Sorry y'all... bit of a shock last Thursday. I was like, that didn't really happen did it?!? And I was all free-balling with no backup plan because I thought I was being tame... but apparently turns out, not so much.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: so far just making magic every 2 days. I got off the mini pill 3 weeks ago and still no period so I’m not getting my hopes up on conceiving until it regulates.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): We have two sons. 8 and 4. And I’m a 6 cycle egg donor. Just recently got to see photos of a child conceived from the first cycle I donated (shes 20 months old) and it was so neat to see my genetics not in little boy form. I was so thankful to her mommy for sharing the pictures. We also have two LARGE dogs. A 9 year 150 lb Anatolian Sheppard (Max) and a 10 month old Cane Corso (Penny). AND a pot belly pig (Lola), A tortoise (Pedro), a cat (beau), two monitor lizards (Norman and August) and a conure (bird) named Conrad.
