What I've learnt since TTC (and still trying)

Margs

After TTC for 9 months now, it doesn't happen as easy as I once thought! I've had friends who have called their pregnancies happy "accidents". The odds of actually becoming pregnant are actually not very high! Even less if you have underlying issues. To fall pregnant without even trying seems unreal to me right now.

I've become so in tune with my body and its cycles. I've also become more aware of every single twinge/cramp/ache. I wish I was more informed when I was younger.

I have not been successful in stopping myself from googling every symptom and falling down the rabbit hole to see who else has had the same symptoms.

Staying positive is hard, especially when it feels like everyone around you doesn't appear to have any issues (though I can't just assume that they haven't).

Be kind, including being kinder to myself. The added pressure doesn't help. Maybe my body is telling me to slow down first before it comes to the party.
