The whiny ramblings of a woman who wants what she can't have. The Stigma of Infertility →. August 18, 2013. It has clearly been a while since I posted.

I have been on no form of birth control for nearly 2 years. And now, I’ve been on clomid for two months. Now for the bad news:. Good god, what is happening to my nipples?
