[libs]

This is great - loads I didn't know about you all

Anna - my dad and stepmum lived in Hereford for a long time, I missed visiting when he moved Lovely place


Vikky - didn't know you were moving to Australia - how exciting

and if anyone else is reading this thread...see how annoying it is when people tell us to relax

 

[BabyDreams]

those of us still TTC - lets get to know a little about each other...

Thought I'd add mine too! Even though we won't offically start TTC till September. I am a teacher in the US - we get 3 months off for summer break starting the end of May. We are trying to plan the baby to arrive during that time, as I get longer for summer than I would for maternity leave.

1. How long have you been TTC? We are getting ready to start actively TTC. I had been on birthcontrol since 15 years old, and just came off of it about a year ago. I am trying to sort out my cycles and when I ovulate and all that before we start TTC. I think it'll be less stressful if I know what's going on with my body. So, this is my 2nd cycle on the forum...but will start TTC in September.

2. Have you had any medical intervention/treatment? no.

3. Do you or OH have children? This would be our first. We've been married for a little over a year now.

4. Where do you live? We live in the US, in South Carolina. Just so you know -- this is the best TTC forum in THE WORLD!!!

5. How old are you and OH? I'm 26 and DH is 29.

6. Do you already have names picked out for your future LOs? (be honest ) We have a LONG list of both boy and girl names, but I do have my favorites. Right now I love Daliah for a girl and Dylan for a boy.

7. What old wives tales or folk remedies do you follow to help you TTC? none yet.

8. Does everyone (ie family and friends) know you're TTC? Two of my close friends know, and my youngest sister. No one else.

9. What thought keeps you going each month when AF arrives? At least I can have a nice strong drink tonight!

10. What's the most annoying thing someone has said to you about TTC?(you know - the little lines everyone trots out to you ) Nothing yet, but one of my friend's eyes went as big around as saucers and I thought she was gonna choke on her food when I told her. Makes me wonder what she was thinking.

 

[Alicebabe]

Great idea!

1. How long have you been TTC? We tried for 7 months last year before our wedding and have now been trying for nearly 3 months so a grand total of 10 months

2. Have you had any medical intervention/treatment? No, nothing but will seek medical help in a couple of months if still no progress

3. Do you or OH have children? No, neither of us - TTC our first

4. Where do you live? Southampton!

5. How old are you and OH? Both 27

6. Do you already have names picked out for your future LOs? (be honest) Er, Yeah Daisy or Finley

7. What old wives tales or folk remedies do you follow to help you TTC? Nothing, tried the MM but made me feel ill so just lots of BD!

8. Does everyone (ie family and friends) know you're TTC? My closest friends and our parents have their suspicions - we are newlyweds for goodness sake!

9. What thought keeps you going each month when AF arrives? Lots of upcoming BD next month!

10. What's the most annoying thing someone has said to you about TTC? 'Just relax, it will happen' - yeah but when?!!!
