    Hey! My names Emily, I’m 28 and my dh is 31. I’m a bump veteran, I have a feb16 boy and a July18 boy. Considering starting ttc #3 here soon. We were going to start ttc back in March but Covid hit our area really hard so we decided to put it off. With #1 it took us 9m ttc, but I feel like I might have stressed myself out a little lol. With #2 we got pregnant in the first month trying- which was crazy!
    My family enjoys anything outdoorsy! We have a camper and spend tons of time in the woods, at parks, hiking, fishing, hunting, etc! We love going on vacations, but Covid has dampened that a ton. I’m also pretty crafty. I enjoy any hot glue projects, crocheting, and kids crafts. 
     I’m surrounded by boys (even the dogs are boys!!!) and would LOVE a little girl to add to the mix. Anyways, I’m glad to be here and excited to get to ttc within the next couple months!

    Hi all, I'm Angie, I'm 37, DF is Derrick and is 28 (yeah yeah, I know). I'm currently a mom of a moody almost-15-year-old daughter. DF and I have been together for 4 years and were supposed to get married this October but COVID kinda put all our wedding prep on hold, so we're pushing it to next October. We've been wanting to TTC for a while but wanted to get married first, but now that that's on hold - and I'm not getting any younger - we feel that now's a good time as any and hopefully will have know more guest at the wedding! I just had my IUD removed and we are giving my body some time to adjust so we'll be actively TTC next month, hopefully for a June baby!

    Derrick and I are a match made in crazy heaven! We met at work a few years ago and despite our efforts, we just were just drawn together like 2 crazy magnets! DH gets along great with him which is more than I could ever ask for. DH is not keen on the idea of having siblings, mostly due to her dad's side where she has 2 step-sisters and a half-brother, all with whom she has a rather tentative relationship with, so we've kept our plans on the down-low. I feel once she realizes she not going to get pushed aside here as she has at her dad's, she may be more accepting of it.

    I'm excited to be on this path again after so long and it almost seams surreal, as we've talk about and dreamed about this stage for a very long time (DF gets the baby-bug worse than I do sometimes!).

    Oh! I'm also mommy to a somewhat sullen black kitty named Wednesday whom we adopted a year ago next month. We hope to expand our fur-children to dogs as well, once we have more room (have I also mentioned we're house-hunting?). We're all into a variety of "nerdy stuff" so don't be surprised if you catch me making a ton of movie and TV references (And quotes. Lots and lots of movie quotes).

    Can't wait to chat with you all and best wishes to everyone on their TTC journey!

    @mavi16 welcome to TTGP; this is a very supportive community so hopefully you’ll find the support you’re looking for here. Also it’s great that your doctors are starting IF work up now instead of having you at minimum 12 months. GL and as @chindimples04 pointed out, the IF thread might be a good place for you.
