2 things that have been nagging at me to post for some time now...
Does everyone have the "hot topics" box at the bottom of the Board screen? Mine has had for at least 6 months "Husband weirded out by sex...", "Eating more junk?" and "hungry or stuck?" I have never clicked on these, but I would think that there could be more hot topics that have come up over the last 6 months.
the other thing that bugs me a little bit is those emails that I get each week about how to get pregnant. They really should take the people on the TTTC boards off of the mailing list for those...I know they can't but it's just a tad bit annoying.
Re: Clearly I don't have much to do tonight, so a couple of Bump observations
HA! I get annoyed with the pictures of real women in the hospital after they give birth. Why are they always the same women? Can't we get some new pics up in here?
I think this means we're on this site way too much.
But sometimes I get sucked in. I did read the dumb write up of "what to pack for the hospital." A robe? Duh.
ME:46 MH:44 DE IVF 2014
Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months. Picked a donor!! (10/13/13) Got matched. Estimated transfer in December. After 2.5 years of patiently waiting I will finally cycle....can hardly believe it. DE cycle got cancelled. One of her tests came back positive. Waiting for another donor. Donor picked!! (1/18/14)
DE IVF #1 (4/26) BFN DE FET #1 (6/4) BFP! Beta 1=339 Beta 2=852 Beta 3=9957 EDD 2/22/15!!
I completely agree with you! The how-to and pregnancy tips emails are awful, and their timing seems particularly crappy. And... if you actually click on the husband weirded out by sex post, it's from like 2007.
