Re: Newbie Intro Thread Week of July 3
DH and I have been together for about four years, and got married this past October, and right after that, we moved across the country for his job! Lots of changes all at once, but the fact that we wanted to start TTC this summer has not changed! I'll be turning 35 next month as well, and he's 37. We have two cats that are ridiculous but wonderful. Looking forward to getting to know you all and getting some advice! I have about 9000 questions and a ton of fear.
I'm TTC #2. I was a member (mostly lurker) last time around on TTGP and it helped me a lot so I'm back this time
Ages (you and SO): 30 & 30
How many months have you been TTC? 3
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Sex EOD. I'm charting but not temping right now. Last time TTC I loved temping and charting but it stressed my husband out being so regimented and obsessed with temping and looking at results and blah blah blah so I'm trying to not do that at first.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I have a 1.5 yo son. And a kitty. I am an engineer (hence loving the charting). And I just starting coaching all star cheerleading again after a few years off!
*TW*
Last time TTC was tough for us. I have endometriosis which brings some challenges when TTGP. And I had 2 losses before my successful pg.
End *TW*
This board really helped me cope and understand what I could do to maximize my chances TTGP so I'm happy to be back.

What are you doing to get knocked up: temping tracking on FF
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We love to golf in the summer and have one furry pup named Zuri. Been lurking for a while but decided to join because the longer you try I think the harder it is for people in your life to understand what it's like.
Background: not sure if this is TW but did 3 rounds of ivf in previous marriage due to mostly male factor infertility. I tested normal on all levels but then failed to produce quality eggs during ivf. At this point I'm unsure what my eggs are like but I have reg cycles so trying it natural for a while. End possibleTW.
Looking forward to getting to know you ladies!

I am 25 and DH is 27. We have been tentatively trying for 6 months now but no luck so far! I say tentatively because I am not tracking or temping, just having plain ol' unprotected sex! Anxiety is the main reason I'm not super active in TTC.
My DS was born Dec 2015! My pregnancy was rough with Morning sickness for most of it, followed by an "allergy" to the surplus of hormones that came from final weeks of being pregnant, which caused my entire body to be covered in hives from 35 weeks - three weeks post partum. I was induced at 37 weeks because of it. So that was unfortunate and makes me nervous about being pregnant again.
We have two dogs and two cats and are West Coast Canadians! I am an LPN but only working casually because I am very lucky to be able to be a SAHM (my dream job!!) ❤️ DH is a commercial pilot!
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself because I know how important the support of people going through similar things is!
Ages: 31 and DH is 34
How many months have you been TTC? Just started
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Charting, bbt and will probably opk in the next couple months
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I have one amazing DS who is 19 months old and one energetic chocolate lab puppy.
I'm starting early with the ttgp group because there is a chance that I will struggle to conceive naturally if at all. I was diagnosed with Cancer 2 months after DS was born and had to go through chemo. There wasn't a lot of data on whether the type of treatment I had would affect my fertility, so we are hoping for the best!! I've been in remission for about a year so now I got the go ahead to try for our next LO. I do have embryos preserved so if I have trouble I at least have a backup plan! Excited to get to know all of you through this journey
Hope your stay here is short!

@smm1118 Sorry to hear about your health struggles but I'm glad you're in remission. GL TTC, I hope everything goes smoothly.
Welcome!
How many months have you been TTC? I just went off the pill this month.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? I'm charting and temping mostly to see how my body is adjusting to being off the pill.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) This will be our first baby. We have a 9 month old puppy as well. We got married last June and recently bought our first house. I work in HR and I absolutely love my job.
I was also diagnosed with complex partial seizure disorder about 5 years ago. I'm on 400mg of lamictal for the seizures and 75mg of topamax for my migraines. I have an appointment with my doctor this week but I feel pretty good given everything I've been reading here and online.
Super excited to be here!
Ages (you and SO): 30 and 40
How many months have you been TTC? 3 months
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? OPK and Temping. I still breastfeed my daughter at night and went 2 full years without my period. I'm taking vitamins to regulate my cycle and have seen improvement.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We were married in September of 2013 and have a daughter named Avery who turned 2 in April. We have two dogs: an 11 year old female GSD named Luca and a 6 year old male Pomeranian chihuahua mix named Minion. I work full time as Head of Account Services at a marketing and advertising agency in NYC. Two of the days I work from home and watch my daughter. Hubs is in the FDNY. We live in a beachy community on Long Island near most of our family. We enjoy going on vacations, watching movies, and BBQing with friends in our backyard. I personally enjoy hobby photography and love taking candid pictures of my family. I am also a certified birth doula, and hope to someday quit work in advertising and focus solely on my doula and birth services business.
Looking forward to getting to know you all and supporting our journeys!
