2016 we are breaking up….

Don't get me wrong, I have to admit 2016 was a pretty awesome year.  I got to plan the wedding I never knew I always wanted, I married my soul mate, and we bought a cute little house that we are now making our home.  M and I got to enjoy just being a regular …

The sundry side of my life….

So thus far this blog has been pretty much solely infertility-centric.  Infertility has been my biggest hurdle in life, partly just the effort it takes to go through it but mostly because the outcome is so unknown.  It's also been challenging to not really have a venting outlet as so many people just Don't. Get. It. …

So this happened….

I got married!  Yep, for the last two months I have been busy planning a wedding, no big deal 😉  M and I finally tied the knot, almost 4 years to the day we started dating.  Four years together, almost 3 of those fighting the infertility monster.  Four years of happiness, sadness, excitement, disappointments, adventures, …

It’s not all about me! Except that sometimes I want it to be.

You guys, in case you've forgotten, infertility really sucks.  It's changed me.  It's changed my personality.  And sometimes, I don't like those changes.  At all.

Back with a vengeance. Or just back:)

So.  Holy crap.  I haven't written anything on this blog for a whopping 18 months.  Is that some kind of record?!  Well, it should be!  A part of me was just going to scrap this blog and start over fresh, but then I thought wait a second, I created this space so I could have …

It has been a while…..

Hello fellow bloggers and friends.  It has been a long while since I've written.  To be honest I don't really feel like writing now, but I am making myself because hopefully writing and catching up on all your stories will help to get out of the rut I am in.  Since my 2nd IVF round …

I am so honored to have been nominated for the One Lovely Blog Award by Sarah at Where's My Baby Bear .  Thank you so much, and it came at just the perfect time as well.  I initially started this blog to work through my very varied emotions regarding infertility, which is a work in …

Another day, another cancelled IVF cycle

The title says it all, doesn't it?  What I was fearing the most happened and unfortunately my second IVF cycle was cancelled, much like the first one due to a poor response.  Actually, this cycle was worse than the last one in that only one follicle was larger than 10, although I had ten follicles …

IVF Round 2 – In Progress

Fellow bloggers, I just wanted to say even though I am new to blogging I am really enjoying getting to read everyone's stories and reading all the advice and love I receive in comments to my posts.  We each have our own stories and we all come from different places, but our desires are the …
