Mistakes in Motherhood

Today Bobby and I went to visit my OB/GYNs office to learn more about starting intra-uterine insemination (IUI) next cycle. As soon as I get my period I will call the office to get my Clomid ordered, a very mild fertility medication. As soon as I get a positive Ovulation Prediction Kit (OPK) I will call the office to schedule insemination.

The only thing that is stopping me now is that I am late, probably because I don’t think I ovulated last month, the 2nd time since January ’06, figures it would be the month I want my period early. I am starting to get crampy, hopefully it is not just wishful thinking.

Oh, I almost forgot, I am also getting a hysterosalpingogram (HSG) around cycle day 5-7. I had this done back in 1999 and although it was somewhat uncomfortable (I mean it IS dye being inserted into the uterus and fallopian tubes though a catheter) it was nothing that I cannot handle and has a side effect of slightly increased fertility for a few cycles.

I am not a grammar snob by any means and my spelling and grammar is far from perfect, but I REALLY hate when people say ax instead of ask. In the video below a teacher is getting heat for teaching seminars on anti-slang language usage in high school and college students. The reason why people are upset? He is African American and targeting young black youth whom he says are most at risk for speaking incorrectly. I don’t get it though, what is wrong with someone trying to rescue children of their own race and help them succeed in the workforce?
