| Introduction | I am 39 and blessed with a pretty blissful married life, except the part about having a crappy uterus and being barren. I've been living with painful endometriosis since my mid-20s and spent the first 6 years of our marriage idiotically trying NOT to get pregnant, only to realize through the next 4 years that we couldn't anyway. Now into our 5th year of TTC, I've recently been further diagnosed with adenomyosis, fibroids and hormonal imbalance as well. To add to this mix, hubs also has crappy sperm with low motility, morphology and sperm count. With mainstream western medicine offering us little hope, hubs and I are currently pursuing Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to help us conceive despite our horrible odds. I feel optimistic as I have experienced positive changes and have managed to get pregnant once with TCM. Even though it ended in a painful miscarriage, I'm hanging on to the fact that something in my body is still working and a baby is still a possibility in our lives. Meanwhile, I am a fur mommy to our cat Zoey, who provides much needed comic relief in between. This blog will chronicle our ups and downs and progress, or not, while trying to remain zen through it all... |
