I’m currently going through my third loss. In fact nothing has even started yet, but hcg is declining, so I’m in limbo. I had a CP in May and a MMC in July 2016. I have an appointment on Friday to start thinking about testing.
Other than what is in the spoiler, I have a 23 month old son, and a 5 year old dog (see profile). DH and I have been married for almost 7 years, and we have been together for 15. I’m a 6th grade math teacher and he’s a software engineer. I’m excited to join back in, and have/give support during this TCC time.

@ttcbabyodo we were. DH was 14 and I was 16 when we started dating.
Thank you everyone. I’m hoping that I’ll be starting some testing soon to figure out the multiple losses.

I live in the south, USA. my husband and I have been married for almost 6 years, and together for about 9. I have a 20 month old boy, 4 cats and currently work part time banking.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: FINALLY back doing fertility treatments, so minor tracking, Femara CD 3-7, monitoring US CD 13, trigger shot after US and timed intercourse
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I've been in and out of here depending on life. I have PCOS and my husband and I have been struggling with weight loss and other things that caused back up with fertility treatments. We got a new RE, though, and are able to move forward! No kids, we have a dog. I'm a child and adolescent therapist, specializing in trauma.
Me: 28, DH: 28 Diagnosed with PCOS: Summer 2007 Married: July 2013 Began TTC: June 2015
What are you doing to get knocked up : it kinda feels like what am I not doing at this point
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): we currently have one very spoiled pup and regularly foster kittens (currently have 6). I’m currently working on my doctorate. I have been stalking the forum for a few months now and finally decided to join. I look forward to meeting all of y’all.
@firebaby688 - welcome back to the forums. So sorry about your struggles. I'm currently in grad school studying what you practice (child & adolescent therapy) so it's nice to see someone else out here who is in the same career path.
How many months have you been TTC?: This will be our first. We have been committed for 9 months now.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: temping, opk, healthy diet and exercising. Just did an HSG and blood testing.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I have been observing the forums for a while and excited to start participating. We just recently relocated away from family and friends to a new area which we love, but it has been difficult going through the highs and lows of TTC with the many changes. We have an adorable cat named M'lady and are hoping to adopt a dog later this year.
