Book Launch Day: Extra!
Lovelies, Do you see that image, too? The one with my child holding my book? The one with today’s date on it? Do you?!

Hard to believe that the time has finally come. The idea I had has come to fruition and is a REAL BOOK. I should believe…

How To Cope With IVF Failure
Lovelies, I’ve had a lot of guest posters on this blog, especially through Squawk Box, but I was approached recently to run this story about how to cope with a failed IVF round and I jumped at the chance. I haven’t had much on here about what to do when you wind up BFN after all the rigamarole of an IVF cycle and it’s really important that I put something up on here for the 50% of patients that…

Micro Post: Halfway
Click on image to learn more about #MicroblogMondays. Hey y’all, Thought I’d briefly update that since hitting the official halfway mark I am feeling way more secure that this pregnancy is real and stable. There is something in the way that at 20 weeks you would go to L&D instead of the ER if anything were to happen that makes you feel like any concerns will be taken seriously. That and L&D…

Don't Make Me "That Story"
Don’t Make Me “That Story”
Lovelies, Today is my birthday. A day that for the last 4+ years has caused an unbearable amount of pain due to my infertility. Watching my biological clock march forward, knowing that I was already short on time and egg reserves, it isn’t always my favorite day. Never mind that it also marks the start of the holiday season… My birthday, Christmas, New Year… which were always a trifecta of pain…
