I. Am. Monday.
October 17, 2005
I am not pregnant. In fact, I started my new cycle a whole three days earlier than usual. I’ve never been early for anything in my life. I normally dislike being early; this is no exception. I am tired and crabby. I am addicted to decaffeinated tea–The Republic of Tea’s “Earl Greyer.” I know it … More I. Am. Monday.
Wherein I talk a lot about sperm, my cervix, and obsession in the context of television, film, music and literature.
October 6, 2005
I told myself I was NOT going to talk about this. I promised myself. I swore it. But I can’t help it. I am a crazy woman. I should be following a truck with a huge sign on it declaring, “WARNING! WARNING! WOMAN WITH SPERM APPROACHING!! I had my fourth insemination on Sunday morning. I … More Wherein I talk a lot about sperm, my cervix, and obsession in the context of television, film, music and literature.
Commander-in-Chief
September 27, 2005
I don’t know about you guys, but I for one find it symbolic that Geena Davis’s new show “Commander-in-Chief,” on which she plays the Vice President-would-be-President, is premiering tonight, the very same night that my eggs, also known as Geena1, are making their way to Fertilization Central. I have spoken with the coordinator at my … More Commander-in-Chief
What? Wait! Press what?
September 24, 2005
Today I called my clinic to find out when I would need to order my sperm, what number I would need to call with my OPK surge, etc. The woman with the answers is Peggy, and Peggy and I have talked several times before, but today Peggy was on another line so I got her … More What? Wait! Press what?
"Don’t make me go all Missy Elliot on your ass!"
September 23, 2005
There’s a Cheryl Wheeler song called “Is it peace or is it Prozac?” I find myself asking a similar question this morning: Is it Clomid, or am I a bitch? When I took Clomid before I started having odd dreams, and then I was pregnant and my dreams turned downright bizarre. I started a new … More "Don’t make me go all Missy Elliot on your ass!"
The bitch is back
September 19, 2005
According to my Fertility Friend BBT chart, I should begin a new cycle today or tomorrow. That means in about two weeks I’ll be inseminating for the first time since July. I am excited and terrified. If life had a fast-forward button I would use it today. Uncertainty is a bitch. So is PMS. And … More The bitch is back
Time to get off the couch
August 11, 2005
Well, I’ve done it again. It’s been almost a month since I’ve been here. Not that I haven’t had plenty to talk about, mind you, and maybe that’s the problem–there’s been too much to talk about. It’s hard to know where to begin. I’ll just start at the beginning. Worked for Julie Andrews and all … More Time to get off the couch

Geena and Joey, sitting in a tree, F-E-R-T-I-L-I-Z-I-N-G
July 2, 2005
It’s all up to nature now. The date began at 10. Only time will tell if it will result in a long term relationship. I must say that I’m pleased with yesterday’s Geena Davis allusion, because today I saw an ad on TV for a new show in the fall lineup about a WOMAN PRESIDENT, … More Geena and Joey, sitting in a tree, F-E-R-T-I-L-I-Z-I-N-G
