Hi ladies. I am Jenn. I am already a mom, but our desire for more is there and is as strong as ever.

We are going on month 9 of TTC. My temps dropped way down this morning and the cramps are VERY much there. AF should be here today or tomorrow.

I have been on the TTC board for quite awhile, but its time to move on from there.

I hope you don't mind me joining in.

Hi Jenn. I'm Casey, I have a 2 1/2 yo DS and I'm on month 10 TTC #2. I recognize you from when I used to post over on the TTC board (plus I still lurk there occasionally). Glad you decided to join us. It's a great group of girls on this board!

Of course you already know me from the TTC board. I'm sorry that you're TTC journey has been lengthy - BUT this board has a AMAZING group of ladies - so at least we can go through it together.

We're a pretty intimate group and we all know the frustration and heartache.

Jump right in!

Oh - I'm the co-host with Alicia (Hopingfor1soon). If you need anything, just let us know!

Hi Jenn!

You may also remember me from TTC board. I should probably be moving on to TTC for 1 year +...but I really enjoy this board (and I've had two m/c this year...so technically I haven't been "trying" for a year yet). Everyone is so kind and supportive!

Welcome Jenn!

Hi Jenn,

I hear you. It's much easier to deal with things over here. I'm on cycle 9 as well with an early m/c last month. I hope things turn around for you soon! Is this the longest it has taken you to get pg?

Sadly no, the last 2 were 12 months +

Thats what irritates me people assume since we have "SO MANY" kids that its EASY for us to get pg. But its not.

I have PCOS and we have needed clomid for the last 3 babies. And I have had a total of 8 m/c as well.

Goodness...I didn't realize you have that many angels.

I also came over here because it was depressing to see people post a quick BFP on the TTC board. Especially lurkers. I'm happy for them, but there is a small piece of me (ok, not THAT small) that is envious. My heart couldn't take it anymore. I still lurk and respond to the "regulars", but this is my home now.

I'm sure the ladies here will love seeing all the adorable pics of Bella too!! She'll definately brighten our spirits!

Hello and

!!! I am so excited to have another new member at this board!! I just love meeting new people. Hopefully however your stay with us will be short! I cant wait to get to know you better!

Like Becky said, I am the other co-host along with her so if you need anything at all let us know!

Also you should PM Becky and have her add you to the list of member of the week stuff. That is an awesome way to get to know people and alot of fun at the same time!

I hope you love it here as much as I do!!

I haven't been posting at all much lately, but I am getting back into things. Honestly, I wish the lurkers wouldn't post their bfp's if they haven't posted at all on TTC prior to that. I know they are excited, but I would rather they just go post on their DDC. It's very hard for those who have been trying for a long time to take. That might sound mean, but really it's all about being sensitive to others.

Jenn, I kind of had a feeling you have been down this long road of ttc before. I hope it isn't too much longer until you get a bfp.

KCMomma · #10 August 5th, 2008, 10:13 AM

Welcome to the board!!! I really hope your stay is short! I too agree with the lurkers posting their BFP's. I know I haven't been around that long, but it still really hurts. Next month will be a year of TTC and it's so frustrating. Good luck to you. The ladies here are great and really supportive!!!!

Welcome over here!

snsgirl336 · #12 August 5th, 2008, 12:13 PM

Welcome! I'm Cris married to Shawn and we've been trying for our first since August 2007... I'm sure you'll love it here!! Good luck to you!

Jessica C · #13 August 5th, 2008, 12:21 PM

I'm Jessica (40) and DH is Paul (38) and we've been TTC#1 since January. I recognize you from the TTC board as well. I co-host the Older Members board so I haven't been doing much posting on most of the boards that I used to, but I still lurk around quite a bit. I have to agree with everyone else about popping on to post a BFP and then moving on....it can be quite depressing.

I'm sorry to hear that you've had so many troubles and I wish you the best of luck on getting that quick BFP!! Here's lots of dust for you hun!
