  • Hello 👋 and welcome all newbies @spinnylinny, @lilnyc, @manillabar and @looeeze
  • Welcome everyone :)

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): We have a 12mo old, two obnoxious but lovable dogs. I’m an attorney, he’s in natural gas. We don’t have a lot of time for hobbies these days, but usually I love to read and he loves to golf. It took us 3 years and *TW* 5 losses *TW* to have our daughter, so I’m hopeful but very cautious this time around. I used to participate a lot on the TTCAL board, but haven’t been active since my daughter. Always lurking and rooting for everyone, of course. But I feel like it’s a good idea to jump back in early on in the process this time around. Hello all!
  • @cassafrass15 Hello and welcome back to TB. I’m so sorry for all your losses. I’m hoping your stay here this time will be short and sweet. 
  • Welcome everyone! 
  • Oh @kmalls my heart sank when I saw your name posting here. I’m so sorry for your loss. 
  • @kmalls I am so sorry <3

    I haven't been active on TB at all in quite some time, but here I am, and I figure it's better to intro right off the bat rather than lurk for forever. 

    Ages (you and SO): I'm 35 and he's 36

    How many months have you been TTC?: 6... which makes it time for me to see a RE. I have an appointment with my OB on Friday, so I have a feeling things are about to get interesting. 

    What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: temping, opks, and cm tracking

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): I have two girls, ages 5 and 2 and am an elementary school teacher, so hobbies? What are those?
