Anxiously introducing myself. Jun 16, 2016 14:07:42 GMT -5 via mobile

Post by lilmonk on Jun 16, 2016 14:07:42 GMT -5

Hello,

After a whirlwind of emotions after my BFP last night - I'm here.

According to my FF I'm due the 25th. I'm not having many symptoms, mainly some cramping, moments of stomach uneasiness.

My history: I've been dx with PCOS and thyroid issues, and after TFAS for 2 years, I got a BFP last July and experienced a loss. I decided to work on myself emotionally and physically after that. I was supposed to wait TTC until August due to having a surgery in March, but funny how life works out.

I'm an emotional ball of anxiety right now. I'm excited and scared. My husband is excited, and wants to shout it to the world, but I've asked him not to just yet.

What else about me- I enjoy reading and video games, cooking, redecorating my house and gardening. I have one DS who is turning 4 in a few weeks. I'm working in Mental Health but planning to go back to school soon. I am living as an expat in Australia, and have been here for 10 years.

I look forward to spending some time getting to know you all on this journey.

So sorry about your previous loss... the rollercoaster of ups and downs in this situation is tough, but enjoy the exciting moments as much as you can

Anyway, welcome!!

P.S. what does it mean when you say you're living as an expat? Just curious!
