Hey Ladies!
Remember life before IF??
Sometimes the irony just hits me on how things have changed over the years. I remember my DH and I discussing starting a family. He told me he wanted to be a young dad. I felt like it was a little too soon (we had been married a year and a few months), but I had only wanted to wait another 6 months or so, so it didn't bother me to start trying sooner.
I remember we first tried Dec 2008. I had my annual GYN appt coming up and was convinced I would be told I was pregnant at that appt. - AFTER ONE MONTH! HAHA! It all seems sooooo ridiculous now! I remember that first cycle i was one day late. I am super regular so I was SO convinced i must be pregnant. I went to take the home test and told my DH before I did it that i already knew I was pregnant bc I was late. HAHA! oooohhhhh maaaaan I was naive.
I remember picking my birth control and getting it each month. Didn't realize I was wasting my money.
I remember talking with my friends in high school and college, planning out my life. "I'll get married and in two years start having kids. I want to have three kids...etc."- Little did I know how hard it was going to be to make that happen...
I am just curious if you ladies have similar memories? While it hurts, i also find it a little humorous. I find it therapeutic writing memories like that out, and hope it will feel helpful for some of you too!

We wanted to be young parents, so we could play with our grandchildren. We felt that if we got everything done at the same time, kids, house, college, it would be crazy for a minute but eventually pass..rather then drawing the crazy out. I wanted four (FOUR) kids DH wanted only two, so I joked that we would have one and the second pregnancy would be twins and I would at least get 3! How little I knew!
