Re: Newbie Intro Thread- Week of 8-14
How many months have you been TTC? I'm in the TWW of our second month actively trying. Before that, we had eight months of NTNP.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? PNVs, OPK (CBAD and cheapies), Ovia app. I'll probably start temping next month if we don't get our BFP this month, especially since I ovulated earlier than usual this month and almost missed it--CBAD went straight to a solid smiley this month, unlike six days of flashing smileys last month.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We've been together for 11 years and married for 6; no kids yet, but we're hoping to change that. We have a cat who thinks he's a dog. I love wineries, tacos, podcasts, and too much TV. I'm also a crazy football and hockey fan!
Since I'm trying not to talk to people about TTC IRL, I'm looking forward to being a part of the community here!

Hi everyone!
Ages (you and SO): I am 26, my husband is 32
How many months have you been TTC? 16 months
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? OPKs, just started temping again, had been in the past but life got crazy and it got away from me! I have an appointment today for Progesterone and AMH testing, and my husband is going this week for SA. Nervous and very impatient for our Sept 11 appt to get the results!
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc) We do not have any kids, but we do have 3 crazy dogs. For "fun" we always have about a dozen halfway finished home improvement projects that we swear will be finished someday. We also enjoy jeeping and binge watching awesome netflix series.
Like you, @peaceloveandwine, I haven't really shared much with friends and nothing with family, so also really looking forward to being a part of the community here!

How many months have you been TTC? We started TTC #2 in February. I have PCOS and don't ovulate/get periods on my own. We knew this already so got started with an RE for testing and medicated IUI cycles April-June and *TW* our third IUI got me pregnant. Unfortunately it wasn't a viable pregnancy, and I had a d&c last week. */TW* On the very, very off chance I ovulate on my own my RE says it's fine to get pregnant, but he won't start medicated cycles again until October. I don't really fit in anywhere in particular right now, but technically I am still TTC so I hope you ladies don't mind if I join you I was semi active on this board TTC our first and very active on my BMB. I've been on the infertility board too, but the IUI threads are kind of dead.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? At this moment just recovering from my d&c. I'll probably start temping again and I'm on a PNV and metformin for my PCOS. When I have my f/u appointment in October I'll get another SHG to make sure my lining still looks good and then we'll start medicated IUIs again.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) DH and I have been married 9 years, and we have one child who is 2.5. We also have two cats. I work as an RN one night a week and get to stay home with our son the rest of the time which I love. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and I could read and reread the books forever. I also love to gif!

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) My DH and I have been married for about 2 yrs now but have been together just over 8 yrs total.

Age: I'm 25 my DH is 26
How many months TTC: this is our first month trying! We've been NTNP for about 4 months.
What are you doing to get knocked up: so far just tracking my cycle and trying during the few days before, then during and after ovulation. I have endometriosis and my cycle can be very irregular so tracking isn't always easy but we're going to start there and see how it goes.
About me: DH and I have been married for 2 years and together for 5 years. I'm a SAHM to a gorgeous funny little girl, she's 18 months old. We enjoy hiking and being outside, our daughter is a little adventurer too! I also enjoy playing the piano and reading. I used the bump app while I was pregnant with DD so I'm excited to be back in the community!

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) My husband and I live in the SF Bay Area. We started dating on and off in highschool, but have been consistently together for 11 years, married for 4. We have a black lab/pointer mix who LOVES to cuddle. I am a tax accountant (boring I know), and my husband is retired Army (medically retired about 5 years ago). My husband just finished school, so we waited to TTGP until he was finished. We are hoping to relocate to the DC/N. VA area in the next year or so. Hobbies include cooking, eating, and traveling. We are currently vacationing in Sun Valley Idaho after spending the last week in Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. Enjoying Idaho for a bit for the total Eclipse. Happy to be on the TTGP board and looking forward to connecting with everyone.

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): My husband and I just celebrated our first wedding anniversary in July. We are both from Canada's west-coast but have had to move prairie-bound for work (and I miss the ocean dearly). I work in policy advocacy and strategic communications for a non-profit organization and he works in finance. I enjoy hiking in the Rockies, watching comedy (especially political comedies), and swimming in all of the lakes, all of the time (but unfortunately my lake-season only lasts 1.5 months/year on average).
I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Ages (you and SO): both mid 30s
