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 [...]

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. If I knew then, what I know now, I might have never started this fight.  My story is just what I described in previous posts, and to be honest I’d spent [...]

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?

How I Came By My Dog…and what I learned from her.

The great IF can be extremely lonely.  Even for those of us fortunate enough to have a supportive partner or spouse, it can often feel like one of the most isolating experiences one has ever had the misfortune of enduring.  For my husband and I, it sometimes became more divisive when we were actively “trying” than when we were casually planning.  He felt like I was obsessing, and I felt [...]

Decisions and Pathways

It’s been so long since I’ve had a plan, that I’m not even sure how to execute one anymore. LOL I believe I’ve come to an actual decision about where to go from here.  My mind was jumbled and it was leading me down that dark alleyway we call depression.  Anyone who has stepped foot into the IF arena knows that depression is counterproductive to say the least. In trying [...]

Dear Sherri Shepherd,

Dear Sherri, I don't know if you're aware of how important your humor and honesty is for Black women dealing with infertility, but please, let me enlighten you...

Why We Should All Care about Infertility.

The implications of infertility are important to ALL of us, not just those who are dealing with it personally. We EACH have a stake in spreading the word about this topic to help remove the stigmas and taboos that are tied to it.

Into the Woods?

I’m a theater geek. The Original Broadway Cast of Into the Woods Even as a small child, I enjoyed watching random things that aired on the (at that time true) Arts & Entertainment channel.  I watched things that most of my friends thought were “lame” or boring and didn’t care.  I was, and still am, a Rogers & Hammerstein nut.  I can sing showtunes at the drop of a dime, [...]

You Gotta Fight….For Your Right…To (pity) Paartaay!

Gonna let you in on a secret.You listening?Come closer, I’m gonna whisper it so other people don’t hear… I’m a bit of a perfectionist. SHHHH!!!  Don’t tell anyone. I know!  Unbelievable isn’t it? I like to plan things out.  Not just events and things of that sort, but I mean neurotic-like.  I plan conversations. I think about what I’m going to say, and how they’re gonna take it.  I put [...]

What are you Speaking onto yourself?

Last week, I got extremely sick at work.  Something came over me around noon and just basically floored me for the rest of the day.  I was nauseous and suddenly feverish.  My joints were achy and I couldn’t shake the nausea for anything.  Unfortunately, work does not stop for sickness and I still had to teach my last library class of the day.  When the kindergartners piled into the library, [...]
