TTC-Introduce Yourself!

Hey ladies!!! I thought we should start a post to introduce ourselves. I'll go ahead and start!

I'm Joy and I'm happily married to Daniel who is becoming a pastor. We had our first daughter, Elaina, in 2005. We had a miscarriage in April 2006. And by July 2006 I had a BFP with our second daughter, Abigail, who was born in March 2007.

We are in our second month of TTC baby #3. Just found out I MIGHT have PCOS because my testosterone levels are high.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Sarah, I'm 26 living in Perth Australia, and I've been ttc for 6 months. I was on the pill for nearly 13 years due to painful AF's.

I have a horrible dark secret.
I fell pregnant whilst on the pill 18months ago. I ended up having to have a DNC Feb 07 (at 8wks) as I was on other medication that was apparently very bad for a developing foetus. It caused deformation and lung problems. Hardest moment of my life, sometimes I wonder if I'm being punished for not following through with the pregnancy. Then I tell myself I'm being selfish as the bub would have been in pain. It makes me tear up just thinking about it.

Since then I feel as though my hormones are sending me crazy wanting to fall pregnant. I ignored them for as long as I could, then my loving partner told me he wants me to have his baby and as I said before, we've been ttc 6months.

My dr is sending me to a specialist and I eagerly await that day... August 15th....

Good luck to you all and the stickiest healthiest baby dust to you all!

Hi everyone,
My name is Carri.  I am 31, married and TTC.  I am stressing b/c the anticipation of whether or not I'll get my period next Tues is killin me!  I wore the OvWatch, it gave me my fertile days and ov days b/c my cycles are so different.  As of now, I am very sleepy, kinda queesy.  The thing is, I had plastic surgery & so I'm not sure if the soreness of breasts will happen to me.  I also have a white, creamy discharge but the test I took tonight was neg...it may be too soon though.  Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?  Thanks so much!

Hello everyone.  My name is Cristina, I'm 31 and TTC (and getting used to all the new acronyms!) with my partner.  I had my first two IUIs on July 2 & 3.  I've been kind of bad as far as taking EPTs before I should have (all three negative).  I'm going in for my blood test on Thursday morning.  I know the odds are low (frozen sperm, first cycle), but I'm staying hopeful.  What a great forum to have come across at this crucial moment. Baby dust to everyone here!

Hi everyone.  my name is leighanne, i am 25 and TTC my first baby.  I have been with my fiance for 7 years although we both are in no rush to tie the knot which sounds odd but makes sense to us but are completely commited to eachother.  We ended up having 2 MC's in 5 months, went through all the miscarriage testing and here we are now TTC again with the approval of the doctor who found nothing wrong.  I am 2DPO and am hoping to be a Feb 09 Mommy:)

i would like to take a moment to welcome all of our newcomers, good luck in your journey...you will find all of the ladies on these threads very nice, warm, and informative.  they have been where you are or are still there.

i am currently ttc #4... and have just started to ttc...this is my first cycle.  i am not expecting miracles as i recently (May 2nd) had a Merina IUD removed.  so i could get lucky right away or be like most and it take a good 6 mos to get back on track. i hope i am one of the lucky ones.

i am 11dpo and CD31 so i have been testing but i believe it has been a tad early...lol...i am bad about that...i buy tests so i have them for later...and later never comes...lol

anyhow good luck and ask anything you need answered we would be more than happy to help...just into any of the threads and have a look
