Ages (you and SO):
How many months have you been TTC?:
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?:
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.):
How many months have you been TTC?: This next cycle will be month 1
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Cp/cm and opk
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): DS is 16 months, we have 2 dogs, Milo (10) and Ferrari (5). I'm a sahm. I enjoy reading and watching movies, but between having bought a house about a month ago and DS there isn't much time for those.
Ages (you and SO): I just turned 30 this last weekend! 🎉 DH is 34.
How many months have you been TTC?: We made our decision +1 day past ovulation so officially starting next cycle. Still did BD +1 past OV but I’m not holding my breath.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: OPK, CM & Tempdrop. I’m used to using my Tempdrop and FAM as BC so it feels weird to be using it for opposite purposes!
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I have a dog (pomsky) named Teddy and a cat (red mac tabby) named Frank. My husband and I are self employed and I basically help with the businesses from home. We joke that I’m a stay at home fur momma. We’ve been married for 5 years and together for 7. We’ve waited for this for a long time as we had a lot to square away with our businesses and finances before we felt comfortable to TTC. These last few years have been incredibly blessed and I’m so excited to now be on this journey!
@luckylemon1018 OMG! I’d love a pomsky! What is his demeanor like?
@Kenneylynn3 congrats on the house! I have a 14 month old DD and two dogs, as well!
He’s super friendly and very intelligent, sometimes too smart for his own good lol. He’s a little high energy which is perfect for us and gets me out of the house and active but his size makes things manageable. I’ve heard that huskys have a reputation for not being the most loyal dogs but we haven’t found that to be true! I’m very much "his person". ❤️ So tempted to bring another one home and we probably will eventually after babies!
Ripping off the bandaid and jumping on in here because I think this is healthier than drowning myself in Oreos... (p.s. happy to see you @Kenneylynn3 😊)
Ages (you and SO): 37 (soon to be 38) and 39
How many months have you been TTC?: None - TW warning - we had a surprise pregnancy mid-May, but that ended in a miscarriage and D&C last Saturday.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Waiting until my body gets back to normal and then temping and some ovulation kits
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): We have 8 year old identical twin girls and a little boy who will be 16 months next week. We also have a giant, slobbery dog who I adore. I work in marketing, I really love woodworking, spending time with my family, being outside in the summer...and sleeping. I also love working out but I’ve fallen off the wagon.
How many months have you been TTC?: This is our first cycle trying, last cycle was NTNP.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: We are don't the BD for now.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): We have a 5 year old son. I was part of TTGP and N14 on the bump when we were trying and pregnant, but I haven't been on the Bump much since the blow up and restructuring that happened, was that 2015? We have a cat (fingers crossed for no litter box duty for 9 months). I WFT for a university. I like to read, hike, and do DIY house projects. I also love a good gif party!
Might as well jump in now. It will help build up my courage to actually TTC again.
Ages (you and SO): I'm 41 SO is 53. Seeing that typed out makes me think we're crazy.
How many months have you been TTC?: This will be our first month trying for #3
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Temping and OPKs
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I have a 6 year old DD and a 1 year old DD. I'm a high school teacher but currently still on mat leave. We have a bunny named Maximus who we spoil. I was here with my 2014 baby and then came back with my rainbow in 2019. Hoping we have an easier road to #3 than we had to get to #2.
Hi there! Ages (you and SO): I'm (almost) 34 and DH is 37
How many months have you been TTC?: Currently on month 2
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: I had tubal reversal surgery to become fertile again and using an app (Glow) along with OPK to help track my cycle.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): We are a blended family! I have 2 DDs from a previous marriage, he has one. The two oldest are only 2 weeks apart so it's almost like having twins <3 We are now trying for a baby together. We have a dog named Churro and two cats, Charly and Percy. I'm a 2nd grade teacher and run a photography business as a side hustle.
How many months have you been TTC?: This is our second cycle actively trying
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: OPKs last month, adding BBT this month
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): We're currently trying for #4, I have a 6yo, 5yo, and a 2yo currently. I love sewing, I sew all kinds of clothes for my kids
@DoubleUp8 I was also really active on thebump before the mass exodus, I ended up deleting my entire account and posts, but clearly I can't quit this place lol
Welcome everyone! Make sure you lurk around and see what our boards are like (and the variety of threads we have depending on where you're at in your ttc journey).
