How Long Have You Been Blogging

I'm new to blogging. Doing so to learn more about TTC over 35 with genetic problems, IVF, etc.

Where Are You on Your Trying to Conceive Journey

We've been TTC for 1.5 years, receiving fertility treatment for 1 year.

Why Did You Start Your Blog?

To learn more about TTC over 35 with genetic problems, IVF, etc. and to receive support during this difficult time. I also hope by sharing my story I may help others struggling with similar issues.

Tell Us More About Your Blog

I write about our struggles with TTC over 35, IVF, and our discovery that my husband and I are both cystic fibrosis carriers and how this will affect our fertility treatment. I think our story is unique in that we are not only struggling with infertility but about the tough decisions to make when learning that there are genetic issues that can affect not only fertility but the decision to have a baby. It is my hope that sharing our experiences will elicit advice and support from others as well as provide a place where others can find support and information.

Advice

  • I'm new to blogging so will update this once I know more and can advise others.
