Dear Braxton Sisters…

The season finale of Braxton Family Values opened with a fertility discussion for Tamar and Vince. The result was a hopeful and honest look at the discussion of fertility issues in a close-knit family. An important discussion and visual representation worthy of note.

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 [...]

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.

Family Is Relative

Why do people say "Start a Family" as though a COMMITTED relationship isn't family enough? Your definition of family is not necessarily mine, but respect is universal.

Transparent

The transparency for which this blog has gained its momentum is not as easy a feat to uphold as some may think. It is dreadfully hard for me to decide what to share boldly, and what to let fester in the corners of my mind for fear that I'll run you guys all away.

Musical Therapy: You Are My Man

As usual, I'm looking at something that has nothing to do with infertility when something drives itself home. This time, it was Tyler Perry's newest play "Madea's Big Happy Family".

Responsible Conception

Why would an infertility site support a cause like No Wedding No Womb? Well, if you've been to The Egg before, and you've heard me rant, you already know the answer.

Quite a lot, actually.

I Love YOUR Hair

The fantastically viral Sesame Street video, “I Love My Hair” has a special place in the hearts of African American moms and women all over the world it seems. I watched it when it debuted last week and smiled gently, but decided it was not necessarily an “Egg-worthy” posting. How wrong I was. The song, which aired on October 4, was written by Sesame Street’s head writer, Joey Mazzarino. Mr. [...]

What I Hope I Never Lose

This week has been brought to me by the number 25(as in days until the gala), and the letter O for “overwhelmed”. Can we talk? *sigh* From writing for all these different sites to simply responding to emails, I’ve had a hard time staying on track because I have been beating myself up, something serious. If I mailed something a day later than I said I would, I was upset [...]
