Hello ladies! I am a certified lurker that has come out of hiding before and I am planning to again. Although, as the title suggests I am a little wary as the board has had an interesting vibe lately. Nevertheless, I am going to start charting next month and I would like to start participating again so people will recognize me and I can ask questions and also give feedback. I have read all the newbie info, TCOYF and every other book I can get my hands on. I have been on birth control for 10 years and am so freaking excited to stop I can hardly contain myself. We will start TTC mid-August but as of tonight I will enjoy my glass of wine. Cheers to starting the journey and getting to know all of you better.

I've stepped on some toes at the beginning, but people are sensitive and sometimes we don't realize it. Live and learn and grow a thicker skin for yourself.
The regulars are nice. I've learned so much from being on here. So just have fun and don't worry about any vibes. The essence of this place is still golden.

IT'S A GIRL
Welcome!
Like most of the other ladies already said, stick around, ignore the crazies best you can and you'll be fine! There are a ton of awesome women on this board.
Good luck!
I remember you from before.
Welcome back! I hope that you have been doing well.
Welcome! I'm a newbie, but am rather enjoying my stay here. All the real people are helpful and nice. Anytime you see e-yelling, there's usually a troll or AE involved. It can really be fun to watch!
Welcome & Good Luck!
Ps: We're not all scary
BCP for 13! Starting to try mid July!
Wine for me tonight too! Welcome and I look forward to getting to know you too!

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
Welcome! And we're not all so bad. Just ignore the stupid people
Yay for being a good newb lol. You sound like you've done your homework! I think I'm reading right...are you still on BCPs? I feel like I should warn you (because I didn't know this when I stopped mine) that your cycles can get very weird when you stop BC so don't worry; give yourself a few months to 'regulate'. Hopefully you will have waayyy better luck than me and won't have to be here long!
Good luck and enjoy that wine while you can!
