TTC Journal??
Does anyone keep one??? My MIL got me to thinking the other day of keeping one just so that when our day comes, we can look back at everything we went through to get there.
I just picked one up & I am backtracking & writing some key notes in there that I had stored in MMC.com
It is amazing the emotions you can put down on paper

Re: TTC Journal??
That's a really good idea, like a precursor to a pregnancy journal and then a baby book!

Re: TTC Journal??
I have a Live Journal that I've had for about 5 years now. I do have a filter on there for myself to keep track of everyting that's going on & to vent my feelings about TTC.

Re: TTC Journal??
I keep one. Its a big notebook one side has all a calendar and I write when we BD, what my body is doing, everything. The other side I just write how I feel that day. I jot down different information I get or things i want to look in to. Questions for my doctors and whatever else I can think of.

Re: TTC Journal??
Wow that is good idea.. And it may be helpful too when you see the RE.
I have all my symptoms for every month we TTC on FF.com.. SO I have something to print out and look at. Of course the month we got pg I decided to stop writing stuff down so now I have no frame of reference for when I started to see what symptoms..
But I get that you want to do it for emotional and sentimental reasons and I really like that idea. Did you just get a regular journal?

Yea I went to Target & got a really nice one & it has a saying on it
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"
When I saw it, I thought it was perfect for the situation! It was $6 But I have back tracked as much as I could. I am going to keep the running journal now with symptoms & what not so if the time comes, we have everything written down. I did print out my MMC.com calendars & inserted them in also.

Re: TTC Journal??
I started keeping a separate calendar in addition to mymonthlycycles. I just use a spiral notebook, and draw a monthly calendar on each page, and make daily comments about what my body is doing. I'm finding it especially helpful since my OPKs are...on the fritz.
Writing down some emotion, and journal entries would really add something else to it though.
I allowed myself to earmark pages of the PB kids catalogue this month...
my wedding planner file became my house hunting file, which now may turn into my baby making file!
