If freedom comes from having choices, well, I hate to say it, but it's a burden.  James and I are really struggling with the last-minute choice of which clinic to use. Our choices are Dominion...

I see we have a new feature to catalog our journal entries.  Why is there no "pontification" or "musings"?  My journal entries are none of the above, as far as the current list is concerned. Here...

If my body had worked like a normal person's, I would never have to pay attention to it.  But now that my natural hormones and I are so intimate with each other, I've been able to sharpen my...

If I were a stronger person, I could watch the movie "Juno" about the teen pregnancy.  It looked like a good movie until I figured out what it was about.  It's a shame I have to segregate myself...

This is an entry about mothers and daughters, and grandmothers and granddaughters, and how they all seem to be the same thing to me. I have always loved the chaos of my maternal grandmother's house...

Thanks to everyone for sending so much love and support when I got my BFN.  I don't know what I would do without the support group.  Without you, I would be completely alone.  With you, I'm just...

Oh, my friends, it's a BFN.  That is, "Baby? 'Fraid Not."  My sweet husband took me out for a margarita, so that helped.  Temporarily.   I'm going to visit my grandmother tomorrow in Texas, and...

So my blood has been drawn, and is awaiting its test at the doc's right now.  My body didn't want to let it go; they couldn't get a vein in my arms so they had to go to the top of my right hand. ...

This morning in traffic I proved I can cry and change lanes at the same time.  The threshold between tolerable and intolerable is so low when one is on hormones, and the wait between the...

It's two days before the pregnancy test and I am starting to decline.  Since before our IUI, when the doc told me that my uterine lining was skimpy and he doubted the procedure would work, I have...

CarrieAnn, that great inspirational figure, has a list posted today that she wrote last year.  It is things she wished people knew about women and infertility.  I want to send it to everyone I've...

I have had some funny dreams recently, including the following bits: - Vomiting up a miscarried fetus.  This dream happened twice. - Taking care of 3 little kids at a camp, and feeling guilty for...

These treatments are really funny if you look at them in the right light.  Add $3.50 to our running total.  On Saturday I had been feeling lousy, completely prisoner to the progesterone, and my...

I want to talk about my experience with Daily Strength this year.  I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, and I probably won't, since we have all gone through so many of the same emotions.  But if...

Progesterone is irritating, and I mean that dermatologically and emotionally.  To be graphic (because I'm irritated), the progesterone suppositories are wreaking havoc with the tender skin of my...
