Trying to Get Pregnant

Introduction

Hi everyone. I've been testing the waters for a bit and decided the time is right to come aboard. Husband and I decided in November that after 8.5 years of marriage it was time to attempt to build a family. We're both 32; I'm a high school teacher and husband works for a veteran's NPO. I had a preconception appointment in November to change some medications and make sure I was otherwise healthy. Quit the pill and began charting and got pregnant the first cycle. Wound up as a chemical pregnancy. Anyway, we've got a couple of darling dogs and a big house in the country, so we are ready to take this next step. I'm excited to join you ladies.

  • I appreciate the condolences on the CP, but it really didn't upset me because it was so brief. Is that strange? I sometimes feel like I should feel bad that I don't feel bad about it.
  • Hi, welcome!

    We've also been married awhile and waited.. good luck to ya!
