Yet Another Newbie Intro

Hello ladies!
My name is Erica. I recently married the man of my dreams (celebrated by fireworks on the 4th of July!!). We knew early on in our relationship that we weren't going to wait to have kids. We have 10 neices and nephews between the two of us and starting a family of our own just seems so natural. I am not coming off of BC (we went the old fashioned helmet wearing path of prevention) so I'm not worried about my body adjusting to my newly married life. However, in an effort to reduce stress we have decided not to chart just yet. We want to just explore ourselves, our relationship and our bodies. And if a baby comes from that then so be it. That being said, I have probably the most regular cycle ever. The only time I ever went off course was the week of my wedding (because clearly AF was mad she wasn't invited and chose to make an unwelcome appearance). Anyway...I think we are in good shape. We will go this path for a few months and if nothing happens then we will start charting. I look forward to getting to know everyone. This new adventure is exciting and it's awesome having a place to ask questions and share!!
Happy and excited,
Erica

Currently making lifestyle changes in an effort to lose 100 pounds.
I've also been in drug free clockwork bliss for 5 years (post a pile of ridiculous ENDO/drug filled years) and we're doing the same routine. Lots of intentional fun when we're on the same continent. (He's still in the States, I'm in Asia)
FX for you guys!!
