Been a While…Still Lost.

First, an apology. It has been a while since we have posted a new blog article. Some of you might have been wondering where all the creative, snarky infertility writing has gone. Some might have thought that we have left the land of IF and closed up shop. Well, we are [...]

Since the holiday season is upon us, we would like to take a brief moment to acknowledge a known sore spot with those of us who are infertile. On an almost daily basis we are sifting through a larger amount of physical (snail) mail which has been growing post-thanksgiving. Tucked into these piles

They Just Don’t Get It, They’ll Never Get It

Becoming Estranged
