Request: Need Volunteer To Take Over TPR Check-In!

2MamazInSeattle

Hello all,
As I near my due date, I'm looking for someone to take over the weekly TPR check in. Here's the "job description":

1) Time Commitment: ~1 hour a week (it does take a while to read through and do the updates)
2) Excel: I keep the check-in in an Excel document which makes for EASY management and updates. So knowledge and ownership of Excel is fairly critical (if you don't have it but know how to use it, and that is your only blocker, lmk).
3) Enthusiasm and Attention to Detail: Not that I'm perfect, but I do think it's important to pay attention to people's milestones and also the sad news (horrible to have someone on the pregnancy list who just had a loss, for example...). It's important as well to just enjoy doing this kind of thing - I love it, but it's not for everyone.

I think our check in is awesome and I'd hate to see it go away, so hoping someone will be up for it! I can't commit yet to taking it back over, but if someone can take it for a ~6 month commitment, that would be awesome!

Let me know!

I would be willing to take it over, but it's still up in the air if we will be using 3rd party reproduction this cycle. DH thinks we should use donor sperm and while I would like to try my eggs one more time, if our new RE recommends DE, we might go that route. I guess a lot depends on our consult on Thursday. Can I let you know Thursday afternoon?

Sure, no rush

I would do it but I don't have excel!!! And not really sure I can make the full time commitment!!! Hopefully someone who's been around since the beginning can take over for a bit!! It can't go away!!!!!

I might be interested in helping out. Perhaps @Twinkie0612 and I could share the responsibility?

I had my consult yesterday (sorry for not replying sooner, my evening was taken up by my nephew's nail biting little league championship game) and my new RE thinks my previous RE was a little premature sending us down the 3rd party repro road. She thinks we have a good shot at success with a modification to my protocol. Right now we are doing some testing (DQ alpha/HLA, karyotyping, and immune teting) and If this cycle doesn't work out or one or our test results come back with issues, we will probably move on with either donor egg or donor embryo.

@daydreamer3454 since we are giving our eggs/sperm one more shot, would you like to take the lead? I would be more than willing to help out though if needed. I loved being a part of this board and plan on stalking everyone for updates!

Ok! I have to admit - I'm a bit nervous about this & hope I can do it justice!

Just wanted to say you have done a fantastic job with the check-in!! Thank you!!!

Ok Like @DoublePortion said, you've done such a wonderful job with the check-in for all this time! You leave very big shoes to fill!! But I'm comforted by the fact that @jalara48 and @Twinkie0612 are on standby to hold my hand a bit as I figure it out. I ran one of the check-in groups over on the IF board back during my third IVF cycle. It really wasn't too bad!!
