Ovaries on Strike: Fake Out.

Friday, February 05, 2010

Fake Out.

Negative. Negative all around. Elevated risk of ovarian cancer (5-7% lifetime) based on family history, but nothing like the mutation-level risks.

I guess this blog is defunct again. Oh well.

And hey Robbie, maybe you'll find a *happy* reason to come back here...

Although, you have 3-year-olds, so the stress will come back in spades in another form. So I've been told ;)

Although, yeah - what 'Seph said.

The whole process must have been so harrowing for you.

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.
