Re: Who are WE?
I'm Jennifer age 30 will be 31in July DH is Tommy age 30 will be 31 in June Dating for 10 years engaged for 3 years. Married on 10/10/04
Have been trying since honeymoon and have never been pregnant before.
I am physically ok and so is DH but DH is a 1st year resident at Stonybrook hospital and works a lot of hours. We hardly see each other and when I think it is the right time to baby dance he is not home. I am trying to be optimistic about the situation but it is hard sometimes. It can become stressful but it is so nice to have all you girls to talk to. And I wish us all lots of Baby Dust

Kara, I never heard of doing that to keep the swimmers in place. Did you read that somewhere? Maybe there is something to it since you got pregnant. Congratulations!!!!! I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.
Nope, I didn't read it anywhere, but felt I had to help the swimmers stay afloat somehow!!
BD to everyone, some of you have really been through a lot. I hope to keep seeing more and more announcements of 'IT WORKED!!!'

Re: Who are WE?
Me: Lauren 29 (30 in June) DH: Scott 31 Together since 1999, married last October.
TTC since January.
Lots of abnormal paps & culposcopies (sp?) in my life to remove precancerous cells due to some issues I won't get into on a public forum.
Very irregular cycles since going off BC in October of 2004. Looks like I'm a 51 day cycle girl.
Despite being given a clean bill of health pre-TTC by my doctor, if it doesn't work this month I'm headed to a OBGYN to get checked.
Baby dust to all!!

I'm Nicole (28) DH is Jim (34)
We met in Aug 2001, got engaged three months later(!!) and then married in Oct 2002.
We've been TTC for 8 or 9 months. No luck, so now I'm trying Clomid, although I haven't been diagnosed with any specific problems.

Re: Who are WE?
I am Lissette (27) DH is John (29)
Dating since 4/99, engaged 8/03, married 9/04. Never been on BC.
Got pregnant during 'whatever happens, happens' stage in Oct/Nov. Had a late m/c in 2/05 - @ exactly 16 weeks. Induced to give birth.
Both still hesitant about actively TTC, but back to the same 'whatever happens, happens' stage. Reading up on charting, and trying to familiarize myself with my body.
Good topic!

Just be careful because I've read before that you should not use a tampon unless you have AF because it can tear you 'in there' if you are not wet enough and insert one.

I heard the same thing and it can cause Toxic Shock Syndrome from the leftover fibers. I would definitely consult a Dr. before doing that. JMHO.
