  Our current moderator, @Two*True, used to be very active here. AFAIK, she still keeps an eye on things. I am not really sure what the mod position entails.

  Married my wife 8/2007 ~ TTC #1 since 7/2011
  9 IUIs = 9 BFNs
  IVF October 2012: 22 eggs retrieved, 17 fertilized, 5 frozen
  ET #1: 1 blast = BFP; Blighted ovum discovered at 7w5d; D&E
  FET #1: 1 blast = BFP; Missed m/c discovered at 9w5d; D&E
  Karyotyping: normal ~ RPL Testing: normal ~ Hysteroscopy: normal
  FET #2: 1 blast transferred 10/25; BFP 10/31!
  EDD 7/13/14 ~ Induced at 37w4d due to pre-eclampsia ~ Born on 6/28/14
  *Everyone welcome*

  And please someone who feels okay responding to those drive by questions of "I think I might be a bisexual/lesbian but I don't want my children to grow up disgusted by me, and I really feel like all kids NEED a mother AND a father!"  -----   Argh.  It is SO not appropriate to post that crap here.  
  
  (and for the record, I am so glad none of you responded to the last one and it just sunk down to the bottom!!!)

  I don't blame you! I can't handle that either. Punctuation and bad grammar...no thank you!
