Re: Newbie Intros w/o 5/27
We are 31 & 32.
We've been TTC for 5 months
Cycle tracking using OPKs, CP and CM
We live in the country near Portland, OR. SO is about to finish up 4 years of night school. We're building a hobby farm, and trying to take more time to enjoy the little things in life. Look forward to getting to know everyone!
**TW loss mentioned below**
Ages (you and SO): 33, my husband is 32
How many months have you been TTC?: 1/1 AL
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: PNV, temping; but currently waiting to hear what the OB says
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I have two little ones (4 and 2) and I love running. Sadly, I find myself back here and am currently experiencing the loss of pregnancy #3.
I was on TTGP back in the winter of 2018/2019 but life got crazy and I tapered off posting. I am still active in my April 2015 and June 2017 BMBs. I hope we are all here for a very short time. Nice to “meet” everyone.
@tyrion_ I’m so sorry you’re experiencing a loss. Please feel free to join us in the TTCAL (Trying To Conceive After Loss) thread within this board. Everyone there can relate, unfortunately. Hugs to you!❤️
@tyrion_ I'm so sorry for your loss. ❤
Ages (you and SO): I am 29 and SO is 30
How many months have you been TTC?: We are going to start trying for number 2 this month!
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: I did all the things when TTGP with DS and since giving birth have been pretty aware of when (I believe) good old O is occurring. Because of this, I am hoping I can get away with just using FF app and OPKs to confirm. Stay tuned though!
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I am a proud mama to a 17 month old little man, a spunky 4 year old chocolate lab, and a crazy cat. I currently am out numbered because they are all males so we’re crossing our fingers for a girl this time around but I honestly would be fine being the only woman in my house if that’s how it works out. I was on here when trying to conceive my first and had some issues conceiving due to being overweight. I have recently lost 30 pounds and am hoping for a quicker TTC journey this time around. I really enjoyed the support I received and was able to give on here last time and know I couldn’t do this all again without it. I really look forward to starting this journey here and gettingto know all of you lovely ladies!

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.):
As mentioned above, we have one LC who will be two in a couple of weeks. We also have a black lab, Indy. We live in Vermont and are DIY renovating an 1895 farmhouse. I'm the director of a nonprofit, and I also do hand-lettering and was a wedding photographer for 10 years before stopping in 2018. I love laughing and making other people laugh.
I was active on TTGP while TTC#1, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and seeing what the new vibe is like.
Oh... and I love GIFs. GIFs are my love language. So much so that I wrote the "how to GIF" thread way back when.

@WorkingOnMyNightCheese I recognize your name from either TTGP or June 17. My daughter will be 2 on Friday and I was active as MotherofDragons in TTGP and the J17 bmb.
Life got wild right before my daughter was born so I stopped updating in June 17, but hello! Excited to see someone familiar.

Another New Englander here. (Boston suburbs) I was active in the Dec16 BMB and now we moved to a private group.
@whitealbum29 Are you near Portland? For a long time my face was on the banner they flew downtown for the Portland Symphony. If it is still there, they really need to update their marketing, haha!

@shamrocandroll Nice! I might know some of the music teachers that were at your high school. That area has such good schools IMO!

Hey guys.
@WorkingOnMyNightCheese @tyrion_ I thought you both looked familiar! Heeeyyy!!!
Ages (you and SO): 36, 42
How many months have you been TTC?: Not officially trying just yet, but we are getting close...
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Going back to the RE for our first TFAS f/u appointment and CD3 testing later this month. Hoping to get a good gameplan and at least a loose timeline, ramping up to FET prep over the next few. So far I've added back PNVs, DHA, Calcium, Vitamin E, lower/ slower carb for weightloss, and recently stopped pumping as well. :cry:
<span>Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I was active on TTGP from about Nov or Dec 2015 to Dec 2017, while we TdTC our first. Now, we are lucky enough to have our great big LO, almost 9 mos, who is our first little miracle! The product of one sperm retrieval, two egg retrievals, and our second FET. We are Catholic, too, which has been a bit of a struggle for us as it relates to IVF, so here we are, on a mission to transfer each of our remaining embies. And stay married! </span> :D
We have two doggies and live in a big ole rented farmhouse. Since we've been married, we closed one construction business and started another; chalk it all up as part of the adventure! I guess that's it for now. Looking forward to the next chapter for everyone here... ❤

If you Google countdown tickers etc., a couple different sites like that will come up, and then I just browsed the options. I don't remember what I have but I seem to remember babycenter had some, too. :# tickerfactory looks familiar, babysizer has them, too. Sorry I'm no help! I'll have to sit down on desktop one of these days and take a peek.
