Hello. I am 28 years old, DH is 28. We will be celebrating 7 years of marriage this fall. I am a hopeful dreamer who is ttc. Hopeful because when you decide to try, every month you have to hold out hope that this will be the month. A dreamer because I have seen my children in my dreams, I know they will exist. So, here is a brief history:
DH's sister was my best friend and roommate in college. We also happened to work together. Sometimes, DH would come by to pick up his sister for lunch or give her a ride home and these days my stomach would fill with butterflies and my heart would race. Eventually I asked my best friend if it would be okay with her, to ask her brother out. (Yes, I'm quite forthcoming) She agreed. DH and I have been together ever since. After a year long engagement we were married in 2003. We followed our parents' advice and decided to wait 5 years before ttc. I still agree this was highly beneficial to our marriage. I have been off BCP since 2006 so I am not sure when I'd be classified as officially ttc. We weren't "trying" but going off the pill, we weren't "not trying" either. I think the conscious decision to "try" came January 2010, so thus began ovulation tracking, bbt charting, cm investigations, and bd'ing on a tight schedule as my cycle is only 24-27 days long. It must be stated however, since we've been married, my husband has been deployed for a total of a 2.5 years, so the "trying" gets a little hard to do lol. So here we are, on our 4th month of dilegently ttc, and after reading blog after blog, various forums, and countless journals on the subject of the tww, I wanted to give myself an outlet so I don't drive DH away with my rants and questions during a very confusing and emotionally exhausting time...enjoy my day-by-day or close to it journal of my tww.
