Hello! I've been lurking for awhile, and recently intro-ed on TTCAL. Mind if I join you here as well?
My DH and I have been married since Nov 2009 and are TTC #2. We have a son who turns 2 next month. We also have a German Shepherd who turned 1 today. We had a loss this past November at 9 weeks. We were advised to wait 2-3 cycles before TTC again, and we're finishing up our 3rd and last cycle on the bench. I really enjoy PBS Sunday night lineup of Downton Abbey and Sherlock. Finally, I believe Chris Hemsworth movies play a valuable role in TTC, so I'm definitely ready for that.
I used to be redheadscu on the Feb 2012 BMB until work blocked me. I now bump exclusively from my phone. Since I couldn't see my siggy and was coming back to the MC/loss board, I thought it best to just open a new account. Obviously I'm really creative when it comes to picking out new screen names.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Even though I am a newbie, I say welcome back! Hopefully you are not here too much longer. And since you mentioned it, here is some eye candy to help your ovaries:
My hubs and I got married Nov 2009 too! What a good month to be married We love Downton Abbey too. I got him addicted and we binged on the first 3 seasons in 2 weeks. Welcome and good luck!
