Ovaries on Strike: joy

joy

Dear God,

Yesterday when my good friend told me she's pregnant, I was immediately (and without second thought) overjoyed for them. I broke out into a grin and gave her a hug. Please, please, please let me never lose that immediate reaction of happiness for another person's good news.

With love,
- R.B.

PS: Thank you for the little temp rise today. Perhaps tomorrow and Tuesday can stay up and this will be the real thing? You know how I hate drugs.

Speak up!

Just another Orthodox Jewish woman entering the world of infertility blogs. The name of the game is PCOS, but I've been told the rules may change at any time. Now - pregnant with twins.

I blog anonymously for a reason. You may think you know who I am, and you may very well be correct. However, I don't want to know about it. This blog is my "safe space" and I want to speak my mind here without accountability to friends and relatives. If that means that I end up insulting you on these pages, I'm sorry. Take comfort in the idea that you may be wrong about my identity after all. And, no, obviously "Ezra" is not my husband's real name.

Confident about my identity? Then let me make it clear: If you know me in person, if you would recognize me walking down the street, if you could name either of my children or either of my parents - if any of those apply to you - please stop reading.

Our journey is only one of many that Jewish couples may face in the course of infertility treatments. Our decisions may not be appropriate for your situation, and under no circumstances should you assume that our answers apply to your own questions. If halacha (Jewish law) is a concern for you on this journey, please consult a competent rabbi or yoetzet of your own choosing.
