Now that the web design has largely taken shape, it's about time that I kicked it all off. We're not all done here-I need to get an email account set up, the links aren't done, and there's a lot more work ahead of me here.
If you are here, you've probably been sent the link via email. You might know me under a different pen name. It's possible you even know me under my real name, which I never blog about. My dear partner Aidan (whom you probably also know under a different name) has kindly set up this blog site for me while I was away.
I am keeping my identity of my other blog seperate from this blog as I want to be able to write freely on this site, without being found by friends and family. By all means, link away if you want, but if you can keep my identity secret, I'd be mighty grateful. And don't be put off by me using another fake name-I'm not schizophrenic, honest. Just rabidly paranoid, but with good reason.
We start IVF around about the 26th of March, give or take a few days due to the instability of my next two periods.
This blog will be about the IVF we will be going through and the hard times that we have ahead. This blog will be the one place I can vent, cry, scream, and wish without being found out by my family or caged in by dick monkeys who give shit advice.
So hi. My name is Vanessa. It's nice to meet you.
Welcome to the new site.

Posted by: Mia at February 14, 2006 11:07 AMHi Vanessa,
Thanks for sending me the link, I've added it to my blogroll, but will never allude to the fact that this one and your other site are done by the same person.
Posted by: Amanda at February 8, 2006 10:47 PMHi Vanessa,
Yes - you did send me the link in an email. Thank you, it's nice to meet you. I hadn't read to much of your other blog other than to know that your family was giving you a hard time. I have kept my IF blog in the closest - nobody that knows me personally has the blog.
Looks great! I can't help but think we will all come out better from having this space to share, cry, and celebrate.

Posted by: MsPrufrock at January 24, 2006 07:33 PMYou and Aidan did a good job.
I look forward to being with you as you progress on this journey. My love and thoughts (as always) are with you both.
AxXx
Posted by: Lemurgirl at January 24, 2006 06:31 PMI can't tell you how much I respect you for keeping your 'identity' hushed over here. If there's one thing I would change about my infertility blogging, it would be that I would definitely *not* have used our real names.
And good job to Aidan on the site design.
