Re: Newbie Intro Thread - Week of 3/20
Good Morning!
My name is Holly (if you couldn't tell from my username
)and I've been lurking for a little while now, and am ready to jump in!
Ages (you and SO): I am 28, and he is 33.
How many months have you been TTC? About a month now.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Quit BC, started using OPK's.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) No kids yet! I have a rottweiler mix who I absolutely adore. I am in Marketing, and my husband is in Financial Advising. I like hiking, traveling, reading, and going on spontaneous road trips/adventures. Hopefully I can add volunteering to my list soon!
Oh yeah, I am also a VPR/Real housewives junkie, as you can tell if you look at my first post on here!
Ages (you and SO): DH is 34. I'm 28
How many months have you been TTC? We've just removed the goalie this cycle.
What are you doing to get knocked up? I use FF. Back in the day, I did all the things. This time around, I'm just monitoring CM, CP, and symptoms.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We have 2 kiddos- DD is 4 (I lurked on the September 12 board) and DS will be 1 next month (A16). We have a mastiff and a cattle dog. My DH is in hospitality supply and I'm a special education teacher.
Ages (you and SO): I'm 27, DH is 29
How many months have you been TTC? Went of BC two months ago, but DH was in a sling from shoulder surgery until just a couple weeks ago, so one month of actual "trying" at anywhere close to the right time
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Charting BBT, CM, CP, and symptoms (I've always gotten ovulation cramps).
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) No kids, no pets. I work in communications for a small quasi-governmental entity. I like to read, craft, play/watch sports, and I especially enjoy cooking and baking. I spent some time on the knot and the nest and I've been lurking here for a little while, but I'm sure it will be a while before I'm up on all the lingo. Best wishes to everyone in their TTC!
Me: 28 | H: 29
Married: October 2014
TTC #1 March 2017
Dx: PCOS - March 2018
IUI #1: April 2018 BFN
IUI #2: May 2018
Hello! I was pretty active last fall but from lurking it seems that a lot of people have come and gone since then and it's been awhile so I should probably reintroduce myself after dropping off the face of TB with no real explanation (sorry...). Honestly I just got pretty down about it all and wasn't sure if it was making me depressed to talk about it every day. The daily threads, though extremely helpful and informative, got to be too much for me both anxiety and time-wise. So I might just stick with the IF testing thread unless I have a lot of extra time on a particular day. Hope that's OK.
Ages (you and SO): I'm about to be 34 and he's turning 37 in a couple weeks.
How many months have you been TTC? 12
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? temping, CM, generally obsessing and trying to sleep better, somewhat extreme diet choices that I've researched a lot but not everyone would agree with, RRL tea, just started seeing a RE and on to IUI w/ Clomid next cycle assuming this current cycle isn't my magic one (and judging from recent experience it probably won't be).
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) No kids, love cats but H is taking allergy shots so I don't get to have a little furry beast of my own for a few more years [single tear]... we just celebrated our 14 year dating anniversary and have been married 7 years. We hike a lot, and have long weird deeply analytical conversations that would bore most people to tears.
edited for grammar
And then linked in that thread is TB list here: https://www.thebump.com/community-glossary
If you haven't already, I would recommend reading all of the pinned posts at the top of the board in addition to lurking. Welcome!

DH works in sales and travels a lot and I'm a SAHM. I like to cook, read, and watch Netflix and Hulu with DH after DD is in bed. Some of our favorites are Scandal, Quantico, Hand of God and Narcos. VPR and RHOanywhere are my sans husband favs.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Stopped birth control, taking BBT daily, lots of BDing, taking prenatals for several months now, using Shine to track my cycles.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) DH and I were recently married in November. Decided not to hold off TTC baby #1 and to get started pretty quickly. We have a 7-year-young Boston terrier named Rusty. Unfortunately, on Wednesday we made the difficult decision to let our 15-year-old cat go after a battle with kidney failure. I work as an assistant to two groups within the College of Engineering at a university. It's a fairly new position, but I am enjoying it. I am also a part-time college student finishing up my bachelor's degree. I don't have a lot of free time, but when I do, I love to read, write stories, watch some TV, and spend time on the internet.
