Good Mornin, Metformin

BrokenBrownBelle: “The other side of my infertility” Part 2

I thought the entire time, I would get pregnant and that this would all be over. No one warned me that this is not a fight for the weak and that it lasts a lifetime. I was never this tough.

FertileKwanzaa – Nia & Kuumba: Creativity in Purpose

Finding a creative way to "do thoughtful things for others", was/is hard. When you're feeling least like yourself and uncomfortable in your skin, it is actually the least of your concerns. I understand. Though, if we're being honest I gotta tell you, it helps.

BBE Rewind: A Fertile Kwanzaa?

As I thought about the Kwanzaa holiday itself, I started to realize that every principle in Kwanzaa's Nguzo Saba can be applied effortlessly to my thoughts and plans about infertility. Every day this week, The Egg is going to show you how.

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.

What’s important is seeing the life and the love and the blessing,..even in the middle of the fear.

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?
