Pregnancy | After the Alter

Don't Forget to Enter!

This is a public service announcement for anyone and everyone that comes across a woman who is TTC. I figure it is my duty to publicly make this announcement, since when conversations on this topic arise in the real world, women are forced to just smile and bare it when someone tries to [...]

Babies OFF the Brain

Well…another month down the drain…no July baby for us. As I sat and wallowed in self pity for a little while, a little light bulb went off in my head. This past month we tried almost everything we could to time it right…I took control of almost everything I could….counted days, used OPK’s, drank grapefruit [...]

Continuing the Journey

This past summer I chose to share about my miscarriage and Our Loss. It was a horrible time in my life, and although I am moving on, there are some things that just remind me of the loss. For example this month I would’ve been in my 5th month of pregnancy. The fifth month is such an [...]

Our Loss: What I Have Learned

I was talking to my friend the other day and she said something very profound. She is a religious person, and we were talking about having the belief that everything happens for a reason, and how at this point I am not sure of the reason why my husband and I had to suffer like [...]

Back To Life…Back To Reality

As many of you can imagine I have had alot on my mind. I haven’t felt like myself, and I feel like my life has taken a backseat to all the emotions I have been feeling. My week vacation at the Jersey shore was exactly what I needed. I had my family (minus my husband [...]

Our Loss…It’s Over…

As you’ve read in my previous post about the loss of our pregnancy, things have been pretty sad in our household this past week. I figured since I started you on this journey with us in that post, I should continue and let you know how we are doing from time to time, and what [...]

Our Loss

There is a club out there that both women and men are part of…a club that once you are a member you wish you weren’t….a club who’s members have experienced a miscarriage. Growing up you are always taught how not to have a baby. No one ever tells you that once you are grown up [...]
