Hi all! I'm planning on lurking for awhile, but thought I'd introduce myself while I'm here.

Ages (you and SO): We are both 35.
How many months have you been TTC?: This is the 5th month, 4th cycle.
What are you doing to get knocked up?: Charting/Temping, OPKs, just ordered a Proov kit (their targeted ads got me, but I'm not going to get too excited about it LOL.) Also taking prenatals, limiting alcohol (for my own piece of mind) and trying to have lots of well-timed sex.

I'm a mom of two kids (ages 4 and 2) and live on the East Coast. I'm a stay-at-home mom but was previously a social worker. Love watching Philadelphia sports, eating out, and traveling (with and without kiddos!)

So excited to be a part of this community and looking forward to getting to know some great people!

@birdmama87 Welcome! I am also a social worker and have been a SAHM at times! May your stay here be short and sweet. TFAS is a great place to hang!

@dmcg17 thanks!! i absolutely love italy, but i think the most amazing trip i've ever taken was to capetown, south africa! we're dying to get back but it would be nearly impossible with little ones. what about you?

dmcg17

@birdmama87 No way! My answers are probably exactly the same. 😂 Italy was my first trip out of the country so it has a soft spot in my heart. Then we had our honeymoon in South Africa! It was by far my favorite trip - we worked hands-on with big cats, drank amazing wine, and drove the safaris.
