I Fought For You

Look! It didn't take me a year for this update! I discuss my experience with breastfeeding, feeling like a failure, and that you should do what's best for your mental health. 

I joked that this was my annual update, but I realized it's been nearly two years.  I discuss my experience after giving birth to my daughter.  Trigger warning - this episode discusses living children.  

TRIGGER WARNING - This episode describes a live pregnancy and graphic details of blood clots.

The second step in the IVF process - embryo transfer, and how COVID-19 affected our journey.

Well, it's been a LONNNNNNGGGGGG six months since I've provided any sort of update.  This episode details what has happened in those six months.  

In this episode, I explain my long absence, and the current status of our journey in trying to conceive, including discussing IUI.

During this episode, I interview my cousin, Misti, who is a 22-year leukemia survivor.  Misti was told she would never have kids, but she now has a health 13-year old son.  We also discuss Misti's miscarriage prior to getting pregnant with her son.

I encourage everyone to visit http://join.bethematch.org/survivor to find out more about becoming a bone marrow donor.

In this episode, my sister-in-law and I discuss complications in pregnancy.  Specifically, we discuss preeclampsia and premature babies.  We also discuss being a working mother versus being a stay-at-home mother.  

A short episode discussing Mother's Day after loss.

In this episode, I discuss my experiences at a fertility doctor (what they tested, and what we found out), my experiences with suction D&Cs, and things that people say that are hurtful, even though they mean well.
