Boo hoo, I just started spotting. So I guess Mr. Scary Haunted Trail Man was wrong, and so was I (because deep down I really thought this was going to be it for so many reasons) ... but it looks like I will be starting my period soon. I guess I'm slightly

Must... stop... eating... candy. You'd think I'm ten years old all over again, gorging myself on Halloween candy and feeling like I'm going to throw up. And this is like my fourth night doing this. Never will I learn, apparently. Trick-or-treaters were

I took a pregnancy test this morning, and of course it was negative. I'm not surprised, nor am I upset. No biggie. It was actually kinda fun to pee on the stick and sit there on the toilet (lid down by this point, of course) and watch the test do...well...nothing.

Okay, this whole waiting thing, it SUCKS! I don't like it one bit. According to FF online, I ovulated 9 days ago. The longest 9 days of my life! Okay, just kidding, I'm pretty sure the week leading up to my wedding was more insane than this -since I was

I'm very about saving the earth. Not because I'm a Democrat, not because I'm a huge Al Gore or Leonardo DiCaprio fan (although hello, Leo is a hottie). I want to save our earth because I believe we are destroying it little by little, and I hate to think

Here are my thoughts on celebrity babies... What's with the obsession??? I get that famous people are interesting. There is something mysterious about "knowing" someone but not really knowing anything about them at all. But to be so involved in their

Well, the geniuses behind Fertility Friend dot com tell me I ovulated Saturday, based on my newly high temperature this morning. So three days down. I am an optimistic person by nature, so I'm pretty sure I'm pregnant...ha, just kidding. But I do have

I chart. I didn't want to chart. I wanted to be that girl who just goes off birth control, has lots of sex, wakes up one day and realizes she hasn't started her period yet, takes a pregnancy test, and wha-la is happily jumping up and down with her husband

There are lots of ways we come to the realization that we're getting old. Not that I didn't already know (today is just ten months to the day of turning 30), but here's when that dreaded light bulb clicked on... I park my car on the street in front of

A good friend of mine experienced a really horrible weekend. Her older sister lost her baby at 21 weeks pregnant. She had been spotting for the past week or so, but it wasn't a lot and her baby was still moving. She had an appointment with the doctor

...if I ever get pregnant. 1. I hate the terms "preggo" and "preggers." I'm a full supporter of shortening words for convenience, like I say "fridge" instead of "refrigerator" and "TV" instead of "television." I cannot however support the shortening of

I started my Clomid last night. It was a surreal experience. And I experienced it alone because my husband was too consumed with the Buffalo Bills football game. ("It's the first time the Bills have had a Monday night game in 15 years!!!!") I still take

"Well, hello AF!" So it's day 24 of my cycle yesterday, which is usually about halfway through my lovely long cycles at this point. I'm taking the Prometrium to kick start my period so I don't have another 58 day cycle. Last month when I did this, to

I had a pity party for myself last night. Drank half a bottle of wine, watched a movie by myself, then unnecessarily and devastatingly got online to the BOTB board. Read about some pregnancies, people in the 2ww, people waiting to ovulate, people waiting

I couldn't take it anymore. I called the doctor's office wondering when we'd get the results of the SA (semen analysis) from his sample given Friday. (by the way, if I haven't written about how terrible of an experience it was for him, note: do it at
