In 2014, recently married and trying to conceive, I found myself desperately searching for stories of other women, like me, who had been successful trying to conceive. I could find plenty of stories, but I didn’t fit the mold. I didn’t have a 28 day cycle. I wasn’t the picture of health. And, I wasn’t getting pregnant quickly. During such an emotionally charged time of my life, I connected with some women in social communities, but learning their stories required me to ask invasive questions.
TTC Diaries was born out of an unfilled need: A streamlined process to find stories of hope, advice, and solutions to trying to conceive. With the striking statistic that 1 in 5 women struggle to conceive after trying for 1 year, it is obvious that trying to get pregnant can be a long and arduous journey. You shouldn’t have to do this alone. At TTC Diaries you can read stories of others who came before you on the trying to conceive journey, learn what worked for them, and get ideas for both you and your partner to try, and most importantly, feel comforted that someone like you has been successful before.
Wishing you the most peaceful journey to your positive pregnancy test,
Angela
