[greenchild]

I'm greenchild, a.k.a Anne, DH & I have been together 13 yrs, married 11 yrs, and have 2 furbabies, Carl (9 in Sept) & Iria (8), and we've had lost 2 pregnancies so far in our journey of TTC over the last 2 1/2 yrs. Both of my tubes have been removed as a result of these pg's and there is still a question of whether or not the left one at least is growing back, but there's a link in my siggy about all of that. Right now we are in the midst of a major remodeling project in our house, which has helped me stay busy since our last loss, and I suppose I really should be downstairs working on that instead of reading/posting on JM!

Hi ladies, I'm Taryn aka mrsdismang. I'm 23 and DH is 22. We have been married since last October and have been TTC since January of this year. We have 4 furbabies, Yoda (chihuahua) is 6, DeeDee and Turbo (kittens) are going to be one in September and Leia is their mother who is probably around 2 years old. We have one little baby in heaven (8wk4d) who left us June 11th. That was my first pregnancy so I was really excited about it and it only took us 3 months to conceive so we are not too worried about getting a BFP again, just hope it is this cycle. I am waiting to ovulate and hoping for that positive OPK every day! Nice to meet you gals!

Hello everyone, my name is Erika, im 20 years old, married for a year and a half to my wonderful husband Matthew who is 22...we started TTC in Jan of this year, got our first BFP on our one year wedding anniversary on April 30th, but had a m/c at 6 weeks along at the beginning of May...we have been actively ttc again since my first post-m/c AF which came about 5 weeks after the m/c...i just started using OPK's this cycle, yesterday was my first one, came out negative, took one this afternoon and it was +, so we are BDing like crazy, hoping to ovulate in the next day or two, and hoping and praying that God will bless us with our miracle...we are so ready for a baby and cant wait to be parents, hopefully someday soon....good luck to everyone!!

[*Bobbie*]

Hi! I am Bobbie... I am 32. My SO is Dave and he is 42. We each have two kids from previous marriages. Mine are 16 and 12. His are 16 and 13. We lost our baby in March at 14 weeks. We knew at 11 weeks the baby had died. The m/c started when my water broke and ended 5 days later when I had to have a D&C. My body just wasn't gonna give up.

Random things about me....

I am a fraternal twin. I have a sister three minutes older than me

I have three cats. Riley is an Egyptian Mau, Zeke is a Bengal (and needs to find another home soon), and Ford is a Bengal. My two Bengals refuse to accept each other.

I LOVE rollercoasters.

I would rather read than watch TV, but I love movies. All kinds!

I adore my God-child Leeanna...she is the cutest preschooler I have ever seen.

I work retail and love it. I have been there for 16 years and still enjoy going to work 99% of the time.

I am addicted to my camera... I really enjoy taking pics of just about anything.

We cruise as much as possible.. but this year we have only gone once due to the pregnancy and misscarriage.

That's all I can think of...oh yeah and I really want another baby. Dave and I would love to have one of our own. Maybe two

[fairy9800]

My name is Nikki. I am 26 and DH is 27. DH and I have been married for almost 7 years. I have two kids, Michael is 10 and Kira is 6. We lost our little angel on Feb.11th of this year. We have just now started TTC again because I had to go back on the pill since my body just didn't want to get back to normal. That's honestly all I can think of right now.

[dee68]

Hi ladies,

My name is Dee..38, live with my wonderful super fantastic fiance, Mick ..
..I do know some of you from the PL board, and am now enjoying settling in here as well.
Last year I moved to Illinois from NJ, we found out last August I was pregnant.....nothing could have made us happier at that moment....sadly it was short lived. after many visits to doctors that were um...well lets just say HORRIBLE, and what I think were way too many internal U/S ( 5 total in 3 weeks) I lost our angel.
it took me a long time to get past the " why me?" what did I do wrong? will I ever have a baby?.....
I know my angel is always with us, and yes, sometimes at night I tell him goodnight, and when I am tending to his rose garden, I do talk to him. ( we didnt know for sure if he was a boy, but something in my heart & soul told me).

so here I am, just started charting, and really feel positive ! Mick & I are planning our wedding for Aug 2008.....and I am hoping to either be waddling down the aisle or carrying a little one in my arms


to all !!!

[MrsRodgers]

Hi, I'm Jen aka Mommajenny. I'm 34 and DH will be 31 in August. We've been together for two years and married since December '06. We had a m/c and a D&C at 8 weeks, and only two weeks before our wedding. I am a stepmom to an 8 year old girl who is delightful and we have been TTC since our loss in December. It only took one try to get PG last October, but not so easy this time. I just started charting and we are hoping that I am going to O soon. My OPK the other day was negative but I am going to do another one today and see what's what.

We also have five furbabies--Izzy, a yellow lab, Ralphie, a boxer/bull mix, two cats--Jedi and Brody and a hamster named Zim (he's really my step-daughter's but we keep an eye on him when she is with her mom).

I'm at work right now but yesterday DH and I had the day off together and went out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory!!! Boy was that awesome. I love food and I love to cook and bake so a good date night has to involve food!!

[SheilaRN]

I'm Sheila, 33 and DH is Sam, 31. We have been together for 4 1/2 yrs and will celebrate our 3rd anny is Oct. We currently have 4 fur babies with kittens due by the end of next month. We have 1 angel named Annika. Annika was delivered at 29wks and didn't survive due to her lungs never developing. We also found out that she had a rare syndrome called Pena-Shokeir which ultimately was the reason her lungs never grew. We were told there is a 25% chance of this reaccuring in future pg. We're hoping to beat the odds and get our BFP soon and bring home a bundle of joy.

I work for the Post Office and DH runs the trucking dept of the company he works for. We love to travel and do just about anything outdoors.
We have hosted exchange students and are waiting the arrival of our next one within the next wk.

[~*Kixs*~]

I am Nikki aka babygoose. I am 25 and DH is 26. We have been together for almost 8 years and married for 3 1/2 years. We have one DD (2) and 2 baby angels.

I have low progesterone and have to take a supplement during my 1st 13 weeks. The doctor thinks we lost the 1st baby due to this. I was on the supplement with the last baby but my Beta never got over 90. We think that m/c was due to just plain old bad luck. I have had no other testing to see if I have any other issues.

I am currently on CD 17 and think I am Oing early This is our first cycle of TTC since we lost our 2nd angel in May.

I am not sure if I have shared this but my screen name babygoose is what DD named our 2nd angel when I was PG with the baby. Today is our 2 month angelversary. I have really been on a rollacoster lately.

I also have a TTC journal (Nikki's Journal) if anyone wants to learn more about us.

[*Mrs.T*]

Im Kaylie and Ive been married to my husband Casey since Feb '06. We have a little girl Mahayla who is 4 months old. I miscarried in June of this year. I was on BCP but decided that we would start TTC #2. I think I O'd this month so now its just waiting

[sillygirl5]

I'm Amanda, I'm 27, DH Jason is 28, we have been married for 5 years. I have had 2 m/c after the last one, I was diagnosed with MTHFR and PAI. We were given the green light ttc last cycle, but I ovluated too early (day 11). This cycle is scary for me as the days are 2 days off from my first pregnancy. I also started heparin on Tuesday, and now have a very ugly belly. I ovulated on Monday. I will have my progesterone checked on Tuesday (7/31).

DH and I both work for the university. We have 3 geckos, 1 bearded dragon (my sweetheart), and a bird (our demon child!).

[Aleta]

Hello, I am new here. My name is Aleta, screenname Aleta2boys and my DH is Ronnie. We have 2 DS ages 6 and 3-1/2. We had a d&c on 7/10/07. So right now we are in waiting mode until we can start trying. This was my 2nd m/c. I had my first before my DS was born, they think due to low progesterone. I was on progesterone supplements for both my boys and they are perfect. This pregnancy I started progesterone late, because we weren't trying and it was a bit of a surprise, so I don't know if that is the reason I m/c. The doctor advised waiting until after my 2nd AF to TTC. It is nice to meet all you ladies.

[~Annissa~]

I'm Annissa, I'm 26 (27 on Aug. 25th!)and DH is 30. We've been married just over 7 years. We have two beautiful children who will be 7&5 in Sept, we have one angel in heaven. I found out at 9 weeks that I was carrying an empty sac and miscarried it 16 days later. We had been trying to conceive since Sept of '04. I have PCOS and Insulin Resistance and we start Clomid as soon as I get AF. I am praying for a Spring/Summer 2008 baby!
Non-ttc info,
I am working at becoming a photographer and LOVE it! DH is in the Navy for 8 years now! We have moved 9 times in 7 years! We are scheduled to be in CT until Feb of '09 and then I'm hoping we can go back to WA state and stay for a while! My baby starts Kindergarten this fall, and I'm a wreck about it! I may be going with her everyday!
Babydust for all of us!!
