About

I never thought that I would be where I am today, writing about my infertility struggles and the journey to have a baby. Well, miracle baby, as I say. Because it will be a miracle to me. My name is Jana and I am 28 years old. I live in sunny California with my husband and our 2 babies, I mean black labs. I am a California girl and proud of it. My husband and I have been together for 9 years, married for 3. Family means everything to me and I am so lucky God gave me the family he did. My sister’s and my husband are my best friends. I am a homebody. I would rather be at home with my hubby and my dogs than anywhere else. Food is my favorite, but I am extremely picky. I am a animal lover, but mainly dog lover. I want to have a ranch big enough that I can rescue dogs and let them roam and play and be loved. There is so much of the world I want to see. I wish I could win the lottery and then have lots of babies and travel the world with my family. That would be the dream.

 Okay, let’s get to the reason why I am here. I was diagnosed with Diminished Ovarian Reserve. Which basically means that my ovaries are that of a 37 year old, and that I do not have the supply of eggs that I should at my age. Apparently, the not so ideal age of 17-18 to get pregnant would have been the ideal age for me. Crazy. My husband has excellent sperm motility and count. So…the problem is me. And that is a lot to carry on your shoulders. I started this blog so I can look back on my journey, and so that it can be a coping mechanism for me, an outlet where at the end of the day I can let go of what I feel. I also decided to blog about it so if other woman struggling with infertility stumble upon it, they can be reminded that they are not alone. Infertility can be soo isolating. You may have the biggest outpouring of support, but there is no way to describe the connection with another woman who has known your pain and stood where you stand. I hope that out of this part of my life, I can find friendships with others in the infertility world, and that I can make a positive impression on them like others have made on me. I was and in ways still am that infertile woman embarrassed that her body can not do what it is designed to do. But slowly, I am breaking out of my shell and finding myself in this.  This is my life and my story.
