Weekly/Daily Treads

[doublehammock]

What do we want to see in this group as for weekly and daily treads. Lurking on some other boards here are some things I see:

Weekly: Symptoms Thread
            Appointments 
            HDBD (Wed) - when we get there
            UO (Thur)
            FFFC (Friday)

Daily: Ticker change threads - aka a check in for those who change weeks on that day



Thoughts?

If we have symptoms in the ticker change thread, I think it's kind of unnecessary to have a weekly symptom thread. JMHO.

I will also be running a weekly PgAL thread on Mondays.

[wittyandwaiting]

I'm still a fan of a symptoms thread because we can share our symptoms with everybody instead of just our ticker change peeps and I am pretty sure that you ALL want to talk about my pukes!

I also would like to add Weekend Randoms (or any day randoms) to the list and + One Million to the PgAL thread. (Thanks again jags8)

Haha, love the my husband doesn't get it!

A bitchfest thread?

[wittyandwaiting]

A TOTH (tip of the hat) thread? (Example: goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/53622)

Symptoms thread? Eh, it just sounds odd.

I think a simple weekly checkin for all that stuff is fine. Appointments can go in there too. I mean, we're all going to be tired, bloated, itchy, etc and we'll all be having appointments around the same time. I'm sure we'll be seeing individual threads on the sex of everyone's baby anyway.

A DAILY ticker change is weird, too.  JMHO.

As in Stephen Colbert Tip of the Hat/ Wag of the Finger? Lol

I think by "daily" she just meant that there would be one every day, but each of us only participates in the one a week applicable to us. My ticker changes on Tuesdays, so I would only participate in Tuesdays. If you look at the Tuesday one I did today, you will see I wrote at the top something like "You go here if you're due 4/5, 4/12, 4/19, 4/26."

I never understood the ticker thread change by day thing, but that's just me. I'd rather discuss symptoms with everyone, especially if I am seeing if something is normal or being experienced by others.

Can we maybe have a first timer weekly check-in? A lot of STM's here, which is awesome (I plan on relying on your knowledge ladies!) but it would be nice to talk with others having the first one (I suppose the yin to the BTDT yang).

jags8, love the PGAL one!

Do we want a PGAIF too?

[Ann612]

hey fellow FTM @ismellbooks! Are you also due April 3rd? Our trackers are identical

*wave*

April 3 by LMP, but I generally ovulate on the later side (CD 22–24) so I expect that to shift a little.

ha! I'm the exact opposite - CD11/12. But I think my RE factored that in.  I'm not sure, honestly, the way the weeks are counted is nutty.

I'm glad I'm not the only FTM hanging around here, so I'd love that.

You weren't temping this cycle?

[wittyandwaiting]

doublehammock started a good thing! I took her original post, added everybody's ideas (I hope I didn't miss any), added my own and made this list....

April 16 - Daily & Weekly Threads

Weekly:

PgAL (Pregnant After Loss) Check-in - Monday

PgAIF (Pregnant After Infertility) - Monday

Appointments - Monday

TOTH (Tip Of The Hat) - Tuesday

TTT (Ten Things Tuesday) - Tuesday

HDBD (Hump Day Bump Day) - Wednesday

Healthy Living Check-in - Wednesday

FTM (First Time Moms) Check-in - Wednesday

UO (Unpopular Opinions) - Thursday

Daily:

Randoms, Rants and Raves (please note your preference on this: 1. Daily, 2. One that stretches M-F and then a weekend one, 3. One that stretches the whole week)

wittyandwaiting, I love it! The only thing I'd suggest, because I've seen other BMBs do something similar, is to have one Randoms thread that runs all week long instead of one individual thread every day.

Good call. I've updated the post to include some options.

Thumbs us to you too for getting this party started!

[peanutmuse]

Please only one random thread per week. Please?

[danenikki]

buttercup, I just got to a desktop and I'm loving the new avatar. It's cracking me up

[samesister]

So I'm a total noob to all of this other than some lurking in the past, but how do you ladies find time to keep up with all of these threads? Haha I am struggling to find time to do anything right now. Most of that is due to a toddler who just hit the terrible twos. Breakfast takes us over an hour every morning and it takes like 30 mins to convince her to let me change her diaper. And not to mention trying to potty train. Yikes.. I am hoping I can keep up with you all because I'd love to be a part of a community this go round.

[beyoncepadthai]

samesister I have a trying to potty train 2 year old too. He also isn't the easiest to get a diaper on either. Other than that he entertains himself quite a bit. I usually check in in the morning while we're snuggling in the recliner before breakfast. Then I pop in on occasion when I'm taking a break from puttering around the house. Sometimes I check it on my break at work. That's about it. It's not too bad I can usually catch up. It may get harder as our group grows.

ETA: Welcome!

You catch up and participate when you can. And you don't have to participate in every single thread. I rarely participate in "randoms" threads.
