Fertility Ring

My sister in law presented me with this fertility ring that she wore when she wanted to get pregnant. She’s since then passed it on to three other girls who have all gone on to become pregnant. The ring is a turquoise colored Egyptian scarab beetle. I looked it up on the internet to find [...]

Last night, my husband told me to stop being so angry. He said, “can’t you be happy again? I hate that you are so angry at the world.” It started because he wants to go camping with a few of our friends. Both couples have children and I don’t want to go. I can’t think [...]

IUI#1: 7dpiui

I’ve made it to one week. So far, pretty uneventful. Intermittent cramping and also a weird dull pain in my groin last night that wouldn’t go away. I don’t focus on the small details and phantom symptoms anymore because I know they don’t mean anything. And when I do read about other people’s 2ww symptoms, [...]
