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 18

The first round of clomid didn't work. I can't say I'm not disappointed because I am. Not nearly as much as DH is I'm sure. He has been asking me every day since the "egg drop" as he likes the call it, when we can find out if the clomid helped and we are pregnant. And every day it made me smile and made me hope inside that it could happen this month.
I have this feeling that for as much as we want this pregnancy I am going to suffer and have a horrible pregnancy when it happens.. Nothing like my sisters or any of my friends, I will just be miserable the whole time. DH and I recently watched What to expect when expecting, I feel I will be more like Elizabeth Banks character then her mother in laws.

..


I am writing yet again to complain about another close friend that has recently reviled that they are expecting again. Just as their first little one turns one they are pregnant again. If there are those of you who are going through what DH and I are then you may know the bitterness we are feeling yet again. And if you aren’t going through what we are then please keep your comments to your self.
DH and I are through round one on clomid. We were luck (yes I said we) that I only had some hot flashes and a couple small mood swings. DH might tell you a little differently when it came to the mood swings. I felt there was only one real big one and he was the root cause of it. Not sure if we are out of the clear yet or if symptoms continue throughout the month or only last as long as you are taking the pills. I guess this is where I would pause and actually research my question and then come back and rephrase that. Seeing how I am sitting at home where we currently only had the gas and electric hooked up that’s not going to happen until I manage to go some place with wifi. Until then I am stuck wondering and typing in word until I can get my fix in.
