Re: Newbie Intros w/o 1/20
We just started TTC at the beginning of the year after a couple months of me wearing DH down. I am temping (with Femometer), using OPKs, trying to HIO during the FW, taking prenatals.
**TW: child**
We have an almost 18 month old daughter, I was a TTGP'er briefly back in the fall of 2017 and then was pretty active in the August 2018 BMB before everyone left for FB. I would love to have a second somewhere between her second and third birthday but am trying to go with the flow and not make myself too crazy during the TTC process.
Look forward to chatting with you all
Me: 37, MH: 38; Married August 2017
TTC #1 October 2017: BFP on 12/1/2017, DD born 7/24/2018 @ 37+1 after induction due to preeclampsia
TTC #2 January 2020: AMA, dx with DOR in May 2020
IVF July 2020: 16 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 12 fertilized, 3 blasts, 2 PGT-A normal
FET 10/7/20: BFP on 10/12/20!!! (EDD 6/25/21); First beta 10/16/20 (9dpt): 148; Second beta 10/19/20 (12dpt): 621; Third beta 10/26/20 (19dpt): 4732; Fourth (and final!) beta 11/2/20 (26 dpt): 22,000+

How many months have you been TTC?: Currently TTA for medical reasons (hence why I'm not sure I belong here
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: TTA but tracking and using OPKs
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): *TW* 2 yo DS and almost 10 mo DD. I love reading and dabble in sewing though don't have as much time lately.
TW, Kids mentioned
I have two bio children ages 10 and 13, as well as 3 bonus kids (6, 8, 10). I did not have trouble getting pregnant with my first two so I don't planning on doing anything special right away. My age and his reversal do have a good chance of making this harder but we will deal with that when it comes.
Kids aside, I work full-time, love everything nature, my four cats, gardening, kayaking, and hiking.
I look forward to getting to know everyone!

How many months have you been TTC?: 3 months
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: OPKs, but I’m not sure if the ones I have are any good.
TW: child, miscarriage
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I’m a SAHM of one kiddo who just turned 4. We have 1 kitty and enjoy crafting, currently I’m on a crosstitch/embroidery kick. I also watch an ungodly amount of TV.
I’m pretty much in panic mode because I am over 30 and TTC. Last time I got pregnant on the first and second times we tried. Even though I shouldn’t expect it to be that quick again, it still feeds into my anxiety.
*TW- children mentioned*
I have an 18 months old conceived at the very first try so part of me is very impatient and freaking out about the whole process. Fwiw I'm 36!

TW mention of MC
We've been TTC for about a month and a half. We were successful but I had an early MC and now I'm gearing up to try again.
I currently have an adorable fur baby, a shihtzu named Princess who will turn 12 in February. I love binge watching Masterpiece shows like Poldark while munching popcorn.
