A Lurker's Re-Introduction

Sha259Sha259 member
in Trying to Get Pregnant

Good Evening All!

Making a return to the Bump after being mainly a lurker earlier this year while I was a TTC newbie. I've got the same S/N as before, though I've had a birthday and am older now (I'm 30, DH is 29). We've been married 8 years, together for 11.

I'm back because...I'm still TTC on Cycle 13 and need the community of other ladies also TTC, so that I don't feel so alone in it.

We have spent the whole year TTC without telling our families, and as the months progress it gets harder and harder not to tell them that their bullying is not in vain and that we are trying our hardest to add to the family! But with no luck. We have been married so long, people are beginning to think we don't want kids.Tongue Tied

So, when I first joined in Feb 2012 I lurked to get the lay of the land and to figure out what the heck I was supposed to be doing (I spent most of my time in the 2WW thread). Now I'm back, hoping that I can be useful to any ladies newly trying, and maybe get some advice for myself as I look ahead to the next steps in my baby seeking journey.

So yeah, hello again!Big Smile

    Good Luck, I feel your pain. I recommend playing with trolls in any variety. Snark away at the ugly trolls. You can join my troll party sorry the green and pink are spoken for!

    Welcome and good luck. We tried not telling our family... so far mine knows just because I had quite a melt down when my dad jokingly told me my mom needed a grand baby... I had just started that morning it was our 10th cycle of trying.... Poor guy he felt terrible... Hang in there...

    Thank you all for the welcome. I hope that all of our stays here end sooner than later, for the best possible reasons. As hard as it seems now not telling the family, I feel telling them would be harder. Then I would get all the concern, advice, and opinions I could definitely do without.
