Intro & Bummed

Hi ladies!  I haven't posted here because I was a frequent Knottie (just got married Sept 1st) and didn't want to advertise that we were trying to anyone who knew me from there.  But after 4 months of trying and yet still having regular visits from Aunt Flo, I figured it would help me to have some support from other ladies going through this exciting/frustrating process!  Plus like many of you, I had hoped to celebrate this New Years with sparkling apple juice, and I'm a bit bummed about it.

About us:

Me: 27 years old, aspiring romance novelist, graphic designer, travel enthusiast. 

Husband: 29 years old, Judge Advocate (lawyer) for the Marine Corps, fitness fanatic, Primal diet follower.

 

We aren't in a great rush, but we had been hoping to get pregnant before this month because of timing issues - we have to move in late October, and we won't know where until at least August.  But best laid plans of mice and men...

 

Happy New Years, nice to meet you, and good luck with New Years Eve baby-dancing!!!

 




Anniversary

Thanks!

 I have looked at it - I've read just about anything I can get my hands on!  I tend to go overboard with preparing - I had a pre-conception appointment with my gyno, am taking pre-natals (sometimes forgetful and miss a day, but I'm learing!), have been charting since last year (originally to prevent pregnancy, since the wedding to try to conceive).

 Last cycle we started using Mucinex (my CM is a bit thicker than it should be), and we'll be introducing PreSeed lube this month.

I'm on CD 5, so just starting out this month of trying.  Fingers crossed!  Otherwise it's 4 months off trying, which would be a bummer.

Ah yes - the necessary travel "stop trying" thing is so freaking annoying (and lots of people just don't get it). We're on a two month break for a necessary trip back to the US in Sept. It's so hard to do when you've spent months trying unsuccessfully! Good luck!

Oooh yes! I don't even think DH understands fully - it's not just a trip, we'll be moving to a new duty station in late October.  Which is basically wherever the Marines want to send him, so we could very likely be moving across the country or even to Japan.  If I'm in my third trimester, that's a tough move, and I'd have to find new doctors in our new location. 

 

He wants to keep trying and swears it will all work out, but I just don't want to find myself 7 months pregnant with a husband being sent to Japan and unable to go with him until two months AFTER the baby is born, meaning I'd have to give birth in Virginia by myself and he'd miss out on the first few weeks.  Oh, heck no!

I'll keep that in mind!  Cool

I was on BabyCenter's forums for a hot second before coming over here, and they seem to use "baby dance" religiously.  But after seeing a kajillion "tweak my tests" where girls tried to get everyone to use Photoshop to MAKE their HPT show a pretty pink line, I figured it wasn't really my show and figured I'd swing by this joint.
