Tell us your TTC story: We TTC for 4.5 years. We tried Clomid with no luck, so my GYN suggested I lose weight. (I was VERY obese.) I joined Weight Watchers and lost 95 lbs! (I LOVE Weight Watchers!) Even after all the weight loss, we still weren't having any luck, so we saw a specialist in fall 2011. We scheduled IVF for Dec. 2011, but we managed to get "lucky" in Oct. 2011. However, one week later we learned it was an ectopic pregnancy. The treatment we chose was methotrexate, which lingers in your system for 3-4 months, so we had to cancel our IVF for Dec. We were able to safely try again in late Feb with no luck, but when we tried again in March we got lucky! We are SO excited to finally be parents! Things are going much better this time. It is definitely not ectopic, and we've already seen the heartbeat! We're completely in love with this little baby!

Tell us your TTC story: We have wanted kids for about two years, but health issues have stood in our way. Two years ago, right before our wedding, I broke five bones in my left foot, developed a DVT, and had a pulmonary embolism. This delayed the wedding a year (it happened a week before the wedding). During the healing time, I re-injured the same area by ripping most of the tendons in the same foot (falling from the side of the tub, into the tub, while shaving my legs), and had to have reconstructive surgery...on my foot. We got married last July, but I was on Warfarin from the DVT and PE, so we had to wait on conceiving. When I finally got off of the blood thinner in November, we started TTC...and got lucky 5 months later! We are so happy, excited, and blessed to be having a December baby! I can't wait to share this time with all of you ladies.

Tell us your TTC story: We started trying in October 2011. I charted right away and though my cycle was fine and we timed it well, I didn't get pregnant. My cycle started going a little wonky between December and January (moved from 28 days to 33 days) and then was 41 days long the cycle after that. My doctor told me if I hit 35 days on the last cycle that she wanted me to come in so we could figure out what was going on. I decided not to chart during my last cycle and took a pregnancy test on day 34 -it was positive!

Tell us your TTC story: We actually hit both one year of trying and our original EDD from the first pregnancy we miscarried during the 2WW of this pregnancy. I was shocked, since we'd sort of resigned to having to start testing and whatnot... But it's definitely sort of cyclically bittersweet to have those two "milestones" in the same cycle as getting pregnant this time. FX this little bean continues to grow and stick!

Tell us your TTC story: We tried for about 3 years to get pregnant. I thought that nature would just work for us, but I guess not! Even though I was on Clomid, this was going to be a throwaway cycle because everything went wrong this cycle--not able to consistently temp during the time when I'd be O'ing, I took a short trip out of town and thought I was going to O then, I didn't have any OPK that looked really positive to me, etc. I had already called the RE and set up an appointment for us to move on to injectables & IUI next cycle. So, imagine my surprise when we came up pregnant

Do you have a nursery theme picked out yet? Link? No, but since we're hoping to be team green, I'm leaning towards all white for the furniture and most linens then filling in colors after the baby is born.

Will you find out the gender of the baby ASAP, or are you team green? We are hoping to be team green.
Tell us your TTC story: We TTC for 4.5 years. We tried Clomid with no luck, so my GYN suggested I lose weight. (I was VERY obese.) I joined Weight Watchers and lost 95 lbs! (I LOVE Weight Watchers!) Even after all the weight loss, we still weren't having any luck, so we saw a specialist in fall 2011. We scheduled IVF for Dec. 2011, but we managed to get "lucky" in Oct. 2011. However, one week later we learned it was an ectopic pregnancy. The treatment we chose was methotrexate, which lingers in your system for 3-4 months, so we had to cancel our IVF for Dec. We were able to safely try again in late Feb with no luck, but when we tried again in March we got lucky! We are SO excited to finally be parents! Things are going much better this time. It is definitely not ectopic, and we've already seen the heartbeat! We're completely in love with this little baby!Hometown: Toronto, on

Tell us your TTC story: We were planning on trying later this year (after my DH gets a career job - we're in the waiting season) so I had my Mirena removed at my yearly in January.

So, even though we weren't quite ready to get pregnant (there's always more money to save, more loose ends to tie up), we are super excited and looking forward to the next 8 months!

Tell us your TTC story: We have wanted kids for about two years, but health issues have stood in our way. Two years ago, right before our wedding, I broke five bones in my left foot, developed a DVT, and had a pulmonary embolism. This delayed the wedding a year (it happened a week before the wedding). During the healing time, I re-injured the same area by ripping most of the tendons in the same foot (falling from the side of the tub, into the tub, while shaving my legs), and had to have reconstructive surgery...on my foot. We got married last July, but I was on Warfarin from the DVT and PE, so we had to wait on conceiving. When I finally got off of the blood thinner in November, we started TTC...and got lucky 5 months later! We are so happy, excited, and blessed to be having a December baby! I can't wait to share this time with all of you ladies.

Tell us your TTC story: We started trying in October 2011. I charted right away and though my cycle was fine and we timed it well, I didn't get pregnant. My cycle started going a little wonky between December and January (moved from 28 days to 33 days) and then was 41 days long the cycle after that. My doctor told me if I hit 35 days on the last cycle that she wanted me to come in so we could figure out what was going on. I decided not to chart during my last cycle and took a pregnancy test on day 34 -it was positive!

Tell us your TTC story: We actually hit both one year of trying and our original EDD from the first pregnancy we miscarried during the 2WW of this pregnancy. I was shocked, since we'd sort of resigned to having to start testing and whatnot... But it's definitely sort of cyclically bittersweet to have those two "milestones" in the same cycle as getting pregnant this time. FX this little bean continues to grow and stick!
