Hi everyone! 
I was on this board a couple years ago and then my personal life took a U turn.  A little bit about me...I am 32 and live in Alaska.  I'm origionally from Wisconsin, but have been here since 2018. I work as a radiation therapist working with mostly cancer patients.  In my free time I love to ride my horse, spend time cooking/baking and just staying active!  I have a dog, a cat, and a horse I live with my partner of 2.5 years where we like to hike, ski, and adventure together.
  
A little bit about my situation: I was on this board 3+ years ago when I was TTGP with my ex-husband...I had (TW): two miscarriages at 9 weeks and 5 weeks. We ended up getting a divorce, and fast forward 3 years later...I have the most amazing partner who has shown me everything I was missing in my previous life.  We are now looking at starting a family together! I recently went to a fertility specialist because I had a hunch something was going on with my hormones after my 2 miscarriages, and nothing happening after being off birth control for 1.5 years with consistent timing (or so I thought).  After some bloodwork, a sperm analysis, and an ultrasound we discovered I have polycystic ovaries, and he had a low sperm count. So,,,I'll most likely be lurking around for a bit while we work on our E&S quality and potentially doing ovulation meds and IUI this summer if nothing happens naturally over the next couple months.  It feels greats to be here again, and I'm really looking forward to having a great community to chat with again about all this TTGP!

@wunderkai Welcome back! It sounds like you've had a very eventful last few years, but also like things have never been better. I hope your stay here is short and sweet

Hi! I’m also in Alaska!  Welcome back to the board.

Hey, all! We are trying for #3 and I was on TTGP boards for a minute with #1 and #2, loved the community it offered, and looking forward to that aspect of it, again. 

I currently live in Alabama but have lived all over the country. No pets at the moment— we lost our beloved orange kitty last year and just haven’t had the heart for another yet but we’ll get there eventually. 

My husband and I are 37 and wanted to try for one last go of it so here we are. I’ve used FF for years, but I’ll be using OPKs this time around, so that’s a new one for me. 

I’m a NICU RN and IBCLC but haven’t worked since we moved to AL in October. I homeschool my 9yo, love to exercise, read all the books, have a tiny Harry Potter tattoo, bake my own bread, and love to cook. I’m very much a homebody but married an outdoor enthusiast so I do enjoy the occasional hike or tent camping trip.
