    Couldn't find an intro thread for this week so using this one...

    TW in Spoiler:
    I had just barely started posting here in January when I got a BFP and joined September 2020.  Found out last week that I had a MMC.   Waiting for my levels to be normal again and then I'll start posting in the regular threads, might start posting in the others for now.  I would have waited until I was fully back, but need somewhere to connect with people now that I'm teleworking indefinitely.

    Ages: 27/29
    Months/Cycle: 6 months / 4th cycle when we can try again 
    WYDTKGU: was charting, PNVs, temping etc, probably going to take it slowly getting back into everything.  Doctors suggested I keep taking PNV's.
    About me: No kids, pets etc.  I do lots of crafty things, about to start working on a quilt for a good friends wedding.  Education in engineering, currently working in transportation.
  • @hp242 welcome! I'm an engineer as well :smile:
