Re: **Newbie Intro Thread w/o 5/7**
How many months have you been TTC? 6ish. Really more like NTNP until this month, now more actively trying.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? OPK, just started temping and prenatals
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I'm a patent lawyer; trying for our 1st. I have 1 Norwegian Elkhound who's cute and sweet but a thief, and we're getting a second (a puppy) in about a month. Hobbies/interests include running (though have not been doing as much of that as I should be lately), kickball, learning how to cook, reading, wine, tennis.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? I'm tracking in an app, I'm going to use my first OPK tomorrow morning. This is the first cycle I am cleared to try again after a loss and my cycles aren't bad, but a little off their "normal". My window is showing open for 9 days so we are just DTD at least every other day in case.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) We have a 5 year old daughter and a furbaby who is 6. I work in the financial planning/investment industry and love it. I love my church and sing in the choir. We love seeing movies and plays. Hi to everyone!
How many months have you been TTC? 12
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? BBT, Ava, CM, Pre-Seed, OPK's.

This was my 12 month marker for trying, so I had my first doctor appointment on Monday. They drew for labs and I'm having an ultrasound this afternoon (I'm in the end of my cycle). I've been on some sort of hormonal birth control for almost 12 years before TTC so my doctor thinks my body hasn't been regulating hormones well enough yet because it hasn't ever had to. DH is going for a semen analysis in a few weeks.
We have 3 dogs and a cat. We both work for the same company in different offices so it's continent that we can chat over Skype during the day. We didn't meet at work though. I was recruited to the company he'd been working at after we'd started dating. We enjoy hiking and doing yard work. I feel like owning a home means always having some yard work or a trip to Lowe's/Home Depot.
@hoodevil0611 good luck with your puppy!

How many months have you been TTC? This is our first month.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Prenatals, temping when i remember, using FF app
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) Between us we have two dogs. He has a daughter who is 8. We both work as substance abuse counselors and love our jobs. I have wanted to be a mom for a while but wasn’t in a relationship for about 7 years. *crossing fingers*
How many months have you been TTC? We have been "not trying not preventing" since September 2015, this is month 3 of taking it to the next level.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGK) Using FF app, charting, staying busy in the bedroom ;-P!
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc) We have one cat (Phoebe) or as DH likes to call her, simply "Kitty" lol. He works for the town and I work for an Outpatient Chemical Dependency agency. I've been lurking for quite sometime and I'm excited to get to know you ladies!
How many months have you been TTC? This is our first month!
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Stopped taking BCP's in December, temping, charting in FF, prenatals, no caffeine, just started OPK's. I had a pre-conception appointment with my OB and from my hormone levels she said that I likely have PCOS (I've had irregular periods since stopping BCP's) and she ordered a transvaginal U/S which is scheduled for tomorrow. Really hope that I'm ovulating!
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): No kids, 1 dog who is basically our child. I'm a teacher and taking grad classes so not a lot of other time for hobbies, but going to try and start yoga classes this summer once school's out! Been lurking for a while and posting on BOTB, but I haven't talked to anyone other than H about TTC so looking forward to joining this community!
How many months have you been TTC? 24+
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)? Nothing besides HIO right now and testing...
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) So I used to be active and dropped off due to "busy season" and now I'm back. To be honest (like us all..) I was hoping I wouldn't come back here or see anyone I recognize, but here I am. I've been lurking some but grateful to be back with this community.
