Catching Up After a Chaotic Week
Oh, hai there. Um... bit of a crazy week. I'm all like "write for The Infertility Voice!" and then just kind of peaced out. I had no idea just how chaotic this week was going to become. I posted my call for contributors just hours before the Boston Marathon bombings and it's … Read More »

Looks Like I Got the ‘Beetus.
"I... don't know how to say this..." Here, I'll let 30 Rock break the news softly: You may remember I had a rather unfortunate glucose challenge test experience back in December. After failing to even complete the test, my OB decided to spare me further morning sickness … Read More »
