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 [...]

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".

Do Not Lose Weight to Get Pregnant

Warning: I'm going to use the word HATE, a lot in this post. I HATE being told what to do. I hate seeing weight in the top list of things that cause infertility. I hate that it is something I cannot seem to get a handle on.

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 [...]

It’s not enough to look good in your clothes.

So, I’ve always been a big girl. Not necessarily HUGE, but I damn sure wasn’t a cheerleader. Again, this is something that isn’t altogether unheard of in the black community. Our community glorifies big butts and smiles. We talk all the time about down home cooking and grandmama recipes and we proclaim skinny bitches to be evil so that we can feel good about ourselves in our Ashley Stewart/Lane Bryant [...]
