I’m excited to say I’ve picked a donor. I had it narrowed down to 3 guys and over the weekend, having some input from friends (and my mom), I’ve made my big decision. So, now I’ll be putting in my order – wow! My selected donor is a tall blonde green eyed teacher who has… Read More The Choice
I’m happy to say that I was able to meet up with another SMC (Single Mother by Choice) earlier this week. Turns out she lives right down the road from my new place and has two sons that she’s raised on her own and used donors for both. It was so much fun to meet… Read More Someone Who Knows
In case anyone thought “wow, Morgen really has it all together,” I wanted to assure you that is not the current situation in my life. These are my two cats, Marvin and Penny. 95% of the time, they are BEST friends. Sometimes they tussle with each other, but mostly they’re pals. Today, something went wrong.… Read More Warm Up
As I go through this adventure I am surprised to find so many people who have had similar experiences. Sure, they aren’t all exactly the same, but some of very close. I’ve been added to some Facebook groups and even found a chick locally (that of course knows my friends because it’s Chattanooga and that’s… Read More SMC
Doctors appointment on Thursday at TRM went well. Dr Scotchie went over all my labs with me and said that I was in the “normal” range for my (34) age group. She said all looked good with the HSG as well as the ultrasound – a good follicle count, no blockages in tubes, etc. She… Read More Full Steam Ahead

It’s the old gag about the turkey baster – except, of course, it’s not quite like that. For details about IUI you can check out the TRM website. In general, when… Read More IUI IVF ETC
I’ve been doing something lately that I haven’t allowed myself to do regularly for a really long time – sit down and watch tv. Having been under the clock about the CPA exam for almost all of the past 2 years meant that any time I spent “doing nothing” was on some level of sin.… Read More New Girl
Growing up, like a lot of people, I’m sure, I had a complicated relationship with my father. One thing I can say for sure, no matter what, is that he loved me. Flawed like all of us, some worse than others, and some less self aware than others, he did what he could to assure… Read More Father’s Day
The last few days I’ve been running into different people who keep happily exclaiming”I love your blog!” Now, let it be known that I am AWFUL at receiving compliments – very, very bad. Self deprecation immediately flows out of my mouth as I back away most of the time someone says something nice to me… Read More I’m Reading Your Blog and I Love It!
Habits are a real headache. For almost 20 years, I’ve woken up and taken a birth control pill everyday. It was never a hassle, it was just what I did. I added some allergy medicine in there over the past five years or so, and that was fine too. So why is it that suddenly… Read More Habits
