So I finish typing out my first blog entry, hit submit and lean back with pride. There. I am officially part of the online writing community. Bloggers unite! Phase one of Operation TTC Blog complete. Phase two meant I still needed to put the word out that my reproductive life was on public display.
I sent the link to a few close ladies in my life, namely my sisters, mom, and a couple girlfriends, forgetting none of them are belly deep in "am I or am I not pregnant" forums. I'm desensitized to all the nitty gritties of the symptoms, so they must be, too. Right? Hello, Earth to Jill?
A couple positive responses came back (woo hoo!). Then yesterday I saw one of the gals I sent the link to in person. A little chit chat, and I ask her what she thought of it. "It was good Jill, but a couple of times I was like, 'ohmigod, did she really say that?'" Oops.
A ttc forum reply put it well when the gal posting her question kept adding "tmi" after the symptoms she listed. The reply came back, "there is no such thing as tmi on this website." Women want to know what other women are going through. It reassures them they're normal.
And unfortunately, this particular blog topic covers every little detail of our swimsuit parts. That being said, there's probably going to be a little more info given here than some might like. Apologizing in advance!
Oh, and I didn't wait 4 days. I took a hpt today, bfn. I'm still optimistic, though!
