Passing the time while TTC

Hi ladies,

I saw somthing similar while lurking on a U.S forum not long ago - This is just a thread where people who are TTC can 1. properly Introduce themselves and give insight to them as a person if they so wish or 2. Just somewhere you can talk about either TTC or non-TTC related matters, even though everything always seems to relate some how it feels No pressure about topic or anything, just a fun forum to help pass the time while we are on our TTC journeys!

Eg.
Thread can be used to recommend movies, books, cafes, restaurants, beauty products, holiday destinations... Or just vent, ramble, get others opinions, whatever you want!!

Here's a bit of an intro template below, so feel free to copy and past if you want to introduce yourself!
The questions aren't compulsory, just leave the question out if you prefer not to answer something. And feel free to add on any fun facts or info too

A quote you live by: Just keep swimming, everything will work out one way or another. Orrrrrrrrrrrr Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none

So great getting to know more about everyone.. I mean, if we are talking about sex, cervical mucous and periods toeach other as we do, it makes sense to know the less personal things too right

Nervous, didn't know you lived in Palmy! I was born there

Jess, don't think I knew you were getting married.. Congrats!! sorry if I have already congratulated you in another thread.. There are quite a few girls with upcoming weddings! So exciting but stressful I am sure, hehe

Kali, I will have to get some advice from you on childbirth etc when I get my official BFP!

Ooh this is fun! Here's me

City: Dunedin, but have also lived in Palmerston North and overseas

Occupation: Vocational Consultant, but studying a Masters in Health Psychology and am originally a solicitor. Ultimate goal is to be doing research and implementing it in the community.
Interests: Running - have done a few half marathons and one marathon. Travelling - did my OE a couple of years ago through Europe, South America and Middle East and loved it, heading to the US later this year and eyeing up Asia for next year. And reading!
