To journal or not to journal that is the question???


Hi ladies,

Before I joined BnB a couple of months ago I lurked (sorry!) in the ttc board to see if it was somewhere I could get advice and support from. Great decision to join as you've all been fab. Found I have been recently lurking (sorry again !) in the journal section...

Now here is the question, I don't know whether to start journalling my ttc journey or not? Just wondered what those of you jounalling feel in terms of pros and cons. I think my worry is that once I start it means I am signing up to be around for a while, whereas if I don't journal things may happen sooner - is that silly or what?!?!?!?!?

Cheers....x.

I was like you Newbie to begin with, I thought starting a journal would almost be like admitting defeat!!

I think mine's been on the go now since April and I'm glad I started it. I've found it great to get to know the other girls because you find yourself posting in their journals and getting to know their stories. Really supportive and it'll be great to see if from start to end when you have your !!

I started my journal because I thought it would speed up the process. You know, like waiting for a bus and then 3 turn up. I'm still waiting for that bus!

It's a good place to rant and just 'be' and I'm looking forward to looking back over it when I get my BFP.

I do, I do, but it's just that little niggle about being here for the duration, but who knows what path fate has mapped out for us so I suppose it would be nice for the support from you ladies.... OK think that is the decision made (didn't take long or much persuasion!!!), will start one this week....x.
