Hi Everyone,
I did an introduction in the TTC board, but learned that I could post a separate intro thread as well, so here goes!
My name is Kim, I'm 32, and I've been happily married for 2 years (together for 5). My wife, R (38), and I began talking about starting a family over a year ago but the timeline was delayed first due to graduate school, then I traveled to Panama and Colombia (zika), and now I am FINALLY about to be at day 1 of our first round of trying! Hence, why I'm finally getting active on TCF because my brain is on overload with thoughts/emotions/etc. We live in the Boston area with our 2 dogs and 2 cats.
I’m currently a full-time graduate student (MBA) doing some work on the side (end career goal is real estate development). I’m hoping to keep the stress level much lower this fall compared to last year so that it doesn’t affect our TTC journey. I learned last month through testing, that I'm not ovulating normally, so we will be doing our first IUI with femara and early monitoring. I was supposed to be at CD1 this past Saturday but am 3 days late for my period (no chance I’m pg, likely the anticipation or the fact that I exercised a ton the last 2 weeks which is not normal for me). So now of course I’m anxious to get this cycle started so we can arrive at the much anticipated first IUI cycle. Does anyone have experience with this when they are normally pretty regular to the day but something throws it off? I felt like the benefit of exercise (mostly yoga) outweighed the potential changes to my system, but now I'm not so sure.
I have serious "babies on the brain" syndrome right now and look forward to having this as a place to chat with like-minded folks going through (or having gone through) the same or similar process. Thank you all for being here!
