@chloe97 Sounds good to me. I can see how this thread is becoming painful for you. Maybe we can pick a day and whoever is on earliest can start the TWW and WTO threads depending on where they are in their cycle, and you can take Benched/TTA for the time being? What would be a good day? Would this be in addition to or replace the Monday check-ins?
I don't know how the turns work for starting threads, but I think it would be a great idea to have weekly posts, to manage them and follow them easier.
I can volunteer too.

The only issue with getting rid of the normal weekly check in and replacing it with TWW/WTO/TTA is that this is a smaller group than other boards and we all benefit from emotional support that we get from each other. A lot of the posts on this board are from women who are just dealing with the emotional triggers that come with TTCAL, but are past the physical part of loss as well as the initial just trying to get through the day that I feel like the MC/L board provides.
Maybe we should keep normal Monday weekly check in and start the WTO/TWW/benched threads to post about issues that are very specific to those issues. We are all pretty loose on this board, so it could evolve. I'm also thinking that a thread specific to those working with an RE or thinking about working with an RE could be good. Maybe there's a way to wrap that in with the benched thread since a lot of times benched folks are benched bc they are working with REs.
On the "housekeeping" thread someone proposed to have Monthly TWW / WTO / benched, and keep the weekly general check-in.
I think that could be a healthy middle point. What do you think?
