Introduction	My husband and I have been trying to create our family going on more than 4 years now, but I have a condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS), a VERY common female infertility problem that can be tackled a number of ways. We tried many of those ways. In 2011 we broke down and started seeing a fertility specialist. I also underwent regular acupuncture treatment and met with a naturopathic doctor to overhaul my diet in relation to my condition. After completing a round of treatment involving daily hormone injections and artificial insemination, I got pregnant. But it was not meant to be. The embryo stopped developing at 5 ½ weeks, and I miscarried. Today, we are searching for our child through adoption. We began this process in the summer of 2013. We are in love with adoption, but we are also struggling. This blog is my therapy. It is extremely personal and could be too much information in some cases for some (you are forewarned), but it is my outlet. And it is also my hope that if there is someone else out there going through something similar, it can be a reminder that you are not alone no matter how isolated you feel. Believe me, I’ve been there.
