    Hello all! I am 41 (will be 42 later this year) and my husband is 45. We have been TTC for a little over a year now. I have started my cycle of Clomid on 8/16, which I took for 5 days. Then the Ovidrel injection on 8/16 and on progesterone capsules since 8/21. I am scheduled for my test in a week 9/4. Since yesterday, I have been experiencing mild to serve cramping. I contacted my Dr. and was informed that it's common to feel a bit of cramping in early pregnancy. I'm trying not to get too excited, as I have read that some women experience cramping taking progesterone.

    We both work demanding jobs in the legal industry, but a healthy work-life balance is important, so I always to try make time for fun. When I'm not spending time with family and friends, I enjoy traveling, dinning out, karaoke. The fall is my favorite season, so I'm looking forward pumpkin spice, football, Halloween and Thanksgiving.

    I look forward to connecting with others in the community <3

    Welcome, @mrich82! I hope your stay here is short and sweet 💛

    Wow, this makes me realize I haven’t thought about doing karaoke in forever! What’s your go-to song to perform?

    Hi everyone! 

    I'm 32, my partner is 37, and we just started trying to conceive this month. I have two kids (8f, 7m) from my previous marriage and really thought I was done, but, turns out that I very much want to add another little one to our family. I really loved the Bump community during my first pregnancy so I figured I'd come back and connect with people on the same journey again.

    We're both big into video games, we actually met on one, and play together pretty much daily. I'm also a big reader and love to curl up with a book and a blanket. I homeschool both of my children, which I stress about a lot because I'm terrified of not doing enough - but theyre both neurodivergent so this just fits their needs better for now.

    I hope I'll be able to share in everyones journey ♥

    Hello everyone! 

    I’m 39 and my husband is 47. We have four beautiful children (ages 16, 13, 12 and 7). My husband had a vasectomy shortly after our youngest was born. We have recently been talking a lot about wanting one more- we always wanted a huge family. He has a consultation scheduled for the end of this month, to look into getting a reversal. We hope for him to get a reversal asap so we can start trying 😁

    I love to read, and to de-stress I really enjoy working out. My husband doesn’t have much hobbies but he does work a lot (he works in the solar energy field). We have two mini aussies and two Persians, and a beautiful farmhouse in the country that is surrounded by apple orchards. We are quite blessed but hope for one more precious baby to complete our family. I’m happy to be joining this community!
