Lack of Contact

See, this is what I was afraid of...the minute I stopped talking about infertility or my cooter (take your pick, high-brow or low-brow), I would start to lose readers. Or at least commenters. Really, I'm an interesting person despite the fact that I am trying to move forward after years of disappointment and heartache.

No drama, no love?

Oh, come on! You know we love you for more than the drama!

(You're better than me, I can't even think of anything to post. My life has become nice and uninteresting... Just the way I like it.)

Donna, I just haven't really had a whole lot to say lately. I haven't even really been keeping up the blog much...just my venting rages from clomid this week. I've been laying kind of low because I have not felt all that great, but I still come on here and read your blog!
BTW, this was the first round on clomid and the reason they did it was to check the ovarian reserve....I don't think I'm doing this again that's for sure! It's the meds from hell!

Don't worry, Donna ... I'm here and reading even if I don't always comment!

Writing a blog is a lot like having sex. You gotta think of yourself first, girlfriend ;)

I'm still reading... but... I find it harder to come up with my usual wise-ass remarks when it's not in the realm of IF... I know... it's totally unfair... I'll try to be a sarcastic bitch again and show up more often.

Cooter?

Sue, Cooter is my current favorite slang term for my vagina. See also Coochie, Hoo-Hoo, Poozle. What are you calling it these days?

You know we love you! Manuela made me laugh and she had a good point - a lot of us don't know what to say if we can't be sarcastic and bitchy! -Kym

Be as sarcastic and bitchy as you like -- don't tell me you can only be that way about IF topics, ladies. I know this was an unqualified whining pathetic call for more attention, but when I'm feeling low I crave the love.

I can really relate to your situation. I do have one kid (14 years old) and hubby and I have had to resign ourselves to the fact that we're done with kids. We wanted more but it just didn't work out. I can't do the clomid, basal temperature, pillow under hips after sex, blah blah blah crap anymore. We had a son who would be 5 years old now and after we lost him in my 2nd trimester, I knew I couldn't ever go through that again.

Still here.

I'm still reading, but haven't had as much time to comment lately. I like your terms for cooter. In Australia we tend to go for muff, fanny and clack.

Donna -- We're still out here!

Here and reading, girl.

I am here, reading and enjoying. I never post though. I read form work and don't really have time to post. I LOVE your blog. Keep up the good work!

LOL!
I sometimes refer to it as my Yoohoo!

Here is the love. I was a little mia the last few days, but wanted to say a) you leave the most wonderful comments (thanks!) b) I added your blog to mine c) You are interesting beyond IF! God, is that all we are reduced to?

As for slang vagina terms, I had a friend who said "vj". I think it's interesting that Australian's use "fanny". To me, that's synonymous with butt, bum, rear, bottom. Do you think the regional differences have anything to do with living on opposite sides of the equator?

When we were in the UK we made the mistake of referring to our "fanny pack". Our friend went beet red and whispered that its called a "bum bag"!

I read regularly as well although it is true that people's comments go through the roof at times of joy or crisis.
