-Hi all! I've been lurking for a little while now, but decided to try chiming in for support.
-I'm 27 and my husband is 28. Together 5 years, we'll be married a year on May 11.
-This is our first month really TTC. I was on BC for 6 years and ended that in Feb. And my last period was in Feb so I haven't had AF in 3 months. I'll be seeing my OBGYN in June to ask her lots of questions and I'm trying not to get too discouraged. I grew up with irregular periods as well.
-Last week I started tracking LH through easy@home test strips and I'm using advanced Clearblue OPK for when I notice a surge and can see if I'm actually ovulating because right now with no periods, I have no clue. I considered BBT but I don't want to overwhelm myself and want to see what my doctor says. Also taking prenatals.
-No kiddos, we have a cat who only loves me

. My husband works in accounting and I am currently in graduate school for clinical mental health therapy but work with high school students as my full-time job until I'm done with school. We watch a lot of Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and now HBO. I play a lot of Animal Crossing as well to pass the time. I think that's about it, not really anything exciting!

@allyg2w1 I'm a clinical mental health counseling grad student as well! Welcome to the board! Hope you find all the support you need while you're here and that your stay is short.

Hello all, I've been lurking the past few months but as of yesterday I got my IUD removed so heeeere we go!

-I am 36 (37 in June), my husband is 33.
-This will be our first month in the world of TTC, so I think we're going for NTNP. Though I am fascinated with tracking, and bought some Wondfo ovulation tests with a few pregnancy tests, so I kinda wanna check those out. Like I said I got my IUD removed yesterday with my pap, and my OB was pretty encouraging. I was feeling kind of self-conscious about it (my age, covid, etc) but she really put me at ease. Oh, and I've been taking prenatals as well.
-We have one 3 year old boy that I'd love to give a sibling to if I can. We also have a dog and 2 cats. And only 2 bedrooms. Are we crazy??? Probably.

Anyway, hello!

Also just for transparency’s sake I wanted to point out I adjusted my username by one letter just now- mainly because I’ve had this username for years and I’m paranoid about people seeing me here and recognizing my username and I’m super private about that stuff. May not matter much, but it made me feel better. Hah

Or I thought I did? I guess maybe it didn’t work.

Hey friends, been around a long time but doing a new intro with a new name.

Ages (you and SO): I refuse to acknowledge age ;) , but I am AMA.

How many months have you been TTC?: Too d*** long--just made 24 months.

What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: Too many things to list in an intro.

Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): Enjoy long walks on the beach at sunset, drinking piña coladas, the feel of the ocean, and the taste of champagne. :) Keeping it vague because there are crazies on this site.

@shlecks Welcome! It looks like your name change worked now. You probably had to sign out and back in for it to update.

@keikiluck Hello! Yes I just realized last night it ended up working! Nice to meet another AMA lady.
