I went to a bachelorette party last weekend, it was 10 of us girls (all around 32) and only two of us were childless. We were sitting by the pool and got talking and all 8 of them conceived super fast, many in the first month or at least in the first three. No MCs, no TTC basically. And it just really got me thinking how different experiences they must have, just the TTC lingo, knowing what MC and DTD and DPO and BFN and rainbow baby, sticky baby etc. expressions all mean. I told them about my MC and they were all so supportive but shocked, I told them about ovulation tests and no one from those 8 girls knew they existed or what they looked like lol. I felt like such a unicorn. One of them did ONE digital pregnancy test and couldn't bother to do another when the + disappeared so she just drew it on with a sharpie to tell the parents.
Can you imagine? My mind is blown lol.
Anyways I'm 4DPO today and I'm not too bothered this cycle anymore. I calculated if I get my period this month and I'd be successful in the next cycle I could do a test for my husbands birthday. So now I'm hoping for that timeline.
Trying to lighten up a little and not get too obsessive again.
