    MissGirl, if you have any background of irregular cycles or family history of infertility, I'd honey badger your doctor's office until they talk to you too. I knew I didn't ovulate on my own (and hadn more »

    Poppy, I don't have too much advice, just some empathy. I have a similar relationship with my mom, who is also very sensitive and doesn't take criticism well. It's tough when there's a tug-of-war with more »

    SS, what great weights for your twins! How long will they let you go? Did they schedule a C-section? You must be getting more uncomfortable as the temperatures rise; I hope you have AC access!

    Siena, I just looked at that blog and the whole thing is a massive eye-roll. She's pretty self-congratulatory and obnoxious. (And she does weird syntax things that bother me.) Occasionally I hate-read more »
