There she goes again, talking about the need for insurance coverage for fertility treatments. What a broken record.
Yes, you’re right. It is a topic I cover often here - this crazy notion that your reproductive health is just as important as other (covered) aspects of your health and well-being.
But, I do find great comfort […]
A few months ago, I wrote about having a perfect opportunity to talk about infertility with another young woman. Like a fool, I let it slip away.

Declared and founded by holistic lifestyle expert Anna Getty, May 2008 marks the inaugural year of Pregnancy Awareness Month (PAM). And if I weren’t green with envy, I am now when I take a peek at all of the sponsors who helped kick off their inaugural event last night. Where can I get some […]

I can’t recall if I’ve told you, but after my second BFN (big fat negative), we agreed to more tests to see what the heck is going on down there. My doctor’s first request was for a hysteroscopy and an endometrial biopsy.

This week I took over blogging duties at one of my favorite blogs in the b5 Health and Wellness channel, one dedicated to Connecting science, health and the environment. You may have […]
There is no dearth of options when it comes to home fertility tests. Tests for you, for your partner. Little kits to help you determine the time and date when your odds of making babies are the most fertile. How strong are his sperm? How viscous your pathway? How many eggs do you have left? […]
Last week as M and I were enjoying an evening at a friends’ house (something we don’t do often enough), I caught a glimpse of a set of 10 little statements, mantras almost, clipped from a new agey magazine and hanging in her kitchen. My first impulse was to tease, but then I started reading […]
