Hi everyone, I'm Amber. My wife and I are both 35, have been together for ten years, in a civil partnership for seven and want to get married some time next year. I am mum to DD1 Daisy, who is 5, and DD2 Alice, who is 3. I am also pregnant with baby #3.
We started our process was back in January 2009, when we went for our first RE appointment. Daisy was born in January 2010 due to partner IVF (DW eggs, me carrying) with a unknown sperm donor. Then in June 2010 after two IUI's I fell pregnant with our second child, however I lost the baby at 15 weeks pregnant due to unknown causes. We decided to sign up for adoption and were extremely lucky to get to adopt our beautiful Alice when she was just 10 weeks old in May 2012. Since then we've thought a lot about having a third (and eventually fourth, we hope) and after another round of IVF last month I am five weeks pregnant with baby#3!
We are very excited to be having another baby, though we haven't told anybody yet and we (me especially) are dealing with a serious case of PGAL brain. My wife is an engineer, and I was a primary school teacher, but have been a stay at home mum since Daisy arrived.

sadly, there are a few other PgAL moms here as well. Glad you found us & feel free to jump into the pregnancy and parenting check-ins! Look forward to getting to know you!
