Good Mornin, Metformin

So, it has been a while since I’ve taken the time to actually POST some tidbits here on the site. And it is all your fault. See, most of you follow The Egg on Facebook and we have such great conversations there, that by the time I get over here, I have nothing else to say because we’ve talked it to death over the course of a day! But, getting [...]

Take Comfort. Fear Not.

The idea of being told to take comfort, when clearly all the alarms are ringing, feels like insanity. But then I started to really focus on the words. TAKE comfort.

The Cake Is A Lie

You can do everything right, and still end up with less than you hoped for. But who's to say that isn't perfectly alright?

Second (or fifth) Verse, Same as the First

I’ve decided to drink wine this evening. Yellow Tail makes a charming Merlot. A Merlot that has helped a bit. I plan to be at ease by the time I reach the latter half of it. Today warranted that sort of planning. You see, basically, I got the same “news” today that I’ve gotten before: Say it with me now: “There is NOTHING gynecologically wrong.” Really?

Issues

I'm not sure how many other women are sufferers of menorrhagia. I'm not sure how many other women hold this frustrating condition to themselves. Just about the only thing I am sure of is how much I hate it.

Do I Want To Be Known For this?

And I was honored. To represent you, him or her, and whomever else. But there was also a part of me that just kept thinking, "Is this what I want to be known for? Do I really want to make my mark based on the fact that my body doesn't do what its supposed to do?" I mean, I'm so much more than my ovaries, aren't I?

The Perks of Parenthood?

I’ve been working in education and childcare, officially and unofficially, for the past twelve years. Aside from my personal love of books, it is what drove me to become a a youth services librarian. My interest and love for youth engagement and academic achievement is something that is behind most every decision and viewpoint that I have. Because of this, it is often even rougher to not be a parent. Rougher still [...]

Seems like You’re Ready….

So, when I originally became a member of the embattled, tough girls of infertility lifestyle, I thought the best way to make myself strong, was to completely act un-phased by things that were the cliche discomforts for infertile women. The textbook cases of teen -pregnancy haters, bitter stepmothers, and weepy weak women who couldn’t bare to lay eyes on children until they had their own. I was so busy avoiding [...]
