How many months have you been TTC?: 0 - kind of starting? I haven't gotten a real period as I'm still BF, but I did spot for a few days last month so I'm using that as the beginning??? Honestly, no idea.
What are you doing to get knocked up (WAYDTGKU)?: I'm starting to get in the habit of temping and I'm using premom OPKs just to see if there's any pattern happening.
Tell us about yourself! (Kids, pets, job, hobbies, etc.) I have an almost 1 year old (part of November 19 bump group ), met DH in college, live in SoCal, really into DIY home projects during lockdown...Just excited to y'all! I couldn't resist joining with @emerald@emeraldcity1214 !!
@mc0303 Welcome to the group! Hopefully you'll find good support in this community. And that your stay here is short.
