Infertile/Broken Hearted? We’ll exploit YOU!
I read this article. It’s about the scare tactics and emotional poking at wounds that occurs in advertising fertility clinics. The author states that advertising is designed to be emotive, that is advertising’s purpose after all. To emote and therefore drive action. We all know this. But questions is it okay to use emotions in such an emotional area? The author…

Sometimes life happens
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about my relationship. How it came about and what it still has in store. I didn’t plan on getting married until I was at least thirty. So I don’t feel off track. I don’t feel like I’m behind others because we don’t have kids. For me, it was never…

A Real Day in the Life of a TTC’er.
Yesterday I woke up. 9.30am or something close. Not too shabby. 12 hours of sleep and I had shaken the virus type things from the day before swiftly, if not yet wholly. I lounged in my quiet house, luxuriating in the silence, the peacefulness of it. I rose slowly and took a shower that went…

So today I kinda lost my shit… Really.
I spoke to a lady. Who is breaking up with her partner. This lady, she is known to me, but not well. At most we’d be acquaintances. I don’t even remember her partner’s name until she says it. Then she goes into detail of him losing his mind {my guess is undiagnosed bi-polar given her description} and…

I know what you’re saying…
I drink too much. I’m too fat. I even started smoking again! And what’s with the partying lately..? I should try harder. I shouldn’t work as hard. I have to put it first. Put it out of my mind. I have to let it go. I have to slow down. Should look for a specialist. I should…

Sorry, does my infertility make you uncomfortable..!?
There is a moment, when you cross mentally, if not medically, from being a couple ttc to being an infertile couple. For whatever the reason {or for NO reason} stuff changes. Your hopes change {one, just give me ONE!}, your plans change, your options and the testing and processes that go along with them, change.…

Well, there, I said it…
Earlier I posted about it being two years. Two official years. And I promised to come back and talk more about it. After some processing and general what the fuck’ing. You know. As a kid, as a teenager, I wasn’t interested in having kids anytime soon. I called people with that aim in life breeders.…

Well there it is. Two years.
image I don’t know yet. How I feel. Nothing. But it’s not numbness. Thankfully I have the luxury of time to decide. To ponder and think. To really grieve this lost time. So I will be back later to talk it out with you lovely people. At least now I know why I couldn’t shake…

There’s a post here. One I’ve been hiding. Until now.
A post that says how all my tests have come back fine. Normal. No issue. All clear. Normal, normal, normal. Nothing to see here people. This girl is completely normal. It’s hard to grasp. As we head towards two years ttc. After that, they’ll call us Long Term Trying to Conceive. Long term. Or the start of…

One last chance
Beautiful isn’t it? {If this is YOUR image please email me, it was not credited on the site I got it from} Well hello end of February. Hello AF. Hello the beginning of March just a few short days away. Hello unfulfilled wishes and dreams. Hello disappointment. Hello reassessing. You see, this coming month will be…
