I'll go first!

1) Do you work? What do you do? I am an English as a second language teacher right now, I work 8-2 Monday through Friday, I LOVE my job its very low stress and still in my field. I am going to be taking a course this summer to get my Virginia certification for elementary ed, with high hopes of teaching in the fall at the school I currently work at. I'm originally from Fl and my certification didn't transfer over since I didn't teach in Fl.

2) How long have you been TTC since your loss? Or how long did it take for all our preggo girls. This is my second cycle trying again, third cycle since my m/c. It took us 3 months the first time, hopefully it won't take long this time.

3) What are you doing differently this cycle, or the cycle you got pregnant? I'm thinking about not temping this cycle but using robitussion to help get more fertile CM.

4) How old are you? 23, will be 24 May 18th.

5) Where do you live? I live in Virginia, wishing we were in Fl. DH is a Marine and we're stationed here for the next 3-4 years.

Great idea!

1) Do you work? What do you do? I am the operations manager for a steel distributor. I have been with the company for 12 years and its a full time job. I finally got my bachelor's degree last summer after 11 years of part time college.

2) How long have you been TTC since your loss? Or how long did it take for all our preggo girls. We got our November BFP as a surprise, we were actually trying to avoid. When we lost the baby early January, we started trying again right away. We had 2 BFN cycles, and got our BFP this third cycle!

3) What are you doing differently this cycle, or the cycle you got pregnant? Extra vitamin B6, robitussin, CVS Conceive lubricant, progesterone right after O, and green tea

4) How old are you? 29. Hitting the big 3-0 this October.

5) Where do you live? Tennessee

1) Do you work? What do you do? I work full time at a pediatricians office. Not really in the fun part though...I mostly do billing and stuff like that. So bring on your insurance questions! haha!

2) How long have you been TTC since your loss? Our BFP came as kind of a surprise too, since we had just started ntnp, but when I lost it in Feb we were devestated. We're not actively "trying" this cycle, but if I don't get a bfp this cycle it's on the next cycle.

3) What are you doing differently this cycle, or the cycle you got pregnant? I might just moniter cm and go by dates and stuff for a few cycles, if that doens't work then probably opk's.

4) How old are you? 26, turning 27 in June

5) Where do you live? About 20 mins outside Seattle

Evelyn - I'm jealous...I LOVE BC!

Kary - I hope that you get your BFP! Good luck, honey!

I'm in medical administration, so I work at a hospital.

We weren't TTC when we got pregnant with PJ. We didn't even know that we could get pregnant naturally.

I'm turning 25 in July.

I live in Alberta, Canada.

1) Do you work? What do you do? I work as a Staffing Specialist in a Professional Services Firm. Basically trying to fill projects with our internal staff, depending on their quals and availability. I work Mon-Friday, 8-4, but sometimes things have to be done after hours or on weekends. just comes with the job.

2) How long have you been TTC since your loss? Or how long did it take for all our preggo girls. I just got AF, so this will be our first cycle after the loss. It took me 2 cycles to conceive before we lost the baby. with all my pregnancies we've been pretty lucky to get a BFP within 2 cycles.

3) What are you doing differently this cycle, or the cycle you got pregnant? I will be using an OPK and pretty much BD the day I O. Since I already have 2 girls and 1 boy, I want to hopefully even out the odds and have a boy, so I will do everything possible to conceive a boy. But I will be happy with boy or girl. Jut gotta try, you know.

4) How old are you? Just turned 36 in December

5) Where do you live? In Canada. Brampton, Ontario. It's close to Toronto

1) Do you work? What do you do? I'm a SAHM, my work is NEVER done! lol I used to be in management for several years, and nearly a year ago I got the chance to go back to being a SAHM and I jumped at it. I hated my job, and always wanted to stay at home.

2) How long have you been TTC since your loss? Or how long did it take for all our preggo girls.

Most recently, 8 months. We started TTC in March of 2006 and we've had 5 losses since then.

3) What are you doing differently this cycle, or the cycle you got pregnant?

This cycle is just a NT/NP cycle. Next cycle (or the one after depending on when it starts) we'll go back to using clomid again.

4) How old are you?

I'll be 29 next month

5) Where do you live?

Southern Iowa
