If you're counting DPOs (days past ovulation) and staring at the box of pregnancy tests you have under the bathroom sink, you're probably in the middle of your TWW (two week wait!). Welcome to one of the most uncertain times in your TCC (trying to conceive) journey! In today's episode we're talking about when you should take a pregnancy test, what pregnancy symptoms are showing up when, and how to survive the dreaded two week wait! 

If you're just getting started on your TTC (trying to conceive) journey, you may be wondering what to do besides *getting busy.* Well, turns out there's a whole fun world of tracking ovulation for you to get into! In today's episode, I'm going through some of the most popular methods to track ovulation for conception, the pros and cons of tracking, and my experience with these methods. From BBT (basal body temperature) and CM (cervical mucus) to OPKs (ovulation prediction kits) and testing your saliva, let's dive into the fun, fascinating and frightening world of tracking.

Welcome to this week's episode of Any Questions? Today we're tackling the big question: How many kids do I want? We're looking at the stats of how many kids families have on average, what the data says about what the "right" number is, and seven factors to consider when deciding how many children you want to have. Plus, I share what decision my partner and I have made and why we think it's the right one for us! 

Even if you're not TTC or pregnant yet, if you think you want to become a parent in the future, it's a good idea to consider your ideal number now (knowing it may change along the way!). 

I took a pregnancy test... Listen to the episode to find out the results! Am I pregnant? How am I feeling about the result? What was the process like taking my first test on this TTC (trying to conceive) journey? Why is the TWW (two week wait) so freaking long?  

Today we're tackling the big question: How do you know when you're ready to have kids? How do you know if you even want them or will ever be ready? Before you worry about TTC (trying to conceive) or getting pregnant, you first have to decide if you even want to become a parent and when you want to start growing your family. Tune in to hear my thoughts and how my partner and I decided we were (probably) ready for kids! 

Welcome to the very first episode of Any Questions? A Podcast About Conception, Pregnancy and Realistic Motherhood. Thanks for joining me on this journey! On the first episode of the podcast, I'm sharing who I am, who I'm not and why I decided to create a podcast. I didn't see myself represented in mainstream TTC, pregnancy or parenthood media and I wanted to change that by adding my voice and sharing my journey.
