Name that Infertility Land! Sometimes we feel like we're living in a foreign country. People who enter don't speak our language or understand our customs.
Let's stick our flag in the ground and name this country. The person who comes up with a name for this barren land (ha, ha, ha, that's IF humour...sigh) will get a big thank you in the book. So write us with your suggestions for what we can call Infertility Land. That is better than Infertility Land...

Who am I?
Melissa, otherwise known as Mel, The Stirrup Queen, and most recently nicknamed Lollipop Goldstein, has been blogging since 2006. She keeps three main sites: Stirrup Queens, Lost and Found (LFCA), and Bridges. She also writes for BlogHer. She's known to Twitter about her wonky ovaries and you can also find her on Facebook. While you're there, you can also become a fan of Navigating the Land of If on Facebook.If you want to figure out how to navigate this site, please click here. There's a lot to process on the sidebars alone and this should help you from getting lost. If you want to know about my header and the image, click here.
She doesn't really know why she is writing about herself in third person, but you can read a lot more about her right here.
What is Stirrup Queens? It's a blog about infertility and pregnancy loss, an exploration of adoption and donor gametes, a bitch session about daily life and books, an outlet for stories and baking lessons written by a sustainable-living, kosher, Jewish, mother of twins conceived via fertility treatments who is still trying to add to her family.

It won't win but I always call this place:
"The Island of Misfit Ovaries" to my hubby.
I always feel like a toy that didn't get put together correctly. :(

My husband and I are currently on vacation from "Desperation" but for some reason I long to return. He's fine staying away for a couple years, but I can't imagine being gone that long. Some people would compare it to a car accident- it's terrible, but you can't seem to look away. I used to be a paramedic, so to me car accidents are just about the most exciting thing in the world. Hmmm, maybe I shouldn't admit that, but it just goes to show that the pain and sufferering of IF don't affect me in any normal way, somehow I thrive on it.
What about: Barren Bermuda?
Childless Cancun? Infertile Iceland? (Oh, I like that one... kinda fits with that line from Raising Arizon... "Her womb was a rocky place where my seed could find no purchase")

I think I would call it the "black hole", mostly because IF and everything related to it ABSORBS all the rest of your life: friendship, sex, work, it's like all your life starts to turn around "having (or not having) babies"
