The next time you are baring your soul with your RE or precariously perched at the edge of a table at your gynecologist and s/he pulls out his/her blackberry, don’t be offended. She may be helping you.
Last month, according to Medical News Today, USBMIS, a leading provider of mobile medical software, announced the release of […]
I didn’t get to see Thomas Beatie on Oprah last week (even though reader Melis gave me a heads up as soon as she saw my post.) But the “world’s first pregnant man”’s appearance on daytime TV has come up in conversations with multiple friends this week. Luckily, I knew the plot, but I thought […]
You may recall one of my new year’s resolutions was to get myself greener. Not greener with envy when I see baby bumps or get birth announcements from more and more friends. For the most part, I handle those pretty well. What I felt I needed to handle better was the volume of our trash, […]
The other days I found a website which chronicled one woman’s home birth of her fifth child. She was surrounded by her midwife, husband and little kiddies and between you and me, my initial eye rolling and skepticism turned to tears by the end of this touching photo sequence. So I stumbled it as a […]
Art Critic Laura Cummings just wrote a gorgeous essay on the portrayal of fertility and infertility in art in Sunday’s Observer. She says this about a postcard depicting the Madonna del Parto by Piero della Francesca:

Now, it’s one thing to not […]
This is the best email you could ever send someone who has recently experienced a miscarriage, pregnancy loss, or simply a rotten test result. This made me laugh, smile, cry, and most importantly, know that this friend meant every single word. It is simple, nonjudgmental, and unconditionally loving - exactly what one grieving needs.
I hope […]
Well, today certainly did end the wait as promised.
I just wish I had better news to share.
We learned this morning that our FET ended in a BFN (big negative. You fill in the middle)
So, our journey towards parenthood continues. Not quite sure which direction we will head next. Or when.
But fear not, Fertility Notes forges […]
Melissa sums it up so nicely in a recent post for BlogHer:
