New(ish) to the Bump

in New to The Bump

Hi! I joined the bump as soon as my husband and I started TTC, in early July. Although, I am just starting to interact on this site.

We have decided to keep TTC a secret, but it's really hard to not have anyone to really talk to about it. Maybe this site will help.

Like I said we've been TTC since July and I know 3 months is not long at all, but I have people in my life who ranomly point out that they got pregnant on their first try, or while they were still on birth control! I know they don't mean to make me feel bad, they don't even know I'm trying! However, this whole TTC journey has made me very emotional. 

Any advice on trying to stay somewhat sane while trying to conceive? Is that even possible?? ;)

    Welcome! Smile  We're keeping TTC a secret as well, and I completely understand where you're coming from.  I've seen younger family members "accidentally" get pregnant, and people continuously make comments about how DH and I should just hurry up and have a baby.  It's frustrating, and you're right, it's not their fault because they don't know.

    I just try to keep busy with anything else.  Work, hobbies, cleaning (this seems to be the biggest thing working for me; I never used to want to clean like I do now).  Best of luck through it all though!

    Welcome! This site has defiantly helped me when I have TTC on the brain and no one to talk to. I also understand how emotional it can be especially when finding out others' KU news. I hope your stay is short and you find this place useful for trying to stay sane :)

    Welcome!! DH and I just started trying this cycle so I am not to the frustration point yet, but I hear ya on the emotional level. I think my hormones are all screwed up!! I cry at the drop of a hat, i feel crazy sometimes because of it!! We also were going to keep it a secret, but a few weekends ago he told 2 other couples we were hanging out with, so now some people know. Our families don't tho. The couples that do know now keep asking if we are pregnant. which can be frustrating! I mean we haven't even finished one cycle and last night one of the girls was asking me why i haven't taken a test yet?!? So I think in a way its good to keep it on the DL... its frustrating to have no one IRL knowing, but the support here is so great!!! Hope your stay is s&s!! GL and again welcome!!

    My only suggestion is to sign up to fertilityfriend.com if you haven't already. You can get to it by clicking on my ticker. 
    by knowing exactly what's going on in your body truly helps eleiviate any unwanted stress when it comes to "why aren't i pregnant yet".
    Temping is the only way you'll know when and if you ovulate, and it's the best way of timing sex perfectley each month to up your odds of getting pregnant faster.
