How many months have you been TTC? Tried for 3 months last year. DH has anxiety and it got the best of him at that point. We had to take a step back for mental health. So this is us trying again for #1.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? PNV, OPK's, temping.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We live in Ohio, and have two cats we completely adore. I read chick lit voraciously, sew, and play the flute. I'm obsessed with Food Network and I work as a health sciences librarian.
So nice to "meet" you all!

How many months have you been TTC? We are benched until January, so i hope you don't mind me hanging out until then
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Right now, trying to get the hang of charting, temps, OPK's, etc. before it's go time. Also using the next two months to try and clean up my diet and be a little healthier
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We live in SW Michigan, and have two dogs (basenjis) and a 16 month old son. My husband and i both work as product designers. Because my son was an emergency c-section, we were advised to wait 18 months before trying again. I used to be big into distance running, but its hard to find the time with work and everything. I love travel, baking, 80's rock, and pretending that i am going to solve crimes after binge watching shows on netflix.
Nice to meet you all
@jengibre_zorro Welcome! How is the diet clean up going? I am going through the same thing but having trouble finding the motivation to make it to the gym lately, blah!

@jengibre_zorro Give us your clean eating tips! I'm trying my hardest to eat as clean as possible in hopes of knocking off a few more lbs before getting KU and also just generally feeling better and keeping my hormones as balanced as possible. I live in a small town so I rely heavily on Thrive Market, Hello Fresh, Sun Basket and Daily Harvest. The nearest Trader Joe's and Whole Foods is a 1.5 hour drive

How many months have you been TTC? This is our first!
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? We tracked BBT & CM & cervix position most of her last cycle even though she was on birth control so we'd be used to it and know more about what we were getting into (I help her track). So now we're tracking with a bit more knowledge, which is good because we're probably only going to get one try this month with AI with our donor because we're still working on paperwork but she's on CD9.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I'm Hil, I'm a trans man, and my partner will be the one carrying (but she is much shyer than I am, so I'm the one on the boards and stuff). We live in eastern WA state, I'm a full time student working on my degree in english & art secondary education, & she's an illustrator and potter. We've got two cats and a dog but we're looking to get a second dog soon hopefully! We're both big ol' nerds

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) we have one son who just turned 4 this week. I am an RN and the hubs works in marketing. I love to run, even though I am large and in charge (
How many months have you been TTC? Just started. IUD removed last week.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Charting and I'm trying to get the hang of BBT. We both started taking vitamins (prenatal for myself, multi for him) to get ready a couple months back. Wanted to go NTNP but I have a tendency to plan so it's incredibly difficult just to go with the flow.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) No kids. One big dog who I love to pieces. Very much looking forward to the holiday season and all of the joy and happiness (and hopefully rest) that it brings.

How many months have you been TTC?
This is a hard answer, my piggy takes care of most of the explaining… But we were done trying to have another baby after our loss last year. Our final round of IVF and final embryos… We were just tapped out financially, emotionally, and spiritually.... We have both been working hard to move forward, and we decided to make some diet changes to help my PCOS symptoms, and began a KETO diet. I wanted to lose some weight and be more for my kiddos, well, it turns out that it can help regulate hormones and cause a return to normal cycling… So after 12 weeks and 30lbs, I had a natural cycle… And then ovulated… So we talked and decided to see if it would happen that we have another baby. We are knocking boots like normal, and just waiting to see if it happens… We don’t want to be too obsessed ab it happening, but would both be so happy if it did… Sorry I am rambling now…
Any way, I am just here for some support in the process, and so if I act crazy and symptom spot every month, you all can check me, not my husband! Lol Hope I am in the right place, and we will see what happens in the future!
Thanks ladies!
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?

I have 2 little boys, 3 and 5, from IVF, stay at home mom to a Navy husband, and love to drink coffee, wine, cook, and be with my family… No pets right now, but our life is chaotic at best!
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

We are TTC for a third. We have a 5 yr old boy and 2 yr old girl. I'm a SAHM currently and DH works in IT. No pets currently but kids are begging us for a dog so that may happen soon.... It has to be a hypoallergenic breed though so if anyone has recommendations! Glad to be with you all on this crazy frustrating journey we call TTC. ☺️

How many months have you been TTC? 9 months now trying for our first. Had a chemical in June, MC at 8 weeks in August.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? PNV, just started OPKs last month.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We live in Pennsylvania. I work in healthcare and hubby is a consultant. We just bought our first home. I love to travel, cook and read. Nice to meet everyone! Been reading posts on here for quite a while now but this is my first post.
How many months have you been TTC? 2 years now, Had mirena removed in Oct. of 2015, had m/c in Feb of 2016 and nothing since then.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Im on metformin and took clomid for the first time this month, also taking PNV, temping and checking other signs. Sex every other day during FW.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We have 2 young boys and have been trying for our 3rd. I know I'm lucky to have the 2 children that we have but we do not feel that our family is complete which is why we are trying for #3. We have made the decision to not go farther than clomid though, no IVF or IUI. We have 5 months left on clomid (if this cycle doesn't work out) to see if something will happen. Ive been on this board before but took a hiatus because we took a break from trying and i needed to just not think about things. I work full time and both boys will be starting up sports again in the spring so it will be a busy time but I'm so thankful for it and do not mind it at all. I love photography and taking pictures for family and friends. I also love to bake.
I didn't see a newbie thread for the week of 11/13 so I posted here. Hope that is ok!
