Hello all,
My husband and I are 32 years old, recently married almost 1 year ago and TTC for 7 months now. We are using OPK currently. Looking at BBT soon. We have a Rottie named Clover who will be 2 years old in a week and we have 9 baby chicks. We love to be outside and enjoy singing and playing music. Thanks for all the guidelines. I look forward to more discussions!

Hi!
I'm 36 and my husband is 33 and we have been married 2 years. We have been TTC for about a year now, with a few months benched. Most recently Dec '19 and Jan of this year as we went to a fertility doctor and had some genetic testing done. So far every test we have had has come back normal so as much as that is great is also is frustrating. Using OPK and BBT, tried preseed last month.

No kids but we have a yellow lab. She's crazy. I'm in IT and my husband is in education. We enjoy going going on random adventures and am dying to get out again after things settle down. I enjoy baking and working out so I can eat all the things. And I enjoy trashy TV, everything that is on Bravo.

I've been reading this forum for months now. Decided it might be time to interact as there's not many people in my circle of family and friends who understand what this feels like.

Welcome @baker_324 feel free to jump into the daily threads (WTO, TWW, our fun dailies) weekly or monthly threads like our randoms or baking and crafting threads, and possibly our infertility (IF) weekly thread if you feel like that community would be helpful to you. Feel free to take it at your own pace. Glad you're here! I hope your stay is short!

Hi @rottiemom33 I'll get our monthly chart stalk and questions thread bumped. If you have questions about BBT you can definitely ask there OR you can ask in the dailies (WTO or TWW). Lots of us have experience with tons of different cycle tracking methods. I also highly recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Glad to see you here!

Edited: CS/Q thread should be on the main page now

Hi I'm Casey and 36. My boyfriend Zach is 34.  We have been ttc for 4 months now. Basically I am just tracking and we are just seeing where it takes us 

In the past year, my divorce became final, I moved out of my house into an apartment, then townhouse with Zach then we bought a house a few months ago. We have a Weimaraner Retriever Mix and a Great Dane and we both was a child to add to our family. 
Three years ago I asked my ex for a divorce and the following day we found out our 3 year old daughter had brain cancer. Life was put on hold for two years until she passed. Zach was my stability and rock through it all and now we want a child of our own not to replace her but to grow our family.

I'm a farmer and an engineering project manager. I paint and hike as hobby's, love to workout and just be outside.  Yea.....sorry that's a lot...its been an intense few years

@mrsdoggett I am so terribly sorry for your loss and all that you have endured in the past few years. Your BF sounds like a real keeper, and I hope your time here in TTGP is short and sweet.

Hi Everyone, 
I joined the bump back in January when I got my BFP but before I could post in my BMB I had a MC unfortunately. We have been trying since July last year and after taking some time my husband encouraged me to join a support group since he can’t completely relate to me. So I would like to join in here if that is okay I’m 30 and DH is 33. I’ve been lurking the past two weeks so I hope I post in the right spot. I have not been tracking since my MC because it just felt like an extra burden at the time so I will likely just hang out in the general threads but I think I’m ready to jump back into everything next cycle. PMS should be coming sometime next week. Also I’m a huge golden girls fan It’s the wholesome content I have needed while TTGP.

Hi @mrsdaggett and welcome.  very sorry for your loss, i cannot imagine but think this is great you are here
Hi @kitchendisaster and welcome.  next week keep a look out for our AL thread (i forgot to start one this week).  i find that i can be very open here about my feelings AL and it filters me a bit with DH.  he doesn't need to hear every detail of my feelings, so i can share what he needs to know and still have an outlet for the rest.  

Hoping both your stays here are short and sweet!

Oh wow thanks that would be great!
