Alice in Hysterosalpingogram Land

Have I ever mentioned that New York has a lot of people? When I had my first mammogram, I was called into a mass dressing-room with four other women who proceeded to tell me about flattened breasts and pinching. There are so many people that the doctors appear to do mass screenings and [...]

Good-bye Clomid!

If anyone is wondering what it is like to be on Clomid, I have some musings for you. At least this is how it was for me.
I did not get bitchy, as Dr. Mug suggested.
I did not have any headaches, as per Co’s experience.
Basically, I feel like someone put a pump into my bellybutton [...]

memememeee!

Vee and Jay posted this very random meme which caught my fancy. So I did it. I’m not tagging anyone. Do it if you want. I think it is kind of sad that it was so hard for me to think of five favorite toys.
What were you doing ten years ago?

Clomid Twins Power — Activate!

Form of:
Me.
Just me.  It didn’t do anything weird or make me any meaner of a teacher than I have been already this week.
I say “Clomid twins” not because I’m trying to make twins.  (Nooooo!)  But because my neighbor, codename: Gwen, had to start taking Clomid yesterday, too.    So every time I see her, we connect [...]

It is midnight

It is midnight and I am not asleep.   I have to teach tomorrow and I am not asleep.  It seems I am afraid of the Clomid.  I’m supposed to take it before I go to bed.  So I guess I’ve decided not to go to bed.  That means I won’t have to take the Clomid, [...]

If I Were a Bird…

I would be the bird that pooed on the president.

Biology 101

I’m all wrapped up in a spiral-helix.  Biology has been on my mind of late.  Namely, how important is it in a family, and why might it be important – or not so much so?  Since I try to be vaguely anonymous on this blog, even though pretty much only my friends read it, you [...]

Today I:

A. Got clomid for 5 bucks! Yay, GHI.
b. Was asked if I was pregnant by one of my student’s parents. Am I glowing already, or is it the mombelly I aquired without ever having given birth?
c. Felt suddenly happy to have my period. I know I’m not pregnant. I’m not waiting [...]

Mamarama

A good friend hosted a “Baby Brunch” this weekend. She invited all of her gay mom friends to her house and fed us challah french toast. It was refreshing to see these particular moms. We were just five-ish families: mine, the host and her best friend, A&B with their two kids, C&D [...]

The Rainbow Connection

Ok, some other folks are taking this test.  Considering how much time I’ve spent with Ernie and Bert in the past year, I thought I’d give it a shot.  I was sure I’d turn out to be Ernie.  But I was pleasantly surprised to come up with this guy:
Your Score: Kermit the Frog
You scored 43% [...]
