I live in Bossier and work in Shreveport! And I'm almost positive I work with your DH at CNP (different floor/dept). How crazy is that?!
I see from your answers that you started out with Dr. London and are now with Dr. V. Same here. London did my consult then retired shortly thereafter. How do you like Dr. V?

8) Attempted IVF? Nope.
9) Other than BFP, which I hope for everyone!, what are you most looking forward to changing in 2012? I'm facing a potential 3-month layoff in March so I'm hoping that doesn't happen and I can continue working (currently working on a grant and if the state can't pick up my salary, I'm laid off until FY13 begins on July 1). Also hoping that my attitude turns around. I've been pretty depressed and resentful towards everyone who is pregnant, having babies, not having problems. My younger sister got married six months before I did and they are thinking about starting to try pretty soon (unless they already have) and I felt very overshadowed by her being engaged first and I don't want to feel that way about pregnancies either. She's never had any problems with regularity so I'm sure it won't take them long. Last, I want to focus on my health more and stick with the changes I want to make (long enough for ya?!
)
