I think I have finally reached the point where I am OK being childless and giving up. I just can’t deal with the emotional burden, the medication, the procedures, the timed intercourse, and that is OK. There is so much more to life than sadness.

My subscription boxes for skin care and make up always brighten my day 🤗

For the rest of my life I don’t think I’ll EVER understand why anyone has to go through infertility. I’ll NEVER understand why this has to be part of my story.

What do people do for period cramps I have no idea what I’m supposed to do and I feel like I’m dying.

Just had my first natural period in 5 years. I’ve always need provera or bc to regulate. Fingers crossed this trend continues! 😭❤️

The more I read the more I learn how hard it is to adopt internationally when you are on antidepressants. We were hoping to do international adoption but it looks like domestic might be an easier route. Shouldn’t getting help be a sign of maturity and a positive thing? 🙄

I’ve lost 8 lbs this month, I know it’s not much, but I was hoping my period might return. It hasn’t. Despite getting some really fertile CM on cd12😔 #HelloPeriodWhereAreYou

I’m only a little sad and I’m more excited to know all of this is going to be over. We both have always wanted to adopt but hoped we would at least have one of our own. If it’s not in the cards for us, then it’s not in the cards 😔

Last night we had “the talk” about adoption. We are giving this IUI stuff only a few more tries before we move to adoption. March will be our last month of fertility treatments ❤️

I had a creative break today and I have never been so inspired to write. Not only did I write another chapter of my book, I also wrote 3 really good poems and one really good slam poem. I am feeling so good right now 🥰

This being forced to take a break from trying because of my sisters wedding festivities is really annoying. I’m so tired of waiting and I’m so frustrated that things outside my control are holding me back.

What does everyone do when you need time off from your job for fertility treatments? Do you use FMLA? Are your jobs really lenient? Does anyone work? I am having a hard time with my manager.

I officially think I’m losing it. Somewhere I heard orange is the color of fertility so I just immersed myself in Pinterest and created a board of ALL orange. People definitely think I’m going nuts.
