Good luck **Elza B**!

I am currently ttc my second. This is month three of my attempt to be non-chalant about the process. Unfortunately I made the mistake of telling my mother about two months ago. I am now getting an every other day phone call from her demanding all the latest details.

Let us know what happens and when. In the meantime I suggest you tell as few people as possible IRL about your reproductive plans.

Or not. I’ve been dx’ed with endo since I was 14. So bad that pre-Tinkleberry I could not poop during the 1st 2 days of my period because of the excess tissue around my colon and all the swelling. Anyway, the point is, I done got knocked up having intercourse exactly 2 times in 30 days, around 10 days apart. So maybe you’ll get lucky. Our secret to conception success was Jaegermeister. I suggest a hearty dose.
