What is your name (or a name you'd like to be called)? - My name is Gladys.

How did you come up with your username? - A friend gave that to me since I want to be a mommy.

How long have you been TTC? - Since 2002. I had an ectopic pregnancy in April 2002 and a series of miscarriages after that. Then I stopped trying till 2006 when I went to see a fertility Dr. I did my first IUI but it was not successful and stopped trying again. I started seeing my current fertility Dr. just about two months ago.

How did you come up with your username? My name and date me and DH got married

How long have you been TTC? 13 years

How did you find out about APA? Googled early pregnancy signs

Anything else you'd like to add?Well I am 37 and DH is 33, our DS is almost 15 and we have been trying for 13 years to have another beautiful child. With no luck because the doctor said because of my DH having sugar so bad that he probably couldn't have anymore. So we stopped trying and adopted 2 beautiful little girls (they r sisters)well 2 months after we got the girls I started feeling "different" so I took a test like I have done over and over for 13 years but this time I got a BFP! I remember just standing there staring and I could believe what I was seeing so I took 5 more tests then the dr confirmed it. My heart sank 2 weeks later when I started to bleed and had a MC on 5/21/08 We am just hoping and praying that since it happened once that it can and will happen again.

My name is Tammy. I am 32 and my DH is 37l. We have a 2 year old daughter.

My screen name is what I use at work and would be the easiest to remember!

We just started back at TTC for a second -- though DH would prefer to only have our daughter, but I insist on a 2nd -- though he says he would love the 2nd just as much.

I found APA when I was pregnant with my daughter and then this week when I was googling and thought I would join.

Everyone has been so kind and helpful. I'll most definitely be sticking around through TTC and hopefully we'll conceive soon (if we haven't already)!

Hello -- Everyone -- Good Luck!

[txgirlykc]

My name is Kari. I am 28 and my DH is 29. My DH has a 20 month old son and I have been a part of his life since he was 3 months, but now I would really like one of our own. We have recently married and have been trying for about 6 weeks now. I just bought an ovulation kit.

My screen name is txgirlykc. It is my screen name for everything and is easy to remember.

We have been TTC for 6 weeks, but really a year because we knew we wanted one as soon as we met so never used protection and just said "if it is meant to be, it will be."

I found APA when I was googling for information regarding the Answer ovulation kit that I bought, which I have found mixed reviews, but trying something is better than nothing.

Well, I really just wanted to talk to women who are going to be dealing with the same thing that I am about to start going through. I have wanted a baby since I was 16 and I knew I had to wait until the right time. Well, I am 28 and recently married and now is the earliest "right time" that I can think of! I have names, room decor and everything picked out. I have always wanted this and just to know that it is okay to start trying is amazing. Walking into the store with my husband to get a kit so that we can create a life is just undescribable. I never thought I would get to this place.

[Pam]

My name is Pam, and I'm 29 my DH is 34 and we currently have no children but we have fun spoiling our English Cocker Spaniel, Zeke.

My screen name is obvious (I can't ever remember crazy screen names)

We have been TTC casually since February. We really tried in May and had a BFP on June 11th, and an mc on June 20th. Heartbreaking. So, we are eagerly awaiting the next cycle so we can try again. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and was on methotrexate for a year, but I have been off of it since December and put on Embrel. Since the mc I am only taking very small prednisone.

I found out about APA through my best friend who had her baby yesterday!

I just wanted to make connections with women who are going through the same thing as me. Also, I would love to chat with anyone TTC who has RA.
