Word of the Day
After M and I decided to stop fertility treatments I started thinking about going back to school and getting my Master’s degree. I started looking into what the entrance exams required and signed up for a daily email for a word of the day. The entrance exams had a verbal section and I wanted to expand my verbal word recognition. I passed my entrance exam last year but I still get the word of the day emails. Today I got my first infertility related word of the day after almost 2 years of these emails! Here is a link to the actual website for the word.
The word today is ectopic. The definition is “Occurring in an abnormal position or place; displaced”. Also for the origin of the word, “Ectopic is from the invented Greek word ectopia meaning "out of place." It was coined in 1873.”
I have never had an ectopic pregnancy, but I know too many infertility bloggers have.
I was just excited to see an infertility topic in my emails this morning and thought I would share it in this post.
WOW...2 years. You'd think that would be under science and would have appeared sooner.
ReplyDeleteI think it's good if people know what ectopics are. (I had two very different ectopics - I'm an expert!) Interesting that it took two years for an infertility/pregnancy loss term to turn up.
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting. :-D
