Thine Eyes Doth Not Deceive You

Yes, there was another post here today. Yes, I have taken it down. Yes, those of you who commented, I have read your comments, and I do appreciate them.

If I can figure out how to rework that earlier post, I may put it back up later this weekend. Either way, this one will probably come down again Saturday night.

And makes me sensitive to the fact that my husband is in your shoes. I hope you find a way to rework it so you can be comfortable putting it back up.

And my apologies to those who didn't see the post and are scratching their heads. I just had to comment on it, even though it's gone.

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.
