How do you keep track of fellow Bumpies? NIFR

Ladies,

I really really love coming to TB, especially this board, but unfortunately because there are so many of us (man, does THAT suck!) I have a hard time keeping track of you all.  I know there are some of us that don't post often (that's okay, I used to be one of them), but there are us that post more and want to keep up with regulars.  

I thought about creating a list in excel of the regulars and searching every couple of days.  I've tried to remember names/avatars, but they are so creative :) it's hard to remember.  

I do know that many of you are super organized and very creative, so if you've come up with a way to check in on your regs here - would love to know your secrets!

Blood work, anatomy and his SA = in fine shape say drs
Our journey so far:
7/09: BFP m/c 6w s/e/p, 2 rounds methotrexate
4/10 BFP m/c 6w D&C..it was a boy :(
6/10-2/11 TTC naturally, BFNs
3/11: Clomid cycle, BFN
4/11-9/11 TTC naturally, BFNs
10/11 IUI #1 BFN
Have to breathe over next few months.
Feb 2012: IVF #1, max stims, only 3 retrieved, all fertilized, only 1 transferred on Day 3. BFN.
RE says move to DE. DE it is.
DE IVF #1 - 10/29: 12 eggs retrieved, 10 fert. 11/2: Day5 transfer 2 'perfect' blasts. 4 blasts on ice. 11/11: Beta #1 at 9dp5dt = 72.7 11/13: Beta #2 at 11dp5dt: 30.3 c/p :( WTF appt 11/27: RE a little dumbfounded. Checking Thyroid panel again, Hysterogram as well; FET most likely in Jan. '13.have reconsidered a parallel path of adoption.
PAIF&SAIF always welcome

  • I pretty much just recognize people siggy's.  Having a blurb about history helps to refresh my memory.

  • Some of the boards have gone to private Facebook pages. I would think that would be easier being able to put a face with a name. I have thought about the fb thing lately and think it would maybe be nice to have a newsfeed for us ladies. I could be way off and it's just a suggestion of course. But like you I struggle to keep up with who's who, the only way I semi do is by siggys.

    Hehe.  No I uploaded my picture into the Paint program on most PCs.  Then I added my text.  Then I used tinypic.com to resize the picture to use it in my siggy.  Someone that is skilled in graphic design would shutter to think that I used the Paint program as my editing software.
