Hi Ladies,
So, thought I would finally introduce myself here, although I have been lurking for a while and posted a few times in the general "Trying to get pregnant board".
About us: I am currently 36 (37 in August) and trying to conceive my first. My SO is 35, and has a DS from a previous marriage that is 8, and who is with us most of the time. I love him dearly, we bonded immediately and I treat him as if he were mine. But as much as I love him, the longing to have one of my own is very much apparent. So, considering my age, and my SO's impending deployment in January (he is in the Navy and will be gone for 6 months), we finally made the decision to just start trying and see what happens. It is all very scary and exciting for me, as I am sure it is for every one of you here. There is also a lot of pressure from my mom to deliver more grand-kids, so we are currently not sharing this journey with anyone else. At the moment I don't feel like the constant questioning would be helpful.
What am I doing tc: I just had my IUD removed last month and hopeful that my cycle will fall into place quite quickly as I did have some indication of menstruating while still having the IUD. If calculations are correct, I am currently on my TWW and AF should appear some time next week (CD 24/DPO 11). I did use OPK's and had some positives earlier in the month. Also using FF and a few others, charting all the things. And as of today, temping as well.
From what I have read through lurking, you are all a very positive and supportive group and I look forward to getting to know you all better in the comping weeks.
PS - Its Friday ladies, act accordingly! Hope you all have a great weekend!
