The Struggles of Infertility: DEIVF Round 1, IVF Attempt No.2

I can’t wrap my head around the last month or so… It’s been challenge after challenge. Stress after stress. The past two-three weeks have been really really shit to be honest. I feel like a failure, that I’ve let my husband, our families and our friends down. I know so many of you were rooting for us and we appreciate…

Continuing To Raise Awareness For Endometriosis

I try to raise awareness about Endometriosis every March, and apologies that I’m a little (ok, a lot) late this year. Truthfully, it doesn’t matter which month you raise awareness for a chronic illness. I’ve shared a portion through-out the past eight or so years, so I feel I’m some-what doing my bit.  For those who don’t know my back…

So, as some of you guys know… Joe and I went through IVF in January 2020 (which I can’t believe was two years ago now) and sadly wasn’t successful, which I go into detail here. We have…

My IVF Story

I’ve been debating about posting this, because one, it’s really fucking personal, and two, this could potentially help someone going through IVF and fertility issues. As only my family and some of my close friends know, I just want to get my story out into the digital world. So here it goes… *deep breaths* Last year in January we went…

Please Stop Asking Me When I’m Going To Have …

I’m sure a lot of newlyweds are going to feel me on this one. The dreaded question, “When are you having kids?” Joe and I have been married almost 2 years and together 8. After you say ‘I do’, everyone expects you to fall pregnant shortly after. I’m relatively happy living my life as it is. I have a good…
