Straight from PHIL's mouth:
This photomicrograph reveals bacteria adhering to vaginal epithelial cells known as “clue cells”. “Clue cells” are epithelial cells that have had bacteria adhere to their surface, obscuring their borders, and imparting a stippled appearance. The presence of such clue cells is a sign that the patient has bacterial vaginosis.
Isn't it pretty? (Thanks Jenny!)I read a lot of amazing blog posts during the day and am inspired by every single one in one way or another. If I had the time or energy, I would mention all of them. Today, Aurelia at No Matter How Small pinned down the meaning of blogging for me. She tells a great story at the end about which I can't stop thinking. I highly recommend heading over there and checking it out. Thanks Aurelia, I needed that.
OK, now I am going to crawl back under the down comforter and resume the fetal position.

I laughed out loud when I realized what that picture was! And like everyone else has been saying, at least you can get through this and get pregnant!! Wohoo! :) I'm headed over to the blog you mentioned now to read it...I SHOULD be working on my personal statement for the grad program I'm applying for but reading blogs is way better!
Hope you feel better soon so the wine drinking can continue!
Aw shucks...sending some love right back at ya...and wow, what a great resource for science pictures and stuff. I love looking at anything science related, and bonus next time my kid does a project, we'll have some good visuals!
funny how something so terrible can take a great picture.
how goes the treatment?
Ah yes, the dreaded cootercootie. Sort of like a yeast infection but not quite. Yay. At least they know the right drugs to kill things like that.....
I would like to get a bunny like the one you described. I think it would be funny for our dog to be scared of it.
currently we have two dwarf rabbits. I wish I had known more about them before we got them as dwarfs aren't really people rabbits.
Sorry to hear you have BV-yuck! Thanks for the comment on my blog. Want to know a secret? I have an IF blog too. I have hidden it on my profile since I wasn't ready to share it with all the people that read the Lanai blog. If you are interested the link is: www.oscarsplaymate.blogspot.com
Hi Nicole. I found you while reading Jackie's blog. I am also a woman in science trying to conceive. Sometimes I wish I did no know as much about the science behind conceiving... but again knowledge is power, isn't it? Good luck to you.
I am just finishing my PhD In pharmacology and Toxicology and I am ready to start working!!! Hope I survive the thesis writing process
Nice meeting you and Good luck
hey...get your ass out of the bed and get doing some exercise!!!!
Staying in the fetal position will not make one...
hope you feel better soon...
Good luck in what you are doing.
Wow. I can't believe the CDC has a picture of that. One of everything.
Thanks for sending me over to read Aurelia's cool story! (((HUG)))
Every woman has the right to dream of a child. Tubal reversal allows a woman's ability to conceive naturally without any harm.
I believe that all women should go to learn Reversal of Tubal Ligation solution of their problems ..
