I’ve always thought of myself as Snow White. No, I don’t sing into wishing wells (only because we don’t have any in New York City) but I do have very dark hair, light skin, ruby lips (thanks to MAC Cosmetics) and I’ve always had a fondness for apples. As you know, Snow White had seven […]

Dear Universe, I’m tired. I’m tired of peeing on stuff. I’m tired of people reminding me my age and that the f*cking clock is ticking. Maybe my clock is digital assholes! Back off! I’m tired of thinking of comebacks when people ask me why we haven’t had kids yet. I’m tired of getting unsolicited advice…especially

As some of you know, I perform stand-up comedy from time to time. When I was younger and single, I use to perform on a regular basis. These days, I prefer staying home and writing in my comfy home office. It gives me more time with my husband, I don’t have the same intense pressure

How am I tonight? I can sum it up with these six words: Worried, pensive, anxious and craving cheese. It’s the night before my surgery to remove my loitering uterine polyp, Jackson Polyp and I don’t know what I’m more upset about: the surgery itself or that I have to wake up at 5am. My
Sometimes, I think of the “Working Towards Conceiving” as one big board game. You roll the dice, you pick up cards (“Insemination Failed – go back 3” or “You Actually Know When You’re Ovulating This Month – Go ahead 1”), you very often get sent back to start but hopefully, somehow, you will end the

Lately, I’ve been finding myself waking up in the middle of the night with thoughts of doubt… I should have gotten a second opinion sooner…. I should have started trying to get pregnant the second we got married…. I should have told more of my friends about our struggle…. I should lose forty pounds… I

At one of my old office jobs, there was a woman in tech support named Miao. She had moved to America from China only a few years earlier and her English was limited. Whenever anyone called her with any computer issue whether it was related to email, Microsoft word, the keyboard or the entire computer

Let’s review, shall we? After about a year and a half of more unprotected sex than a New Jersey teenager, three failed inseminations (including one involving a Starbucks bathroom… don’t ask), many expensive ovulation prediction kits, sperm friendly lubricants, Clomid, primrose oil, baby aspirin, cough syrup, desperation, thousands of dollars, periods of depression and a
