How many months have you been TTC? I got pregnant in January and miscarried last month at 7 weeks. This was my second miscarriage and we just started trying again.
What are you doing to get knocked up: Sex, sex, more sex and lots of sex
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We met a year ago and have been together since. We bought a house last summer and now we are ready to add to our family. I’m a teachers assistant for pre-primary (pre school). My daughter Isla Jane is 4 years old and her father and I have been separated for 2 years. I have a husky pup and a cat who is always up to no good
