Hello there! I just wanted to introduce myself to all. I joined The Bump about 3 years ago when I first started TTC. Stupid, naive little me thought it would be soooo simple. Needless to say, I stopped posting and quit coming to the site because it was just too much to deal with after each one of my losses. Fortunately, we have enough saved now and my husband and I are set to start IVF # 1 in March. I learned quite a lot on the TTGP boards back in the day, so I figured I'd venture on back here, wiser this time around. Thanks for having me.
(Warning:: not sure how my sig will appear yet, updated or how I left it 2 years ago. Trying to remember how everything works.) ETA: Siggy still showing old info. New info is as follows: Started TTC 7/12 BFP on 7/27/12. Suspected Miscarriage on 8/14/12 @ 6w1d. Betas checked and increasing every other day. Ectopic found & removed from right tube on 9/7/12 @ 9w4d. HSG Oct 2013 shows Left tube clear, right tube blocked. BFP Nov 2013. Miscarriage at 5w3d. BFP Jan 2014. Ectopic- found and removed from left tube 6w2d.
On to IVF. Hydrosalpinx found in right tube. Oct 2014. Remaining portions of Right and Left tubes removed 1/6/15. IVF consultation 1/26/15. Suppose to start BCP Feb.24, then IVF meds in beginning of March!!!
So sorry for your losses. A lot of the ladies on this board moved over to ****, so you may find additional support there

Nice! Thanks so much. I just checked it out. I'll probably lurk for a another day or so but look for me soon. Seems like you guys have a good time over there
Also, do you happen to know how long it for signature changes to happen. I updated my avatar and sig yesterday around the same time but only my picture has changed. My signature remained the same... (??????) Thanks!
I had trouble with my siggy too. There are 2 places you can update your siggy. I had to go to the little person's head in the upper right hand corner (below COMMUNITY in the banner).
From there I was taking to another page of setting and I had to change my Signature Settings in there.
