Welcome to Making Babies

 

This site was purely “conceived” through my own journey of TTC.Click on "read more" below for the Full Story.

Of course back when we were TTC baby #1, I didn’t have access to the internet. Our knowledge about conceiving a baby was – go off the pill, go to the fridge calendar and count “your days”. Making sure you circle day 14 with a big red marker. Get as much BDing in as possible…. And simply hope for the best. When we decided to TTC #2, that’s when the flood gates opened to a whole new world filled with checking your BBT every morning, looking out for any fertile CM, timing BD sessions. Not even mentioning the wonderful 2ww which has the possibility to drive any sane woman absolutely bonkers.

Getting excited about the slightest tinge in your boobs or a funny pulling pain behind your belly button… Yes you know exactly what I’m talking about…(and if you are totally confused by BBT, CM, BD.. please check out the TTC lingo page. You’ll soon get into the hang of all the TTC talk. I often find myself talking out loud in all these abbreviations. I just take special care not to talk in code when visiting my gynae)

It’s amazing how much information is out there in different places. All you have to do is search through websites and read read read. A lot of the information is the same, all serving the same purpose - to make TTC a little easier to understand or to totally confuse you. We thought lets bring the basics together and grow from there. Let’s also explore the funny side to TTC. We often get so wrapped up in the disappointment of BFNs and AF arriving, we forget about just having fun. Believe me I’m just as guilty of that as anyone else. And of course let’s talk about TESTING, home pregnancy tests.

Got to love them. The whole adrenaline rush of waking up in the morning, rushing to the loo. Getting ready to aim… then slowly watching the dye run across the test… Holding your breath while you watch the control line show up. Please oh please, give me two lines!!!! ……………….. ARRGGHHHH, not again… but maybe it’s too early, maybe baby hasn’t even implanted yet, maybe the HcG just isn’t strong enough yet. Maybe maybe maybe…. There are so many maybes. But we’ll do this all again tomorrow. LOL

I don’t think anyone understands the brain or emotions of a woman TTC, except other TTCers. Yes we are another species, face it. Especially when we are together on a chat site or forum. We just click. It doesn’t matter from where in the world you are, what your background is, how old/young you are or what you do for a living, we know how the other feels. Suddenly you are surrounded by a group of wonderful ladies with whom you share every personal detail with, and yet you will never meet that person in “real life”.We all get heartbroken when someone else gets AF or a BFN. The pain is shared. And you get picked up and built up and psyched up to start another crazy cycle of TTC. Because you know that BFP is within reach.

I think I’ve gotten a little side tracked now, anything TTC related just excites me and I can get totally lost in conversation…. back to why we started this site… not only did I want to put some info out there but, I like any other true TTCer love HPTs. But at the rate we go through them, we will be bankrupt very soon. So why can’t we have cheaper tests and lots of tests. Why are we embarrassed to walk into a chemist and buy 10 tests at a time, month after month. I don’t have the answer to that…. but we can try making it a little easier on ourselves. I am trying to make the best, most affordable TTC products, (including HPTs and OPKs) available to us. Without having to worry who is watching you while you stand in line to pay.
