The deeper I've fallen into my own fertility issues, the more I've felt a need to reach out and share what I've gone through. I still have a hard time finding where I fit in, even though there are more and more voices on the subject.

My fertility issue, apparently, is secondary infertility caused by c-section complications. I'm hoping to find more support regarding this particular problem, though for the most part, I've found that we are all dealing with the same BS regardless of the exact cause. Insurance issues, IUIs, IVF, monitoring, balancing work/life/infertility, nosy friends and family, and of course: BFNs.

I am incredibly lucky to have one child, I know, but I’ve spent much of the past 4 years experiencing infertility in a very raw way. Nothing learned has come easy and I plan to share all of my struggles with you. (So you can expect detailed specifics in my posts, from the intimate details of ERA and HSG tests to the emotional hell of salpingectomies and ectopic pregnancies -- all the greatest hits!)

I also find that, for me, humor is just as important as aspirational quotes and all the heart emojis we can bear. Deep down, I'm a softy, but sometimes dark humor and sarcasm are all that get me through the day.

I hope that my transparency will support you somehow, whether it’s with an emotional lift or with some kernel of experience that might help you in your fight.
