This blog will primarily be about my TTC (trying to conceive) journey. I am TTC in my late 20's as full-time house-wife/ "crafter" living away from friends and family in Michigan. My husband and I are trying for our first baby.

I decided to start this blog as a way to express myself, record my experiences/feelings and to receive information and support from others. Please feel free to leave comments or ask any questions. I hope you will share this journey with us!

Cycle 8

It seems as though we have been trying for eight months but in reality its been six and a half. I guess that's how its goes when your cycles are shorter then average. The last two were hard when AF arrived. I let myself cry for a little bit. There had been so many signs that I could have been pregnant, but in the end it was not meant to be.

You always hear, "it'll happen when you stop thinking about it!". But how? How do you stop thinking about it? Its not easy to stop thinking about getting pregnant or children when over half of my friends and family are pregnant or have young kids. I feel as if I don't have anyone to talk to, but its kinda my own fault. We have decide to not tell our friends and family that we are TTC. Mostly because I don't want the "so when are you two going to have kids?!" turn into "you aren't trying heard enough!" or "why not just settle on being an Aunt?". I can stand the "when are you two going to have kids?!", but I don't think I could stand unsolicited advise without crying.  He really asked me this the day after AF arrived.
Hubby- "Babe, why don't we have kids yet so we can go see that?" (on commercial for "We bought a Zoo!")
Me- looks at hubby while eyes well up with tears, "I don't know! Why don't we!?"

After much thought and inner debate, I  have come to the conclusion that its not worth it to TTC this month. AF is destined to arrive on the 25th, which will in turn no matter what put me in a Grinchie mood and I don't want to add tears on top of that that I will have to sneak in in the bathroom or when I get a second to myself.

So hears to cycle 9 and the New Year!
