Really? That hasn't been my impression. I thought you had to meet with social services people, have them in your home for interviews, fill out forms in which you disclose skeletons in your closet like past drug addiction or depression, get judged based on the apparent quality of your relationship with your S.O., not…

Has your sperm been used to actually father a child? I didn't think there was any guarantee of it being used, or that you would even know if it got used by a couple or woman.

Me too! In the gut hurts like hell. My husband had to do the injections for me, I didn't have the stomach for it.

Wow, you're... you're just awful, aren't you?

Also - the best age to have an abortion is the age at which you want or need an abortion. That said, I enjoyed reading this.

Ass shots you say? Huh. I had to get them in the abdomen. Maybe it varies from infertility clinic to infertility clinic? Or maybe ass shots just sounds funnier.

I had a coworker who had a long torso. Like, disproportional to the length of her arms and legs. Or maybe she just had short legs, idk.

Your cynicism is making my nether regions tingle.

Veneers ftw.

I think part of parents not getting it is that 50 years ago, the average person simply did not put 50% of their income towards a place to live (rent or mortgage). The standard was more like 25-30%. But housing costs have skyrocketed, as have food prices. The olds aren't dense, they're just in an old-fashioned mindset,…

I agree, this article is a wee bit of a buzzkill. Yeah, it's a little nuts that culturally we encourage such a focus on a single day and the "princess-dom" thing, but we totes do, and if it's fun and exciting for you why fight it? I was a very chill bride if I do say so myself, but it was fun as hell to play around…

I would be so intrigued by a man who had a wedding binder.

And what do you say to the man who is bitter and angry because he feels robbed of the genitalia that were rightfully his? Too bad, so sad?

With the way circ rates are falling in the US, pretty soon it's going to be the boys who are missing a part that get teased.

Oh my god, I had the same thing with the acne! on my chin and around my lips! Man that sucked. It seemed like every time one finally went away, another one or two popped up so my face was never ever perfectly clear. Can you invest in an acne lamp? Trophy Skin makes a good one, it helped a lot. I can't use the…

That is very interesting. I had not heard of inositol. Thank you for the link.

Ahh! Gotcha.

Not at all, happy to answer. I was on it I think about 9 months before the surprise conception, maybe 10. I had read in a PCOS forum that a really-roughly-estimated-no-one-really-knows-but-maybe-50% of women infertile due to PCOS are able to conceive once on metformin, and when it didn't happen for me within the…

Officially, iirc the FDA has approved metformin solely for the treatment of Type II diabetes. So for those women diagnosed with PCOS who are not diabetics, have never had blood sugar problems, been pre-diabetic or shown signs of developing gestational diabetes, it would be considered off label, no? I guess the…

Your gynecologist is uninformed. I highly recommend finding a new one or asking your general physician for metformin. I had to have fertility treatment to conceive my first child, but after going on metformin I had a surprise conception. Metformin is prescribed off-label for PCOS, as it is officially for patients…
