OurInfertilityJourney

The subject of "having children" is all way hard for me when it comes up in conversation. Yes, I do want children more than anything. Unless you have PCOS or any fertility issues no one really knows how difficult it is when hearing a pregnancy announcement. I scroll on Facebook daily and see friends and people I graduated with who have just announced they are having a second or third child. It is very hard to read or even be happy for them, at first, because I'm their age and still have not had one child. There are days that I don't even want to go on Facebook because I know I will see another announcement and go through all of the emotions. There are also days where I will sit on you-tube and watch pregnancy announcement compilations. It breaks my heart when I hear that people, who should not have kids are having kids left and right. I come from a Catholic family and married into one. I pride myself in being a spiritual person, but at times have questioned my rel...

This is the story of how my husband and I met and fell in love! While in college I had decided to join a dating website, it was not your typical site like those on the commercials. It through our local country music radio station. I had signed up hoping to find someone but not really expecting to find anyone. I had never had a relationship or even dated in high school, mostly because of my weight, but at that time I had no clue that I had a disorder. So this had all taken place in 2006. I was asked by a friend of mine to sign up to do an internship with her. We where set to leave for this internship in may of 2006, we would inturn at Walt Disney world in Florida for 3-7 months. We got the great news in February around that time I had a notification that I had a match on the dating website. I looked at his profile and decided to start up a conversation. We ended up hitting it off and would talk online for hours every day. We even excepted each other's friend request on myspace( ya...

Again I want to start off by saying I am not a professional in any way! I am just a women wanting to tell her story. Today I will share my medical history for those who are interested. I was not all ways over weight. As a child my parents did everything they could to feed us healthier food, I didn't have a lot of junk or sweets. My mom was telling me the other day that, no matter what they did I just kept gaining the weight, I was hungry all the time. Fast forward to 6th grade, I was seen by an endocrinologist, and was tested for Thyroid issues, everything came back negative. Even from the start my periods have all ways been irregular, I would get them fairly consistently in the beginning, but they would last a little longer then average. All this time my mom still concerned about my weight gain, but to no avail. I was basically told to watch what I eat and eat healthier. Fast forward again to high school. In high school I did the Weight Watcher program with a relative of min...
