July ICLW

Welcome to "Not The Path I Chose"!


Here's a little background, if this is your first time stopping by...

I'm Photogrl. M. is my husband, and we have a five year old, Miss O. We've been struggling to conceive #2 since September 2005. Along this path, I've been pregnant 5 times, but all have ended in some sort of loss, including an ectopic pregnancy that ruptured my left tube.


We're currently gearing up for "Operation: Give Miss O. A Sibling"!

I'm currently waiting on Aunt Flo, and will be starting my first IVF cycle sometime in August. We are very excited, scared, and a little overwhelmed. I've been working on losing some weight and preparing my body for this cycle since our last loss in April. So far, I've lost 16 pounds and try to work out at least 3 times a week.


So, pull up a chair, make yourself comfortable, and take a look around.

    Congrats on the weight loss; I'm trying to lose a few pounds too, but I find that working out is as much about staying sane as it is about losing weight!

    Do you know it has been a year since I started following your story.

    I do hope that "Operation: Give Miss O. A Sibling" is a success. Yeah on the working out! You rock girl.

    HUGS IF sister. Thanks for the comment yesterday on my blog yesterday.
