I have been married since December 2004. I had my IUD removed in April, but we continued using other forms of contraception until we decided we were ready to start trying. All of my preparation and studying beforehand helped make the conception process an easy and quick one— I got pregnant on my second try. I am a journalist and I enjoy reading, writing, and trying to plan my life. I also speak my mind at BabyMakinMachine.com.
