NYEBoy. He is my sometimes better, often times smarter other half. He compliments me well. We’ve been living in FL since 2008 and we’ll likely be here until 2014. You'll never see his face on this blog for his privacy, but he really does exist!
Infertility. I have PCOS and a clinical diagnosis of a chromosome imbalance. We’ll be doing genetic testing before we start fertility treatments in 2014. I’m currently taking Metf0rmin and eating a low amylose diet. In September 2011, I had a miscarriage before we even knew we were pregnant. It’s a total mindfuck. No other way around it. This year will mark 8 years of my TTC journey. The only thing that gets me through the grief is knowing we’ll be beginning treatments in two years.
College. I am a full time college student double majoring in math and education. College is my DD plan. Death or divorce. I don’t plan on working after I graduated unless I have to, but very thankful for this chance.
K. She is my sister. I took my sister to court for custody of my niece in August 2010. We were granted emergency temporary custody of my niece for six months. In FL, judges are changed every two years, our final court hearing was in Feb with a new judge. The judge gave K custody back. K is pregnant again. I have lots to say but I can not do so due to ongoing issues related to A’s well being.
A. She’s one of the best things to ever happen to me. I love her more than words can express. My only desire is for her to be happy, healthy, and properly cared for. I will fight for her until she’s old enough to fight for herself. This is my promise, baby girl. I love you to the moon and back, always and forever, until my last breath.
Me. Who am I? Sometimes I wonder who I am. I am trying to learn to love the life I have instead of being upset that I don’t have the life I planned. I am funny, slightly smart, short, kind, and compassionate. I love to paint, craft, and spend NYEBoy’s money. I am blessed in life, minus the custody case and infertility. Oh, and I love blogging, tweeting, and cussing.
Any other questions? Drop me a line.
I'm also listed on the About.com:Fertility list.

I just found your blog. It sounds like we have a lot in common - I'm also trying to get pregnant, have a doctoral student for a partner, and a crazy family that I live away from. PCOS, Metformin, etc. are also part of my world. I can't wait to explore the rest of your blog - thanks for sharing this, and good luck!! :)
New reader here! Your blog is great. I look forward to following you on your journey. Thanks for writing!
I am looking forward to reading more about you and your time dealing with IF. I am sorry that you have PCOS and hope that you soon will get your dream of a baby. It think it is absolutely amazing that you took your sister and her child in to live with you. What a wonderful way to help.
Just ran across your blog as well.... We also have a lot in common - Me and my hubby are TTC and not having any luck!
I just found your blog - same old story you have probably heard before :)
I too have PCOS and have started my blog to vent all the frustrations that build up when going through infertility. I look forward to sharing more.
Hi there!!! Another new follower here! :) haven't read too much (yet) but I'm also waiting for our miracle...we've been trying for 2 years and will be starting IVF in the summer - after I lose 28 more pounds...
Looking forward to following your blog!
Thank you so much for your blog! I know that its not easy trying to conceive in a world full of "fertile myrtles" and its so nice to hear that you're not alone. My sister and I just started our own blog about the same issue =]
Sincerely,
Sister H and Sister K

Hi from ICLW thank you for sharing you journey so far.
DD plan. I LOVE IT! College is m DD plan also. Now I just have to find my Earthly prince. HAHAHA
Just found your blog and I love it. We don't have the same diagnosis (I am POF) but the challenge of TTC and learning to deal with infertility is the struggle we have in common. I started my blog just today after reading yours and another blogger. I hope it helps keep my emotions in check! Who knows lol. Keep posting, and I'll keep on reading. Best of luck.
