TTC blogs

[Bubblegum89]

Does anyone else have one? I’ve been doing one since about October last year when I decided I needed an outlet for this madness. I would love to have a read of other ttc/infertility blogs though!

Mine is talesfrommyuterus.wordpress.com/

Feel free to add yours here :)

@Bubblegum89. I've just read some of yours - you're a very good writer :-)

Aw thank you looking ☺️ Anything that stops the screaming in my head

@Bubblegum89 just read your latest one, the Friends reference really made me chuckle, I know if I ever get pregnant I'll be just like her with the scan picture!

Haha DaisyMay the thing was so tiny, I had no idea what I was looking at. Didn’t help that I didn’t have my glasses on either!

@Bubblegum89 I love "You know you’ve been TTC for too long when…": hilarious!

It's not a blog as such, but I recently created a website called The Duff – which is all about explaining aspects of IVF in plain English. There are a bunch of articles on there already, but I'm going to be adding new ones whenever I get a chance!

Sorry to hijack this OP, but having popped in here it puts in me in mind of a friend.........have you any top tips of things to say/not say to a friend going through infertility?

mishmoshery ooh, I’ll have to have a look, thank you for sharing!

mammyoftwo there’s lots of things lol but the main one is “just relax” “take a holiday” that kind of thing. I think there’s a post on my blog that lists loads of stuff not to say. It’s hard when you’ve not been through it yourself so saying the wrong thing is very easy!

Thank you, I appreciate that. I know the individual concerned does want people to talk about this topic (she has specifically said so) but I guess I'm just scared of causing more hurt/pain by thoughtlessly saying something unhelpful/unsetting.

mammyoftwo it’s best not to say anything at all unless she decides she wants to talk about it :)

thank you
