This week starts National Infertility Awareness week. Resolve.org asking us to help bust a myth.
Infertility is a disease. Just like heart disease or lung disease.
It has a group of medical codes all it's own. I've taken this list from a fellow blogger, A little Blog about Big Infertility! She had several of the same as me.
634) Spontaneous abortion (i/e miscarriage)
(640.0) Threatened abortion
(646.3) Habitual aborter
(649.5) Spotting complicating pregnancy
773.0- Rh- (Rh factor incompatibility
628.9- Infertility female of unspecified origin
256.6- PCOS
(256) Ovarian dysfunction
I also need to add endometriosis, as well as MTHFR.
It's a list that defines me, and my inability to have a child.
I'm adopted, he's in the Air Force, and all we really want is family. After 8 miscarriages, and one failed adoption, this blog is a journal through infertility, adoption, and now parenthood, now that Isaac has filled our baby carriage, and it's about to be filled again with a surprise, successful (so far) pregnancy! It's sometimes blunt, sometimes improper, but always real. This is our story.
Hope you had a great Easter. Also, I wanted to let you know I nominated you for the Stylish Blogger award! :)
