I am Mina. I chose the name Kmina because it sounds like “caminar”, which in Spanish means “to walk, to cover a distance”.
I am 33 (soon already 34 hello 35 make that 36 or better yet, 37). I met the love of my life in January 2006 and married him five months later, in June. Shortly after that, we moved here and there in Europe and finally settled down in Germany. I had a missed abortion in May 2009. Our son George was born on August 11th, 2010.
I follow a lot of IF blogs. I do not belong in that club of theirs, I belong in the ‘Loss and grieving’ one. But my mum had to resort to fertility treatments to have me (ovarian stimulation, I think) and she lost my brother at around five months of gestation (that sounds very clinical). My best friends are also affected by IF. Some of the bloggers I follow are such good writers and fine persons and their blogs are so witty, and raw, and heart-wrenching and they smile through the tears and hope through the pain. I wish them all the very best of luck, as it seems this is the most important ingredient and the one that no one gets from a shop and is not given on a ‘good deed – reward’ basis.
On my 36th birthday I get the best present – a positive HPT. And so a fourth pregnancy begins. And our second son Stevie was born July 5th, 2012. And I learn that one can actually love more than one child, the love is limitless and not dividing.

hi! thanks a lot for checking my blog and leaving a comment! i really appreciate it.
I am so sorry for our loss.. I can’t imagine what you went through. I’ll be following your journey, too!
Thank you for your comment on my blog and I’m so sorry for yours as well. I just finished reading about your little guys sleeping habits 🙂
the IF club is not one you want to be a member of, but infertility and loss are one in the same. i’m sorry to hear of your loss and i wish you lots of luck in the future 🙂
Am I missing something? I thought your second and third pregnancies were the ones with George and Stevie. The fourth?
There was another pregnancy lost 15 years ago. 😦
Oh, I didn’t know.
So sorry, Mina.
