Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to do a quick intro. I am a May 2015 alumni (originally from the bump) so I am not completely new to the getting knocked up boards, but we are gearing up to try for baby #2. Our daughter will be 1 in 2 weeks. It took us 7 months to get pregnant with her, after being on the pill for a long time (like 10 years).
I got pregnant last month unexpectedly since we weren't actively trying, but also not doing anything to prevent it. I, however, ended up having a chemical pregnancy and starting bleeding at 5 weeks exactly. I was a little surprised at the emotional roller coaster it put me on--fear and sadness that my daughter would have a sibling so close, then excitement when I saw my husbands reaction and happiness, acceptance, and then loss and grief--all in such a short period of time- I kind of felt like I was going crazy. Like always, TCF helped me through it with advice, understanding, and internet hugs. Regardless, it lead me to realize that I really am ready for #2, so here we are.
I think I belong in waiting to do something- since my period hasn't come since the loss of the pregnancy. MD told us to wait 1 cycle before trying. Not sure if I will be doing the FF, OPKs, and all that quite yet since I think I drove my husband (and myself) a little nuts last time, but I feel like I know my cycle much better and we will see what happens.
A little about me. I'm 27, DH is 30. K is 1. We have 2 fur babies, a rescue pit bull and a rescue pit bull/ bull dog mix. I'm a labor and delivery nurse and I love reading, body pump, chocolate milk, and celeb gossip.
I look forward to getting to know you.
