Nobody tells you about the logistics of infertility treatment. The clinic covers the medical protocol, but they don't tell you about the daily reality of living through it..

After 2 years as "Infertile with Children," I'm changing the name. Not because I'm walking away from that story - it's still mine, it's still true, it's still the foundation of everything I do here. But because the space I want to create has grown bigger than that name can hold.

Someone asked me the other day if being an IVF parent feels different from being a "regular" parent. I paused- because after years of treatment, I'd almost forgotten that most people don't wonder if their happiness has an expiration date.

This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for science.

I know that’s not usually how these posts start. Typically, people lead with family, health, home. I’m grateful for those things, too. But, this year, I keep coming back to this: I’m grateful for IVF.

I thought I was pretty decent at crochet. I'd made scarves, dishcloths, even a few small blankets. So when I decided to try amigurumi - those adorable little crocheted animals - I figured it would be straightforward enough. Just stitches organized a different way, right?

Embarking on a journey often means navigating unexpected twists and turns, and mine began with a job relocation in 2016 that led me down a path I never anticipated. The path to being a parent.

Hi friend,

I’m happy you’ve found my little corner of the internet where we can connect about life after IVF, whether that is sharing parenting struggles, silly kid stories, hobbies, or life hacks that make things run smoother. I’ll be here to cheer you on, learn more about you, and share lots about my life after IVF.
