So excited to be on the bump again!

missmarissa711 · February 2018

Hello ladies! Just a quick intro. My name is Marissa and I'm 30 years old. I joined the bump Dec. 2014 when I was pregnant with my son. He was born 5 weeks early on July 11th 2015. I found the month community here to be an amazing way to learn and explore. I am still friends with a lot of the moms I met on here.

My son is now 2 1/2 and my husband and I decided 2 months ago we are ready to start trying for baby #2. December was a negative and same for January. But maybe the month of hallmark love will do the trick

?

Anyway baby #1 was a complete surprise so there wasnt any TTC. I want to just stay as stress free as I can but I DO want to track my ovulation. I have irregular periods so does anyone have any tips on tracking? It all seems so confusing to me lol. Anyway thanks for letting me introduce myself! Its awesome to be back!

Sounds good. Nice to meet you

josie12367 · February 2018

You too! Also, there's a thread for introductions a little ways down that you could copy and paste this too. So then you can meet others that are new to the board as well

You'll notice that most things have dedicated threads. So if you have questions...there's a thread for that...if you want to share while in the two week wait...there's a thread for that. We love organization here, and like to keep our board tidy! Welcome, and feel free to jump in!

ETA: Also, just for awareness purposes, we try to limit discussions of children and prior pregnancies outside of our dedicated "TFAS" /Trying for a Sibling thread and the Introductions thread. Just as a courtesy to those that are experiencing a loss, or are struggling with infertility.

Im sorry I really meant no harm in anything i wrote. I read up top the new member thread to introduce yourself but I already feel like I messed everything up.

My apologizes to anyone I may have hurt

@marisa0620 I would say lurk a bit and when you're ready jump into the dailies, do... but make sure to give support as well as just receiving. You did commit a bunch of newbie mistakes and if I was stung, i can only imagine how others must feel... but I feel like you've realized that or you wouldn't be apologizing. This is a really wonderful group and you'll see that if you stick around and participate.

I've been waiting for this to happen to say that the problem is with the Welcome, New Members thread #4. It instructs people to create a new thread to introduce themselves.

@marissa0620 I hope you stick around! This really is a great group and it's super nice to be able to talk about TTC and seeing and supporting other people's journeys. I was a bit confused at the beginning as well. I've only been here about a month. Definately participate in the TFAS (trying for a sibling). I do! And there are daily threads like TWW (two week wait) and WTO (waiting to ovulate). And there are occasional GTKY threads too. The boards pinned at the top are a great resource for newbies. Lurk a bit, then jump in when ready!

@suzycupcake I noticed that too when I first started here. It was a bit confusing to me too. There are other boards that encourage a new thread per introduction. Although I think this is better to keep clutter away.

@suzycupcake - That rule definitely needs to be updated, but it has to be done by @BumpAdmin. That's why lurking is the number one rule. I read that, too, but after lurking I figured out that there was a weekly newbie thread.
