Tiffany's TTC Journal

#1 July 16th, 2010, 11:03 AM

Hi Everyone, I am new to JustMommies and I decided to start a TTC Journal.

My name is Tiffany. I am 23, I will be 24 in August. My DH is Joe, he is 28, he turns 29 in September. We met in January 2002 and started officially dating on May 25, 2002. We got married this year on July 3, 2010. Since Joe and I have been together my oldest brother had a little girl in August 2002, my older sister had a little girl in July 2006. My younger brother had a little girl in October 2007 and he has another little girl on the way which she is due to be here in September. Knowing my younger brother has 2 children before me makes me wanted to be a mommy 10x more, plus I am the 1st out of my siblings to get married before having children. Also Joe's BF had his 1st child in March 2010 and I am extremely happy for him and his wife but it is also emotional for me because I do want to have a connection like that with my own little one. After Joe held his BF's baby that night he told me he was ready to be a father, which made me so excited to hear him say that.

Now that we are married we are TTC. We can't at this moment because AF decided to visit with me yesterday

but hey what can I do about that. Hopefully next month I will see that BFP and when I do become pregnant I hope we break the chain of all girls in the family.

Hi Tiffany! I am Caitlin! I am glad that you started a journal! It is a great way to get out your frustrations! Are you temping or using opks or anything like that???

Hi Tiffany!

Congratulations on your wedding! And you must be so excited to start TTC! My DH and I have been married since last October and have been TTC since January. There have definitely been some frustrating times, but mostly I'm excited about all that I've learned about my body through temping and charting! I'm staying positive because I've watched my cycle regulate the last 5 months!

I'll keep watching to see how your first month TTC goes! Good luck and have fun with it!

Hi Caitlin. I am not temping or using opks. I know I should be charting so that I know when I am Oing but idk I just haven't started it yet. My cycles are usually normal for me. They range from 32-39 days. I figure the first month TTC my dh & I are just going to have fun and not worry about it then next month I figure I can start charting. I know a little about charting but I have to read more about it.

I completely understand not charting. I did not chart at first either! If you get to that point we are here to help and there is another board all about it!

Thank you so much for the help and support. I really appreciate it.

I love charting.... probably too much! So if you need my help as well, I'm definitely around! I didn't chart for the first few months either. A lot of people don't have to - I hope you are one of them!!!!

I am on CD7 and AF has left for the month. Now it is time to drive my DH nuts. lol.

Cait&AngelAbove · #12 July 21st, 2010, 12:20 PM

Haha I am glad AF is gone!

I am new at this whole Journal thing so I will try to keep everyone updated.

I am on CD12 and I can tell from my CM that I should be Oing this weekend and I am super excited. I just hope it will be my turn already. I have 3 baby showers to go to within the next few months and it depresses me a little bit. I mean, don't get me wrong, I am super happy for them but still I want my own little bundle of joy. My birthday is next month so I am hoping that the BFP will be my birthday present and if not this time then for my DH's birthday in September.

I hope you get a birthday BFP!!! Baby showers are tough but I hope that you have a good toem when you go!

Thank you Caitlin, me too. I will have a good time at the showers as long as I don't think about it. Plus the first shower I go to is for my brother & his gf so she will be my 4th niece which I am happy about that. I can't wait for her to be born.
