Hi,
Some of you might recognize me from TTCAL. I have been there since back in January when I had my 1st m/c at 12 weeks. I cant believe that it has been seven months and my EDD is coming up here in the beginning of August. Once back on the road to TTC I suffered another early m/c in April. All of the ladies on TTCAL have been an amazing support system. I want to thank each of you. Its been difficult seeing so many BFP recently on TTCAL. It gives me a lot of hope when I see them and I happy for each women who recieves one yet I cant help but wonder why that cant be me. Its weird I thought it would be easier to see as the time went on but it seems to be getting harder as time passes. I use to look for BFP to read the stories that went with them, now its starting to hurt I guess when I suffered my first loss, I thought for sure that I would be pregnant again soon but that doesnt seem to be the case.
Well if you would have me here I would love to join you all, if you feel like I haven't been active enough of the main board I understand and I will just continue over there. Just let me know.
Thanks Steph
Re: Can I join you ladies here?
Hi, Steph, I do recognize you from TTCAL. Welcome, though I am sorry your find yourself here. It's hard seeing women graduate and wondering why it is never you. That's why I came here too. This is a safer place.

I don't recognize you, but I have been away from TTCAL for awhile. I am so sorry for your loss. I am hesitant to welcome you, as you seem to still be a "newbie", and if you have been an active member for TTCAL for 6+ months your post count would be greater. I wish you all the best.

Welcome Stephanie. I personally do not recognize you, and being a Stephanie myself I usually take mental notes of that.
If you think this side of the board is what you need, I hate to turn anyone away. But we are a pretty tight knit group and some will probably be hesitant.

Thank you so much to you ladies for welcoming me over here. After thinking about it a little more, I think Im going to stay over on TTCAL. I really appreciate that you welcomed me and I didnt want you to think I am ignoring you all but I realized how tight of a group you all are and I don't want to step on any toes or make anyone upset with my presences. Im not sure if I am active enough on the boards to have a place here with you ladies. I was just in a place where seeing all the women crossing over to PGAL was hurting and I thought coming over would make me feel better at the time. There have been so many lately which is wonderful and I am trying to view it that way.
Please don't take this in a negative way as I am so thankful to all of you, as most of you offer such wonderful support over on the other board.
Thanks so much
TTCAL is a great board. GL to you!
