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.
But now I am ready to crack them open again. Start […]

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 […]

Check out my new gear.
No, no, not the earrings. The earbuds. Those lovely little patches that contain magnets, perfectly placed to stimulate points in my ears that are related to fertility.
That’s my homework assignment. Given to me by my acupuncturist last week.

In celebration of the event, I want to remind my readers that in addition to their online resources and forums, the National Infertility Association RESOLVE actually offers two […]

Tomorrow is Mother’s Day.
Yes, thank you, Captain Obvious.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, this fact is painfully clear to you. Did you buy your mom a card? Does she really know how much you love her? Are you as good to your mother as she was to you? Hmmm? Hallmark, the diamond store and […]

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.
Believe it or not, the opportunity presented itself again. This time, I took it.
And it was so much easier than I thought it would be.

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 […]

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? […]
