1. How old are you? I am 26
2. How long have you been married or with your significant other? Our first wedding anniversary is 5/18
3. How long have you been trying? TTC 14 months..I know I know but we were anxious lol
4. What are your hobbies? Yoga and walking, softball (up until now since I can't play) reading, travel and the beach
5. Where are you from? New Jersey
6. What is your favorite show on TV? Grey's, Private Practice and Notes from the Underbelly
7. Do you have a favorite book or author? Emily Giffin and John Grisham
8. What was your favorite vacation? Hawaii, we honeymooned there
9. Where are you in your ttc journey? In the first week of our first IVF cycle...have been through 3 rounds of Clomid and had to skip IUI due to DH's very low count...we are very hopeful this will work for us!!

I just wanted to say thanks for starting this thread...all along our TTC journey people would say you are young, relax, stop trying and it will happen, time is on your side and we used to get so upset....we knew things were not right and when we found out about the count and needing IVF in the same day...well...it rocked our world....and I wish I could say to all of those people that we never know what lies ahead...and while being young can be advantageous to some us...it does not guarantee that we won't have issues....if DH and I waited another year or two to start trying IVF might not have even been an option as his count is getting lower and lower all the time and his y chromosome defect will leave him sterile one day...we are fortunate to have found this out now...and I am sad to say that time was not on our side...until now with the IVF....my advise is that we all need to stay strong and focused and no matter where you are in your TTC journey remember that in the end we will all...one way or another....have the babies that we dream of!!!!

1. I am 23.
2. We have been married since January 7, 2006.
3. We have been trying since May 2007.
4. My hobbies are: skating, crocheting, traveling
5. I'm from good 'ol South Carolina.
6. My favorite tv show is Grey's Anatomy.
7. My favorite books are mostly poetry books. My all time fave is "Love Poems" by Nikki Giovanni.
8. My favorite vacation was to Ocho Rios Jamaica. I will never forget that trip!
9. Currently in our TTC journey, we are on a short break. We will hopefully return in July.

I would also like to agree with some previous posts of thanking you for this thread. I know I'm not alone when I say I'm so tired of people telling me that it's too early to have kids anyway. Or to just relax, it'll happen, time is on your side. It's easier for them to say that, especially when they are on their way out the door to go pick up the kids from soccer practice, lol.

3. How long have you been trying? 1 year

5. Where are you from? Kansas City, MO
6. What is your favorite show on TV? Nip Tuck, Family Guy (total opposites I know)
7. Do you have a favorite book or author? Mary Higgins Clark is my favorite
8. What was your favorite vacation? Together, Texas so far, but I'm sure our upcoming honeymoon will top that!!
9. Where are you in your ttc journey? Still trying to conceive basically natural, I am on Metformin, currently in the 2WW....


I have not only had ppl tell me how young we are and how much time we have... but that we shouldn't be trying before we get married. Well, from the beginning of our relationship we knew we were right together and both of our dreams was to have children. I already knew I had fertility problems so we started trying early. We want children together... no matter if it was before our wedding or after. We are going to be trying more aggressively after we get back from the honeymoon! Unless we happen to be blessed by God with a before then.
