This is our first month trying again after **TW 2 losses end TW**
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?
PNV, OPK, just started my husband on some pre conception health men's vitamins, and, now that I've finished a truly awful work schedule I was on, I hope to drop 10-15 pounds to have a healthier BMI.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.)
My husband and I live in Los Angeles where I work in reality tv and he works in the craft beer industry. **TW child mentioned** We have an amazingly high energy, hilarious 2 year old daughter who is the light of our lives. end TW** We also have a dog and two cats, and somehow we manage to contain our mini zoo in a 2 bedroom apartment. In the little free time I have I write screenplays and hope to sell one eventually. I love Game of Thrones and am a giant dork who has read all of the books. I also forever love 30 Rock and haven't found another show to fill the Liz Lemon shaped void in my heart.
Anyway, I'm excited to get to know all of you! *waves excitedly to the ladies from BOTB*
Good to see you, friend! *hugs*

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.)
I work at a bank in loan operations, kind of behind the scenes rather than face to face with customers. *TW kid* We've got a 2 year old (tomorrow) DS who is wild and crazy and so amazingly smart! *End TW* We've got 2 cats that DH hates, but my mom moved and could t take them with, so we kept them. I love to sew, crochet, and am currently engrossed in reading the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs.
DS2 due 12/12/18
How many months have you been TTC? this makes our 4th cycle
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? just TI and some vitamins
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) *TW*So, we have a 4 yo DD and a 2 yo DS and are hoping for #3. We had multiple losses and did fertility treatments and ended up needing IVF to have our 4yo after learning that my one remaining tube was damaged and potentially beyond repair. We were successful on our first round and 4 years after we initially began TTC our daughter was born. Our son came along as a "surprise" just days before another IVF cycle was to start. We are TTC #3 with no fertility help. Cautiously optimistic but with enough caution to know that the odds may not be in our favor to conceive without assistance again. Hopeful, nevertheless.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? First month was temp checking an ov testing but so far (I know early days) I haven't found those helpful so this coming month am going to try every 2-3 days from day 10-28 (cycle is around 34 days)
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) no kids, got a cat and dog fur baby though! We are Christians so at church Sundays and community groups during the week. Other than that just house renovations hopefully before a soon to be baby starts growing.
