Hi and welcome!
We've been TTC since May of this year, and I've been on this board since shortly after that. I'm 23, from St. Pete, FL. I work for Starbucks as a shift supervisor, and DH is a photographer.
DH and I have been together for a little over five years now, and our 2nd wedding anniversary will be in December.
No kiddos, yet, but we do have a fish and a turtle, which are my babies :P
How long have you been TTC? This is cycle 2, since mid-August.
How long on this board? Lurking since the beginning of the summer. I was an active Knottie in 2010 when I was wedding planning, but I change my SN for TB because my old one had my maiden name in it.
How old are you? I'm 28 and DH is 31. We've been together for 7.5 years, married for last summer. We bought our house 5 years ago. Zoe was 8 months old at our wedding, so we're kinda doing things in our own order, but I wouldn't change a thing!
where are you from? The East Coast of Canada
what do you do? I'm a Statistical Analyst and my current project is with a large American Bank. DH is in the Army, but also has his own IT/Web Design business on the side.
Any kiddos? Zoe is almost 2. I didn't chart with her, we just wanted to see what would happen. I had only been off BCP for 1 cycle, so we were kinda shocked. We kept it a secret for the full first tri, and told my mom on mother's day with a "Happy Grandma Day" cake. She told us to return the cake because we had been given the wrong one! I have it on video and it was hilarious because she was so stunned. I loved that moment.
etc
I'm new to this side of pregnancy, but if anyone has ANY questions about the other side, don't hesitate to ask!! I did a ton of research with Zoe, and everyone has their own experiences, but I would love to share.
I am kinda sad because I'm just getting the hang of charting but if I am still here next cycle, Dh & I will be TTA. His brother's wedding would be within days of my EDD and it's a 10 hour drive. Also, DH will probably be away with work when I O, so cycle 3 is basically shot anyways. Fingerscrossed! Testing this weekend.
Thanks for posting this,Kari Lynn! I love your wedding pic!!
Good luck to everyone
