READ ME FIRST! Weekly Intro + Rules Thread December 31, 2017

Hi everyone!

  • I’m from Seattle- are there any other Seattleites here??
  • I work in the financial services industry
  • Dream job is working and living internationally! Preferably in Europe, like the UK, Germany, or France
  • I met my partner in high school- were semi- high school sweethearts
  • Well, Husband always said he wanted to have his first kid before 30, and I’m 4 years younger than him so that means we get started ASAP! We’re at the age where we have enough stability to start having kids too.
  • Brief summary of TTC situation: I was diagnosed at 23 with Rheumatoid Arthritis. The biggest hurdle we have is adjusting the medications that I’m on because while they make it so I can lead a pain-free life, one is dangerous for pregnancy (Methotrexate). I have been tapering off of MTX for about 4 months now and this is the last cycle that I’ll be on it. I now have to wait 3 cycles before we can safely start TTC. So I’m in this weird limbo, and I’m using this time to chart and temp and pee on stuff, and learn my body’s patterns so that when the time comes we can hopefully get that BFP.

Thank you all for being so welcoming and supportive!
