Coming out of lurking

in Trying to Get Pregnant

Hi all. I'm coming out of lurking after a few months to cautiously introduce myself. I've been diagnosed with PCOS, so even though this is only cycle #2 for me, I've been posting over there. But, I think I could contribute to some of the conversations over here. So, here are the things I've learned from lurking...

1. You can't tell me if I'm pregnant. HPT every week until positive, AF shows, or 60 days at which point I should call my doctor. Along those lines, drive by BFPs are bad (but maybe y'all will get to know me around here and that won't be an issue).

2. Prego is a spaghetti sauce

3. Snark is part of the game. As long as I don't say anything too offensive, I shouldn't be offended.

4. Chart and read TCOYF. I have started charting (on my 2nd month, there's a link in my siggy), but I'm still trying to locate TCOYF. If I can't find it soon, I will order it.

5. Don't DD. Appearantly it messes with the post counts.

6. Google all my stupid questions first. Then cautiously ask, expecting snark.

7. Post and runs are bad...but I'm fixing to cause I have to go pay bills. I'll be back later, though Big Smile Sometimes, it just can't be helped. I do have a life outside of bumping. (sorry)

So, am I on the right track?

Good luck and image to you all!

    Well hello Rena! Welcome aboard!

    My best advice? Just be yourself. You don't have to like/dislike/say all of the same things everyone else does.

    Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
    If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
    it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.

    I have a very sarcastic and dry sense of humor, so I think I'll fit in pretty well around here. LOL. I try to add humor to life, because if I didn't I'd go crazy.

    Unfortunately, I live in a small town where all we have is Walmart. It's an hour to the closest major city, and with my work schedule, I have to plan to make a trip. Those are getting fewer and farther in between. I sent my sister (who lives in NC) on a mission to find it, but she couldn't...she may not know what she's looking for. So, I think I shall have to order.

    I wish I was lucky enough to have a B & N here. I just wish we had a bookstore...Sad
