Trying to Conceive forums aka. TTC's

First off, happy new year world! I know no one will be reading my blog, possibly ever. But if someone just so happens to stumble upon it one day, Happy New Year. May every aspiration come to fruition.

DH ( here I go with the forum slang already) and I decided in November that we wanted to start tyring for a baby. It was risky, I just switched jobs, and am on probation until January 24th. Hubby is still not a permanent resident of the country, we have some debt - not much but some. So we were not 100% all in this past fall to start trying. But the more we thought about it, the more we decided why not, when are we ever really ready. So there we go, I took out my IUD a mere few days ago, and getting excited to start trying  :)

While I wait for my Aunt Flow (ugh I hate that term, AF in the forums) to finish, I decided to join a few online communities to talk to like minded ladies about the journey in which we have chosen.

Well, after only a few days on babycentre.ca and babycentre.com, my head is spinning world.

This is just a short list of the acronyms laid out in the TTC Forum world (Trying to conceive for those as confused as me.

I for one will need to find some acronym decoding website for these pages so I can follow along with the conversation.

What makes it a bit sadder for me though, is how hard some people are trying to get pregnant. I realise that this is a very naive, and a very ignorant statement to make, as I have yet to fornicate once since trying to conceive. All the same, temperatures are being taken, peeing on stick for ovulation %'s and tests week after week to only be met by disappointment. Then expressing their disappointment on the www. I feel for these women, which could end up being me in a few months.

I guess I came into this experience thinking, we'll fuck, we'll make baby, we'll birth, and move on.

But this appears to be rare for some.

I gotta stop reading these forums! haha the doubt, the gloom is getting to me.
