My life is so different than I ever could have imagined right now. 26 about to 27 in July. I’m no where near where I wanted my life to be. Or so I thought. I had a life plan. Get married to the girl of my dreams, have my first kid, and be a productive [...]

Ok so it was a no go for hormones here. They want me to be seen for three or four weeks in a row before I get hormones. Not happening. I’m going back to Monroe. But while I was there I found out I really need to see the GYN ASAP! Apparently the cramps are [...]
