I'm still here, in and out. Just starting my fifth cycle after m/c, only ovulated on the first one, so the last three I haven't O'd at all. Just finished up a week ago with the second round of Prometrium (that stuff is AWFUL for side effects in me), hopefully I won't have to go on them this cycle! Yesterday I had a bunch of blood drawn for more fertility testing, so hopefully we'll have answers by this time next week and get some help
GTKYQ:
1. What board do you post on most? Probably TTC after loss
2. How long have you been ttc? We're hitting a year on May 1 with a miscarriage in Sept.
3. What boards do you lurk on? I still pop in on my MayDDC friends to see how they're doing and to see the new babies, and also starting to visit the PCOS board since my doctor thinks I have it.
4. Do you want a boy or girl? At this point, I just want a healthy bean!
5. Would you absolutely looooooooooove to have twins? YES! I'm actually secretly hoping for twins
6. Is dh as involved in ttc as you, or is he just ready to give his deposit when you say so! lol Oh yes, he's VERY much involved, and wants this as much as I do...although the thought of twins freaks him out a bit LOL
7. Any other tid bits you'd like to tell us. Some hidden secret youv'e been keeping to yourself? Nope, not really. If you want to know something, just ask. I promise I won't bite hard!

Well ladies my name is Holli and I will be 32 tomorrow, same day the witch is due (the 28th).... hmmmm. As for the questions, here we go:
GTKYQ:
1. What board do you post on most?
I would say this one... I get more replies and help when I need it 
2. How long have you been ttc?
I would say about a month and a half, I don't have any fertility problems, but I have two kids of my own, and have become engaged to my new wonderful boyfriend, and we decided we are ready for one of his own 
3. What boards do you lurk on?
Am I pg, trying to conceive and this one
4. Do you want a boy or girl?
well I want a boy because that way, my soon to be husband can carry on his name, but I would also looooove a little girl 
5. Would you absolutely looooooooooove to have twins?
ummm well that kinda scares me but only for financial reasons. We already will be tight with another one on the way, so twins... but if money was no object, then yes yes yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!
6. Is dh as involved in ttc as you, or is he just ready to give his deposit when you say so! lol
oh yes, he is... we both have high sex drives, so it's never a chore for him nor me
7. Any other tid bits you'd like to tell us. Some hidden secret youv'e been keeping to yourself?
I just hope to get a lot of support here, and meet friends. And also look forward to staying a member and moving from board to board as I hopefully graduate. I think this is a neat site.  And I appreciate the welcome!

My DH is a fanatical hockey nut... err... I mean Canadian too!!  (I'm American and we live in the US... taxes would eat us up in CA!) I think the understated, "listening yet not really listening thing" must be a Canadian thing..lol!! My DH does the same thing too... I just keep trying to blame it on the fact that hockey playoffs are now on!!  I've threatened to email him my chart on a daily basis!! ROFL!!

1. What board do you post on most?
TTC and AM I PG
2. How long have you been ttc?
2 months
3. What boards do you lurk on?
none really
4. Do you want a boy or girl?
either would be fine by me... a girl would be nice.... boy would be fine... either really
5. Would you absolutely looooooooooove to have twins?
just because we're getting sooo old, maybe twins would be ok... all in one shot; on the other hand... wow.. lots of work.. plus more pregnancy risks and prematurity risks, etc.
6. Is dh as involved in ttc as you, or is he just ready to give his deposit when you say so! lol
He's a turkey. He wants a baby, but since we had a really early loss last month he seems more reserved "If it happens it happens". I think he 'sorta' gets my fertility charting, but not really, and would really prefer I didn't teach him every detail! I also get a lot of "uh huh, uh huh" as if he's listening..grr! Also, we're in the TWW now, and I said something yesterday about having sore breasts and how it could be PG or just my cycle and his response was 'I really don't wanna know until you are absolutely sure'. I think I gave him twice daily updates last month!!  ROFL!! I told him I couldn't agree to tell him nothing, but that I would try to limit it a bit compared to last month!!
7. Any other tid bits you'd like to tell us. Some hidden secret youv'e been keeping to yourself?
After having smoked cigarettes for 17 years I quit cold turkey just two months ago!! Now I need a 12 step program for chocolate addicts Seriously, in spite of some weight gain, I feel sooooo much better for having quit!! The first several days were hard, but it's gotten better and better every day since. For anyone else out there who might struggle with smoking and feel afraid to quit like I did... I just want to say that it really is possible to quit and that it really really does get easier over time! (And this is coming from a pack a day smoker who had to have one the second I got out of bed and who would drive through a blizzard to get smokes rather than to be snowbound at home without a pack!)
