I newly discovered Podcasts… I mean I have always known about them but never really listened to any. I am more of a visual person, so I guess that maybe why I didn’t indulge, but oh my gosh! What was I missing? Podcasts are a great way to pass time, are easy to listen to…

Infertility: Second Guessing Our Decision
To HSG or not to HSG that is the question… Maybe too much time has passed since that horrible experience for me to be thinking rationally (read about that here: Infertility: HSG Test), but I am seriously considering going through with an HSG test again. Bottom line, I think I just want answers, a definitive…

Infertility: Male Testing and How I Support my Wife
We both made appointments to see our PCP individually… For me, the most important thing was that everything… down there was working 100%. If not, I would need to be positive about it as I have always stressed to myself and Angie that a positive attitude is one of the best ways to get through…
Infertility: HSG Test
The time had come to schedule the HSG test. I was instructed to call the infertility department at Kaiser on the first day of my next cycle. If it hadn’t come by May 1st, I was to call and get medication to induce it. Luckily it came on it’s own because I can’t imagine what…
Infertility: First Appointment with the Infertility Specialist
The call came quickly and before we knew it we were scheduling our first appointment with the Infertility Specialist. Jon and I requested the afternoon off to go to the appointment as the Doctor is in Downey, a bit of a distance from us, especially during the afternoon rush hour traffic. We made the most…
Infertility: Ultrasound and the Next Step
We both made appointments to see our PCP individually… For me, it was the general questions, how long have you been trying? what are your periods like? are they regular? so you have unusual facial hair growth on your chin? She was fishing for signs of PCOS, which I hadn’t ruled out myself. I exhibited…
Infertility: How to Support your Infertile Friends and Family
Infertility is a touchy subject, as it is something so incredibly difficult and personal. If you aren’t part of the “club”, a club that no one really wishes to be a part of, it’s hard to understand the emotional toll it takes on a couple. It definitely can be difficult to understand how to be…
Infertility: Infertile Myrtle
I have started writing and then deleted this so many times, it’s really like where do I start? How do I ease into a subject like this? Then I realized there is no way to ease into this, it is, what it is. Be prepared for some real talk, raw emotions, and at times what…
