I've had my account for a couple of years now but mostly just posted pictures of my dogs or crafts I had made. It was only around the time of my 3rd IUI (January 2014) where I started to post pictures of my journey. Each day I had to take my Menopur injection I would try and come up with an original way to photograph the process, it helped to make that part of the journey easier and that way I could also document what each injection day looked like so it was fun. I would hashtag things like #infertility #pcos #ttc #menopur #injections #infertilitysucks #babydust #hopethisworks #icandothis and so on. To my surprise it opened up a whole new community and suddenly instagram became really important to me threw the iui process. Women on there from all over the world are so supportive of one and other, saying sweet comments to cheer each other up after a failed cycle, cheering each other on to be brave to inject ourselves, encouraging each other to never give up and to keep hope. I can honestly say that it really opened up my eyes and heart. I'm so grateful and happy that I've found a great community of strangers who all have different but similar journeys all with the same end goal.. "a family".

I'm back! (To blogging that is)

I'm going to make a update post real soon!!! Work and life have been a little crazy around here... I keep meaning to sit down and write a great "life update" post but never get around to it. Soon I promise because getting back on track with my infertility blog is my new goal so I can keep it as a keepsake and look back and see what this journey was all about. The good, the bad and all the Inbetween that makes this journey a hell of a rollercoaster ride! So stay tune :)

Miss you like crazy bff

I made this card for my best friend who's pregnant with her second baby boy. We live a couple provinces away from each other now so I miss her like crazy and wish I could be more present in her life right now. Distance and time difference between us makes it so hard to keep in touch often so I wanted to send her a little something special to remind her I'm always here no matter what and that I miss her so much!! Below is a little sneak peak picture of the card I made. If you check out my craft blog at pumpkinspice-life.blogspot.com you can find a TON more pregnancy and ttc cards I've made. I've had babies on the mind a lot lately with everyone around me being pregnant and all so I guess i could say I've been inspired to pump out a bunch of pregnancy cards so go check it out and feel free to leave a comment!! I always enjoy knowing what people think about my crafts :) 

Pregnancy card for a fellow ttcsister

Little sneak peak at a card I made for a fellow TTC who just got her BFP couple weeks ago. I had signed up for a TTCExchange and was paired up with a lady who got her BFP couple days after signing up under "trying to conceive" category. So we did a exchange infertile and trying vs newly pregnant. :P I'll talk more about the exchange soon in a new post. :)
