Spouse/SO, who is your support? And what does that look like to you?
Hi all, I was thinking about my TTC support system; I am not really publicly open (except here, where thousands can read, lol) about my TTC journey thus far.

Just need to vent/avoid crying at work/so typing out my feelings!
Hi Ladies, (long post) I don't post too often, though have before and everyone was so kind. I am feeling kind of alone this AM and just really needed a "safe" place to vent/talk it out.

Hey all, I have searched for this and there were a few posts in the general forums, but no real clear cut answer!
