introducing myself

owlprofowlprof member
in TTC after 35

Hello ladies!

 I am new here and wanted to introduce myself.  I am a few months away from 36 and just got married in January.  We are TTC, but things are complicated a bit by the fact that my husband and I live 1500 miles apart. A friend gave me a copy of TCOYF for my 30th birthday and I was shocked at how little I knew about things.  While I know much more now, I'm sure I can benefit from the advice and experience of those on the board.  I decided to take the plunge and come out on the board so that I don't drive husband, family, and friends with pregnancy talk/obsession.  I hope we all have short stays here!

    Welcome to the board! I hope your stay is short too. :) When I read TCOYF I was amazed at how little I knew. Another great resource is Fertility Friend.com. It's a great online tracker for your cycles - and it also has some tutorials that make it really easy.

    There is another regulat poster on this board that lives far away from her DH. I'm sure she'll jump in and introduce herself.

    Best of luck!

    You are very perceptive!  I do teach at Temple.  In our HR orientation, I remember the guy said that Temple was the only school with an owl as a mascot -- while that isn't exactly true (Rice U. in Houston has an owl too), it does narrow down the field.

    I grew up in Philly - not hard to spot.

    My Dad went to Temple and I'll be transferring to Temple Ambler next Spring.  I currently go to BCCC - trying to get early educ degree.

    Nice to see another local - old lady - trying to conceive :-)

    Go Owls!
