Ready for an Intro?

Wine&Cupcakes · December 2013

Hey ladies!

DH and I are 28 and 30, respectively, and are looking to TTC starting in late spring/summer. I felt compelled to intro as I've been motivated to comment lately, but have lurked for quite a while (read: know the rules, culture, won't ask you if I'm pregnant, etc). :-)

As the mood has struck us, we have NTNP for a couple of cycles in the past and wondering whether or not I was pregnant drove me batty/killed my soul, so I've decided to start temping and charting as well as read TCOYF to learn more about my body and maybe get a sense of whether my girly parts may or may not cooperate when it comes time to start trying.

I also have a rare variant of a rare disorder (mild hyperphenylalanemia, a variant of PKU) and while I have never needed treatment for the disorder, I may need to be on a super-strict high protein diet that makes Gwyneth Paltrow's macrobiotic diet look like McDonalds. This will be especially tragic, as it will remove me from my great loves: wine and cupcakes.

I look forward to being a part of the board!
