Close your eyes and count backwards from 5 to 1…. Visualize yourself ovulating and feeling more and more relaxed. FIVE- your mind, body, ovaries and uterus are feeling completely relaxed. FOUR- you imagine your cervical mucus like a stream of running water, a beautiful flow of ovulation and pouring through your vaginal canal. THREE- you can visualize his one-headed sperm, feeling healthy and vibrant, racing up your uterus. TWO- you can feel his sperm race inside your healthy fertile egg. Continue reading »

And you were the first one to start trying!
Yes, it’s both ironic and horrible. You wanted to be the first one of your friends to have a baby. Now, many months/years/decades later they have all gotten pregnant and some of them are even on baby #2. First Mindy got pregnant, then it was Molly, then Mary, and then very quickly, everyone in your circle of friends sported a baby bump. Continue reading »

Dear Coffee,
I love you. I’m so sorry we keep breaking up and then getting back together again month after month. The internet and fertility books advise me to limit your presence in my life but I still pine for you so much. One month, I will give you the silent treatment, refusing to even say hello to you in the morning. Another month, I will attempt to limit you and even (gasp!) cheat on you with your not so good-looking decaffeinated half cousin. Continue reading »

When you start your fertility journey, your first test becomes the Hysterosalpingogram, or HSG procedure. During this test, the doctor fills the uterine cavity with dye to determine if the fallopian tubes are open or blocked (in other words, the evil doctor shoves a speculum into your lady part, pokes at your cervix and then pours dye down your tubes while you cringe and spasm with cramps. And it’s not some type of cool rainbow colored tie dye or a nice alcoholic liquid either. It’s a radioactive, vagina unfriendly drink).

…Because we are probably not. Here is some good advice from actress and infertility alumni Nia Vardalos:
“Don’t ask a woman if she is pregnant, unless her water breaks on your flip-flops, a baby arm dangles out of her vagina and she asks you to cut the cord. Then, and only then, may you ask if she is having a baby. Otherwise, shut up.”

The below song “Pregnant Women are Smug” caused a lot of controversy. But they got it all wrong. We, infertile gals, are the smug ones! We brag because we get the royal treatment when trying to conceive; we have someone else examining our uterus’ everyday; Continue reading »
