Let's start at the very beginning

I'm not really sure how to start off a blog. Various sites have told me that I should open with a bang and share with you a little anecdote that will make you laugh. Coming from a large family there is always a constant flow of gossip, funny stories and mini spats but none of which come to mind as a fitting blog opener.

So instead I'll start with a little bit about me and how I reached this point of beginning a blog. I'm an amateur who doesn't know the first thing about blogging. I do however love writing and telling stories and I guess I feel I have something to say.

Since finishing high school I meandered through my remaining teens and early twenties like most twenty somethings. I slowly completed a degree I didn't particularly enjoy, body issues at times plagued me, I dated a nice boy but sensed it wasn't really going anywhere and I travelled. All the while I was surrounded by amazing family and friends who supported me in every way.

A few years down the track and I have met and quickly married Mr JR, completed a degree that I enjoyed this time, currently am employed, bought a cute little house that came attached with a not so cute and not so little mortgage that has severely clipped my travelling wings and along with my mother and sisters (who have all, like me had our animal activist instincts majorly kick in) have become vegetarian and campaign for animal welfare.

I have always had a love for writing and have containers full of loose pages and notepads that have been filled with stories I've written as a child growing up. It seems in adult life those little "luxury" hobbies don't get much of a look in when you have a full time job that keeps you busy with the steady flow of bills that need to be paid.

What gave me the idea to start a blog was when I found out I had polycystic ovarian syndrome and I began googling various forums to find out how other females were going with their journey of aiming to start a family.

It seems that lots of women out there do have pcos and that it does affect this next chapter of our lives so I decided to start writing about my experiences for everyone like me who is aboard the same train.

So whilst this blog is about Mr JR and my quest to enter this next phase of our life, it's also about us and our lives in general because I always enjoy telling a story or two.

Welcome to my polyperfect life.
