I guess I CAN make the time to start and maintain a TTC journal after all! Funny how time magically materializes when it comes time to wallow in one's obsession!
Doubt anyone'll even read my journal. This is more like "a healthy outlet" for my obsession with TTC. Hee hee...
A quick introduction to me and my TTC journey:
- DH and I are both 29 years old, turning 30 in the summer.
- TTC #1
- TTC since January 2008
- Just TTC "naturally" so far (is that what you call it when you haven't had any fertility treatments done yet?)

So AF came this morning. How annoying that all those symptoms I wanted to read as P symptoms were really PMS symptoms (itchy BBs, lighter-coloured nipples, gas/bloating, constipation, fatigue, mild nausea). Sigh... there goes another month.
It's agonizing how we have to wait an entire month before we get another go at this TTC thing. I keep having to set aims to conceive within new milestones with each I get:
First, it was "conceive before September, when school starts". Nope...
Next, it was "give birth before the end of 2008 so my baby is the same age as my cousin's baby". No luck yet...
During my last cycle it was "okay, how 'bout we have a new year's baby then!" NO! STILL not this month!
So... now it's onto the new milestone for this month... how 'bout "conceive before my 30th b-day in the summer so I'll be conceiving with a 29-year old egg"? That one'll last me for a few months. Perhaps I can allow myself to relax now!
Is it absolutely stupid, selfish, etc. of me to hope to conceive within certain timeframes? Of course, I'd be absolutely delighted to conceive any old time but it would just make it so much sweeter if it could happen soon.
So a colleague came to back to work today after having had her a few weeks ago. AND SHE LOOKS GREAT. She does not look like a woman who has just had a baby. Back to her pre-baby gorgeous bod and glowing, happy and relaxed. She's a sweetie so she deserves it all...
BUT...
That leaves me feeling like a bloated, sad sourpuss. I felt pretty sad about my TTC woes after seeing her today.
Aww Natalie, you're awfully sweet to sign in to my journal! Thanks for checkin' in! I'll be following yours too! (I also have to thank you for suggesting that I create my own journal and the signature... I'm LOVIN' them!!)
Hiya Cloudy Day! I think it's totally normal to set these "time-frames" every month - we all do it. And then when the old comes along we say the opposite - well at least I can go on that holiday, have that drink or whatever is consolation!!!
Looking forward to reading your journal hun! I have one too somewhere...
