I'm a newbie!! Check me out....

I have finally decided to start my own blog about TTC. I have been a "lurker", until now. I have found comfort in reading other women's blogs about the difficulties of getting pregnant. My DH and I have been very private about our struggle to have a baby, which is why I have started this blog. I think it will help to share my feelings with other people who have lived/are living the emotional rollercoaster of trying to start a family.

We started TTC in May 2008. DH and I have both been through a few tests that have all come up normal. It is frustrating to STILL not be pregnant but have no reasons why....unexplained!!
This is our 12th cycle, the last one until we go to an RE. I am trying to be hopeful for this cycle, it's just so hard after so many disappointments. I never thought I would be in this position....

I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me, just by sharing this information and not keeping it all to myself. I look forward to sharing my thoughts with all of you.

I know I'm late on commenting on this, lol, but good for you! Blogging has been the best therapy for me!

Hey! I can really relate to your story! We also started in May 2008, and I am about to have my first IUI. It's nice to know I am not alone in the struggle. Good luck to you!!!

I was a "lurker" for about 6 months before I just barely started my blog. I wish I would have known about the IF blogging world when I was new to infertility! It's such an outlet, even is nobody reads [my] posts, because my DH and I are super secretive about our IF too. Well, everyone knows since it's been over 4 years and we have done IVF 2x (made the "mistake" of telling the whole world the first time around). Having all the social pressure and even the support just compounds the issue, for me at least. I hope your current IUI brings good news!
Feel free to drop me your email and I'll add you to my blog! (I once believed that I could blog anonymously about IF but then my SIL found my blog and secretly followed along for months, learning about our "secret" FET. So I'm completely private now). Leave it at http://aicfollowers.blogspot.com/
Good luck again on this cycle! :)
