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, my name is joyce...i am 34 yr old living in kincheloe, Michigan....i currently have 3 children ages 5,11 and 13 and my fiance Rob and i are thinking about #4.  this will be his 2nd child (although he has never seen his daughter who is 14)... so will be the first he is able to raise.  
my childrens names are caitlin(13) travis(11) and hunter(5).
we havent really decided whether to have a baby but are not doing anything to prevent it so we are basically thinking...what happens, happens...is easier than to stress over it every month.
I have had 2 midterm losses...the first was dec 91, i was 20 weeks and my water broke(she already was placenta previa) there was nothing that they could do about it, and i was induced 2 weeks later. it ended up being a girl...alexandria renee
The 2nd one i lost was June 98, all was going well until i went in for a checkup at 20 weeks and they couldnt find a heartbeat with the doppler so they sent me to u/s where he was flatlined.  I knew before they told me....that time it was something to do with chromosomes.  The doc i seen wanted me to carry til my body expelled him, BUT according to u/s he had died around the 16th week, so i had been carrying a dead fetus for about a month....i wanted it out.  So i called my regular Gyn and he got me in that very same day to be induced...that was a boy...James Allen
With both of them, i could not bring myself to have a d/c...it just seems too much like an abortion.
anyhow back to my story...lol...after my son hunter was born i got the Merina IUD because my dh at the time didnt want any more children and i didnt want a tubal (and those were the ultamatums i was given) i recently got the IUD removed (May 2nd) due to the side effects and am now hoping to get a BFP in the next couple of weeks as i was ovulating yesterday for sure....lol

If anyone needs help i am here, and i will be searching some out and be on the board most of the time as i really like this place....lots of sticky baby dust to you all....muah

I'm Chris, also not ttc right now, but have 2 gorgeous little boys.  Carson is 4 & 1/2 and Cameron is 13 months.  I would love to have one more, maybe in another year or two.  I have to get past the first 2 years first, my first son proved to be a handful the first 2 years and the second little boy has been no different.  I love the baby dust idea, when I do ttc, I also want some good baby dust, no more colicky babies hopefully!
