Creating Infertility Check-in?

I'm thinking about starting a check-in for those women who are dealing with infertility issues. I know there aren't a ton of us, but I feel like I've seen a few names pop up here and there. We could do an update of where we're at in the process, bounce ideas off of each other, ask questions, vent, etc. I'm thinking we would only do the check-in once or twice a month, because let's face it, there's a lot of waiting around when you're dealing with infertility. Is anyone interested in joining? Your thoughts on the process or how many check-ins should happen every month? (Also, if you think it's a lousy idea, I'm fine with constructive criticism as well! I haven't been able to decide if this is a good idea or not and/or if there's enough people to make this worthwhile. But I thought I would at least put it out there for feedback.)

I'd love that. I often feel displaced on this board, and it would be great to have an avenue to feel more connected. Great idea!!
I agree, once a month for check ins would be good. But I also think we can be more vocal on here as a group. There's no reason why we can't have T-TTC threads here too.
Same here - I didn't want to post until after my BFP, and frankly, I felt as if I wasn't to the point of the TTC battle to really post much on the TTC board.
I'm interested! I used to go on T-TTC back when we were TTC'ing for DS but it got so overwhelming. I'd love to have discussions with ladies on here whom I "know" and won't judge or flame.
I'd be interested, too, K! I think once/mo sounds good since there really is a lot of waiting. The one issue may be that people doing IUI or IVF may not get the full benefit. We could post at the start of the cycle and be done, or nearly done, by the next check-in, without getting to post about it in between.
That's not necessarily a good reason to bump it up to 2x/mo, though. I'd join in either way. I think some IF threads, now and then, would be great, too. There are a number of us dealing with this and feeling a little out of place when posting about TTC here.

Weird, you read my mind about IF check-in. I was thinking about it yesterday but I wanted to really think about what I was going to post. Glad you did it.
