The Good News: I have permission to switch my pill to the OrthoCyclen. I’ll note that I did this without permission anyway, knowing that it would be fine, but it is nice to know that it’s all fine. The Bad News: My head still hurts like a bitch, which you can tell by the fact [...]

Infertile Enough?
Posted in blithering, on infertility on February 16, 2009 | 9 Comments »

In my first go-round with fertility treatment, I often thought about the fact that I really just didn’t have it all that hard. I have a relatively simple issue to correct – anovulatory PCOS – which does seem correctable with [...]
