Hello everyone, my name is Amber. I have been lurking a tad, so I thought I would introduce myself and maybe make a few friends who maybe have been in the same boat... My story is long and confusing and I am sure most people will think WTF when they read it.
My hubby, James, and I were married 3.5 yrs ago. Although while we were dating, children were going to be a no for us, after we got married, I caught the bug. Thought about it, begged to have one. Never did, always stayed on BC. Well, hubby and I broke up in October. Tried for a few weeks in Nov, but it didn't work. We got a divorce that was final in Feb, he had a lot of health problems, was in ICU for a week, then some rehab... All to find out that his body doesn't create testosterone like it should. His T was about the level of a females. We started hanging out as friends, and going dancing as we love to do, and one thing led to another, and we are back together. In fact, looks like something didn't go right in the divorce, so we may not even have to get remarried! He gives himself T shots every 13 days, and takes other daily meds, and the "marriage" is better than ever. Not only do i notice a dif in him, everyone does. He is great!
We decided a month and half ago to try for a baby. It started out, oops, I forgot my pills at my apartment and having a little scare. But when it came time for me to get back on them, we decided against it. He wants to just see where it goes over the next six months. I, though, have been charting and stuff. Because of his new higher T we do it almost every day, if not twice. So, I don't worry about trying to get him down for it.
Because of his past health problems, leading him to be on life support for a week, we are going to give it six months of so, and then have his little guys checked to make sure nothing when wrong there. I try not to get my hopes up each time its ready to see AF, cause i know that we may not be able to do it on our own. But this time, something is def dif with my body! Just a few more days and I can test! I think he is more excited than I am.
Re: Hello! Newbie in TTC month 2
Lots of luck to you. I am glad that you have a strong relationship again.
Are you charting using Fertility Friend? If not, you should check it out. It is a very helpful tool!

Welcome to the board and GL!
Welcome! Make sure you check out the Newbie Link if you haven't already.
I am a newbie myself (just started my 4th cycle) and I highly recommend Fertility Friend for charting and making sure you know what's going on with your body during the month.
Also, a lot of ladies here recommend the book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I just picked it up at the library last night myself, and am looking forward to learning a few more things!
There are lots of lovely and helpful ladies here that will give you helpful advice and support.
GL!
