AboutTHIS IS A "BY INVITATION ONLY" COMMUNITY. IN ORDER TO JOIN THIS COMMUNITY, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS AND FULFILL THE REQUIREMENTS BELOW. DO NOT CONTACT THE MODS THROUGH THEIR PERSONAL JOURNALS OR LJ'S MESSAGE FEATURE. THE REQUEST WILL BE IGNORED AND MEMBERSHIP DENIED.
INTRODUCTION :
This community is for people with fertility issues, who have ACTIVELY been trying to conceive for over 12 months. This means difficulty with getting pregnant or staying pregnant, with a diagnosis such as PCOS, Luteal Phase Defect, Recurrent Miscarriages, Endometriosis, Male Factor Infertility, Thyroid Disorders, or many others.
This community is NOT for people who are just starting out on their TTC journey or for those who are "not preventing" pregnancy, even if you have known fertility issues. For those starting out on the TTC journey, our sister community,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
making_babies, is probably better suited to your needs.
REQUIREMENTS:
This is a "by invitation only" community. In order to become a member, please email the following survey to BOTH MODERATORS Nisha,![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
littlebuhnee at (littlebuhnee @ livejournal.com), and Andrea, adgam_ga at (fert.issues_comod4 @ yahoo.com). Email your survey ONLY. Do not contact either mod through their personal journals or LJ's message feature.
SURVEY:
01) What is your LiveJournal user ID and first name?

03) What is your relationship status (Married/Engaged/Sig. Other/Partnered)? Do you have any other children?
04) How long have you been actively TTC (trying to conceive) or stay pregnant (must be 12 months or longer)?
05) What is your and/or your partner's fertility issue?
06) Do you chart your fertility signs? If 'yes' would you like to provide a link to your chart?
07) What are you hoping to get out of and/or bring to this community?
08) Do you have anything to add (tell us a little about yourself)?
YOU MUST SEND THIS SURVEY TO BOTH MODERATORS TO BE GRANTED ACCESS. AFTER WE RECEIVE YOUR EMAILED SURVEY, YOU WILL BE ISSUED AN "INVITATION" TO JOIN THE COMMUNITY. ONLY AFTER YOU ACCEPT THE INVITATION, WILL YOU THEN HAVE FULL ACCESS TO THE COMMUNITY WITH POSTING PRIVILEGES.
Andrea will determine membership status and will send notification of invitation into the community. After each member accepts the invitation, Nisha will use the survey answers to form a short "bio" and add it to the community info post linked below.

CURRENT MEMBERS, PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
It should go without saying, but please be sensitive to and supportive of your fellow members. If posting topics of a sensitive nature, please use an lj-cut (how to do an LJ cut.) If you forget to cut and/or one of the mods deems that your post contains sensitive or inappropriate subject matter, we will ask you to cut the post. Please do so as soon as possible; posts remaining uncut, after 24 hrs of requesting it, will be deleted. Examples of posts needing a cut:
"Drama Mongers" and "Flame Throwers" Beware: You will not be tolerated in this community. If we find any insensitivity, lack of supportiveness, flaming, bashing, repeated ignoring of the lj-cut rule, and/or any drama in general going on in here, the posts or comments will be removed without warning and the offending member may be banned. Overall, please feel free to email one or all of the moderators should you have a problem with another member or any issue related to the community. We'll try to work things out in a rational manner. Please don't feel you should (or have to) leave the community over any issue. Contact a mod first!
In consideration of your fellow members' friends pages, please put extremely long posts and/or large pictures, and posts that are "off-topic" behind an lj cut.
If you become pregnant, please let us know (in an lj-cut community post or private email to the mods). Also, if you know it, please give us your estimated due date. You may remain a member for as long as you wish -- if you do decide to leave, however, please let us know beforehand. Please also feel free to join our "sister" community for graduated members called finally_fertile. For the sensitivity of others, please restrict posts about your pregnancy to either finally_fertile or other pregnancy communities.
**(Two communities we recommend areinf_mama, which is a community for women who are mothers after struggling with primary infertility, assisted reproduction and/or the loss of a pregnancy or child and preg_after_inf, which was specifically created as a place for those of us who are pregnant after dealing with infertility to talk about being pregnant and all the issues therein.)
If you decide to leave this community for ANY reason or you are going to delete your lj account, please let one of the mods know beforehand. We'll be sorry to see you go, of course; and, we'll certainly wish you well... but please, notify one of us by community post or private email so that we may take your bio off the Community Info Page.
