- It's Only Okay If I Say It (finding an attitude and spirit of peace)
- Always Worrying About Tomorrow (changing my thought patterns)
- Sending Out A Big F-You To Infertility (deciding where to put my anger)
- 9 Things I Shouldn't Have To Deal With As An Infertile (fun and sarcastic)

- Made It Through AF (without calling the doctor to start Femera IUI round 1)
- Done Fighting (making the decision to go rogue)
If you're interested in how I got to this point, everything before July 2011 tells the tale of realizing IF, taking a natural approach (aromatherapy, acupuncture, herbs, meditation), 6 rounds of Clomid and 2 IUIs (with all the gory details), all of the stupid things that people say, and being pissed off.
I wrote this blog not only to help myself, but to help others as well, so I can't wait to hear how my words encourage/help/effect/touch/inspire/depress(hopefully not) you!
Hi Kendra! I have enjoyed poking around your blog. It seems that we have a similar IF story, minus living in the bible belt thing. Come visit me at Infertile in a Fertile Land!
ReplyDeleteHappy ICLW week!
I think you made a valid point at saying what can and cannot be said to an infertile.
ReplyDeleteWere the docs able to give you a pin-point reason for your infertility?
Enjoy ICLW ! I am #39.
Happy ICLW!

i hope your time away from doctors gives you what you need....all the best

I have been reading some of your blogs, I am sorry that your journey to parenthood has been such a struggle. My hubby has very low morph, I think only 3% normal - have you seen improvement in your hubby's results since taking the herbs? Do you see a doctor or just find them at a store?
ReplyDeleteWishing you peace and hope as you wait.
Blessings

I agree, we do have a lot in common. I loved your post of 9 things IF'ers shouldn't have to deal with!
ReplyDeleteWow, could you be more organized (no)? Can't wait to explore your links! ICLW #43
ReplyDeleteHere from ICLW! I've enjoyed having a poke around your blog! I'm sorry it's been such a long struggle for you. I'd love to be able to honestly say it gets better, but it's been 8 years for us and we're now moving onto adoption. I think you have a wonderful attitude, though! I love that you're trying to focus on the positive things in your life. That's something I'm struggling with myself. I'll be following your journey!
