Ready to start "Operation Baby"...again! (cross post from TTTC)

I used to post/respond often, but haven't been on for awhile because we decided to take a "treatment break." I hope you'll welcome me back! I hardly recognize any of the names, so I guess everyone on this board eventually gets their BFPs (at least that's my hope for all of you and me!)
I hope that things work out better this time around...2011 was not a fun year. In December, our second attempt to complete an IVF cycle was cancelled and converted to an IUI, and when we got the BFN, well, I felt completely broken. DH and I decided to take a break to try and enjoy life without doctors appointments and charts, find a new doctor, and try BDing on our own for a few months. Needless to say, we're more relaxed, but the BDing didn't work (but it was fun!).
After 7 months, we're ready to start fertility treatments again. We met with the new clinic yesterday and will most likely be doing IVF in October (pending some tests this clinic requires that my other didn't). However, this time we aren't telling anyone (except those of you on the Bump) because I cannot handle the questions and "poor you" faces.
me: 39 DH: 36 dx: unexplained (ugh)

Welcome back!! I like your sentiment and I hope that its true!!
I feel the same way about not telling anyone about trying - I really don't want people to know that we are having a hard time and I really don't want people's advice about what we should do next.
I hope the October IVF is successful!
