We are both in our late 30s, and so right now I'd say we are in a funny position of still being in the honeymoon phase but trying our best to squeeze in making all the babies we want before it's too late!

A year. I had just scheduled an appt to discuss poss infertility, was sent for blood work, and a week later we were pregnant, before we started to try anything for fertility.
Is this your first child?
No, we have a sweet and sassy 4 year old daughter.
Tell us a little about yourself.
I work full time as a Medical Assistant. I love what I do. I'm very fortunate to work about 7 minutes from my home. My husband is an engineer.
When we aren't working, we enjoy making memories our daughter and doing things as a family. We bought our first home last April, so we spend a lot of time at Home Depot.
We are excited to have a new baby in our home! We can't wait to experience all of the "firsts" all over again.
How long were you trying (if you were)?
About 4 years
Is this your first child/do you have any other children?
We have 2 sons ages 10 and 9
due January 23
this was our first official cycle trying. I had HA for the past 3 years and finally got my first natural cycle back in April after gaining some weight and quitting exercise. We were shocked it happened on the first round, but very happy.
first child!
we've been married almost a year and live in NYC.... A little apprehensive about raising a kid in the big city which we both said we'd never do but are planning on for the time being! (Any moms In NYC, contact me- I'd love to know how you do it!) we both love to travel, spend time with friends and family, stay active, most of which has changed a lot since the BFP, MS, and fatigue. Feel like I'm constantly hiding out at home from the heat this summer.

third pregnancy, second child; three pregnancies in two years! my daughter is 10 months. had a miscarriage right before that.

What's your due date?
January 18

About eight months. I had just started seeing an RE because it had been over six months and I am advanced maternal age. I was diagnosed with PCOS but got pregnant fairly quickly with the help of the RE without too much intervention.
- Is this your first child/do you have any other children?
This is number two! I have a sweet 15-month-old boy. He has NO idea what's in store for him!
- Tell us a little about yourself!
I'm a working mom of one little boy, and both my husband and I have fairly demanding careers, but we are totally invested in our sweet little family. I can honestly say we would fall apart if my husband didn't step up as much as he does, and I count myself very lucky! We are both in our late 30s, and so right now I'd say we are in a funny position of still being in the honeymoon phase but trying our best to squeeze in making all the babies we want before it's too late!
You guys seem like a fun bunch, and smart to boot. I like that. I hope you'll allow me to get to know all of you as we head into the second half of all of the fun here!
