    Ages (you and SO): I’m 30, he’s 29

    How many months have you been TTC?: this is our first real month!! :) 

    What are you doing to get knocked up ?: Tracking CM, temping, going to try OPKs for the first time! Ive been tracking my cycle off BC for a couple years so I have a decent idea of ovulation time but we have a kind of low key sex life (long hours, shift work, etc So we don’t do it as much as we would like) so timing might be tricky but we’ll see!

    Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.): no kids yet, we have a dog and a cat! I work in veterinary medicine and He works in construction :) we are in the process of house shopping as well so that’s been keeping us pretty busy - it’s actually way more stressful than I thought it would be but the right house will come along! 

    I’m excited to be here with you guys and can’t wait to learn from everyone and experience this journey !

    Hi! 

    Im 28 and SO is 39 

    TTC for 2 cycles 

    Have just been tracking my chart, Started the OPK last cycle

    We are a blended family and have 3 boys 8,7,6 so it’s obviously WWE in our house. We have 2 dogs and a cat. My husband has been getting testosterone shots for 6 months and we just found out it has a high chance of stopping spent production. We now have gotten off of those shots and will be trying HCG shots for him instead but we are hopeful we can still get pregnant! 

    Looking forward to getting to know you ladies

    @ktinarose I'm also gearing up for a career change to teaching! I'm getting my second masters along with my credentials but I'm dragging it out as long as I can. I know it's the right move for my family, but it's hard to step away from the zoo world. What are you planning to teach?

    @ktinarose Hello and welcome 👋 and Happy Birthday 🥳 Hope you have a very Special day! I hope your stay here is short. This community of women is sooo amazing and will be able to answer any questions you may have along the way with TTC. I’ve never been a bartender before but I think it would be fun and I would love that too as I love making drinks for parties etc.

    @Amphibious22 I'm working on a master's in education and a multiple subject credential for k-8, but my favorite age group is 1-3 grade. It's been a long road for me too. Changing careers seemed scary at first but I believe it's the right move. I've always loved working with kids and it genuinely makes me happy. What are you hoping to teach? And you work in a zoo? That sounds like a dream career already! Lol

    @mindyb2019 thank you! Im glad to have found a place for support while TTC. Getting the BFN has been more stressful than I'd imagined. It's helpful to know there's a community of women facing the same thing.

    I love bartending! It is a lot of fun. I also think it'll be interesting to get Prego while bartending. I taste a lot of the drinks I make, especially when it's an intricate recipe .. so that's going to be a big change.

    Thank you again for the welcome!

    @ktinarose I'm doing single subject general science with the goal to teach middle school science. And being a zookeeper is wonderful and definitely dreamy most days, but it doesn't give a lot in terms of work life balance and that's been hard in recent years. It's going to be a tough career to say goodbye to when that time comes.
