First and foremost, I need to say a huge HELLO! to all of you. I realize I've been MIA here at The Infertility Voice website as of late and when I got a comment on an old post today wondering where I'd went, I knew it was time to come back to this space. So firstly, me, Larry and … Read More »
Healing

Behind and Beyond: Reflections on the Brink of a New Year
I love New Year's Eve. It's such a precarious, if invented demarcation between the old and the new, the past and the future, a sliver of the present in transition. For many, it's the tabula rasa, the turn of the wheel, a moment of both ending and beginning. How fitting that … Read More »
MIA (Again) Thanks to My Thyroid (Again)
For the record: hypothyroidism BLOWS. A ranty thyroid post ahead. And of course, my half-Japanese* self gets the fancy Hashimoto's variation, where my body slowly eats away at my thyroid, leaving an endocrinological nightmare in its wake. *Being half-Japanese has nothing to … Read More »
My Evolving Identity of Infertility
Growing up as a biracial half-Japanese, half-Caucasian girl with a Japanese first and last name and a "white" middle name, I have long struggled with the concept of identity. I was never Asian enough. I was never white enough. For a long time, I felt these two halves of … Read More »
Eat, Drink and Be Merry – Or Don’t: An Infertility Holiday Survival Guide
In case you missed it, the rush for the end of year holidays has begun. I find, that for the life of the infertile, that dash begins right around Hallowe'en, although Back to School season has begun creeping in on this territory, too. From Hallowe'en it's practically light warp … Read More »
Thankful, Grateful, Abundant.
I am thankful for my infertility. I'll let that sink in for a moment. It's true: I am both grateful and thankful for my infertility. Not exactly something you'd expect to hear just two days before Thanksgiving, but there it is. For all the pain, the mental and physical … Read More »
I’m Reading: My Life Map
A few weeks ago, I received a copy of Kate and David Marshall's highly engaging and interactive workbook, My Life Map: A Journal to Help You Shape Your Future. I've had some time to read and review it and I have to say, as the days grow darker much earlier, with this strange … Read More »
Guilty Nausea
You know you've hit a new low when you're blogging on your phone from the floor of your bathroom, curled up in a fetal position, head resting on a pile of (dirty?) towels: So, I was really hoping to avoid any "let's bitch about pregnancy symptoms" posts but, that's going … Read More »
Basketcase
Yeah, that would be me right now. My thyroid is a shitshow right now. Just got my TSH panel back from yesterday's bloodwork and it's officially the lowest it's ever been: 0.09. Even though we like my TSH to be low, that's not necessarily a good thing. In fact, it's way too … Read More »
Tourism, Citizenship and Transitioning from the Land of IF
Today, I have a guest post over at PAIL (Pregnancy/Parenting Through Adoption, Infertility & Loss) Bloggers. I'm tackling a topic I've been mulling over since the day I found out I was pregnant, one that I tried to get at a little bit in the "To Mom or Not to Mom" Salon hosted … Read More »
