New to The Bump

Total Newb Here (Heads Up)

Hi ladies! I'm a total newbie to The Bump (I've been lurking a bit...) Just thought I'd introduce myself and try to figure out which boards are best for me.

My name is Ruthie, I'm 23 and this is my first month TTC after a m/c. Still trying to figure out the finer details of TTC such as tracking my Basal Body Temp and CM. I'm hoping to meet some new people and learn a whole lotta new stuff here on The Bump.

 Thanks for listening to me ramble! :) 

Re: Total Newb Here (Heads Up)

  • Hello & Welcome Ruthie,

    I am also a Newbie here on the bump, I really love all the information you can find here. My name is Jaime, and I am 28, I have been TTC for a little over a year. I am starting my first round of Clomid tomorrow. I am hoping for sucess. I just joined to try to find some support, before I go CRAZY!

    Best of luck to you!  :)

  • Welcome!  I have found a lot of comfort in the TTC after a loss board.  For me TTC feels totally different this time than it did the first time.  There is a lot more anxiety.  I feel like the prize isnt just a BFP, it is really taking a baby home and unfortunatelly every BFP doesn't bring home a baby.  Hopefully your TTC journey will be short.  Best wishes.
