Hey ladies!
Some of you may remember me - I was last here Feb 1, the day I got my first BFP. After that I was active in the O15 board until I had a MMC at 8 weeks and a D&C on March 5. (The full saga can be read here.) It was a heartbreaking experience, but all in all I think DH and I are doing pretty well now. A spate of recent pregnancy announcements has been a difficult reminder of the loss, though, including a co-worker who announced his wife is expecting the same month I would have been. Nevertheless, DH and I are staying positive and I'm trying to enjoy my new-found time (i.e. drinking privileges) by spending a weekend in New Orleans with my mom and sister, and celebrating my BFF's birthday in Sonoma. Just trying to enjoy the moment.
I've been taking a break from the boards while I healed physically and emotionally. Now I'm on CD1 of our first of 2 benched cycles and looking forward to June(-ish) when we can burn the bench and start TTC once again. (I know there is a great TTCAL board, but since I remember many of you from a few months ago, I'd like to make this my primary sandbox.) So I'll be charting and TTA for a bit and enjoying the sisterhood. I'm also trying to get back to my best eating and fitness habits, which all went to ruins during and after the MC.
For those of you who don't remember me, a quick intro: I am a city girl and work in public health. I love traveling, nachos, green smoothies and good TV. (So glad Mad Men, Game of Thrones and Veep are back this month!) I am a Type A to a fault, married to a classic Type B, but we make it work. Most of my friends are "child-free and loving it" at this point, so this community is my safe space and my well of wisdom. So while I wish the circumstances were different, I'm glad to be here.
