It’s no secret that there are a lot of particular and personal questions a Fertility Care Practitioner asks a client during a follow-up. And it’s not because practitioners are nosey or don’t understand personal boundaries; on the contrary, a good practitioner is able to professionally inquire about personal topics in a thorough manner.  This intense attention-to-detail during a follow-up allows a practitioner to properly assess how well a woman or couple is learning the meth

Picture this: six women walk into a room, each at a different stage of life's journey. One is a single gal, another just got engaged,...

I've heard it said often "we live in a soundbite world." Technology, and how we process information, is changing at a break-neck pace. Do we truly live in a soundbite world? And is that term even still relevant? Who even listens to soundbites anymore? Maybe we should think of it more like a headline culture. Or, perhaps, an Instagram or TwitX culture. According to Gallup , fewer books are being read with a more pronounced drop being seen amongst college graduates. Maybe its j

On behalf of all the wonderful Fertility Care Practitioners at the Groesbeck Fertility Care  Center, happy New Year’s! As fate would have it, I have the privilege of writing the first blog of the Groesbeck Fertility Care  Center for 2024, an honor I also received last year for 2023.  While I reviewed some helpful tips to turn over a new leaf in the new year last year, I thought it would be helpful this year to explore how motivation makes all the difference to sticking to n

I'm really excited about all the holiday-related posts we have so far about double peaks, self gift, and charting while traveling. In the...

Last year during the holiday season, I wrote about how to handle nosy relatives that butt into your sex life . And last week, Jessica talked about how holiday stress can affect your chart . So what else is there left to discuss about the charting and the holiday season? Alcohol! I'm kidding. Gifts, actually. Specifically, spousal self-gift. In the past, Karoline, has discussed the meaning of sexual intercourse on a natural level . I'd like to dive a bit deeper into her discus

As a young lady, I believed that having a period meant that I must be ovulating and was able to get pregnant. Many women have had "the...

Happy Halloween! I hope that you have fun spending time with your children, handing out, eating candy, etc. or wherever you find yourself this Halloween. Much like Halloween, the Sunday Scaries can be....well...scary. You know the feeling: Sunday afternoon rolls around and you've got a knot in your stomach thinking of all of the things that need to get done throughout the week. Maybe it's the project you've been procreating at work, that difficult conversation with your frien

It was a typical Monday night bedtime routine. I was attempting to lead the kids through their bedtime prayers while my husband was retrieving our oldest from her Monday night activity. Per usual, I was wiped out from a day that became busier than it needed to be and was consequently short on patience, thinking of all the things I still needed to finish before the day was over. So while my other three littles were busy with their typical bedtime antics, I was hustling throu

This is an excerpt I wrote back in December 2022: “This comes to you after a lot of tears. And I mean a lot. Phone calls, frustration, losing my cool at times. Sometimes suffering and bearing the weight of difficulties is just a lot. Through tears, I’ve been given a lot. In the past few months I’ve made more emergency room visits than I have in my entire life with conditions that just aren’t appropriate to say in a blog. I’ve watched results come back with numbers deceasing,
