Getting Pregnant

Anyway, almost everyone in our neighborhood knows what's going on with us. They all don't know about the IVF, but most have figured out we're having trouble starting a family. I had a feeling that one of my friends, W, was either pregnant or just recently started trying. Given what's going on in her life, I figured it was time. She asked me how things were with us, and then told me that she just went of BC and that she hoped we would be pregnant together. I'm excited for her, but I'm scared, too. She has endometriosis, so I hope she doesn't have to go down this road and it happens quickly for them.

I'm good, really good
There's no real point to this post except that I can really read people. TL;DR? One of my friends is just starting to try, and I'm worried she'll have trouble, too. Another friend has been trying for 6 years, NNT for 10, so I gave her the name of my RE. I predicted both of these events. DH is awesome at telling people to shut up.
Tonight was our neighborhood Halloween party. The Sheldon/Amy costume was a hit. I would love to share pictures with you, but you'll just have to imagine the greatness. Sorry! I'm still freaked out by the FB thing from another poster.
I told DH a few months ago when some new neighbors moved in that I thought they were probably in our situation. He scoffed and told me they were just loving life and too into living it up to have kids. Well, the wife, K, asked me why I wasn't drinking tonight. It finally got around to the elephant in the room, and she said, "What's it like? I'm afraid we're going to have to do that." They've been together 10 years and have never prevented, and they've been actively trying for 6 years. I told her "Get thee to a RE!" and gave her the name of my clinic and told her to check out Resolve. She even offered to be my nurse when DH Is away during our cycle.
Overall, the only issue I had with people asking why DH and I weren't drinking was when someone we don't really care for pushed us about it. DH was good and said, "We're just not. Leave it." I love that man.

Seriously though, I'm glad your costume was a hit and that the party went well. And your DH is awesome for shutting that person up. I love when DHs save the day.

Good for you for reaching out and showing the IF support. I bet those women really appreciated it
And your H is great for shutting down the annoying pushy dude.
