Trouble TTC

**January SIGGY Challenge Ideas**

Hello!  January and 2014 are fast approaching!!  It's time for the next siggy challenge :)  Last month, it seemed like "Celebrity Crush from When You Were Young" was pretty popular, but we opted to postpone it to January and go with a festive theme in December.  But I know there are some new ladies on here and wanted to be sure we got an official vote in - plus, we can always have someone come in with a new, fresh idea.  

I'd normally have a list, but with my travel hangover, I got nothin' today.  I promise I'll do better brainstorming next month!  We have grade school celebrity crush...or maybe something with the new year?  Let me know your thoughts!  I'll announce the official challenge theme tomorrow.

And for any newbies, on for the challenge, you put a pic of the theme in your siggy, submit your name to the drawing on an official post (I'll probably do it on the 2nd), and the randomly chosen winner gets a small gift in the mail along with a passport from past winners with words of encouragement.  It's a fun way to get to know each other :)  Congrats again to last month's winner @BlueJoan !


Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility
IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN
IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!!
Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545  -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
Camila Josephine arrived 4/30 :)

  • I don't know what's up with my font...it got all funky half-way thought my post.  Not sure how to change it, so oh well.

I asked for u/s and other tests to see why we weren't getting pregnant, doc just kept giving me meds and telling me to go to his church for a "laying of hands") Stopped all monitoring/testing/temps, etc, Sex became a chore and we started to grow apart. At 12 mos I decided to look for another doc. 02/2013 consult with new doc....3 days later testing began...u/s, all good, HSG: all good, labs: all good, ovulating, etc. Started on Pregnitude. 04/2013 failed attempt for SA, 05/2013 failed attempt SA. 12/2013 SA: 3% morph, abnormal functionality.

  • I like the celebrity crush from when we were younger, I've got to figure out how to do it now. @pcrumley, love it. Steve Irwin is an original one...a smart, funny, brave guy. I was much more shallow with my choices ;) haha
    2 years of trying and 4 months of fertility with injectables. Gave up after mc. Got Pregnant on our own and now due 10.28.14
  • Love the celebrity crush idea, but someone's going to have to post new (and thorough) instructions on how to get a picture into the siggy.  Someone did about a month back and I can't find the post.  I've looked at the instructions that are linked in the forum intro post but they don't work for me.

    I'm on Google Chrome if that matters.  I've tried everything.

  • For me I click on the little man on the right at the top of the posts (next to your notifications),  click on the drop down preferences.  On the next screen on the left it will say signature settings click that, then just copy and paste your picture there.  Be sure to save it!
    Ba hahahaha!

  • I too vote for New Years!  Maybe your favorite New Years quote or inspirational quote for the New year!  I love the kid crush as well, but that could also apply next month I suppose.

  • I could get behind the inspirational New Year's quote, however, I would rather see something other than New Year's Resolution/New Year's Hope because I'm pretty sure lots of them are baby-related and I can't look at pics of babies and BFP sticks in siggies all month.  If we do the latter, I would vote to make it non-baby-related.

    I still like the crush idea, but that would also be a cute February one, what with Valentine's day and all.
