Since I'm new on the TTTC board, I wanted to get to know everyone else who is here.
Where are you at TTC?
What is your favorite thing?
What is your pet peeve?
If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be?

Where are you at TTC?TTC since 2014, with a 1 year break in the middle. Had a CP my first cycle TTC. We are 1.5 weeks out from 2nd visit with RE, to go over test results and hopefully get a treatment plan. I had my HSG and everything was clear. DH had his semen analysis, but we don't know the result of that yet. My bloodwork came back all normal from the first day at the RE and he did a vag cam ultrasound then as well and said my right ovary looked good, but he had trouble getting a clear picture of my left ovary.
What is your favorite thing? Reading. Sitting on my patio with a cocktail and my iPad. What is your pet peeve? People who chew loudly.
If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be? Besides retired?  Maybe something that had concrete starts and finishes. I like being able to see a finished project without waiting months for it.

Welcome fatpony ! I hope the visit with your RE goes well! My advice, find an RE you really like before doing any treatment. I have done 3 IUI's 1 IVF that was cancelled due to no response to meds 1 IVF where we retrieved 2 mature eggs, both fertilized, one stopped growing at 2 days, we transferred the other at 2 days and resulted in a negative. I was diagnosed with Diminished ovarian reserve and possible poor egg quality. We decided to go with a donor. Did a DE IVF in march. Fresh transfer resulted in a chemical pregnancy. We are getting ready to do a FET of two embryos this cycle. I just started meds Friday. Transfer will probably be around the 20th. My favorite thing is my dogs. Right now I enjoy taking my little one out paddle boarding with me. My pet peeve is rude/selfish people. Basic respect for each other is pretty important to me. A good person. I strive to be a good person. I want people to remember me for my kindness when I'm gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Where are you at TTC? Just officially hit the 1 year mark. Saw an RE earlier because after a year off the pill my LP still was hanging around 8-10 days. Got diagnosed with DOR and MFI (1% morph) at the beginning of March, told our odds of TI or IUI were close to nothing; currently in the middle of IVF.
What is your favorite thing? Cat cuddles while watching Star Trek or Doctor Who
What is your pet peeve? Knuckle cracking, among others.
If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be? I've always wanted to basically be Leonardo da Vinci. Have a wealthy patron who lets me study, dabble, do art.

What a great idea, fatpony! Where are you at TTC?We've been trying for many years now. We've been with an RE for 3. We're about to start stimming for the 9th time, which will hopefully be our 5th retrieval but we're banking embryos (so no transfer yet). What is your favorite thing?Apple TV. Spotify. What is your pet peeve?People who talk on their cell phones while driving. If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be?I would have been an MD. |

Where are you at TTC?
A little over 3 years in. We've done 4 rounds of Clomid/TI, 3 IUIs with letrozole, 2 rounds of IVF/ICSI, and 1 FET. Currently on the waitlist for IVF/ICSI 3.0.
What is your favorite thing?
Hmm, hard to pick one. I really enjoy playing piano, going for drives with H and the pup, rainy days, and campfires with friends on a summer evening.
What is your pet peeve?
So many... but one of my bigger ones is when people only ever talk about themselves and/or interrupt another person's story to one-up it.
If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be?
A rich and beautiful trophy wife.

Where are you at TTC? Just shy of 3 years of TTC. Had preliminary test and diagnostic lap prior to 1 year due to multiple issues. Then we relocated and put everything on hold until last month.
What is your favorite thing? My cat. The color blue. Union Square Park in Manhattan, NY. Pizza.
What is your pet peeve? People hiccuping.
If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be? Librarian or color booking tester.
ETA: Or coloring book tester. Lol.

Where are you at TTC? I guess a little over 2.5 years (I had to count!). We would need to do DE (if even that!) if we even had a shot at getting pregnant. We closed that door in early 2016 and moved on to getting licensed for foster care
What is your favorite thing? reading
What is your pet peeve? lying
If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be? a librarian

Spending time with my pigbabies. <3
What is your pet peeve?
People who can't drive especially on the interstate.
If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be?

Where are you at TTC?We started TTC in December 2014. I had a lap for endo in Nov. 2015, started seeing an RE in Dec. 2015, and started on medicated TI cycles (mostly Femara) in May 2016. Fingers crossed, we'll be moving on to IVF in August (starting BCPs in July). What is your favorite thing?This is tricky! DH is my favorite thing (d'awwwww) but on a less cheesy note, I love ice cream and pretty dresses. What is your pet peeve?I have so many. Most are related to driving and cell phone etiquette. I also hate when people talk during movies (DH still gives me a hard time about how I shushed him during our first movie date). If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be?
When I was in high school I wanted to have my current job when I grew up. so I guess I'm pretty much what I wanted to be  In an alternate world, I think it would be really fun to be a famous actress (so many pretty dresses!)

Where are you at TTC?
We've been TTC for 18 months, but I think this is cycle 14 (I'd have to go back and count though). Together, our diagnoses are PCOS, varicocele, abnormal semen viscosity (thicker semen than normal), and borderline morphology. Also, I apparently really suck at responding to Femara.
What is your favorite thing?
My favorite thing varies depending on the day, but I love hanging out with my H. I love being outside. I love riding horses. I love watching TV/movies.
What is your pet peeve?
People who chew with their mouth open. It makes me stabby.
If you could grow up to be any one thing, what would it be?
I wanted to be a horse jockey when I was little. That would still be amazeballs!
