How long have you been TTC? Well, I have not been on any birth control since I had my LO. I started TTC (not hard core) in August 2010 and was told in January 2011 by my endocrinologist to stop TTC because my TSH was too low (i.e. i was very hyperthyroid) and only re-start when I had 2 normal lab results. So I have to re-started TTC this month again.

How did you find out about APA? google search when I started to TTC with the first one.

Anything else you would like to add? I am both nervous and excited.

Anything else you'd like to add? DH and I are both 41, have been married for almost 20 years and already have 3 great kids. We had an unintended "change of life" pregnancy last year which unfortunately ended in MC, but left both of us with the feeling that our family is not yet complete. Our kids are the center of our lives, and instead of looking forward to getting them grown up and out of the house like so many of our friend seem to be, we would like to start over with another child! Call us crazy, and who knows if it will work out (with our ages and all) but we are both hoping like crazy that we will be giving our teenage children a baby sibling soon!!

We went off of birth control on March 28th and it is taking longer then we hoped to get pregnant. I am trying not to worry, but its really hard.

How did you find out about APA?
I found you guys on google and I am glad that there are people out there who sort of can understand what I go through. It sort of seems like no one understands why I can't just look at my husband and get pregnant.

Anything else you'd like to add?
I have not had a period since May 8th, but we went to the doctor and they did a bunch of tests. The doctor is going to prescribe pills for me to have a period. They also said that I have follicles on my ovaries (or in my ovaries, i cant remember). I am a little disappointed that I haven't gotten pregnant yet and I am praying that before I take these pills that I will be able to get pregnant. Its the one thing that I have wanted more than anything else in the world.

[jelina]

A siggy may only have 1 pic line. The pic line can have multiple pics in it going across, but it should not exceed 320 pixels high. This means those of you that have pics on top of each other will need to change them. I couldn't ask for better virtual friends than the ones I have made here. Nothing is too gross, too silly or too complicated that you can't find the answer from someone - and even if we don't have the answer, we have nothing but encouraging words for each other.

[prayin4baby]

Hi everyone,
My name is Kimberly.
I came up with my username Prayin4baby a few years ago when I first joined this site. I joined when I was trying to get pregnant with my first child. I now have a precious little boy who will be 3 in December. APA is not new to me but I have not been in the TTC forum for quite some time. DH and I just started trying for baby #2 so I would like to wish everyone here great luck and lots of baby dust. I still remain very close with my fellow Dec 08 moms from this site and I hope to do the same with you.
