If you can't do that now, maybe Mr. Bee could do it for you?

@bhbee:I am so, so sorry. ((HUGS))
@MrsMccarthy: So glad you're feeling better!
I'm super new, but I agree with the general feeling that the POAS thread should be open and welcoming to all. I completely understand that those who have been on this roller coaster for longer could also use a safe space with folks who really get it, and that's great! But as a newbie, I have to say that I really love the diversity of perspectives and voices here!
-
@theotherstark: that's how it used to be.
I think if we can change the title of the "less than 6 months" thread, that would be great. In my opinion, it's great to have a POAS thread for anyone who wants to join, and a 6+ month thread for those that need that type of specialized support.
-
@LindsayInNY: I love how elequently you said this! There are my thoughts exactly. Except for the negativity part, you inspire me with how positive you have remained about everything!
I
️ the idea of a general and a 6 month + thread- I'd hate to lose the connections I've made with "newbie" TTCers, but also be able to let out the stress with the 6 + monthers.
-
I'm a rollover. AF is here.
-
@Adira: Boo. I am so sorry. I have a feeling I might be right behind you. TTC is exhausting sometimes. -_-
-
@Adira: Sorry.
-
@Adira: boo! I'm sorry friend.
-
@Adira: boo to AF
I'll still be checking in on the general POAS board to cheer on you ladies!
-
@Keppa: I'm so sorry you feel numb. My son is gonna be 17 months on the 7th! Crazy!
@Ms.Pumpkin: thank you honey .
@Adira: sorry doll. I'm super excited to have another chance to be month twins with you though!
-
Sorry, @adira:-(. Hoping Feb is the month for all of us.
-
Are we making a general thread?
-
I agree that we should have a general thread and those who want to post additionally in the 6 month + thread can do so. I don't think @Lady Hibiscus: meant any harm by it, but we should have a thread that is inclusive of everyone and just goes by the month. I don't like feeling separated. I will start the new thread.
-
@Adira: I'm sorry :(.
-
@Adira: Boo! Sorry to hear that! Hope Feb is the month for you!
-
@HolisticMama: @PawPrints: @Crystal: @sandy: @MrsMccarthy: @ChiCalGoBee: @littlek: @Ms.Pumpkin: Thanks ladies!!! I had a feeling this wouldn't be out month, especially given how little we actually had sex! But I'm bummed at AF's early arrival... LP was only 7 days.
I'm guessing because of breastfeeding?? Hopefully next month is better!@MrsMccarthy: Woohoo! Let's be month twins with NORMAL LPs in February!
-
I just wanted to check in with everyone, I have been trying to read along even if I haven't had a chance to comment.
@bhbee: I am so sorry things aren't looking positive at the moment. I really hope that you get a sticky baby soon.
@Adira: I am sorry you are a rollover, it sort of sounds like this was the month of crazy cycles.In the spirit of test early and often I have tested both yesterday and today, I got an evap on a wondfo after the ten minute mark and this morning nothing-- I can see where the line should be if I squint, hold it up to the light and possibly use my imagination... But I literally don't even know if I ovulated, let alone when-- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/47c932
I finally gave up charting for this month, after that gap in the beginning where my thermometer broke and then the unclearness since I figured it was pointless. I will update again whenever things look clearer.It looks like the thread situation has been figured out but I thought I would toss one more perspective into the ring-- this thread moves so fast and it is hard to get to know everyone and for me it is hard to be supportive as I would like to be so I keep having to just let it go. Perhaps having smaller groups with the option to check in with everyone would help the group to become more cohesive, people could get to know one another better and it would be easier to keep up. I am a total introvert people pleaser though so I know not everyone else will share this view, I just personally get overwhelmed because there are so many people and I don't want to leave anyone out but I simply can't keep up and remember who everyone is. I am appreciative that everyone is so polite and kind about this even when it is clear the split is bothering some people.
-
@Cole: I'm the same way as you. While I like being inclusive, this thread tends to move WAY too fast for me, and I tend to just keep up with certain people and I miss a lot of other updates. The smaller threads might make it easier to really get to know people who are in a similar situation (just starting to try vs been trying for a while). Though I'm going to TRY to keep up with both!
As far as your chart, I have nooooo idea what's going on! Based on your OPK and temps, is it possible you ovulated as early as CD 9 or 10???? Though that seems really early, so I'm not sure!!!
-
@Cole: I'm bad at charts, but if you got a positive OPK at CD9, my guess is you ovulated somewhere around CD9 - 12.
-
@Mrs.Panda: I don't think it was her fault at all. There was another one already made, so she made it it for under 6. don't think another thread needs to be made. Just rename the old one.
-
@bhbee: So sorry, lady. Huge hugs to you!
-
@tequiero21: I completely agree, I don't think it was anyone's fault. I kind of like @Cole:'s idea to keep all three threads so that people can stay in the 6+ or the < 6 month threads and check in on the thread that I made as a whole. That way everyone can be happy!
-
Hey ladies:
I think this is great--- I misunderstood the two separate boards.. I thought one was for 6 months + and by default the new one should be less than 6months . I agree with y'all-- id like for it to be general poas as well. I'll change it if everyone agrees.
@bhebee-- I am so sorry-- hang in there. Xoxo
-
@Lady Hibiscus: Sounds good! Just changing the thread name would be fine, I think
If you can't do that now, maybe Mr. Bee could do it for you?
-
@Lady Hibiscus: Can you still change the name? That would make everything SO much easier! I just walled you but disregard that completely if you can change the name of it! I was under the impression that it was set in stone, a la WeddingBee.
-
So it seems that I can edit posts for today- but not for yesterday. Anyone know how to do this? If not, I'll try to do more research.
-
@Lady Hibiscus: You may be able to just go under support and ask Mr. Bee to change the name of the thread. I don't know if he will let you change the content of the original post, but maybe the name?
-
@Lady Hibiscus: ask @mr bee for help. He can fix things like that!
-
Okay, just to clarify: I am going to close the other thread I made and redirect to the hopefully new general POAS thread.
-
So it looks like third time was the charm! We are a bit early -- 11 days post IUI -- but there's definitely a second pink line!
-
Honestly, the reason I started a second board for 6+ month POAS is because a lot of posters did not feel comfortable posting in the regular POAS thread. The general POAS thread is very fast moving and its hard to get to know everyone. I think the board has also gotten very big the past few months. The point was not to exclude anyone it was just to make people who have been trying for a little longer feel more comfortable, it can be disheartening to see people pop in and out of the POAS threads while it may be taking you awhile. Not that we are not thrilled with everyone who gets a BFP. Also, after being on about 6 or 7 POAS threads, you may not want to talk about some of the issues a newbie TTC likes to for example SMEP, preseed, etc.. I hope no one is offended, that was not the point of this at all. Hugs to everyone!

I dont know, I just feeel that Im not struggling as much since,Ive only been trying for 4 months, but in 2 more months I will all the sudden be in a legit struggle to get a baby. Personally, it comes off that people don't want to be bothered with" newvies" and believe it or not that hurts feelings too although I'm sure,that's not the intent. There's a lot of ways I don't relate to someone as,in I'm not 30 plus, or I'm in an interracial relationship and the ups and downs of knowing we are trying for a mixed child and the idiotic comments that go with that, or so on so on. But, I understand fast movimg boards are overwhelming. I hope everyone,finds the support they're looking for. Im personally going to take a break from the poas boards. Good luck to everyone and, hope to see you on a pregnant mamma month board soon!
