PAIF/PgAL Check-in?

[agpjt413]

Hey ladies!

I think we have a sizable group of loss moms on the board & was wondering if you guys would be interested in having a PgAL check-in. I'm definitely active on CAR but even though we're all loss moms there, we're all at a different stage in our pregnancies (except for maybe 3 of us). Thanks and have a great Sunday!!

ETA: PAIF

ETA 2: Doh! I can't edit the poll to include PAIF! So please know that you're voting for a PAIF/PgAL check-in.

Since there are so few of us total on this BMB, would you guys be game for a combined PAIF/PgAL check in? I feel like a lot of our fears and concerns will be the same- and we all know what it feels like to fight a long hard battle for our rainbows

YES!! Definitely!!

ETA: I can edit the question/title of this poll

I'm game for a PAIF/PgAL check in. Do you think once we get most of the board together, we'll separate them or y'think we'll keep them together the whole time?

[hrushka]

I really like this idea (I'm mobile so I can't vote right now).

I'd love it...seeing as I'm already excessively checking every time I go to the bathroom... Also, CAR isn't really for those of us with LC.

It isn't? I have never gotten that impression in any of my stays (all with LC(s)). I've seen LCs mentioned before.

To the OP, I was wondering about this earlier in the week. I am game!

I used to be active in PAL and there was a discussion about keeping CAR for those without LC. And they started a sub thread for subsequent pregnancies.

I almost want to say that there's fewer FTMs on CAR. LCs are mentioned on the board - I know the culture is trying to protect ladies on CAL so there's no mention of LCs there.

I don't think that's how it is now. There was an etiquette thread over there a few months ago about putting LC warnings in and the vote went that they didn't need them (if I remember my lurking right). All the pregnant PAL-ers I know are at least sporadically on CAR now, and there are also LALC ladies there.

I'm fine with keeping it - NariaDreaming?

sounds good to me

Does this include all loss mamas or those pregnant immediately following a loss? I've had a successful pregnancy since my MMC but PgAL fears don't go away

I would think all loss moms. It doesn't matter how long ago you experienced it, it never leaves you. *hugs*

Also guilty. I still can't believe I'm not getting my period.

MH & I were initially shocked (esp since we had an initial RE appointment the following week) but I guess b/c I'm not having MS (which I'm thankful for), it still hasnt sunk in yet. PgAL brain got the best of me yesterday, so I did a wondfo mid afternoon. Yep, still pregnant

I took another FRER over the weekend to calm PgAL brain and actually freaked myself out more, because it was really light.  Then I realized it was the control line that was light, because all the dye went into the test line.  So I think I'm done POAS.

I've taken a wondfo every day since my bfp.

Back on the Dump there was a badge that said something like "1st tri toilet paper inspectors." It always made me lol

[twinkie0612]

Having been through a c/p, years of infertility treatments and now a SCH bleed, I might be Queen of the "toilet paper inspectors." I am up for a check-in. My PAIF/PAL brain is strong.

**bumping**

I'll keep the poll open until next week and maybe we'll start a weekly check-in either the week of 12/28 or after the New Year (week of 1/4)...let me know your thoughts! Also, anyone want to lead the check-in or want to do rotating check-in leaders, let me know!

I think starting after all the holidays would probably be better. Also, I much, much, much prefer check-ins that are open to being posted by anyone that may be on at the time. It makes me feel more involved and less like I'm merely participating if I could start a check-in, but don't have to start it, or wait for the "owner" of the check-in to post it.

I hope that makes sense instead of sounding like a rambly mess. D:


EDIT: My phone can't spell.

[agpjt413]

That absolutely makes total sense Rama!

[dc2london]

totally agree with Rama. I was the leader of a ticker change checkin once and felt really guilty if I couldn't get on first thing in the morning to post it. I am a big fan of check-ins that can be started by anyone
