting pregnant. Rarely does it broach the subject of infertility. Unless, of course, a certain woman’s infertility or secondary infertility quite possibly changes the course of history.
An article in yesterday’s Guardian thinks that should change.

I am taking this gorgeous long weekend to replant some herbs and plants and enjoy fertility of a different kind. But before I head into the sun, I want to share some news around the b5media Health & Wellness channel that might interest you:

Pee! Pee! Pee! (Sorry about that Beavis moment) But for some reason, us ladies trying to make babies without no drama love peeing on sticks. We can’t help it. We give the act itself(sometimes) affectionate nicknames. Some of us (I won’t mention names) even have collections of those sticks that deemed us preggers, or not […]
