Oh, definitely! Also, since it’s a weight-bearing area, you’ll have bone loss there if the hardware isn’t removed. That can be a problem. Shall we share manglement stories? You go first, if you want — mine is kinda awful.

Clomid is pretty low-key stuff. Your doctor should have a pretty good idea of what dose to start with, if he/she has some experience with fertility stuff. If you are concerned about overstimulation, ask to be started on a lower dose. I felt pretty normal on Clomid, just a little bit as though everything was ramped up…

Damn, that bites. Can you hire someone from the next town over to do something nasty to him anonymously? I don’t mean dangerous, just annoying and/or humiliating. I find that sometimes, revenge is the best revenge. Mwah-ha-ha-ha! ; )

Oh, honey, I am so sorry. Death sucks. This is the conclusion I have come to. I mean, we can’t just have the same people hanging on indefinitely, because then the human race would never evolve, but the current system sucks. It just sucks. I am sorry you are going through this. You get sympathy.

She is a single owner and employee of a small business, so, no, you don’t need to tip. If she was someone else’s employee, or was not getting everything you give her, you might want to tip her.

I sure did!

I feel for you. Politics in a small company is just as political as big-company politics, except there are fewer people around to absorb the distress. Maybe it’s time to make sure that when you’ve put in however many months you need in this job to move on, you have a great gig to go to. A little extra networking, some…

Used to get such severe cramps that the cramping chemicals would surge off to other parts of my body and give me digestive trouble and (no kidding) cardiac arrhythmias. My Gyn eventually rootled up an antique drug called Bentyl, which is actually derived from Belladonna. You might want to ask for some. It is a central…

I second that notion. It was the first thing I thought of. Honestly, can you imagine how desperate the patriarchy would get if every woman who was not ready to have a child was able to refrain? Especially with long-acting reversible forms of birth control, sales of diapers, formula, and children’s clothing would…
