Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.):
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Currently nothing because we are kind of benched.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I intro'd on here a few months back but got busy and didnt post much so I'm going to introduce myself again. I could really use support right now. TW- loss and LC referenced:
I have 1 LC born 10/2017. It took 16 months to conceive him and we had a MC 8 months in. We've been trying for #2 for 11 months. I thought the universe would throw me a better bone this time around but it would appear that's not the case. I had a CP at the beginning of this year and am currently coming out of a MMC. At 11.5 weeks we found out the baby had stopped growing after hearing the heartbeat at 8 weeks.
I enjoy working out and am currently cross stitching DS a Christmas stocking. I also enjoy cleaning and organizing. I'm currently a SAHM.
@dumbledoredies I'm so sorry for your losses. We have a wonderful community over in the weekly TTCAL thread, if you'd like to come join us there. Those women have been so wonderful for me, personally.

@dumbledoredies I’m sorry you find yourself back after all of that hardship.
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
How many months have you been TTC?: we decided mid cycle to start trying! So this is month 1.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Tracking cycle (have been since DD in Aug 17) next cycle I’m going to temp and use OPKs and I’ve also started a prenatal Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): we have a 4 yo DS with special needs, almost 2yo DD and a fur baby - she’s basically a miniature Shepard! My DH works in construction and I’ve been a SAHM for the past few years but recently took a job that will turn into WFM once I’m 100% trained!
How many months have you been TTC?: Was here back in September and October 2018 and had a CP in November. Just recently had another CP and was supposed to be in BMB 2020 (looked awesome with all the people in there, I lurked it while I wad waiting to see if things would stick, too painful to keep lurking now.). Officially started trying for #2 August 2018 (I have a 21 month old who is at a 18 month old development stage due to being born/rescued at 25 weeks gestation). Sorry, that was alot.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Using a period tracker app. , perscription prenatals and most likely some other things once I see my doctor again in a week.

Really look forward to getting to know people on here as well as hoping I can give any advice and or encouragement I can!
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Tracking cycles, using ovulation kit, was using conceive packets by Premama but switched too fertility sweets by Pink Stork.
