I started talking about my fertility and subsequent INfertility journey right here on this blog about ten years ago – before I even knew I was actually talking about it. It began with what I thought was going to be a routine checkup by a new doctor back in April 2007 (4 months before I …

There are a few times throughout the year where my yearning for a baby, my desire to experience pregnancy, and my desperation to be a mother hit extremely hard. Mother’s Day and my birthday are close in proximity and are both HUGE triggers of my baby fever, usually leaving me feeling blue for the month …
From the time a girl is supposed to start seeing a gynecologist, I have been. Year after year, I diligently went to either a gynecologist, my general practitioner, or a nurse practitioner for my checkup and always left with a clean bill of health. My pap smears always came back “normal”. In 2007, at the …
My story shouldn’t offend you if you’ve got differing opinions, nor should you take it personally or as a personal attack on the opposite side of the realm. What it is meant to do, besides help clear up some clutter in my own mind, is offer a little calm to those, who like me, are …
I hate to admit this, but I had high expectations for getting pregnant once we moved away from the stress of Los Angeles and up into the serene mountains nearly a year ago now. And you know where expectations lead us : to unsatisfied minds and unhappy souls. As each month passed without conception, just …
Sometimes… everything I am and everything I do is just a distraction to keep my mind from the darkness. It’s not that it doesn’t work, because it does. I stay busy. I focus on how to grow my business, how to create art, how to feed my passionate soul, how to be happy, and in …
When I was in my early twenties, I had an older girlfriend who suffered from Endometriosis. She often had horrendously painful periods and would go into hiding those times of the month. But since she also had a flair for the dramatic, we all were pretty dismissive of her disease and brushed it off. Ten …
I’m not sure that I quite understand sadness …or rather, what to do with so much of it. I know that for so long I dealt with it angrily. And as hard as I try to handle it maturely now, when sadness completely overwhelms me I will still sometimes resort to a tiny temper tantrum …
A couple months ago as I was going through my daily blogs, I read that a woman I know was pregnant with her first baby and not only that, her sister was pregnant too! I thought to myself, how fun! Getting to share those 9 months together, having same age kids, there were just so …
* Last March, I wrote this post called Baby Fever. Who knew a year later I would be feeling the exact same way? …still childless. * My mind is completely wrapped around this right now …which means that I cannot write a single word about anything else. * My thoughts are random and scattered. * …
Yesterday afternoon my husband and I had our first “together” visit to the gynecologist to make sure we’re doing everything right as we embark on the next phase of our lives: baby making. {and a routine yearly check-up for me} Needless to say, this was not the most comfortable situation for Pep {though he met …
above art:Mark Ryden “Cecella” My husband and I got married (well, eloped) September 4, 2006. He proposed at my 30th 80’s Roller Skate birthday party at the end of the Hokey Pokey – and it was awesomely radical! I thought soon after we’d buy a house and start makin’ babies. Real estate in LA slowly …
