100 days of charting and journaling in a small spiral-bound notebook.
A log of our PCOS / Infertility journey and search for health and quality of life. My husband and I would love to have another baby, but more than that we want to be spiritually and physically healthy for whatever work God calls us to. I would love for you to join me in prayer. Update: We conceived in July 2012!
