Let's get to know each other!

[Tattoo]

My apologies if there's already been a thread like this; I had a quick scan through the six pages of this forum, and couldn't find one. I think it'd be a good idea if we all answered some questions about ourselves and our situations, and got to know each other a bit better.

What's your name? (What should we call you? Doesn't have to be your real name!)
Age?
Relationship Status?
Location?
Occupation?
How long have you been trying for?
What are you using? (OPKs, BBT, Clomid etc)
How old is your partner?
How long have you been together?

Please feel free to add any other questions you'd like!


Here are my answers:
What's your name? (What should we call you? Doesn't have to be your real name!) I'm Amy
Age? 26
Relationship Status? Married
Location? I live in Birmingham, in England
Occupation? Primary school teacher, and freelance tutor
How long have you been trying for? Eight months now
What are you using? (OPKs, BBT, Clomid etc) Currently nothing. I tried BBT, but I don't sleep soundly enough to get an accurate reading. I've also tried OPKs, but never got a single surge result. It was too depressing, so I gave up! So now I'm just taking my folic acid, and sometimes having grapefruit juice.
How old is your partner? He is also 26
How long have you been together? We've been together since 2002, so it'll be nine years this October. We've been married since August 2009.

How long have you been together? since 1999. Married in 2007

Hubby hasn't ever felt ready to start a family until recently, when he realised that we aren't getting any younger.

I have a huge fear that I won't be able to have children as I was beaten up quite badly about 15 years ago and was kicked in the stomach a lot and I also have PCOS, so I'm now charting a lot to see if my body appears to be working properly. This will be the first cycle in as much detail, so only time will tell.

Keeping everything crossed (except the obvious)

Good Luck and to everyone.
