When I originally sat down to create and maintain a blog, my intentions were to simply share our life with our family and friends. It was easy. Being in the Army meant moving often and eventually farther and farther away from "home." No big deal, just little updates. That didn't last long.

When I was diagnosed with my fertility issues, everything in my life changed for better or worse, including the blog. I still of course want to share everything the Army and life throws at us, but I cannot keep from focus on what is most important in my life.

I watched part of a documentary on Netflix today called "This Emotional Life." Not my normal choice of lunchtime entertainment, but it was interesting, even fascinating at moments. At one point a psychologist discussed conflict as something that is good and important to our relationships. Mmm....so we shouldn't wish for world peace???

The more I think about it, I believe this man was correct on so many levels. If there were no conflicts, if we didn't have different perspectives, what would this world look like? Yes, war is tragic and for the sake of all mankind should try to be avoided, but on an individual level our differences are beautiful. Without our differences, there would be no conflict. We would all see eye to eye, we would agree on every level. Our lives would mirror each other. It would be boring and what need for  interacting would we have?

Instead, we are different. Because we are different, we can read each others blogs and learn from each others experiences. That is what I want. I want to learn as much as I can about my fertility problems, concerns, and options and share that information with women who need it. So I will not apologize for the realness and truth that I share, but be forewarned it may not always be pleasant. My posts are categorized by topic at the top of the blog. Read what you want. For those that are reading to learn, I hope I can share enough to help.
