Hello,

I'm new here! My name is Ellyse and I'm 29. My husband is 35. We've been TTC for 2 months now. In terms of what we're trying to do, I recently started using ovulation tests in the hopes that helps. Other suggestions are appreciated! 

We recently got married (August 2019) and have a 5.5 year old Australian Shepherd named Geoege who is the centre of our world. My husband has a beautiful 14.5 year old daughter from a previous relationship. 

Looking forward to getting to know more folks on their journeys to parenthood.

Hello, I'm Toy. My husband and I are both 29. We've been married for 3 years and have a mini doxie named Harley Quinn. We were pregnant about 5 years ago but miscarried at 15 weeks. We've been unofficially trying to conceive (again) since we got married, but I've only recently decided to really focus on it. I've had numerous procedures in hopes that I can conceive, but nothing yet. I was recently diagnosed with PCOS and diabetes but my levels were fairly normal when I had them checked last. I'm getting healthier overall, taking prenatals, charting my temps, and tracking ovulation and hoping for baby dust.

@toyteach Hi Toy and welcome to TB. Sorry for your loss and your tough journey TTC. I hope your stay here is short. Feel free to join us in any of the daily threads as well as there is a great support from all the ladies in the TTCAL thread. Look forward to getting to know you.

@ebaer welcome welcome!! Along with OPKs you can also chart your BBT and track your CM and take prenatal Vitamins. My hubby also has a daughter from a previous relationship as well.

Thanks @mindyb2019
I've been taking prenatal vitamins for a few months as per my doctor's request. 
I have been tracking my CM, however not my BBT. I'll look into that

Hello again! I posted a bit in January I wasn't able to keep up so I thought I would reintroduce myself. 

Ages (you and SO): both 31

How many months have you been TTC?: 5 months

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: OPK's, tracking on Premom app and I should be better about taking PNVs. 

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): Our first son will be 2 in a month and a half. We have a dog and a cat and we are both currently working from home with the toddler at home. Does showering count as a hobby?

@krash_ welcome back! I remember you from a few months ago. Although my first thought was "omg have I been lapped??" 😅 Everything is a blur since I've been here for so long. Oye...
