I'm Heather. I'm 27, living in LA and working as a baker. My husband and I got married in September and I'm on my 4th cycle TTC. I am having trouble sleeping, so I thought I'd introduce myself. I'd love to hear your stories as well. I know there is another section for cycle buddies, but I really like this group. I would love to meet some new friends who match my cycle

I am 9 days post ovulation and I have a 28 day cycle. Obviously I'm hoping that this month is the one for us, but I'm doing my best to avoid testing until Saturday. 

My family is very fertile, and I don't have a huge support system simply because nobody in my family have ever really tried to get pregnant (I'm one of the only in our family to wait until my later 20s to start trying). This app and the community it creates has been super helpful for me. 

My husband and I did get pregnant once when we were much younger and before we even talked about getting engaged. We were in a bad place money-wise, I had no insurance, and overall it wasn't a smart time to bring a baby into the world. Still, at first I was opting to keep it, but we spent weeks talking it through, and he convinced me that we would have our baby one day, but that this was not it. I chose to do the pills option, which was the worst experience of my life, but I know that I made the right choice. I don't regret our decision, but it does haunt me every month that AF comes. I know it's mostly irrational, but I am afraid of the chance that I can't do it again. 

Many years later we are in the perfect place and feel very ready. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I'm feeling pregnant. It could be pms symptoms, but my breasts are very sore which is unusual before my period, I haven't been able to sleep a full night all week, and while I usually run around a temp. of 97.6, this week it has been up around 98.1.

I would love to hear about your stories and to meet some new friends. Have a great day!
