I do believe that this is a new record. Just last night I was bitching to myself about having to go out & buy another damn box of tampons. (I will spare you details – but let’s just say that there is an entirely NEW side effect once one stops taking progesterone. It’s like period-pa-looza!) [...]
I tested this morning. So instead of saying it was negative I will say that it did not yet indicate a positive. I’m a bit early on the testing at just ten days past ovulation. But I did one of those dumb early morning negotiations: If my temperature was above 98.4 then I would test. [...]

Thank you all for your words of support and hope. I was able to tune out reality and live in denial until about eight last night. Then I was hit with a brick of overwhelming sadness. I went outside, walked down to the lake by my house, and sobbed. I tried to speak to God, [...]
Well, first things first: I am not knocked up. I’m in a bit of denial about that at the moment so I will breeze on to the next order of business. Mom got a “possible” job offer…in Florida. I say possible because she hasn’t met with the company just yet. But since the world of [...]
First of all – I can not stop chuckling over how many of you guys e-mailed me the shocking news about Big Daddy. We can officially relax as I am truly out this cycle. Can’t say I am surprised, but there is that initial moment of, “Fucking, shit, damn, not another failed fucking month!!” As [...]
