Tell us about yourself: H and I have been married about five years, we have two cats and a dog, and we love cooking, gardening, and watching TV (lol). We're both under stay-at-home orders currently, so I'm working from home and he is getting a ton of housework and yard work done! Starting TTC during this crazy time has been weird and I'm definitely fixating on it more than I think I would have otherwise, so that's what brought me here- looking forward to getting to know you all.
Hello! I’m not entirely sure if I belong here just yet so let me know if now’s not the time just yet and I’ll scadoodle on out, no worries!
Ages (you and SO): 28 (me) 27 (DH)
How many months have you been TTC?: 0
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: NTNP - hence why I’m not sure if I belong here. We were going to start TTC towards the end of the year but with everything going on and so many cancellations and questions hanging in the air we’ve started to lean towards NTNP but more on the not trying part.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I’m an active user on the inactive BOTB board and I’m a long time on-and-off lurker so I feel a bit creepy that I know some of your stories 👀 No kids, one fur baby Frankie who is a 1 year old black lab, border collie mix. I’m a sales account manager at a company that sells any and all theater equipment but I’m on furlough for the foreseeable future so I’m doing nada at the moment. I have a wide range of hobbies because I’m incredibly indecisive 🤷🏻♀️
@jackie_dunny hello familiar face 🙂 I think most of us are in NTNP states right now either due to IF treatments being cancelled or because mass chaos in the world so you're in similar company. Welcome!
