I started feeling depressed in January, but after my third early miscarriage in March, I was suddenly off fertility meds after taking a lot of them in the last 3 out of 4 months.

Hope and Disappointment
Well, here we are again: the beginning of an IUI cycle. Part of me feels like I have a lot riding on this cycle. (More below.) The second part is just stressed because I have to be out of the classroom for a day or so to deal with this. (Teacher problems...) The other part … Continue reading Hope and Disappointment
2018!
Happy New Year!!! 2017 is behind us, and for me, 2017 was one of the weirdest and interesting years. I got diagnosed with PCOS a week into January. In May and June, my mother has some life-threatening health issues (thankfully, she is doing better.) I had another chemical pregnancy in August. My 1st IUI failed. … Continue reading 2018!
