This thread was so lovely to read, the support and relationships on the board are incredible. I am so grateful to have this space even though I mainly hang out in the WTO/TWW check ins. I don't know what I would be doing if I was out there all on my own.
I have to give a special shoutout to mikaela20 who is always so sweet, positive, supportive and helpful to the other posters. I've really apprecaited her comments on my boring day to day concerns about GKU.
A couple of grads, LadyNymeria and icequeen were superstars at tagging everyone and taking the time to provide thoughtful responses to questions and concerns no matter how many times they were asked.
joy for being an all around kick ass mod and putting up with all our acronyms. Also for being a fountain of science knowledge.
Aww thank you for the shout out. I hav'nt been on much this week and this was a nice notification to get. You are so sweet!
Echoing the WTDS love. Thank you ladies for welcoming me last summer and helping me get to know the board. It has been so exciting seeing many of you move on to TTC as well!
@led, joy and Rama for helping with complicated question and chart Stalks. I've only had a few but you all are always to the rescue for others as well. Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and insight!
ironbaby you are always so kind and I appreciate your enouraging and supportive your responses
Others I don't really interact with directly but crack me up on various threads all the time @wallflwr926, pippacricket, PepperPottsJ♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪. <---- hope this doesnt come off as creapy!
@littleliverpill for being such a delightful, yet fierce, competitor for the title of Best International Member.
icaughtfire for being essentially my HS twin. (The Used 4 Lyfe)
@led for being so knowledgeable.
queenofcats for having one of the most adorable little girls and also being the literal best mod TD could have had. She could snark you into next week but also be the most patient with noobs and drop some serious wisdom. She is the human embodiment of TCOYF.
Every single one of the ladies from the IF check-in. You are all amazing and supportive and wonderful. You have legit kept me as sane as possible while navigating the stressful journey of trying to get knocked up with infertility. You are the sunshine on the darkest of days and you all find time to offer hope to all of us even when you are the one who is struggling the most. You are all some of the strongest women I have had the pleasure to know: cateyesWdke2010 @wallflwr926 snakefisherbubRamabeckynsean11mrsjenepippacricketjoycjchioDaikokugoldenlove3butlerfanpeaseblossom55emiliedaisy818kleigh wannabmama ******ceejaydaisy818icequeenrooskie and all the other ladies from the check-in who have moved on.

Thank you for welcoming me W . It wasn't easy to jump in to this community but I'm very glad that I did. So thank you all for having my back when I had to switch usernames and making me feel at home.
This also applies to hippo , nachobutt , @hobbesgirl, Sparkly , icaughtfire and all of the other drinking thread people that I miss and love!
Also big shout out to icequeen for all of her kindness and support.
Aww, thanks! Miss you too. Drinking thread this weekend?
I'm glad I found this board. I have learned so much from y'all, and I'm so thankful to have the support through the past 6 months of TTA and trying to figure out what my body is doing.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude everyone that tagged me properly. You guys are the best. The rest of you just get a thanks. Except for @underdog25 because your originality made me laugh.

Oh Rama, thank you. I really needed that. Sometimes I feel sad and forgotten and I'm not going to lie it makes me not as apt to post as often. Your words mean so much to me, truly.
Darcy!!! Rama is absolutely right in that a lot of the newbs who didn't get to know you after the mass exodus have no clue what they missed. You are so knowledgable, witty, and kind! I miss you and all the veteran regs from TD around these parts.
You guys are amazing. Thank you.
I can probably blame a lot of my lack of tagging due to my name change, haha.

I thought of one. I would like to thank pippacricket and Sparkly for vajankles. For anyone curious about what a vajankle looks like I may or may have not included one in the spoiler.
Threads like these are the reason why I feel like y'all are closer to me that IRL friends, even though I have been lucky enough to meet a few of these ladies already (cateyes, ceejay, nuggetrn, ♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪, kaliRN) and hope to meet more. I have so many people to tag bc y'all have made such a lasting impact on me but I'll try to keep it to this board specifically. These women have shown me what true friends are made of by bringing me out of my darkest places and showing me laughter and compassion among the tears and frustrations of trying to build a family.
While I've been gone on my BMB for the past 9 months, I can't shake y'all and i'm so honored that you thought to mention me here. I hope you'll have me back when we're ready to TFAS again. I adore y'all and pray that y'all get everything you wish for in your TTC journeys.

I will never not call you aalv in my head. I am so so glad that we are friends and I cannot wait for the little coffee bean to be born. Love you lady
