Newbies intro here! 8/15

Behari · August 2016

Thank you all so much for the support! I've struggled a lot with it but finally feel like I'm in a place to move forward (although I will always think about my daughter every day). Scarlett830, same to you! Here is to a quick journey to healthy babies!

meghan6069 um, we might be more twins than you expect - my name is also Megan! lol

kiki75 · August 2016

@Scarlett830 I'm still sad and angry about your loss, too. I'm so sad and pissed off that so many of us who were TTGP grads who were in the March group are back here.

While I'm here, I may as well reintro, too since I've started posting on this board here and there again.

**TW - loss** I was here March-July. After being diagnosed with a MMC last Tuesday and I think a somewhat large corpus luteum cyst, I'm back here but benched for a currently unknown amount of time. If you're interested in the whole story, you can check my post history and get the details from my post to the March BMB since I'll be adding an update there after I go back to the doctor on Tuesday. I pretty much put the cyst in the I'll think about that later category at the time since it was all I could do to absorb the critical information at the time. However, I'm eager for some more information about that. It sounds like they can resolve on their own but I'm a little worried about that.

Ages (you and SO): I'm 33, he's 37.

How many months have you been TTC? 6

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Once I'm cleared to try again, BBT, CBDA OPKs, Wondfo OPKs, PNV+DHA, Vitamin D, fish oil, CoQ10, EPO, Fertilitea (2 c/day), tons of green tea, grapefruit juice, fertility foods, pineapple core after O, baby aspirin, Mucinex, preseed, HIO when we're in the same town, drinking so much freaking water that my eyeballs are constantly floating

Tell us about yourself! I work in the marketing department for a software company. DH is a commercial airline pilot, which complicates the whole TTC process more than originally anticipated. We have a dog that just turned two. He's an Australian Shepherd/Cattle Dog/Lab mix.

@kiki75 hugs, girl. I'm so sorry that you're back here too. I know every BMB has its losses, but like you said, it seems like there are so many of us from M17 back at TTGP. Here's hoping for recovery, healing, and rainbow babies.

bumpybump · August 2016

Yay, I'm finally off the couple day wait period for posting! That was hard for me since I was an active Bump member back in 2013/2014 (under a different account).

Ages (you and SO): Me - 33, DH - 32

How many months have you been TTC? 1 Month

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Basically just took away the "prevention" part.

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.)

We have a two year old DD and a Lab/German Shepard dog who's 4. I am a SAHM with a Perfectly Posh business and my husband works as a software engineer. I love being outdoors, sewing/DIY, baking, reading, socializing, Fantasy Football (just drafted today), and more. We used to travel a decent amount before becoming parents and always did a snowboarding trip to Colorado yearly.

I love ove being part of these communities and look forward to meeting you all! I'm still in touch with so many ladies I met on here last time.

ladystinson · August 2016

I guess I'll re-intro since I haven't been around since May.

Ages (you and SO): I'm 30 and DH is 33

How many months have you been TTC? 8 (plus 2 or 3 NTNP... I've avoided numbers for a while, so now I can't remember lol)

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? yes. all of it. lol I'm taking prenatals to get my vitamin d and a levels up and just overall prep. DH is on.... I think its zinc e and a? I know zinc. for swimmer health. Temping, charting CM, CP (when I can remember) and I guess I'll be breaking out the opk's again

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I'm an a/p administrative specialist and DH is an IT systems admin. We work for they same company (its where we met ) currently we have a guinea pig and 4 or 5 tetras (they swear there were 5 in the bag- just bought last night- i can only find 4... who knows) We each have a son from our first marriages so we are trying for our second each/third total
I'm an open book, if you'd like to know just ask. Nothing is off limits

Ferrell2B · August 2016

Ages (you and SO): I'm 30 and he is 33

How many months have you been TTC? In total, about 26 months, but we just started fertility treatments last month.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? On 7/9 I started a low dose Clomid, which did nothing. RE increased the dose to the highest amount and nothing... lol. So we did Femara starting 8/1 and I got one super huge egg so we triggered on the 9th. Femara and Intercourse are what we are doing currently.

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I have 4 wonderful fur babies!! 1 Pit Bull (Patton), 1 Belgian Mally (Spartan), 1 Mutt-Ridgeback mix (Jane), and a Micro Potbelly Pig (Dixie). I work in IT, so it's pretty boring lol but I love it. And I love to sew and make things/Restore things. I am in a quilt making frenzy lately and have made 4 or 5 in the last few months. We also restored this old Wooden horse my in-laws found. lol, That is pretty much me =D

MrsN092714 · August 2016

Ages (you and SO): Both 28

How many months have you been TTC? This is the first this time around.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Currently just baby dancing... explanation below!

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We have 2 fur babies and a almost 10 month old son. I am still breastfeeding my boy and only had aunt flo return at the start of July. I had 2 annovulatory cycles that were both 16 days each. I am currently on cd 18 so I'm hoping my body has straightened itself out! 3 periods in a month sucked. In a way I am happy it took so long for the return, I am desperately hoping for a vbac this time around after a surprise breech and failure to progress landed me on the operating table last time. It took me 3 months to conceive last time. I temped and used opks and learned a ton from the ladies on this board. I'm not sure if I will be temping this time as my son hates sleep and I can't remember the last time I had a 3 hour stretch!

Looking forward to chatting with you ladies. I love watching people graduate from this group. It's so nice to have such a great support system and a place to vent about whatever.

mrsdaddario · August 2016

@Kiki75 Idk how the f I missed what's going on with you. I am SO sorry, and I feel awful if I missed it somewhere else. My deepest sympathies and I hope you are taking time for yourself.

@ladystinson I remember you! Welcome back!

mmarie314 · August 2016

Hi there,
i was previously on here but left with the mass exodus.
I am lurking right now a bit but plan to TTC starting in November. I am married and we have a 2 year old son. I am 30 my husband is 31 almost 32.

When i was pregnant with my son I was 15 months out from finishing my bachelors degree. I am starting my masters this October.... So I am apparently a person who loves a crazy life to have a toddler, 3 idiot dogs, work full time, and now plan to bring baby #2 into the mix. Love my crazy life though- being it on!

glad to be back!

@mrsdaddario

Thank you. I hate being back here. It's also a strange mix of being glad to see old faces and wishing that everyone had gotten their BFPs and had happily moved on. Hopefully that will be the case by the time I'm actually in WTO/TWW. I've been keeping my FX so dang hard for you.
