Hi everyone!
My name is Mandy. I'm 26, married, and itching for a baby. I am a medical laboratory scientist and a volunteer firefighter/EMT. My husband, Ryan, is 29, and very "go with the flow" (meaning right now he is ok if we have a baby...and ok if we don't). We haven't officially started TTC...but so close! That is, if my body cooperates!
I just got off BCP near the end of August and am on CD19. I am already worried about my cycle because I had less-than-desirable results last year when I tried to quit BCP. I bought some OPKs today and plan to start testing in October. In the meantime, I'm just focusing on losing weight and getting healthy (already started prenatals).
I'm just here to learn, be encouraged, and to encourage others :-)
