Endometriosis, Infertility, Miscarriage and Life in general
I am 35 years old, living with stage IV Endometriosis, possibly adenomyosis and struggled with infertility for almost 4 years. I also struggled with PPD and now struggle with PMDD. I am a mother to a son that was born at 18 weeks and too precious for this earth; and now a mother to a son born in August 2011. By journaling here, I hope to benefit both for myself and for others that are dealing with this disease and fertility struggles. Thanks for visiting!

Privacy Rights for Infertility Patients
There are some bills out there trying to be passed in MI that may very well have some unfortunate implications for those of us who suffer fertility nationwide. Please read this from Jeanne's blog for more on the topic.
Thank you for stopping by my blog! Thank you for your sentiments. I am sorry to welcome you this way - I never like knowing that other women are in the same category as me. Wyatt is precious and I hear the love in the way you write. Stop by anytime :-). I had my Dr.'s do every test imaginable! I pray that all goes well with the coming appointments!
