New to Blogging

Hello Everyone!!! Well, I am new to the blogging world..... ummmm, not entirely. I have been following blogs from numerous people in order to get answers after I was diagnosed three years ago with Balanced Translocation :( I have done tons of reading, followed several discussion boards but I have never actually wrote anything. Lately, I have been thinking about writing about my experience. I wanted to write a book but then I thought that starting a blog and being able to share thoughts might be a great way to share what I have been going through with other people. Well, after 5 miscarriages...... here we are........ still with an empty womb..... An Empty French Womb!
Although the road to motherhood has been pretty rough so far, I stay positive and have a pretty good spirit!

Thanks Lil' Frenchie for posting on my blog. Translocations and Inversions SUCK!!! So sorry for all you have gone through. Hoping that one of these cycles will end up with a chromosomally normal embie. Hang tight...you are not alone.

Reading

I started reading after my third miscarriage. I did not use to really like it before but now it is a necessity! I love falling asleep at night reading and reading on Sundays if time allows. It is my little personal time and it helps escaping from the outside world. I don't read that fast but I love it. I switch from English written books to French written books so I can practice my native language. Below is a list of the books that I have read. If you have any suggestions, please let me know! :)
