This is my first month participating in ICLW (International Comment Leaving Week, or IComLeavWe if you’re nasty.), and so far it has been an eye-opening experience.
First of all, I literally had no idea that so many infertility blogs existed. It makes me sad and angry and warm and fuzzy all at the same time.
And second, I am learning so much about the different paths available to women with fertility issues. By the time my appointment with the RE rolls around in June, I should be the most educated patient they’ve ever had.
Doctors love that. Right?
So, if you’re visiting me for the first time–Welcome! And thank you for stopping by! I hope you find something you like that brings you back again soon.
If this isn’t your first visit, then you know the drill: TMI, snark, over-punctuation, and too many ellipses…
Happy Commenting! 🙂
You had me at “if you’re nasty” … and then totally became my BFF at “over punctuation, and too many ellipses”.
I am new to infertility blogs too. I got pregnant in college (I was one of THOSE people who got pregnant without even trying which given that I have PCOS is kind of a miracle in and of itself…maybe I should try the tactics I used then…but I have no idea how to make a single serving of jungle juice). She’s 11 now…(which means I’m 33, I think) and desperate for a sibling. I look forward to reading your blog!!!

yay for taking the plunge into ICLW, I have met some of the most amazing, supporting women through this week and thanks to them I’ve no doubt pissed my doctor off royally on more than one occasion 😉
So much of this IF game is waiting, I hope the wait for June goes nice and quick for you and the RE has some answers for the multitude of questions you’re going to have after this week 😀
I look forward to seeing how you get on.

As soon as I saw “snarkiness” in your ICLW description, I knew I would be following your blog! My assistant manager give me a hard time about saying snarky. He claims I made the word up! I wish!
Welcome to ICLW!

Oh snark, how I love the word. The first time I heard the word “snarky”, was out of the mouth of Mrs. Foreman on “That 70s Show”!
Now SHE was a snarky little lady herself. Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you stick around! 🙂

It’s my first ICLW too and I am also waiting for my first RE appointment in June. Coincidences abound! I also enjoy/employ snarkiness, so I’m going to keep reading!
