Well, that was awkward…” – Understanding papa’s role in the IVF Process

Hello Internets! Eric here again. I’ve spent my last few contributions here on the blog talking about some of the emotional aspects of the process; feelings, internal monologues, coping strategies. This week… not so much. Nope. Today is all about the male perspective on the process in the real world. The actual. The tangible.

Top Foods to Eat (and Avoid!) If You Have Endometriosis

Your fertility journey never leaves you behind

If it doesn’t kill you, it can only make you stronger.

Does infertility change how we think about the future?

On a day that’s all about the future, let me say first that today’s Election-Day post will not talk about politics. But it will talk about The Future, not as in “stuff that’s happening tomorrow”, but The Future as in cue-baritone-narrator, capital T, capital F “The Future”, the big shape-of-things-to-come Future.
