So what’s your story?

Question

We’re sharing all these intimate things, might as well get to know each other a little better. Haha. So what’s your story, TTC journey and outside of that. Maybe we have more in common than just BD-ing at the same time. 😂🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

Such a great idea! And loved reading all of your comments!! I’m Alyson. 29 years old and have been with DH for 4 years- married September 16 2017. He’s the most amazing man & especially in this process that can be so stressful. We both have jobs in the alcohol industry which can provide with fun times but can be stressful. I’m a brewery rep for a brewery here in Ohio. Been with them for almost a year! We just got a Bernedoodle puppy in October named Bear. He’s just the sweetest thing!!! We love spending time with family & friends and are constantly entertaining- which if i keep receiving BFNs- I might take a break from the vodka sodas & beer! Lol! Thank you all for sharing your stories- it was a nice to distraction. Now back to checking if my nipples look darker...... 😂

Answer

Hey y'all! I'm 28, I've been with DH for 5 years, married for 1. We are finishing our delayed honeymoon and just got back into the Lower 48 after spending 10 days in Alaska and I honestly wish we didn't have to come back. It was kinda nice to be away for a while and not have to answer to anybody.  Let's see, I'm a 911 dispatcher for the next county, he's a Transit dispatcher for the next town over. We have four fur babies of various levels of wonderful, two dogs and two cats.  We're looking to make it two adults, two dogs, two cats and two children eventually.  We're in our first month of actively TTC and we were on vacation during the green week so we were BD for the goal!!  Now we work  through the TWW and if I get a BFP, I'm going to try and hold off telling him until his birthday because they're close so fingers crossed and baby dust for everyone!!!

Answer

I am so glad this group exists.

TL;DR: I like maker spaces, video games, and the word "gambol." I dislike pants.

I am 29, married to my high school sweetheart for 6 years this year. I am a southern belle transplanted into the great white north. Hubz and I attended different colleges in the capital of South Carolina. I went to an all women's college and it was one of my better life decisions. After graduation, we eloped to the first place with a good job offer - which happened to be Wisconsin. He got the job, I got a career desert. I majored in Speech &Language; therapy but my passion has always been in teaching English and Reading with a bit of Computer Science in the mix. My hubz is a developer and I am a crafter/tinkerer and the kind of person that like to create things as much as I destroy them. I also love video games, but I am pretty picky about what I like to play. I love the Fallout series and currently been into my Nintendo Switch.

I babysit part time for a family I've known since we moved here in 2011. I watch two kids, 10 and 7, boy and girl respectively. The oldest has Autism but he is high functioning. The family reminds me of a modern-day Adams Family. There have definitely been days where I have left and the kids are chasing each other with nunchucks. Meanwhile, mom is yelling after them "use them correctly like your father taught you!" I cherish them so much.

We have been TTC #1 for over a year now. I had my IUD removed this time last year and since then we have had one failed IUI and many months of bfns. While going through fertility treatments, my AMH levels were tested and came back extremely low (~0.3) but there was no diagnosis or even a further discussion on it.

And usually, I am pretty positive and hopeful. However, the dread of not having a biological child can really get a girl down sometimes, ya know?

Answer

I’m 29, I have two boys already from my previous husband, my boys are 9 and 5, eldest has autism which was diagnosed just before Christmas last year, it’s been a struggle at times but he’s such a great kid just can’t deal with his emotions or social situations. Been with my boyfriend two years, he has no children of his own so he’s really looking forward to being a dad even though he says he feels like it already to my boys. This is 4th month ttc. I to love playing video games, self confessed geek over here, sadly had to give up work because of my eldest so the days can be a bit boring and i never thought I’d say it but I really miss not working

Answer

I’m 32, I’ve been with my husband for almost 10 years but we just got married last year (7/8/17 ❤️💍) We have 2 fur babies, a 10yo min pin and a 2yo calico. I work with people with disabilities (that’s probably the main reason my back has been hurting!) I love crafting and playing video games. We’ve been TTC only one month.

Answer

Hi all!  I’m from Long Island!  I just turned 35 in April, DH is 28, and just got married 6/30/17 (almost our 1 year anniversary!).  We’re TTC #1 and have been purposely trying since Dec 2017.  We have 3 fur babies (2 doggies, Ella and Charlie, rescued from Puerto Rico from before the hurricane and 1 cat, Milo, who was a stray we took in).  I’m a speech therapist who works with 3-5 year olds and I love them but they also tire me out (also there is already a list of names that I will not name my children based off of previous students I’ve had lol).
