- About Me:
- In August 2004, I created a username full of hope and optismism of what I wanted my life to be: Twonycmoms. 7 home inseminations with two known donors, 1 Natural IUI, 2 Clomid IUIs, 1 Injectable IUI, 1 agonist IVF cycle, 1 antagonist IVF cycle with ICSI and AH; we have no insurance, no savings and a diagnosis of Diminished Ovarian Reserve (a.k.a., Premature Ovarian Failure, Prematurely Aging Ovaries, or Kiss those biological baby dreams goodbye!) As I spiraled into despair, I remember one commenter giving me encouragement about “rising like the phoenix”. The phoenix is a mythological creature associated with the astrological sign of Scorpio. I am a Scorpio.it didn’t take me long to create a new identity: NycphoenixI chose that name to describe my life at the moment, striving and reaching for a new life, a way to heal from the pain of the past three years and to find a place of serenity and peace again. I was a lot of things once before infertility took over. Now I’m rediscovering who I used to be: queer, Christian, Latina, Scorpio, activist, reader, wife, sister, friend, daughter and person in recovery.
We still don’t know what the next step is but we know as we reach up and out we have God and our Love as our strength and salvation.
