@septca: I MUCH prefer that approach because it includes everyone and functions as a support thread without the monthly element. To me the hardest part about making it to 6 months is the feeling of exhaustion with TTC so support means more than
What month it is anyway. I do like the lists and knowing where everyone is at but I think 6+ since its a smaller group should just include everyone all the time. Monthly stuff is fun and perhaps we can still be fun and cheeky when we start new threads but leave out the month itself. That way we all truly get to stick together. -
@HeartAbandoned: I don't think it's too complicated if everyone shares hosting and helps keep the list updated. For example, I like the list to be every page other page or so so I don't have to scroll back if I need a memory jog, so I tend to repost it - and makes any changes I've seen - if it hasn't already been posted on a given page.
-
@HeartAbandoned: exactly!
I think if I recall correctly there were seasonal elements that made things kind of fun but I think we can find fun new titles no matter what. Maybe we all just need to vote on how many pages a thread should be before it rolls over. That way we don't have to scroll through a sh*tload to get caught up.
-
OKAY, here's my suggestion: we follow this thread through the weekend. On Tuesday (almost at the end of May), I start a new thread for 6+ months that isn't based on a specific month. It would be up to all of us to create and update the list, provide intros (maybe there could be a very short intro with each person on the list so new posters wouldn't be confused - kind of like the if check in), and welcome new people. At 30 pages someone starts a new thread, pulling the last list over.
Please VOTE: yay or nay. Anyone can vote.
-
@septca: yay!
And hopefully a lot of you won't make it to the new board!
-
@MrsMccarthy: even though these are done by month, I feel like it's actually just one long thread. Once AF arrives, I really want to look forward, so I just do it on the current thread. I guess it still feels applicable because I'm gearing up to O or entering the TWW, which is all part of the baby making process. I really do understand wanting to "move on" though!
I guess I more see this as a support thread, as others have said. And I have often wondered why we don't just keep adding our dates on the end to keep track, since were always in the process somewhere.
-
@MrsMcD: I want to be am IRL,friend too!!!
@septca: yay.
But then who will get the BFP luck from hosting?! Lol
-
@HeartAbandoned: Yes!!!! I'm on this water kick and have been drinking 2-3liters a day!!!!
@Septca: Yay!!!! ETA: but only if the thread has a clever title.
-
3hr hold, couldn't wait to tell dh so took one this evening, he was in tears and is taking me out to celebrate. Thanks everyone for your congratulations.
@Septca: im due 30th jan
My dog wanted to get in on the pic hehe -
@Crystal: to me the BFP hosting luck should either be a shared effort or the most senior person on the board should have first dibs. So in my case I'm the newb so I would happily defer to someone who has been around here a while. I hosted a POAS board in March and it didn't work for me anyway. Heheh
-
@Snowdrop: wow, that's a dark line. Jumping in to say congratulations!
-
@Snowdrop: dang girl!!!! Yay!!!
-
@Snowdrop: AHHHHHH YAY!!! ^{^€{?{>> TICKER TAPE PARADE {*{^{%{> You have yourself the happiest and healthiest 9 months my dear. A cuddly baby awaits!
-
@Snowdrop: Just dropping in to give you a huge CONGRATS!! That's a beautiful line!! I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months.
-
@Snowdrop: hahahhaha love the photo bomber!
-
@Snowdrop: congratulations!!!!
And high five for a baby horse.
-
@Snowdrop: Great lines!!! Congratulations!!! Happy to have you with us in January!
-
@dc yoga bee: I would bet the extra water is related to you not seeing a positive - which doesn't help you pinpoint your O date for your progesterone test...
@Snowdrop: What beautiful lines!!!! Congrats, mama!!
@septca: Yay - works for me!
-
@Snowdrop: nice!!!! Happy and healthy 9 months!
Excited to be preg together! -
@Snowdrop: that is some line congrats!!
-
@Snowdrop: Congratulations!
To all you awesome BFP ladies, please post how long you've been trying and what you did differently this cycle. It would give hope to the rest of us. Thanks!
-
@AmeliaBedilia: that's an excellent suggestion. I live when people do that.
-
@HeartAbandoned: I thought that might happen,so I did a 2-4HR hold and didn't drink anything. Gah lol!!
@Snowdrop: Absolutely beautiful! I am so happy for you!
-
@Snowdrop: Wooo!! What a line!!
@MrsMccarthy: Most senior would mean I'd probably be hosting every.single.month. Not a fan of that idea! *womp womp*
-
@Snowdrop: congrats! So excited for you!
-
Yay, Ladies!
I love the idea of a continuous rollcall, regardless of the month! Maybe a sassy name for late Spring/early Summer? As an end-of-the-monther now, I feel a little left behind when everyone leaves. And as a first-of-the-monther, I never felt I belonged. So, I hear EXACTLY what you're saying, @MrsMccarthy: !
Support is definitely more important. What a great group -
@Snowdrop: congrats!!!
@septca: I say Yay, but I still want cute names
-
Okay. I think we have a quorum. I will start a new thread Tuesday. Please give me creative names!!
-
@Snowdrop: Congratulations!
-
@LindsayInNY: hugs. Well you can opt out or in at any time but my feeling is that you won't be senior long because you are about to be on a due date board!!!
-
@Snowdrop: YAY!! CONGRATS!!
I'm so happy for you!
-
@MrsMccarthy: I so hope you're right. I will be so
when @LindsayInNY: gets her BFP. I have a feeling it will be soon and praying I'm right.
-
@Snowdrop: congrats!!!!
-
I haven't seen one of these in a while so here we are!
Plus I wanted to add SnowDrop to the Mamas-to-be list. Hehe. Mamas-to-be

@LIL BEAN: maybe we Gemini think alike? What CD are you right now?
How about: "Pink lines and pink lemonade: 6 months + TTC support"? I'll float some others around too.
-
Tomorrow is our 1 year mark of trying and I get to "celebrate" by working all day at a job where I have given my quitting notice and then go to my absolutely adorable niece's birthday party. I say this because she is totally a mini me. Then DH is gone all weekend working. Womp womp- pity party of one.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: aww can you plan something special for yourself? Take yourself to a movie maybe or a yummy meal that hubs wouldn't be into? I'm so sorry about the anniversary coming up. I hope it's just the darkness before the dawn.
-
@AmeliaBedilia: aw, hugs!!
-
@MrsMccarthy: I'm on cd27. O'd late on cd21. So, I'm 6dpo.
@AmeliaBedilia: Hugs! Hopefully you can do something just for you.
