Let’s Talk About “Selective Reduction”

I think that we women support each other in so many ways by sharing our experiences, yet we have done a disservice by not talking honestly about fertility treatments.

I know that I’m not a worst-case scenario. I already have a child. The extent of my problem is that I’m over 40 and I don’t have a lot of time. My tubes are clear, my egg reserve looks good, I ovulate regularly, and my hormone levels are peachy. Plus, my husband’s sperm count is equivalent to 10 non-vegan men (my doctor described his semen as “dynamite”, leaving me to deal with my husband’s hugely inflated ego for days). And yet, we have been trying to get pregnant for almost a year and a half to no avail (five chemical pregnancies and one miscarriage).

Nipple Confusion Part 2

MSNBC just posted an article about pacifiers and nipple confusion.

You can read the article here:

No More Nipple Confusion

Seems I wasn't off base in my past post.

Nipple Confusion, I Don't Think So
