Tonight I am 1 week away from holding my baby girl. I honestly never thought we'd get here. Years of heartache and tears have left me jaded. I waited the whole pregnancy for something to happen, the...

It's been a while so I thought I'd update real quick.I am 34 weeks tomorrow.I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes at about 31 weeks. After a bit of a freak out, I met with a dietitian who helped...

Today I am 22w2d. We had our anatomy scan this morning. I was having weird dreams about it all night. Of course, in the way of dreams, I don't remember many details now. Except that at one point they...

I am 18 weeks 2 days pregnant. I never thought I'd make it this far, but here I am. I'm finally getting to the point that when I feel weird twinges or cramps, I don't immediately panic and think...

Here I am, nearing the end of yet another 2ww and feeling the anxiety grow each day. There are so many what-if's and unknowns and endless waiting. I find myself obsessing over the numbers and...

We did our first cycle of Femara this month. I was on 5 mg/day. Got a positive OPK on Thursday, so ovulated either Thursday or Friday. For about 4 days prior to ovulating, my left ovary was...

I've always done the OPK's with 2 lines but have found them so frustrating the last several months that last Friday I decided to buy some digital ones. Loving them, so far. So much easier on my...

It's been a rough week or so.I started seeing a grief counselor on Tuesday. I went into her office and cried for a solid hour. I was so exhausted when I got home. But I think it helped. She had me...

Lately I've been quite seriously contemplating throwing in the towel on this whole baby thing. I'm afraid that sounds flippant, but I'm sure you know it is not. It is heart wrenching and I'm sure if...
