Ovaries on Strike: Here and Happy

Here and Happy

How could I be anything else?

My children - CHILDREN! - are healthy and beautiful and loving the world. We all came home from the hospital on time. Breastfeeding has been going smoothly, with only a little hiccup at first for my son. And Ezra is just over-the-moon in love with our babies.

I would write more - and I will, soon (relatively speaking) - but at the moment I have a snuggly little boy curled up on my chest and it's making typing a little difficult. Thank you all for your congratulations and well wishes on persephone's post (and thank you seph for posting!). May you all be blessed with the fulfillment of your wishes, and soon.

Enjoy them!

Baruch haba, little ones!

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.
