We haven’t changed our status to active yet and we’re not sure when we will. We didn’t recover as much money as we thought we would and frankly we’re still feeling emotionally wrought from this summer. I’m sure if we got another call, we’d find a way to be ready, but we’re just not quite [...]

Life goes on

We haven’t gone back “active” just yet, we’re waiting until DH comes back from his conference before we make a final decision about what we want to do. In the meantime I’m working on me. I decided that I might not ever be ready to do full-fledged fertility treatments again, but we might try naturally [...]
Milestone

When you start trying to conceive you become a bit more open with your bodily functions. You talk about your cycle and your husband begins to learn things about the woman’s body that he could not have imagined. When you struggle with infertility it gets worse. There are no secrets between a husband and a [...]
Beginnings

Starting a new thing is always difficult. We’re reluctant to change and are quite happy with the status quo. Yet new things, beginnings, are always around the corner. It’s a new year, we’re about to start a new month, and I’m starting a new book. Now some writers might really love to start new books, [...]
I’m back

I’ve been away for several weeks because frankly I didn’t know what to write. I set this up as our adoption blog, but then we haven’t been able to move forward with that so I felt like I had nothing to say. But while we’re on hold from pursuing adoption we certainly have other things [...]
A newfound peace

Last night was rough. I just felt torn. Felt like if I chose adoption, then that meant I was giving up on having birth children. And the fact of it is, I want both. Adoption isn’t an alternative for me or a last resort or “well, then I guess we’ll adopt” kind of thing. It’s [...]
Sadness

Well, it appears as if we failed. Again. Three cycles in a row since our miscarriage and I’m just at a loss. I had such hope for this one with the new meds, but my body just isn’t cooperating. I’m so tired of being sad. I’m tired of all the focus on me. I’m tired [...]
A whole new vocabulary

Once you start on the trying to conceive journey, if you’re on-line with your quest at all, you’ll soon learn there is an entire language that goes with it. Case in point, the phrase trying to conceive become TTC for short. Lots of acronyms and abreviations and it can get really confusing. And since DH [...]
Let the obsession begin

Yesterday it started with cramps, low in my pelvis and all the way across. Different from standard AF cramps and constant dull ache in my lower back. I always have cramps and back pain in the 2ww – I keep reminding myself of this. And any of it can be caused from the myriad of [...]

Today has been tough. When I woke up, I was feeling positive, but it was fleeting. I’m not even certain what set me off, but I’ve just been sad today. Feeling overwhelmingly emotional. As I mentioned before if this cycle doesn’t work then DH and I are taking a break because of the finances. My [...]
