Hi! I'm 27 and my husband is 33, we just got married in January. We just started TTC this month, I had my Paragard IUD removed last week and we are so excited to start this journey! So far we are just trying to have fun and not think too hard about any specific methods to get pregnant, besides having lots of sex lol. I track my cycles but don't use OPKs or take my BBT...yet. We will see how things go over the next few months and will probably start using those methods if I'm not pregnant by the end of summer. I have a 6 year old daughter from a previous relationship and my husband has made a wonderful father figure for her over the last 4 years. We are so looking forward to making our blended family bigger!

Hi, I am 34 and my DH is 33. We just got married in January. I am a nurse and DH is a physician. We love to travel, try new restaurants, spend time with family... I have a wonderful 7 year old daughter from a previous marriage and it took us 19 months of actively TTC for her so I have no idea what to expect now that I am almost 10 years older! My DH is great with her and I’m just so excited to see her as a sister. I had my IUD removed in March. We’ve been TTC for 2 month. I am doing PNV, BBT, FF, CoQ10, myoinositol, and OPKs. Plan for next month is to see my OB for metformin since that’s what worked for me with DD.

@kagesstarshroom found it 😉 thank you ♥️

@heyyydayyy 👋🏻 that’s the best approach is to just have fun! 

@tensparkles 👋🏻 traveling is my dream!! Hope it doesn’t take you guys as long this time 😉

Ages (you and SO): I’m 36 and DH is 37 

How many months have you been TTC?: 2 months

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Good old fashioned FWP everyday 😉

Tell is about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I have 16, and 15 yo girls from a previous marriage and a 7 yo autistic boy with my current husband. I was also a surrogate and that boy just turned 9. My husband and I are high school sweethearts (he had broke up with me, we reconnected 10 years later) and he has been an amazing stepfather and father to our kids. We are really nervous about having another child on the spectrum but are willing to take that journey if it’s what happens. 

We have 2 dogs.. a papillon/chihuahua mix and a beagle

I am a huge arts and crafts geek and I love singing, and I am a SAHM.

I look forward to meeting everyone and helping out as much as I can 😁😁😁😁

@jaclynnb24 ^_~* / Omg I feel like I was accidentally tagging someone else instead of you previously bc I forgot that b at the end of your handle-- maybe? I am too embarrassed to go back and check. ALSO, the FWP acronym sent me to the glossary lol! good one.

Hi All! 
I’m 24 and my DH is 27. We’ve been married for 4 years and decided that now is the time to start trying. I got my ParaGuard IUD out a few weeks ago and we excited to give this a go! 

We are surrounded by big families and have lots of nieces and nephews we enjoy loving on. We spend and lot of time traveling and cuddling with our pups. We live on a small farm and my DH puts up with all the animals I continue to bring home 🤗 

Cant wait to get to know you all!

@jaclynnb24 welcome! DH and I are HS sweethearts too! We dated from grade 8-10, broke up, then got back together right after HS.

jaclynnb24

@kagesstarshroom lol maybe whoever you were tagging has long moved on 😉😁 and that acronym I found was the most accurate lol 😂 

@m6agua awww 🥰 crazy how things happen the way they do ♥️

+1 for not knowing what FWP meant.  

brookert615

Now let's all use FWP in a sentence for our homework today lol.

kagesstarshroom

@brookert615 Yes, teacher.

The cats in our neighborhood who hang out in our yard FWP way too often and make more cats, which is terribly annoying bc I am tired of stepping in street cat poop. But they are cats, and know no other way to F. But I still don't forgive them.

That is three sentences, though, oops.

Welcome @heyyydayyy, @tensparkles, @jaclynnb24 & @knottiea428f9a20528b5bd

knottiea428f9a20528b5bd When you get a chance can you update your username? It's hard for us to distinguish and tag you!

@kagesstarshroom YES!

shamrocandroll

@brookert615 I hurt myself last night while trying to FWP with my currently-mobility-restricted husband, and now I feel old. 

brookert615

@shamrocandroll Bahah!

Okay I'll do one.

I'm nervous for my next FW because we will be in a tent in the woods with our friends camping around us - little do they know we will be FWP all weekend  . 

Edit: Spacing.

inthewoods23

@brookert615 get it girl! Lol just tell them there was a raccoon wandering near your tent

b_1029

FWP is the best acronym I've ever seen. Thank you for introducing us @jaclynnb24 way more fun to say than HIO or BD. 

brookert615

@inthewoods23 Those dang raccoons! LOL


@b_1029 Totally agree! It's so fun to say lol

Hi, all the new people. 

My H was confused and disturbed when I explained FWP. 

jaclynnb24

@b_1029 I wish I could take credit for FWP but it was put there before my time in the glossary 😜 

@brookert615 my DH and I better be FWP if we are purposely trying for a baby 😁 and how fun to be “in a tent with a raccoon” in the woods!! Get it girl!!

@shamrocandroll oh no!! My DH is all kinds of snap crackle and pop too!! I always offer a walker to him.. he just keeps telling me to shut up 🤔🤔 lol

basicb94
