1. What's your name and where do you live?
2. Married or Single or other?
3. How long TTC?
4. Do you have any other kids?
5. Do you want a boy or a girl?
6. How will you tell DH/SO when you get your BFP?
7. What names do you have picked out?
8. Who knows you're TTC?
9. How many children do you plan to have?
10. Where are you in your cycle? (TWW, waiting to O, ready to test?)
11. Anything else you want to share?

Engaged
3. How long TTC?
Casually, about 3 months, properly, just through my first cycle, the first one since the birth of Jacob
4. Do you have any other kids?
Jacob, age almost 11 months.... gone so fast.
One stepson age 14
5. Do you want a boy or a girl?
Twin boys (seriously!)
6. How will you tell DH/SO when you get your BFP?
Guess what!!!
7. What names do you have picked out?
So many, it was such an argument last time...Nicholas, Caleb, something biblical? Jude, for a girl Reese, Jaimee, Greer, Harmony (stealer..) and I love Ayja as well since coming on here!!!
8. Who knows you're TTC?
everyone except my boss!
9. How many children do you plan to have?
I would like 4 but am only "allowed" one more pregnancy..
10. Where are you in your cycle? (TTW, waiting to O, ready to test?)
Last day of AF
11. Anything else you want to share?
was feeling soooooo hormaonal and psychotic, sick, tired etc, thought maybe I got lucky first time out of the gates.... no such luck!
Also, I reckon I know what the meaning of life is now, Kids. I can't believe how much more I love my son each day than the last. To think, I only got pregnant with JJ cos DH wanted one. I was a "kid hater" and never wanted any...The whole time I was preg, I was worried I would love my dog more than baby....WRONG!!

First - great idea Jen!
1. What's your name and where do you live?
Simonne - Manurewa, Auckland
2. Married or Single or other?
Married - October 2001
3. How long TTC?
I'm in cycle 11!
4. Do you have any other kids?
Fur-kids - 2 dogs and a cat
5. Do you want a boy or a girl?
Either is fine with me, though the husband let slip that he wanted a son.
6. How will you tell DH/SO when you get your BFP?
I'll probably walk out with a shocked look on my face and tell him it's a positive! Or, I won't be able to speak and will just shove the pee-stick under his nose (which is what I did what I got my false positive right at the beginning!)
7. What names do you have picked out?
Isolde for a girl, which has been vetoed by all 4 grandparents. I like Seth for a boy. I'm very traditional though so it'll be Isobel, Victoria, Elizabeth ...something like that, and for a boy ...I'm not sure ...Oliver, James, Zachery - something along those lines I think.
8. Who knows you're TTC?
Our parents and siblings, some friends.
9. How many children do you plan to have?
2 or 3. We have twins on both parents sides for both of us, so if it happens to be twins first up, the husband has said that he wants 3.
10. Where are you in your cycle? (TTW, waiting to O, ready to test?)
About half way
11. Anything else you want to share?
Now is probably a good chance for me to say a real and deep thank you to everyone for the support you've given me in the months I've been coming to OHbaby. It's been really really good to be able to talk to everyone about the ups and downs and round and rounds of TTC for this long.

1. What's your name and where do you live?
Alicia and I live in Porirua, Wellington
2. Married or Single or other?
Married for three months - together for 8 years
3. How long TTC?
About three months after a scare while we were away on honeymoon. We decided that if we ended up not being pregnant we would start trying cos we realised we both really wanted to be pregnant - alas it wasn't to be that time.
4. Do you have any other kids?
Yep - one wonderful totally gorjus 9 year old boy, Christopher
5. Do you want a boy or a girl?
DH really wants a girl and that is starting to rub off on me now
6. How will you tell DH/SO when you get your BFP?
I will probably be too chicken and get him to look at the test anyway before me!! LOL
7. What names do you have picked out?
Iliana for a girl and Benjamin for a boy
8. Who knows you're TTC?
Absolutely everyone and anyone else that will listen!!(and the lady on trade me that I bought the pram off)
9. How many children do you plan to have?
I would just like one more - if the next one is a boy then DH will want to try again
10. Where are you in your cycle? (TTW, waiting to O, ready to test?)
I think I am O in the next couple of days - how exciting!!
11. Anything else you want to share?
Its my birthday today!! What a great day it has been so far. I am 27 today and have a big wad of cash to go and spend and am planning on buying some beautiful boots for winter. My sister got me a gorjus wool vest thing from Principles that I saw and said "wow that would make a great pregnancy top" so she got it for me to start my maternity wardrobe but I will just wear it now anyway... What a great day so far...

Sorry for hijacking your post when I'm Pre TTC, knowing my luck it will take ages to get pregnant when I do start trying!

sb1337 - it is a good idea, as it can take some time for things to work their way out of your system

Sarah Beth- TWW is for the dreaded Two Week Wait- the wait from when you O to when either you can test or AF arrives.
