  • @Mmyles87 welcome!!! I hope your stay here is short! 
  • Ages (you and SO): I'm 24 and my boyfriend is 26.

    How many months have you been TTC? This will be our first month.

    What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Right now we're not trying anything special apart from the deed itself. It took 6 months with my son to get pregnant so I'm in no rush to be trying anything else right now.

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I have a 14 month old son (July 2016), I work in a nursing home and while I'm enjoying the job it's very hard to be away from baby so much. My boyfriend and I have been together 5 years and still no sign of marriage ha! I say the next baby will come first. 

    I'm hoping my stay here is short and wishing all of you ladies lots of luck!

  • Hi All!  I mostly lurk but figured I’d introduce myself in case I decide to become more of an active member.

    Ages (you and SO): 
    33 and DH - 39

    How many months have you been TTC? 2

    What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? HIO is all...for now

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We have an almost 2 year old DD and have just decided to start trying for another baby. We live in the Midwest where I’m an accountant for a large corporation.

    I was in the Jan16 BMB but mostly lurked. I am hoping to be a little more active this time around.

    Good luck to everyone here smile

  • Ages (you and SO): I’m 33 and my husband is 31.

    What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? OPKs

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.)

    Hello everyone! My husband and I have one son, Finn, who is three years old. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve been on here! We also have one rescue dog named Burton.  I’m a nurse who works every weekend, so not a lot of time for hobbies but my husband and I love working out together. I teach a Fit4Mom class every Wednesday and would love to get into more group fitness teaching. 

    I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids about a year before I had my son. They grew during pregnancy and caused me to give birth prematurely at 34 weeks. After TTC unsuccessfully for about five months last year my OB decided to remove them, so I had an open myomectomy in February of this year with seven fibroids removed. We were told to wait six to nine months before TTC again, and so here we are! 

    Looking forward to talking with all of you! Sending good vibes to everyone!

  • Ages (you and SO): 34 (me), 35 (him)

    How many months have you been TTC? We are ready to start TTC next cycle.

    What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? We finally hit our 6 months home from Jamaica (pre-wedding vacation) in August, and had to set up quite a few specialist appointments - I have 2 clotting disorders, so we met with a new hematologist, a genetic counselor, and MFM prior to getting the OK to start TTC. We've been tracking my cycle for months, and I will have my IUD removed later this month so we can officially start.

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We got married March of this year, and two weeks before we got married I started new job. I work at a great hospital/rehab facility as an occupational therapist. We have a wonderful puppy together and can't wait to start a family with children too!

  • @Knottie1466994010 Welcome! If you wouldn't mind, can you change your screen name? It'll be so much easier for us all to tag you and have conversations with you. All those numbers will be hard to remember! To do this, you have to log into the Knot, change your screen name, log out of the Knot and the Bump, and log back into the Bump. If you have any problems, you can probably Google it or search it on the Bump! Thanks!

    Ages (you and SO): 27 & 29

    How many months have you been TTC? Started last month and waiting to test this week.

    What are you doing to get knocked up? Nothing special - tracking ovulation just by keeping track of start and end dates for period  

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.)

    Hello everyone! I am a veteran and my husband is in the military (how we met). I currently am a SAHM but hope to be back in school or full time job again after kid(s) are older. I have a daughter almost 2 and we are trying for our 2nd baby before my husband deploys (only have two months or so... otherwise will be back on here next year if we don't get pregnant now) We also have a dog, a pug named Harley and a cat named Lucy. I enjoy hiking and being outside though ever since my first pregnancy I have trouble tolerating heat. I usually lurk more than I post but I will try to be more active.

  • Thanks for pointing it out - I actually changed it last week (after googling how) but didn't realize I needed to log out and back in - so it should look better now.
