8) What kinds of things do your DH and you like to do together?
Shop, go to dinner, shows, movies.
1) How long have you been posting on the TTTC board? Well, I started posting on this board in mid-2007 but then had thyroid issues discovered in January 2008, and surgery to remove fibroids in April 2008 - so essentially I took about 10 months off from posting, and TTTC, but now I'm back.
2) If you have started seeing an RE, what prompted you to go? Went for my annual GYN exam - the year after we started TTC, I started talking to the NP about our difficulty, and she said it's probably time to go see an RE and there's a young woman at the front desk who just started going to see this amazing practice, you should talk to her. So I did, and so it goes.
3) Where are you from, and have you ever met up with girls from the board that live in your area? I'm just outside of Philadelphia on the Main Line, I haven't met anyone from this board that I know of, but it's quite possible at least one person been in the doctor's office when I have.
4) Do you share your IF struggles with friends and family or keep it to yourselves? For the first year we battled IF, before I had surgery in April 2008, I told everyone. I'm a little quieter now, I don't talk about it often except to my closest friends.
5) What's the craziest TTC advice you have been given? "drink the water, you're sure to get pregnant"
6) What type of music do you listen to? Anything and everything, but my best friend tells me I'm stuck in the 80s and early 90s - which I sort of am - alternative music such as The Fixx, The Clash, The Cure, Depeche Mode, INXS, etc. But I also like jazz, blues, doo wop, rap, hip hop, anything that has a good beat basically.
7) What are your favorite tv shows? Lost, The West Wing (on DVD of course), Brothers & Sisters (but that one is starting to piss me off now too).
8) What kinds of things do your DH and you like to do together? Travel, play with the dog, spend time with friends and family, cook.

1) How long have you been posting on the TTTC board?
I began posting on here sometime in 2007 after DH and I hit the one year mark of TTC. I took a bit of a break because I felt overwhelmed with information, and I ventured back toward the end of 2008.
2) If you have started seeing an RE, what prompted you to go?
I actually haven't seen an RE because I was told we really didn't need one, and I thought the consultation cost was outrageous. The more information I get, the more I realize that it's time to go. I'll probably have my first visit in late May or early June.
3) Where are you from, and have you ever met up with girls from the board that live in your area?
I'm from Michigan, but I will be moving to Washington soon. I have met up from one girl on here, and I would love to meet up with others. It's nice to know people in real life that share your same struggle.
4) Do you share your IF struggles with friends and family or keep it to yourselves?
I am pretty open when it comes to my struggles. It helps me to talk about it.
5) What's the craziest TTC advice you have been given?
I don't think I've been given any CRAZY advice necessarily, but I do all those funny things like propping my legs straight up in the air after sex so that the sperm can't escape-LOL!
...and a few off topics for good measure...
6) What type of music do you listen to?
I love pop music, and I am a HUGE Backstreet Boys fan (if you couldn't tell by my siggy challenge). I also enjoy many Christian artists.
7) What are your favorite tv shows?
My absolute favorite is Lost, but I also enjoy American Idol, The Hills, and The Office.
8) What kinds of things do your DH and you like to do together?
DH has taught me a real appreciation for the outdoors. We like to go hiking and camping and canoeing together. We have a black lab that we take on all of our adventures, and it's a blast. We are our own little family and can't wait to take our baby on hiking and camping trips. We also like listening to live music and watching movies together.

Yeah, it was funny - my MIL was quiet at first, but the more we talk about it, the more I get funny little comments - so watch out! lol I hope to see you on here when I'm here!
Hi Jen, how are you doing? I figure I might as well nest today before I leave for my HSG, I can't concentrate on work.
No trips planned at the moment, but we were in Disney in January, Jacksonville in February, and Richmond, VA in March all for soccer tournaments, but Disney we stayed longer just the two of us to celebrate our 5th anniversary and to do the parks, it was a blast! DH is a full time soccer coach - we don't have kids, but we do joke that we have twelve 10-year old boys, and sixteen 14-year old boys, and they usually treat me like the den Mother on these trips, it's cute.
I was never a fan of Duran Duran when they first came out and were really, really popular, I got into their music more when their CD "Big Thing" came out, I love that CD but now I still admit to liking all their old music too.
How about you, any trips planned?

Oh well my mom has had some doozy comments including "Are you sure you want to do this?"- regarding treatment and "I was always healthy when I was pregnant with you so I dont know why you are this way. Maybe try yoga." and DH's Aunt(who has no idea we are even trying) told me that when I want to conceive I should drink cream straight.
