Hello everyone!! I started this blog as a way to support other women who are going through or have gone through infertility issues. I thought we could start off by telling our stories and giving a little bit of history so we all start out knowing a little more about each other.

Here's my story:

I have 2 beautiful sons that are my world. My problem is more an indirect fertility issue. I can get pregnant but once I'm pregnant the drama begins. The moment I become pregnant a sever form of hyperemesis gravidarum which is basically violent morning sickness to the point that I'm hospitalized and losing weight rapidly begins.

6 PICC lines, countless hospital stays, 2 times septic, 1 stroke scare, 3 failed epidurals & 2 failed spinals which led to 1 spinal migraine, 8 days radioactive and in ICU unable to hold my newborn, 6 months of bed rest,18 month post-baby recovery, 75 gained pounds later I've come to terms with the fact that my body's not meant to have children. That doesn't mean I can't be a mother again.

It's taken me 3 years to come to terms with this and I'm actually having my tubes tied in the next few weeks to make it official. It's the hardest thing I've ever dealt with. Everyone in my life is supportive but they really don't understand. It's not that I'm not grateful for the children I do have in my life but it was a mourning process for the children I can never "have" and the nice happy pregnancy I'll never experience. There are still days when I see some happy pregnant lady at the store or a newborn at church that I get that pain in my heart. I don't think it'll ever go away but having friends like you can help me notice it less and less!!
