Welcome to the October thread, ladies!!! This is a thread for those who have been TTC for a long time, whether 6 months, 12 months, or more. At this point many of us are at or past 1 or 2 years, many have had losses, many are dealing with various forms of infertility, and some are just in a waiting period until they can TTC again.
The name? Well, all things considered we tend to be a little bitter 
sometimes. So read with care 
. And due to everything, our emotions run a little 
raw 
like sushi. Too many cycles of BFN and CD1 sushi & sake to console ourselves. This TTC business is something that seems to "just happen" for so many...but we just can't seem to get it right. So this is where we can be together, share and express anything.

It's just been one of those freaking days.
Ah, well. Better luck to the rest of you!
I completly understand how bittersweet this weekend will be for you. I hope you can feel my support.
It is PERFECT. TTC is such a draining emotional journey.
And I'm excited to snuggle him. Trying to convince myself that I should not wear the Moby wrap that I totally have upstairs so I can put him in it and carry him around. No no no... *ahem* 
Great! Me too! I ought to have the results back in a week. It was $150 Gah!! This baby better be a boy because I have boy stuff everywhere from my son. A little girl is going to be wearing her big brother's clothes since it's costing me so much to conceive her! I hope she likes trucks and transformers!
