What no-one tells you about TTC

One more We can ALL RELATE!

What Nobody Told You About Trying to Conceive...

That your sex life would start to resemble a science experiment.

That you would see your OBGYN/RE more often than your DH at O time.

That the longer you TTC, the more PG women spring up around you.

That deep down inside, you can be a very jealous person.

That one day you wouldn't mind checking your CM or CP to see if it is your fertile period.

That you should have gone to medical school like your mom wanted, because I've had to do so much medical research by now just to figure out what was wrong with me, I might as well be an M.D.

That I would know more about the female reproductive system and menstrual cycle than most of the doctors I go to.

That living your life in 2 week increments would be the norm

That you never knew how much you wanted to see those 2 pink lines......until only one shows up every month

That miscarriage is so common.

That I would wish we had started TTC earlier.

That I wasted ALOT of money on Birth control pills!!

That it would help bring a group of wonderful, caring, funny, empathetic women together like this.

That women who do get pregnant are so very blessed!

That I could have been rich saving money on condoms, which were obviously unecessary.

That I would be happy to see abundant cervial fluid and tell my DH about it.

That other people's "good news" of pregnancy makes me sad and when they tell me they have good news, I hope that they just saved a bunch of money on car insurance by switching to Geico.

That docs should prescribe Zoloft with Clomid.

That having AF show up makes you cry, no matter who's bathroom you are in.

That it does not get easier, each cycle is harder than the last.

That a group of "strangers" who I will probably never meet, have now become my "best friends" when it comes to ttc.

That I would splash urine on my face while taking apart an hpt in the hopes there really was a 2nd pink line hiding in it.

That talking about sex with fellow TTCers would be so easy.

That one day all of this will make us stronger.

That I am very bitter towards unmarried accidental pgcys, and slightly bitter towards married accidental pgcys.

That there is nothing to aid conception in the water at work, despite what some may say.

That I'd discover who my true friends are, both IRL and online.

That I would know about other peoples' BD, CP, CM but not know there real name, their DH's name, or their occupation.

That the two little words of "just relax" uttered by everyone I know would enfuriate me beyond belief.

That I would watch a Baby Story every day... only to cry every day.

Some that really hit home for me:

That the longer you TTC, the more PG women spring up around you.

That you never knew how much you wanted to see those 2 pink lines......until only one shows up every month




That a group of "strangers" who I will probably never meet, have now become my "best friends" when it comes to ttc.
And also those that I have met

Re: What no-one tells you about TTC

I thought I was the only one who would watch Baby Story and cry. Yesterday I turned it off and thought "Why am I putting myself through this torture?" I'll probably watch it again though.

Re: What no-one tells you about TTC

So true!

Re: What no-one tells you about TTC

This is really beautiful.
It is wonderful that you wrote it all out...that must help in some way.
