Fitting In(fertile)

I’m S.I.F. – The Single Infertile Female. That’s right, I’m the girl who got hit with the double whammy; Broken lady parts, and no man to pick up the pieces.

Life is funny.

At 25 I moved from San Diego to Alaska with the plan of finding a man, settling down and making a house full of babies. Less than a year later I was told that I had a debilitating case of endometriosis. I was forced to face the reality that I may never be a mother in the way I’d always pictured. Getting pregnant naturally was suddenly impossible, and the dreaded “now or never” gauntlet was thrown.

I chose now and embarked upon the journey of beating infertility and becoming a single mother. Sadly, the road hasn’t been easy. and I already have one failed IVF cycle under my belt. Every step of the way has been documented at my personal blog (Single Infertile Female), where I try to mix humor into a struggle that is difficult for us all.

Around here, you can expect to find my take on this infertile world as a newbie who is still figuring it all out; taking everything one day at a time, and learning as I go.
Still believing that somewhere, beneath all the heartbreak, there must be a purpose.
