Introduction!
Hi all! My name is Aura and my husband and I will begin TTC baby #1 in the next few months. A little bit about ourselves:
We have been together about five years. We got married on 12/24/18 and we have both known we wanted children for years now. I am divorced and TTC with my ex for over a year, resulting in reoccurring miscarriages. I have PCOS and other metabolic syndromes. My husband's name is Toby and he is a trans man, so we will need to do things a little differently. Toby has two degrees and works as a supervisor in retail and I work for a major university. We have two dogs and six cats.
I think what hit us really hard is we are in California meeting our newborn niece. I was hit really hard by the fact that we don't have a child yet, but we so desperately want one. Holding that little squish makes me so happy and we can't wait until we have one of our own. 💖
I've been working on losing weight and getting more healthy. My cycles have been more regular, but longish (35-38 days, lasting 7 days). When TTC with my ex, my OPKs were fairly strong, so I hope I will continue to ovulate appropriately.
We would love to find a sperm donor in our area so we don't have to pay loads of money every month. I hope we don't need to go the IUI/IVF route as my insurance doesn't cover fertility treatments. 🙄
Hopefully we will have a rainbow squish within the year! 💖
