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!

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.

Out Now Damned Spot!

I just don’t trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die. - Mr. Garrison - South Park Bigger Longer and Uncut For me personally, this entire situation sometimes really just pisses me off. I could write a frilly note on how it is frustrating, but more women go through it than myself and that I should just pray and keep moving because God always has a plan. But [...]
