Does grief trump discomfort?

It’s a question that gets asked a lot when people talk about their dead babies–does a parent’s need to share their grief over a child that never was trump the uncomfortable collar tugging it incites from the general public?That’s the question asked in this article from Maclean’s magazine that I’m sure many of you have seen already. I can’t express how disappointed I am that a publication I once respected has come up with such drivel.  Read more >

Just relax and it'll happen

Yolk: a blog about eggs and spermI know everyone has heard the constant refrain of “just relax”; “forget about it”; and “just stop trying and it will happen,” from the ignorant and fertile of the world.

My so-called life

A couple of days ago, I mentioned that I am a huge geek. Well that geekdom extends into computer and video games–namely the Sims 3, where I am totally obsessed with controlling the little people on my screen.

About Me: 

I'm just your typical pissed off 30-something who couldn't seem to get (or at least stay) pregnant, despite the fact I was healthy, financially stable and emotionally ready.

I started blogging at the end of 2010 as a way to get out my anger and frustrations and what I discovered was an entire community of strong, brave and beautiful women going through the same thing. It saved me.

Then one day, just a week before our first visit at the fertility clinic, we got a surprise BFP and everything changed.

We welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world on December 11, 2011 and now, I'm just trying to navigate my way through the adventure that is motherhood.

This is my story.
