I think this is one of the few times in my life I have been this happy for AF's arrival. She showed up today, which means we are officially on Cycle #1 of TTC! Now time for some Advil.
My blog definitely contains a bit "TMI" (Too Much Information) at times. But I really wanted to be very open about my journey, and I am a very open person. (And yes, people do sometimes say “Thanks for Sharing” to me in real life :) If you don’t want to read about "womanly" issues, you probably doesn't want to venture any further into my blog! ;)
I am 39 years old with cystic fibrosis. For the CFers who may be interested, my FEV1 is 115%, my genotype is dF508/R117H, and I am pancreatic sufficient. The primary way CF impacts me is chronic sinusitis and repeated bronchitis and mild pneumonia. My sputum cultures show pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA). I have only been hospitalized twice. I have been on Kalydeco since February 2015.
My husband, Greg, and I have two daughters: Lily, age 5, and Grace age 3.
I started this blog to share our journey towards conceiving our first child, and to share the information we learned along the way in case it may help other women with CF. During our struggle with infertility, this blog was a wonderful way for me to connect with other women who were dealing with similar struggles.
I now write this blog to share my life as a mom with CF! It has been an amazing journey!
