Do you know me in “real life?”
If you are a friend or relative who has somehow found this blog... ummm... hello. I realize that nothing on the Internet is really private, and as long as this blog is public, I cannot stop you from reading it. However -- I did not start writing this blog with the intention that people I know "in real life" would be reading it -- and I would be grateful if you did not read any further. My blog is primarily about infertility struggles and life as Mom and in it I express my personal experiences, thoughts and feelings. This is my "safe place" where I can process my own thoughts and feelings. Also I may be sharing some things that are personal to my kids and I want their privacy respected. I would be very grateful if you didn't tell anyone else that we both know about this blog. Thank you for respecting my wishes and the privacy of my family.Hopelessly TTC

Acceptance brings Contentedness

Secondary Hypogonadism Success

Imagine if the Royal Baby were an Infertility Miracle Baby
Imagine if Wills and Kate had needed donor sperm to conceive? What would that mean for the line of succession? It should make no difference. But maybe I come at this from the perspective of someone who had to consider … Continue reading

Strange Dreams

The Twin Thing
