An August 2015 story quoted a Russian cabinet member saying that a condom ban would make citizens “more disciplined,” as well as “more strict and discriminating in choosing partners, and maybe will do a favor to our society in respect to solving demographic problems.”

*slow clap*

At least they refunded the money! *thumbs up emoji*

The GQ cover states that we’ll see Kim Kardashian ‘As we’ve never seen her before’. How is that possible? Haven’t we seen everything on Kim Kardashian, short of a colonoscopy?

We’re lucky in that our state (Illinois) has it mandated that health insurance pay for fertility treatments - both IUI and IVF would be covered at 100% (after our annual deductible, of course, and for that, you can contribute, tax free, into a health savings account [HSA]).

Seriously. As someone who is dealing with infertility, and a DH who doesn’t want everyone ‘up in his business’ (meaning,’No talking to family about our private issues.’) it would be great to see Jezebel have a series.

Believe me, some days are better than others - but then again, I’ve never felt that overwhelming, burning, desire to procreate. It’s always been, ‘Oh, that would be nice.’, as opposed to ‘WHY AM I NOT PREGGO YET?!’

Specifically, I have an ‘inhospitable environment’ - our friends (jokingly) call us ‘Chandler and Monica’ because those characters (in ‘Friends’) had those same issues.

Thanks. We’re still trying to figure out what to do next - it would be a straight shot, but I’m approaching 40, and he’s 41, and we’re both ambivalent about the whole situation. (Next steps: probably IUI - intrauterine insemination.) While we agree that a wee one would be nice, neither of us want to go through

My husband and I used it for the first few years we were married, and it worked well. Then, I decided to get an IUD, just to make sure things were OK. After having it removed, and TTC for 5 years, we discovered why it worked so well: DH’s sperm count was on the very low end of normal, with low motility, and I have

I love, love, LOVE your name and user pic! <3

I know they were giving her all the meds in the world to help with the pain, but why couldn’t they do a C-Section?

That’s the deceased with Adam Levine. That’s not his wife (Behati).

Custody battle? They wern’t married. Guy is alleged to have killed his baby momma - unless he posts some serious bail money, Idon’t think he’s going anywhere. Someone is going to have to take care of the infant - wouldn’t that go to Iana’s next of kin?

But...what about ‘tasteful side-boob’? Will no one think of the ‘tasteful side-boob’?

My husband and I were all, ‘Dude! Rickon hit puberty while in captivity!’ LMAO

My most sincere condolences to Patton and Alice. I cannot even fathom how horrible this loss is for their family. :’(

‘The Gift of Fear’ is an excellent book, and I heartily recommend it to anyone.

Sorry - not sorry. I’m from the Gavin deBceker school of thought on this: ‘No’ is a complete sentence. When you tell someone ‘no’, and they persist in their behavior, you have to ask yourself about why they’re attempting to control you.
