Life Stuffs

While waiting patiently for my FET, somehow the Earth just keeps spinning!  So I have kept on moving right along with it.  I have developed new interests and rekindled old ones.  Although I am at a point where everything does not revolve around my infertility, I do feel my new and old passions have been …

Guess who’s back….

Hey everyone....why do I do this??  This is my first post this entire YEAR.  Yikes.  Hey, better late than never right?  I'm excited to catch up with some of the bloggers who put me to shame on here, but inspire me all at the same time.  How do you all keep up with blogging?  I …

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 …

Thoughts on giving up social media for one week.

I am a bit of a Facebook addict.  I don't spend hours on end scrolling, nor do I post a whole heck of a lot.  However I do randomly check Facebook several times a day.  If I'm feeling overwhelmed at work, sitting in a long line of traffic, brushing my teeth (see, I told you it's …

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, …

Thoughts for National Infertility Awareness Week

I can't believe it's been two and a half years since I was officially diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve.  30 months of living with it.  When I think back to that time in October of 2013, sometimes I just laugh and miss how innocent I was.  Like I said in my last post, I didn't …

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. In some ways, infertility has made me more compassionate and understanding.  It's made me realize that we all have things going on that may not necessarily be known, but that …

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 …
