Trouble TTC

New to this board!

Hi Ladies!  I've been lurking for a bit and thought it was time to come out of the Trouble TTC closet.  Anyway... my screen name isn't very original so you all can pretty much guess what my name is. ;)  I'm 27; DH is 31 and we live in PA.  I am typically on the Getting Pregnant board but I hope you don't mind if I hang out on here, too!  We have been trying to get pregnant for 11 months although I am really hoping it won't take much longer! 

I am looking forward to meeting and getting to know you all!  Hope everyone had a good weekend!

    Welcome! I hope you don't have to stay here long either. Are you looking into seeing an RE sometime soon?

    Best of luck!

    DH wants to wait a bit before we do that...  We agreed to talk to a Dr. in April (if I'm not pregnant by then) when I have my annual since his health insurance SUCKS!  I didn't start charting until April anyway with some months where I know we didn't stand a chance (totally rationalizing here) and lately I've been taking a charting break for my own sanity.  Luckily there is a good RE very close to where we live so if it comes to that it won't be a problem.

    BTW..your turtles are so cute!  I used to have little ones like that when I was in college.  I called them Franklin and Sheldon.  ;)
