So this is my first post. Bear with me.

Every month that goes by I think, “this will be over soon.” But here we are over a year later. Two miscarriages and several fertility clinic appointments later.

I need a space to write down and share my thoughts as my husband and I continue to trudge through life while grieving the loss of two pregnancies and struggling to get pregnant again. We are surrounded by friends and family who try their best to be supportive and empathetic. We are also surrounded by friends who have, and continue to, experience loss and infertility.

Unfortunately, no matter who is in your support system, and no matter how many others you know who have experienced similar things, infertility and pregnancy loss really are some of the loneliest things to live through.

I started this blog because I need a space to unload some of these feelings. In the process, I hope others struggling may stumble across this blog and feel less lonely and more seen.

So if you’re reading this, thank you for being here, and I’m sorry you’re here. I know we’re here for the same reason though — for the hope of it all.
