nikinikinine

Hi Ladies!

My name is Niki. I've been married for 4 years and we have 2 kids thanks to IVF. TTC #3 via FET this fall.

I'm a *newly* WAHM trying to figure out how to balance work and twins that are on the move. I love margaritas, swear words, running, spinning and SU basketball.  (Maybe even in that order.)

I recently migrated over here, but a lot of the faces are familiar from IF/PAIF

wiscgirl95

Hello!  I'm Katie, 37 year old attorney who is currently staying at home. At some point I will get back in to the work force. Probably sooner than I'm ready. I have an interview on Friday . . . I suppose I should get a little excited for it since it's an outstanding company.

Married Vaughn on 12/22/07.  Daughter Vivian was born on 1/11/11 after TTC since March, 2008. I live in Whitefish Bay, WI (suburb of Milwaukee).

What else . . . I spend my free time in the fall at Badger football games, following Badger & Marquette hoops in winter and playing tennis and swimming whenever I can.

jenber77

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I'm 33 and have been married to Keith for seven years. We have a two-year-old son who was conceived after 22 months of TTC during a natural cycle shortly after I had a lap.

I live in Toronto, Canada, and am currently a freelance editor. My son goes to daycare two days a week to allow me to work and go into the office when necessary, and it's been a really great balance. If only my work habits were a bit better...

preheatedoven

I'm Andrea, 31, married to Greg for nearly 6 years. We have 18 month old b/g twins thanks to IVF#2. I work in international education, but will start a new adventure as a SAHM at the end of the year (can't wait!).

I like to bake and do crafty stuff. Right now I'm working on some furniture rehab projects. I dabble in Feng Shui. In a past life my 'hobby' was traveling, I got abroad at least twice a year. How life changes, hey?

schmoodle

I'm Kathy, I'm 31 (I had to think about it for like 10 seconds because I no longer remember my age), I've been married to my husband for 7 years and we have 2 live babies (one IVF, one amazing surprise) and 2 babies no longer here with us (IVF babies born too soon).

My husband and I are both attorneys and I'm very happy being a working mom (although I do enjoy my long-ish maternity leaves and wish that when I was working it was a little easier/fewer hours).

I enjoy long walks on the beach...hehe. How about TV sitcoms, cheese, my cats and knitting?

We had success via IUI. I am an event planner and love my job. I am in the office 3-4 days a week and the rest of my time is spent with Henry. I enjoy spending time with the family, photography, cooking, going to the beach, spending time with the girls, making jewelry, and oh, and I am a shoe addict.

jen~n~brett

Hi! I'm Jenn. Been lurking, IF, PAIF, or SAIF, for a few years. I have been married to Brett for almost 3 years. We have a 9 and half month old daughter, kathryn, who is the result of IUI with injectables.

Live in Augusta, GA. We have been here for just over a year, but am from Columbus, OH, and hope to be back in Columbus within the next year.

I am a SAHM, and my favorite things are, sushi, travel, trashy TV, shopping for Kathryn, shopping for our home, my animals, and pretending to be Martha Stweart.

naflmj

I'm Nicole, married to Justin for 4 years, we have an 18mo old son Graeme thanks to ivf.I work in special ed administration and love it...just wish it could be done part time.

Ali212

I'm Kerry, I've been married 6 years (on Sat!) and am mom to two girls - a three year old and 6 month old (and have two dogs).  We moved overseas for my husband's job right before my 2nd daughter was born and I've been a SAHM since we made the move.  My older daughter was conceived spontaneously with a teeny-tiny bit of difficulty but my 2nd one was a long ride until we finally got pregnant after our 4th IVF so I found this board a bit late (and that coupled with my intense work before we moved meant I wasn't incredibly active on the board).  

 

Now, I'm enjoying living abroad and getting to explore fun cities/countries/sights as well as spending more time with my girls (although right now we're in the US for an extended summer vacation at the beach).  I worked in fashion before we moved so still enjoy that (as a hobby...I guess that basically means I just shop too much!), love interior decorating / design, photography (as a hobby), to enjoy a glass of red wine (or two) at night (or an extra dirty martini or my husband's amazing margaritas) and playing tennis and running.

sasa625

I'm Lisa. I'm 31 and I've been married to my DH for 5 years. We have one amazing little girl who turned 2 last month. I work part-time as a speech therapist in a school (so I'm not working right now... yay!) and spend the rest of my time at home with my DD.

I love baking, reading, running, and spending time with my family and friends.

kme930

So fun!

I'm Kathleen. I'm 35 years old and have been married to Alex, who is an amazing husband, for almost 5 years (9/30 is our anniversary). We live in the city of Chicago with our wonderful son Will who was the result of our first IVF.

I work in finance, full time. My husband works at a non-profit, so he has much more flexible hours - without that, I'm not sure how we would make it work!

I love photography, cooking, working out, taking walks around our beautiful city (when it's not too hot) and (recently) pinterest. I used to love running, but have been a bit lazy since I had Will - I've run three half marathons, one full marathon and tons of 5Ks, 8Ks and 10Ks. I hope to get back to it at some point.

I've recently discovered pinterest too!  It is so addictive.

I think I'm an oldie!

I'm Erin, married 6 years on saturday, together 8.5.  DD is 3 (3/28/08) and DS is 14mos (5/10/10).  MFI due to a torsion, clomid helped my DH A LOT.  We have scheduled iui's 3 times but ended up pg on our own the cycle before twice (one m/c then DD) and had to cancel the 3rd iui due to schedule but got pg that cycle with TI.  We've been very lucky and very blessed.

I'm a former elementary music teacher and current SAHM.  I love sewing, knitting, and crafting in general.

CJ71903

Hi!  I'm CJ and I have eight month old boy/girl twins from IVF.  I started out on the Infertility board on the Bump, but took a decent break shortly after I got pregnant, so I recognize some names.  I'm a SAHM and enjoy taking long walks, reading, and watching reality TV.  

ETA:  I'm 28 years old and have been with my husband for 12 years now - married for 8. 

armywife76

Hi! I'm Jenni and will have been married to my DH 10 years in Feb! We waited a long time to start a family. DS is from our 1st IVF, and we're currently 6 wks pg after a surprise bfp. I work full-time as a PT/Rehab Coordinator, which has been my dream since 10th grade (and I do LOVE it!), but after having DS, I often wish I could work part-time (maybe someday, sigh) ;-) Anyway, I'm a late-night and weekend bumpie mostly, but would be lost without the SAIF girls! Love me some martinis and good friends (both at the same time, if possible). Welcome to the newbies and lurkers! Hope you find your home here.

Mrs.Reem

I'm Angie. I'll be 33 in October. I have two sweet girls thanks to Injectables+ IUI. I tried to be a gestational carrier but it didn't work out. Hubby and I have been married for 6 years. I'm also a SAHM, converted from a career woman. 

alchris

I'm alchris.   You all are making me feel old in this thread; I'll be 37 this weekend.  DH and I have been married for nearly 6 years and have been friends for nearly 18 years.  I am from Seattle, moved to NC for college, and somehow I still live here.

We have 2 daughters -- Kira is 3 years 8 months, and Elena is 7.5 months.  They are as different as could be; when I need to guess how Elena may respond in a situation, I think of what Kira would do and assume the opposite.  They just look alike!

I have my master's in counseling and was a school counselor until 2006 when I started my own photography business.  Working for myself allowed me to get to RE appointments, and I decided to stop being active professionally as soon as Kira was born.  I LOVED traveling before I became a Mommy and now I'm happy to stay put and just take pictures of my girls.  DH is a criminal defense attorney.

LakeGenevaBride

I'm Kimberly, 34yo.  I've been married for almost 8 years.  My IVF twin boys are 13 months old.  I'm a full time mom and part time pharmacist.  We are currently contemplating going back to RE for another try. 

Carrie25

My name is Carrie.  I'm 32 and I've been married for 5 1/2 years to my DH, John.  

My son, Aaron is 2 3/4 all thanks to IVF!  We are getting ready to do a fresh cycle for another baby.  In the past year we've done 2 FET's that haven't worked =(.

I am also a SAHM, but am currently pursuing a nursing degree.
