My scar smiles at me, I don't always smile back.

One woman in her 20's finally coming to terms with what her ovarian surgery 10 years ago means to her health, fertility, and outlook on life. Thinking about donor eggs and other routes to parenthood.

Songs for me

About me

Smiling: As a teenager, I lost most of my ovaries during the surgical removal of bilateral dermoid cysts. I was left with a smiling scar just like my mother's Cesarean one. No one hinted that only ten years later I would be racing my mother through menopause! Well, technically its premature ovarian failure, but the hot flashes sure are the same! But while she gets to gracefully age, I have to figure out how to fit my twenty-something dreams into my new reality. This is blog is my space to less than gracefully start that journey.
