** INTRODUCE YOURSELF HERE! **

Hello ttgp bump ladies,

Hi! I never intro'd because I thought it was lame to start a thread to do so.

I'm 26, hubs is 30 we've been ttc our first since april. I'm super impatient and I hate this process. I'm finding zero joy in it. But I'm hopeful that 2016 is our year. In general I am a very sarcastic person with a very dry sense of humor. I have a strong dislike for sypmtom spotting and drive by bfps. I have a passion for waffles, the office, sheepdogs, coffee, and Harry potter.

Charmed,
Hoops

PS: my handle is a family nickname and my avi is prison mike.

@MissAmeliaPond - Could you possibly add something about the Benched/TTA thread, in case any ladies who come to the board finds themselves in one of those two categories? That way they know they're still welcome here, despite not actively trying at the moment.

---

My own re-intro-thing: I'm 23, hubby is 27, he has one 7 year old son from a previous relationship, and we both have an adorable dog that we adopted together in the meantime.
I'm a college student with two more years to my Bachelor's, so after 4 cycles of TTC our first, we decided it would be best to wait a while and think about trying again in August or so -- that way any conception would result in a summer baby and hopefully less of an interference in school.
Even though we're TTA, I can't let go of my TTGP ladies and the snark and hilarity that's here, so I'll be sticking around in the meantime and love titting everything.

PensiveCrayon

YA'LL. I'm finally legit enough that I can stop forum stalking and start posting! Huzzah!

My intro: I'm a stay-at-home writer, no kids, two hermit crabs, one darling hubby. I finished up my MFA in creative writing last July and promptly got hired on to write for Uproxx.com's life section. I've also been working hard at finishing up my own novel, a YA adaptation (ish...that's being generous) of Moby Dick set on a cruise to Alaska where the main character is Captain Ahab and the white whale is a hot guy who broke her heart four years previously. Yeah.

Hubby is in the military. He likes to keep his identity fairly private because of this. But he's a delight.

As for the bebe thing, I've been beyond ready for awhile. I am so impatient to BE pregnant! I grew up with my parents telling me, "Condoms don't work if you keep them in the drawer!" (my sister was born less than eleven months after they were married, heh), and have always had very regular cycles. And wide childbearing hips. I've been off HBC since last September, and this is the first month we're not using any sort of protection. I'm hoping for a "one and done" type deal, but I know that's not a very likely scenario. I'm just driving myself crazy over here. And I haven't even O'd yet! Agh. 

mattanderin15

Hi everyone!

I'm Erin. I've been married for 7 years and have two beautiful daughters, ages 3 and 1.5. We are going to start trying for baby #3 next cycle. I have been having what I believe to anovulatory cycles and am having a lot of difficulty with my charts, even though I have been NFP since 2013. Because of that, I am so excited to talk with other women who may insight on anovulatory cycles and what that could mean for me.

In non-baby things, I work in the IT dept at a summer camp and also in scheduling at a hospital. I enjoy running, reading, knitting, football, and making soap. I can't wait to get to know you all!

JayJay1212

I introduced myself awhile back, but I never really participated too regularly, and have been MIA for awhile, so I guess I will intro again!

H and I are both 27, I teach kindergarten and he is a med student. We have been trying for our first since August. In our spare time we like to watch guilty pleasure reality competitions, shout out to MTV's The Challenge, The Bachelor (and Bachelor in Paradise), and Survivor.

I love lurking, but am going to participate more. I am looking forward to getting to know you all!

*TW MC*

I'll reintroduce myself since most of you have come well after my initial intro in Summer of 2015. I just turned 29 (the first time! I'll forever be 29 from here on out, right?!?! LOL). H is going to be 31 in March. We've been TTC since Jan '15. I had my gallbladder removed in October and they found and removed endometriosis. While my OB said that was not necessarily the reason I was able to get my BFP in late Nov I believe it is. However on Dec 16 I had a miscarriage. It's been a difficult journey so far but I know there are unfortunately ladies who have/had it much worse than I. I pray everyday for those who struggle so much to be a mother. I am so thankful I found this wonderful community who understands and "gets me".

Non TTC background: I am a payroll accountant for a manufacturing plant and H is a IT systems analysis for the local school. We have two fur babies (currently my picture). Maggie is a 3 year old Walking Treeing Coonhound and her sister Molly is an almost 2 year old Lab/Coonhound. I recently starting an adult coloring book and highly recommend it. (I'm no artist but it's very relaxing/great stress relief.)

PeggyOlsonFTW

@dogmomwantinghuman I love coloring books! I just started one and I keep telling all my friends to drink the coloring book Kool Aid too.

SweetiePateetie

Long time listener, first time caller. I’ve been temping/charting through FF since November, but this is my first cycle TTC. 

I'm 33 and DH is 29. We've been married a little less than a year. I'm an event planner by day and a jazz singer by night. I love happy hours, travelling, snowshoeing, and hosting dinner parties. 

DH asks regularly what’s happening on The Bump - if that’s any indication as to how long/often I’ve been lurking. He loves hearing about the crazies (gurgling uteri and boobs that hurt, but only while going down stairs – WTF?!) and the awesome snark and gifs! I’m very excited to join this community and to actively participate on WTO/TWW/GTKY threads. I’m under no impression that this will be a smooth ride and look forward to supporting and commiserating with all of you. And of course, celebrating a sh!t ton of BFPs! 

mj8215

Hi all! I'm 31, husband is 35. We got married last Summer and have just started TTC last month. I like being in control of things but at the same time don't want to obsess too much... still working on finding a middle ground. Not temping or charting for now, just want to see how the next few months go.
I grew up in Europe and moved here for work 5 years ago. I am a runner who loves Star Trek.
I met my husband at work - we are both physicians (not OBGyn though), which makes it harder to not obsess over the million things that could potentially go wrong... Trying to stay sane as best I can
Good luck to all of you!

SongbirdintheCity

Hi ladies! I'll re-intro too!

I'm 35 and DH is just about 34. We have been married for 7 1/2 years and have been TTC #1 since August 2015. I've been fairly active on the WTO/TWW threads and have really enjoyed learning from and sharing with everyone so far!

We live in a big city and have enjoyed life as a hard working couple (he's a doctor and I'm a lawyer turned business woman) without kids for almost 10 years - happy hours, karaoke, dinners out, travel - just being swept wherever the latest adventure might take us whenever we could. We still very much love that about living in the city, but are now ready to add children to the mix. I'm sure that will be it's own type of adventure and we are looking forward to it! Especially me, since I'm an only child and can't wait to have a family of my own.

In my free time, in addition to spending time with friends, I love to sing, play interior designer, and I'm a bit of a tv junkie.

I look forward to continuing the TTC journey with you all (though I hope for not much longer)!

KristoKekerooni

Hey!
My name is Kristin. I joined the Bump when I got pregnant, but after my MC I quickly dropped out without a word. I MC 3 times within six months, and now DH and I have been trying for a total of 2 years... No prefer since those MC a year and a half ago. It's a struggle, but we are still remains positive. Hey haven't found anything wrong yet (no news is good news???) so we have restrain to keep trying. I look forward to getting involved and finding friends who are in the same boat!

Hello!
Mrs. Bear- 26 (27 in April)
Mr. Bear-29 (30 in April!)
Together 5 years, married for 2 years.
On BCP for 8 years before TTC.
TTC since October 2015.
Have owned a BBT for 2 months & have remembered to temp...once. Yes, once. The struggle is real guys, I just can not remember to do it.

Hubs & I live in the Panhandle of Florida with our 3 fur babies. We're gamers & enjoy the aquamarine blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico often. Look forward to becoming more active here, I've got anxiety so even posting online gets me a little panicky.

hupp0013

Hi everyone! I am going to jump in even though we are not TTC this month, but will be in February. I am 32 and my husband is 29. We will be TTC #3 in February. If that doesn't work out, we will start trying again in July. We have an all inclusive vacation planned in the end of July and I wouldn't want to be hiding a pregnancy during it.

We have a 3 yo DD and a 1 1/2 yo DD. I am a stay at home mom. I like to run, read, crochet, and knit in my spare time.

PensiveCrayon

@hupp0013 yes, jump in! I wish I had earlier, even though we are just TTC as of this month!

@makingabearcub I'm so addicted to taking my BBT every morning, ha. It's like a game to see where I'm at each morning! Maybe you'll get into it if you do it regularly

fitlady21

Hey everyone! Figured I would do another intro since a lot of you guys have joined since June. My husband and I got married in May '15 and started TTC in June. He is 30 and I'm 21. We have two fur babies that we absolutely love and are wanting to add a baby to the mix really soon.

We are about to start the process of building our dream home in April so we are counting on that to be a nice distraction. Hopefully we will all have a short stay here!!

QueenSunscreen

Hello all! I lurked the boards for a while and just kind of inserted myself into conversations without a proper intro, so here I am! DH (35) and I (30) have been together since 2008, married in October 2013. We have two adorable, dysfunctional mutts and one quite elderly cat. I went off HBC in September and we have been TTC since October/November. I am surrounded by pregnant women, both personally and professionally. I'm not a patient person, and all the waiting (waiting to ovulate, waiting to test, waiting for af to be over, waiting for the elusive BFP) drives me a bit batty. Temping has been fantastic for my mindset and lurking this board has kept me from falling into my own bsc a few times.

Good luck to everyone here, and may your stay be short!

momtoleo

Re-introing here so that everything is all in one place. LOVE this idea by the way.

I'm 34 and my husband is 33 (well, for one more week). We got married in June 2014 and decided to "pull the goalie" as DH likes to say in May 2015. Trying since then. We live outside of DC with our adorable, snuggly, and rather large, dogs who are my two babies. 

[Deleted User]

Hi ladies, I'll re-intro.  I'm 32 (33 in Feb) and DH is 39 (40 in July).  We have been together for 5 years and married in May 2015.  I started temping and charting on paper when we began the marriage prep process in the Catholic Church, so I could get to know my cycles and understand what's happening in my body better.  This is my 18th cycle temping and our 3rd officially TTC.  We were NTNP June-November 2015 ish, but most of those months were not feasible timing really, due to travel and finishing up a cross-country move back to the East Coast.

Although we are still optimistic that all we are suffering from is impatience, we also feel like we are not getting any younger.  DH's cousin's wife, (married 3 years), just announced their BFP at Christmas, so we would love to have similar age kids together.  Plus, I have a childhood BFF who is starting TTC as of the New Year, too!

DH and I recently started a construction business, so I more or less work from home, and I'm really a classical/opera singer.  I mostly sing at Church these days, but I would like to get back to more semi-professional singing this year with my local teacher and/or in NYC, now that we are starting to feel settled in a bit after the move.  **ETA DH is also going back to college for Engineering starting this week, working on finishing his degree.**  We have one adorable 5 1/2 year-old malti-poo who is our fur-baby, and, (since losing our incredible Pyr in June), are looking forward to adopting a white German Shepherd puppy in the coming weeks/months, too!

Nice to meet you all and hope your stay in TTGP is short!

LadyMillil

I intro'd many cycles ago, so here's my re-intro:

I'm 29 and finishing grad school. DH is 31. We've been together for almost 7 years, married in April 2014.

July 2014 I had my annual and mentioned to my doctor that we were planning on TTC soon. She did some pre-conception tests and found my iron was really low, so low that she couldn't believe I wasn't frequently passing out. She put me on iron supplements and strongly advised that I did not start TTC until my iron levels were normal. It was mid-January before my levels were normal. I was in the middle of a big experiment at work that I couldn't work on if I was pregnant due to chemicals causing fetal harm, which would end early March, so we waited until then to start TTC. It was clear pretty early that I was ovulating but I had bleeding starting at 1dpo and lasting all through my LP until AF arrived. I started testing with my PCP in July 2015, was sent to an OB October 2015. The OB completed an infertility workup, diagnosed me with infertility caused by abnormal, unexplained uterine bleeding and referred me to an RE. There was close to a 3 month wait at the RE so my appointment isn't until February. 

LovestruckAJ

Hi ladies!
I was somewhat active on the board while TTC #1. Lately I've just been a dirty lurker to get a feel for the culture of the board. I'm glad to see some of the snark & real knowledge/advice has stuck around. 

After we get the go ahead (hopefully) from my Dr this week, we'll be TFAS. DS took 2 years to conceive so expectations are low this time around. If any good came from the wait, it was the knowledge I gained from this board.

Between being a night shift nurse & having a toddler who has recently decided he doesn't want to sleep in his room at night, I probably won't be (successfully) temping this time around. I'm actually a bit nervous about being pregnant on a night shift, but I know it can be done! Well, enough rambling. Nice to meet you ladies!!

SnobunnieMel

So I guess it's time to jump on the intro-wagon si ce I am finally starting to get a little more active in the WTO/TWW boards this month. The DH and I are both 30, together for 10 1/2 years, married since November of 2011.

We are parent to two adorable Alaskan malamutes who combines outweighs either of us. We decided to finally start our TTC journey in November after almost an entire relationship of partial long distance thanks for professional sports and furthering degrees. We actually enjoy living together so much (who would have guessed!) that we want to add to our broad. Currently on our third cycle after IUD removal and first with a +O on opk and temps. Very exciting stuff for a PCOS, endometriosis, LEEP and polyp gal. 

Currently the DH and I both work in the medical field, he does sales but is trying for law school to do environmental law and I do reconstructive plastics and hand trauma surgery  we both seem to love nonstop action and chaos

Hi everyone! I've lurked here for awhile (like 5 months) but have only participated on BOTB a little bit.

I'm 24 (25 in Feb) and my husband is 25. We've been married for a little over a year. I was diagnosed with PCOS in high school and was put on birth control to stop my constant, daily bleeding. I came off birth control in September in hopes of starting our TTC journey now. I started temping right away because I love the science behind it all. However, I never got a withdrawal bleed/period after stopping birth control and took Provera the last week of November. I got a period the first week of December but nothing has happened since then. I'll be calling this week to set up another doctor appointment if I don't get a period or ovulate by February.

I'll probably continue to mostly lurk until my body decides to do something productive! We're the only people in our friend group even considering having a baby so this board helps me immensely since I have no one in real life to discuss it with!

Oh oh my turn!!

Started actively trying DEC 2014. Lab work up nine months later pointed to hashimotos causing hypothyroidism. Incidental thyroid cancer followed. Treated and now survivor status. Just started cycle 3 post treatment.

Dh and I were married in may 2014. We enjoy extemded backpacking trips in the wilderness, photography and traveling. I knit, love to cook, and am training for a marathon.

DH is a network security engineer and for the next couple of years we will be moved around quite often to take full advantage of career opportunities and access to more upward mobility. This means that it is difficult for me to have a career. That was fine since the plan was for me to be a SAHM. Never dreamed id have this much trouble. Prior to married life, I was an early childhood educator and then a developmental specialist in a shelter.

TB has been a lifesaver for me. Moving around is lonley and infertility is lonely and cancer is lonely. So this board helped me through what I hope will be the lonliest time of my life. Thanks for the comradary and support.

**This is a duplicate post. I originally posted in the wrong spot & when I as made aware if my mistake I also made a copy here**

Hello my fellow TB members, 

I have spent some time "lurking" the boards before making my own account by looking at different threads with my co-worker when she would go on here (which was quite often) at work. I decided to make my own account and join the community  

A little backstory:

DH and I went from NTNP to TTC in July 2015 and have been having fun TTC   We thought we may have been successful a couple months ago but a HPT was BFN. We were disappointed but we know that it can take a year for a healthy couple to conceive and so we didn't let our hopes get too high while waiting to take the test. I missed / never got a visit from AF in November and I did not get a visit from AF in December either. AF has always been pretty consistent with her visits (give or take a day or two "early" or "late") so I am going on approximately 70 days since my last visit from AF. I have taken a couple HPTs since the first one I took which were all BFN as well.

I am not sure why AF hasn't come since last time but I have an appointment with my gyno coming up in a couple weeks to have a Pap-smear (think that's how it's spelled) so I figured I will mention it to my gyno at that time and see what she says / thinks / etc. Note: I have NOT been on any BC or other medications either.

Not sure what else to add here (with out risking this becoming too long or too "rambly"). If I forgot to mention anything / if you have questions, I am an open book.

Well I am going to go back to lurking some more.

dominiquelee

Joined and lurking away for now. Not actively TTC yet but I like to be informed and part of a community.

Hi ladies, I guess I'm jumping in!

***Trigger warning, loss mentioned***

My husband and I were married in May 2014 and we decided to NTNP on our honeymoon. We got incredibly lucky and our son was born 9 months later (he will be 1 in February).

Our road since then has been rocky: as our plan was always to have kids as close together as possible, we started TTC as soon as my period returned after I delivered DS. It took 5 months to get our BFP, only to miscarry about 6 weeks later. It was devastating, needless to say. It's been way harder to deal with all the ensuing emotion than I ever thought it would, and even though we started TTC again about 6 weeks later, I haven't been able to participate in this community until now. Everything here was just too REAL.

Anyway, we're about 5 months into our current TTC journey and I'm really looking forward to becoming a part of this community. TB was a huuuuuge part of my first pregnancy and the girls from my BMB are still a lifeline to me. I love the all the snark, the honest answers and (above all) the true sense of support and family that exists among those who regularly participate.

Wishing everyone the best of luck in their TTGP journey!

Hi all. Been here a while but why not, I'm bored. 

I'm a horse trainer-turned-nursing student set to graduate in May, H is a middle school English teacher. We've been married for a year and a half. He's a big gaming nerd and I enjoy photography and training dogs. We have a Border Collie and two ferrets. We live in MN but I'm originally from the OR coast. We both were really looking forward to starting a family but had a hard time pulling the trigger. I went off birth control and started charting so that my body would be ready as soon as our brains were.

*pregnancy/loss mention* We were more on the TTA side of things and got increasing blase about it. I got a BFP right before Halloween. I went for an 8 week ultrasound and we found that the baby had stopped growing at around 5 or 6. I had a D&E a couple weeks later. It was heart rending for both of us but if any good came of it, I suppose it made us realize how beyond ready we were for a family. 

We are trying again right away and currently still dealing with post-loss weirdness with my cycle. Personal experience aside, reproductive health is my passion (first with animals, now with people). I hope to make that my professional focus one day, so I love sticking around here to learn more about TTC, pregnancy, birth, IF, loss, babies, all of it.

As many others, this is a re-intro as I posted an intro a couple of weeks ago...

I am 31 and my DH is just about to turn 33.  We are both CPAs and live in Michigan.  We got married in June 2015 and bought a house this fall in which we brought home a little puppy the same day we moved in (not ideal timing to say the least, but that's the way it worked!).  We got our puppy at 8 weeks old from a rescue, her mom was rescued while pregnant.  She is yellow lab mixed with something!  We are starting to think she may be a yellow lab/border collie mix, but who knows.  We love her to pieces and can't wait to have a little baby for her to meet.  Someday...

As for our TTC journey - I came off BCP in August 2015 and started using OPKs and TTC in September.  I have relatively short cycles (typically 26-27 days), so we are currently on cycle 6 of TTC.  I didn't start temping until this cycle, because to be honest, I was really hoping we would be successful in the first few months, but I surrendered.  Our timing has been awesome every cycle, so naturally I'm getting nervous, but I know it can take time.  Feeling positive this month and trying to keep that mentality!  Happy to have all of you along for the ride with me.  

MrsBinPA

I did an intro a week or 2 ago but...

**TW precious BFPs/Losses mentioned**
I am 36, DH is 37. We've been married since December 2014. I went off BCP October 2014 after being on it MANY years. I got KTFU the first time in Jan 2015 and was honestly so socked it happened so fast. We were basicall NTNP. I have a prolactinoma which was Dx in 2000 so expected that getting KU would be a significant challenge. I had a MC in week 6. Fast forward to October. After >6 months of trying without any luck & inconsistent cycle lengths, I scheduled with RE. I saw him on CD26 and he told me I hadn't O'd yet but it looked like soon. I hadn't gotten a +OPK despite many days testing so I had given up. I wasn't temping (I know, I know). I started by with OPK the next day and BAM +. I got another BFP and then another loss again in week 6 the week of Thanksgiving. Induced with misoprostol & passed everything on my own.

I've started TTC again with 100mg clomid per RE suggestion.

For now I have these 2 beautiful fur babies:

***losses mentioned***

Hello!  I was active on my BMB in April 2015, but haven't been active much since.  I've been lurking this board as my husband and I have started the process of trying for another baby.  My son is 9 months old now, but if history repeats itself it will be awhile before we actually have another successful pregnancy.  Before I got pregnant with #1, we had three miscarriages in a row.  Last month was our first month trying after I had him, and we miscarried again.  The good news is, I'm ovulating so hopefully no Clomid this time and hopefully the next pregnancy sticks!

I'm finishing up grad school to be a pediatric acute care nurse practitioner so I'm as much of a SAHM as I can be right now until school is finished (although I spent >30 hours/week at the hospital for clinicals).  My husband is a family practice physician.  We have two dogs and recently bought a bigger house since we are wanting to expand our family.  Nice to meet you ladies!

MrsTianna16

Hello ladies,

My name is Tianna (32) and my Husband (36) and I have been trying since 2014 with no success then finding out in July of 2015 I had fibroids but has since been removed. I have a son and my husband has a daughter.. So we're ready for our first together.. Hopefully we'll get our baby this year...

hunnybunny17

I've been around these parts for a while now (since July), so I'll re-intro too.

I am 25, DH is 33. We've been TTC #1 (OAD?) since I went off the patch in March 2015 after briefly being on it. I was diagnosed with PCOS in August after bringing up rarely ovulating and my irregular menstrual history at my annual. I have been seeing an RE since October and doing medicated cycles. I have a genetic condition called Spondylocostal Dysostosis* which may or may not make pregnancy tricky. I've been to a genetic counselor (Dec 2014) and a MFM (Mar 2015) who gave me the all-clear to TTC; something I only dreamed of hearing my whole life and wasn't sure would come true. A bit of background: DH is active duty Air Force, which has made timing tricky some cycles. My long-term career plans are on hold indefinitely; I have a BA in Anthropology. I love science. It's my favorite. In conclusion, wine.

***TW losses***

I joined TTGP in June 2015 and am now back again. DH is 34, I am 29 and we've been married for 9 years. I stopped using BCPS in Spring 2014, and we were amazed to see a BFP after a few cycles of NTNP. That pregnancy was lost just shy of 6 weeks, and it took us 15 months to conceive again (and we were actively trying this time, with good timing). I miscarried my second pregnancy naturally at 12+1, baby stopped growing at 8w. Benched for a cycle and starting infertility testing.

We live in the Twin Cities (Minneapolis-St Paul metro) and have 2 dogs and 2 cats. In the summer months we can be found backpack camping and hiking to our hearts' delight. I have been seeing an acupuncturist since the cycle I got pregnant the second time, and strongly believe in the power of Eastern medicine. Hopefully it will help me get pregnant again, without having to wait another 15 months.

sjo_thetwins

Hi everyone! My wife is 40 and I am 25, and we are trying to start a family. I have PCOS and endometriosis. We have had two IUIs done naturally, one on clomid, and the one we are doing this month is on a combo of letrozole with Gonal-f injections. I've looked at several boards/communities and have found none as informative or helpful as this one. I surfed and searched and read through the board and am glad to be a new member! Trying to go get pregnant is the hardest thing we have had to do and it's nice to have other ladies to talk to about it. Cheers to everyone!

***TW loss mentioned****
Hello All.  My name is Danni. I'm 36 and DH is 33.  In his mind we are NTNP, but in my mind we are TTC.  I stopped BCPS in late August.  I got a BFP mid October but had a MC one week later.  I've been lurking for a while, but decided to make myself more official.  

Amanda*RN

Hi everyone!
I have been lurking here for a little over a month and decided to join in. I'm 31 and DH is 32. We have been trying for #2 since Novmeber (I was on mirena). We have a DD who is 2. So far I have just been tracking what I *think* has been my cycle using a calendar app. I think this next cycle I am going to try OPKs and tracking CM/CP. I am nervous about temping because I am an RN (critical care) and I do work night shift. I think that might cause more frustration than anything. So we will see how it goes!

briannamarieL

Hey ladies! I'm 22 my DH is 23! We are currently TTC baby number 1. My DH is active duty Marine Corps and recently returned from a 8 month deployment so I am super excited to have him home with me and extend our little family! This is our second month TTC, I'm currently CD 13 and in my FW! WOO HOO. Hoping this month is our month! I look forward to getting to know some of you ladies & good luck to everyone!

jhope1991

Hi all my name is Jazz. I'm 24 TTC baby #1 with the hubby. We have been TTC since 2010 and had no success. Im trying something new this year. I joined the bump to have support from others in the same boat as me and we have also changed our eating habits while using the clear blue fertility monitor starting January 22, 2016. I look forward to meeting everyone and looking for a BFP this cycle.

gonetothesea

Wow, I just noticed that this was pinned to the top of the page. Whoops.

I'm gonetothesea! I am 30, and my husband is 32. We live in Florida, very close to the House of Mouse. We have 2 bratty cats.

We have been married since October 2014, and started to TTC right away. It was too much pressure for my husband, so we took a break. We just recently started to TTC again 5 months ago. I have had some wacky cycles, so it has been difficult at times.

I am a fan of everything 1950s, Mad Men, Parks and Rec, The Office, desserts, cats, sleep, and podcasts. (This American Life, Story Corps, and Mortified are my favorites).

It's been a pleasure getting to know all of y'all, you beautiful tropical fish! (We can be best friends if you get that reference.)
