How many kids does he want?He used to say 2, then it went to 3, so I don't really know!
What's his favorite part of TTC: All the BDing
What's his least favorite part of TTC: The disappointment went I tell him AF showed
Does he know about JM? Yes
What does he think of you being on JM? He's grateful that I talk to you guys about all the gross stuff and that I don't bog him down with my crazy questions. He always says "Until I have a uterus or other girl parts, I can't answer that"
How long did he think it would take to conceive the child you're working on now? I think he figured maybe 6 or so months... never this long!
How do you think he'll react when you tell him you got your BFP? He'll probably be shocked and maybe even tear up a little bit.

Does he know the TTC "lingo" (BFP, AF etc)? He knows some- in fact he's the one that told me about AF! LOL
How does he handle the stress of TTC? He keeps a lot of it to himself, but once in a while, he lets it out and just needs to talk about it.

What quality of your DH do you most wish your child gets? His humor... oh and his dimples. I love his dimples!

How long did he think it would take to conceive the child you're working on now? 3-4 months

Is he hoping for a boy or a girl? He said "Yes", he doesn't really care. I know he wants a little girl though.

How many kids does he want? 2 of our own and maybe adopt a third child that is a little older
What's his favorite part of TTC: at this point I'm not sure there is any, except that maybe just maybe one day it will end with us getting to be parents.
What's his least favorite part of TTC: the BDing on command
Does he know about JM? Yes
What does he think of you being on JM? at first he thought I was obsessed and now he's just glad that i've had that extra support.
How long did he think it would take to conceive the child you're working on now? he thought it might take 6 months to a year.
How do you think he'll react when you tell him you got your BFP? I think he will be reluctant because of the previous two miscarriages
Is he hoping for a boy or a girl? He says a boy but he loves little daddy's girls
Does he know the TTC "lingo" (BFP, AF etc)? YES!!! LOL
How does he handle the stress of TTC? He goes for a run or to the gym when things get really stressful. When we had this last miscarriage he decided that he had lost control of everything and then he decided that he wanted to compete in a U.F.C. competition. NOT a good decision if you ask me.
How does he help you feel better when you're down about TTC? He tries to remind me that one day this will happen for us. That we have to believe that God has a plan for our lives.
What quality of your DH do you most wish your child gets? Physically I wish that our children will be a natural athlete like DH, emotionally I hope they get his patience because I have NONE!!

How many kids does he want? We mutually decided on 4 or 5 children, but recently we have decided we would even be happy with 2 or 3.
What's his favorite part of TTC: I am just going to take a wild guess and say DTD...haha He also likes it see how happy I get when talking about our future children.
What's his least favorite part of TTC: The Stress and disappointment after a BFN...
Does he know about JM? Oh yes...he says its my second job! haha He is glad that I have a support system though. And he has even gotten to know some of you a little bit through things I have said to him!
What does he think of you being on JM? As long as it doesnt interfere with our normal every day lives he thinks its great! He knows I need support from others that are struggling too..
How long did he think it would take to conceive the child you're working on now? He knew that it wouldnt happen right away, but he always figured within a year...not over two years...
How do you think he'll react when you tell him you got your BFP? He is going to cry I just know it. We have both been through so much with TTC that is going to be a very emotional moment for us.
Is he hoping for a boy or a girl? BOYS...he has only sisters so I know he would like a boy to teach things to and spend time with.
Does he know the TTC "lingo" (BFP, AF etc)? Yep...haha Only because of this site though! haha
How does he handle the stress of TTC? He is way better at it than I am. He tends to stay calm and positive 99% of the time.
How does he help you feel better when you're down about TTC? He reminds me that we are young and there is alot of time for us to have this child. He reminds me of my parents struggles and that I have 2 sisters now after all the struggles. He reminds me that he loves me. He is just AMAZING! Oh and then he buys ice cream or takes me to dinner too!
What quality of your DH do you most wish your child gets? His calm and positive attitude and his patience!

We do GTKY about us, but lets do a little GTKY about the men in our lives... 
All about your DH/SO...
How many kids does he want? Two
What's his favorite part of TTC: I am not sure he really likes anything about TTC, I don't either.
What's his least favorite part of TTC: all of the stress involved and that sex becomes a chore
Does he know about JM? yes
What does he think of you being on JM? he is glad that I have contacts like you wonderful ladies to help keep me grounded.
How long did he think it would take to conceive the child you're working on now? a year or less
How do you think he'll react when you tell him you got your BFP? He will be really excited. He might even cry, especially because we have been trying so long.
Is he hoping for a boy or a girl? He's always said that he would like a boy first, but now I think he'd be happy with either.
Does he know the TTC "lingo" (BFP, AF etc)? ummm, maybe, maybe not. I think he knows a few things, but not all of it.

How does he help you feel better when you're down about TTC? Yes, always.
What quality of your DH do you most wish your child gets? Well, physically, he has fantastic hair, and he is naturally thin, so I hope they get those attributes. Also, he's athletic. Personality wise, he is very laid back and caring. Those are all things I hope our kiddos get from daddy!

Please don't think less of me when you see how many questions I have to answer with IDK! We've only been together for 15 years, some of this hasn't come up yet!
How many kids does he want? IDK - 1 or 2
What's his favorite part of TTC: I'm sure it's all the BD'ing.
What's his least favorite part of TTC: I don't think he likes it that I have banned anything "oral" during O time.
Does he know about JM? Yes
What does he think of you being on JM? He likes that I have someone to talk to, but sometimes I think he gets jealous of the time I spend with you all!
How long did he think it would take to conceive the child you're working on now?IDK
How do you think he'll react when you tell him you got your BFP?IDK. Last time I told him he paused, shrugged his shoulders and said "OK" (remember we hadn't been actively TTC then)
Is he hoping for a boy or a girl? Boy
Does he know the TTC "lingo" (BFP, AF etc)? Some. He doesn't like it when I refer to him as "DH" IRL
How does he handle the stress of TTC? I don't think that he's feeling the stress at all.
How does he help you feel better when you're down about TTC? Nothing special
What quality of your DH do you most wish your child get? He's really laid back, I'm not. I hope our kids are a good blend of the 2.

How many kids does he want? 2 but we'll both be happy with 1.

What's his least favorite part of TTC: LOL, I like Kim's answer and agree. Either banning anything oral and also having it become too routine at times.
Does he know about JM? Yes
What does he think of you being on JM? He's so glad I've made such great friends whom I have a ton in common with on an internet board of all places!

How many kids does he want? He started at 2 but now we are up to 3... of course just one would be fantastic!
What's his favorite part of TTC: I think like most men... the sex!
What's his least favorite part of TTC: He always tells me he hates it when it doesn't work because I get so upset and down on myself. I think he also would like to have the spontaneity in our sex-life back.
Does he know about JM? Yeppers
What does he think of you being on JM? I have never really asked. I think he probably appreciates the fact I have somewhere, other than his ear, to go vent/cry/celebrate/ask questions/stress.... etc.
How long did he think it would take to conceive the child you're working on now? I told him before we got married that with my PCOS it might be difficult to get PG but I don't think he truly understood.... heck I didn't truly understand how long of a road we would have. He probably assumed it would work on our own in a few months, with MA the first time.
How do you think he'll react when you tell him you got your BFP? I think he will get a big goofy grin on his face and then we will probably cry together.
Is he hoping for a boy or a girl? Probably boy but I really want a girl... or one of each!
Does he know the TTC "lingo" (BFP, AF etc)? Probably but not too much of it.
How does he handle the stress of TTC? He does really well with me and my stress, he kind of internalizes everything else. I confronted him on this not too long ago. I was sad over AF showing and he seemed fine so I asked him why he is never upset about all this... his response was that he didn't want to make it worse for me, so he was staying strong for the both of us.
How does he help you feel better when you're down about TTC? He just holds me, kisses me and tells me how sorry he is that this is happening. He's always reminding me that we'll get through this.
What quality of your DH do you most wish your child gets? His height, his smarts, he's really good with money, very responsible and reasonable, how caring he is... the list goes on.
