I am in the process of adding an InFertility 101 page to my website! This post is my first resource!

When you are new to the world of infertility, especially discussion boards and blogs, this language of abbreviations can be confusing!

Here is a cheat sheet! (Don’t worry I was clueless at first too, LOL [...]

Happy New Year!

As a year closes and we welcome in a new year, I like to re-evaluate my goals, dreams, and resolutions…

I like to look at this quote calendar I have on my fridge every morning. The last quote from December 2012 really resonates with me; here it is:

Wow this post couldn’t come at a better time! I am still new to this whole motherhood thing. I was so excited about the idea of being a mom, while at the same time scared shitless. Now that I am a mom of a toddler, I feel like I have a [...]

Shots, shots, shots, and I don’t mean tequila ;)

A Day in the Life of Fertility Treatment

Katie — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 21:41:38 +0000

Everyday started to feel like that movie Groundhog Day, the same thing over and over. At 6am the alarm would go off, I would get ready, and head to my RE’s office to get bloodwork or an ultrasound or BOTH, and then wait for the results. Around 3pm, I would get a call from my [...]

This article sparked me to change my career path, it was a powerful article and I wanted to share it:
