Pregnancy Challenged

The Baby Room Minus the Baby

Written by Infertile Naomi Friday, 25 September 2009 14:51

I am sitting on my comfy couch in the comforts of my own home. Photos of deceased grandparents hang on the wall and the dust on my side table reminds me that I really need to clean. By all accounts, I am not sitting in my office, but a room that was originally designed to be my baby’s room. The crib and rocking chair have been replaced by books about infertility and a prescription for fertility medications.

The Mile High Club

Written by Infertile Naomi Tuesday, 22 September 2009 08:57

I am on an airplane right now and writing about infertility.

I’m sure the man sitting next to me is enjoying reading about my cervical mucus and learning about my husband’s low (but strong) sperm count. A four hour flight gives anyone a lot of time to reflect on infertility and the long journey towards motherhood. The cabin lights dim, beverages are served and my mind begins to drift.

I Am Baby Obsessed

Written by Infertile Naomi Wednesday, 16 September 2009 09:23

My husband tells me I’m too obsessed with becoming pregnant. I’ll admit it. I do think about having a baby on a daily basis, I visit fertility sites regularly, I gawk at pregnant women and spend a lot of time blogging about my infertility adventures.

A Failed IUI

Written by Infertile Naomi Wednesday, 09 September 2009 08:16

We failed our first fertility treatment.

I really hate to be a failure at anything, and like to succeed in most aspects of my life. So when we found out that our first IUI was a complete failure, it was a little hard to take. It’s much worse than failing a course subject in school. In school, there is room for improvement or your teacher might give you a better grade. In the infertility world, a failure is simply just a complete and utter failure.

The Infertile Game

Written by Infertile Naomi Wednesday, 02 September 2009 07:54

I used to be plagued by a horrible case of the ‘what ifs’? What if I never get pregnant? What if I’m still not pregnant by next year? What if the fertility procedure doesn’t work? What if I never have children? It’s a terrible game, yet we all seem to play it over and over again in our heads.

About Infertile Naomi

I am a 30-something who is married to a wonderful guy, has a great family, a beautiful home and fantastic friends. We started our TTC journey over two years ago, where I went from being extremely excited about my future baby to wondering if I would be barren for life and living with cats. Since then, we have enjoyed many fertility appointments, uncomfortable procedures, experimental medications and two surgeries—but still no baby. I choose to laugh through our struggles, rather than cry every time Aunt Flow appears. You can also follow me as I attempt to find 999 reasons why infertility is humorous, 999reasonstolaughatinfertility.blogspot.com. Wish me luck!
