    I think any het smut writer who thinks having things pound or lodged at/behind the cervix is hot and sexy should have a transvaginal ultrasound as part of a saline infusion sonograph. BECAUSE NOT SO MUCH. There were a couple of points I wanted to ask, "Exactly what are you trying to see up there now? My sinuses ( Read more... )

    Okay. So the extended release version of Metformin doesn't make the gastrointestinal side effects suck any less for me. I'm just going to crawl over into that corner over there and curl up and die.

    Hallmark has a new line of cards for "family matters," including... infertility.

    Second one.

    Cover: I wish I could make things happen for you the way you want them to. I know how much a child would mean to you.

    Vacation is over, and as nice as it was, I'm almost glad to be back to work. At least back to a regular routine - I outdid myself in slackery over the last two weeks. I rung in the new year by sleeping through my alarm on Tuesday and being a half hour late for work. Oops ( Read more... )

    In honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, I present the Top 10 Things People Have Said About Infertility That Make Me Want to Punch Them in the Head.
