It's been a while. Since I last wrote, I had a surgery to remove the scar tissue from my uterus. During my recovery, in response to the hormones I was taking, and a combination of life related stressors, I suffered a pretty intense nervous break down, and had to take several months off of work …
Asherman’s Syndrome
So, I never got my period. (See last post if this is a new topic for you). People kept telling me to be patient and that it would take my body time, but I knew something was not right. My doctor agreed with me, that it definitely was abnormal. She ordered blood work and did …
I miss my monthly visitor or What’s Up with my Body? or TMI
I still don't have a monthly visitor to call my own. Girls complain about this thing their whole lives, so you think I'd be happy not to menstruate, BUT I'm not. All my blood work has come back positive, and the same with that lovely pap smear, and yet 4 months post miscarriage and D&C …

Sunday Mornings/Being a Quaker who Can’t Sit Still is a Little Bit Ironic
Sunday morning is kind of a time when I feel like I should be at church, but I don't attend church. I am a member of a Quaker meeting in Orange County, California. The funniest thing to me being a Quaker is that at a Quaker meeting everyone sits in silence and waits to be …

Just Being/ Okay/ I’m Okay, Okay?
How am I supposed to just be these days? If I stay quiet IRL is that the same as not posting on Facebook/Instagram/Wordpress/My Blog for a week? Will you know I am okay? Will I know I am okay? If is the internet doesn't know that I am okay, am I okay? What is okay anyway? …
Racism in Your Back Yard, I mean MY Back Yard
I live in Santa Ana. I studied Urban and Regional Planning. I am white and I would consider myself upper middle class, and lately I have been noticing a lot of changes in the neighborhood around me. This morning I had the privilege of attending a Unitarian Universalist church in Laguna Hills, and I got …

DIY Hair or Hair Trauma/Drama or I wanted to post all these Photos of Me with Good and Bad Hair Days
DIY Haircuts have always been a thing for me. The earliest memory I have of giving myself a haircut is when I was about 5 years old, and I was at my best friend's house in Bishopville, MD. My mom has repeatedly been saying that I really needed a haircut, and so I thought Why not …
Loss is Loss
I don't have anything funny to say about this. I am not in a joking mood, so I don't think you should read this if you don't want to read something sad. Today we lost another baby. It was a fur baby this time, but the loss hurts just as much if not more than …
You Will Forget One Day or Miscarrying is Lame
Hi Guys. Trigger warning if the title didn't clue you in, I'm going to talk about having a miscarriage right now. I have shared pretty openly about things in the past, and so I will share again, but this one might be less humorous than normal, because, well, it has to be. Charles and I …

TTC or there is a world of acronyms you don’t want to be familiar with.
I recently learned that TTC is an acronym for people who are trying to get pregnant or what it stands for: trying to conceive. I was initiated into this club when I shared the news that Charlie and I were trying to get pregnant and my friend suggested that I join a TTC facebook group. …
