How did you come up with your username? I used to have pink hair in my teens. When I was looking for a screen name I tried pretty in pink but it was taken. Other variations were taken and I ended up making it the most odd version of pretty in pink.
How long have you been TTC? I came off the pill in May and was NTNP for about a month. Started getting serious about it last month and learned some tricks through another forum. Super dedicated this month. Hopefully it doesn't last long :)
How did you find out about APA? Google searched for a U.S. forum that uses vbulletin. I'm a bit of a computer geek and like this forum layout. Weird? I know.
Anything else you'd like to add? I'm just hoping that this forum has everything I'm looking for. Nice ladies who offer support, advise, and knowledge. The whole American thing is a BIG plus. I'm part of another really good forum, but most of the ladies are overseas and it can be a real drag sometimes trying to relate. Hope to "meet" most of you soon!!

How did you come up with your username? Apis is Latin for bee, and I'm totally fascinated by bee culture; it's a community totally run by women (kind of luck this forum). However, unlike bees, we won't all kill our partners in the fall to prevent them from eating our food (or at least I hope not :) ).
How long have you been TTC? I haven't started officially yet, but I've been doing FAM for pregnancy prevention since last December. My periods are really irregular, so this month we weren't as careful about wet quality cervical fluid, and we ended up DTD a few times during my fertile window. I'm 10 dpo and waiting until I can test.
How did you find out about APA? a search for "early pregnancy symptoms"--I think I had implantation bleeding on 7 dpo

Anything else to add? If you don't know me then you might not now that my baby did live 34 awesome hours and that the APA ladies have been the most awesome people helping me through my journey that started in January of this year. When I get pregnant with my second baby they almost definitely won't have the same disease as Van and I am looking forward to sharing this experience with everyone here. Good luck to all the TTC'ers and thanks in advance if I start to cry I know you won't judge.

It's wonderful to have the support of the board, and to be in a community where people "get" buying pregnancy tests by the handful & being disappointed when you get your period.
Hey Joy, sounds like you're in a place similar to me, just a few months ahead. Glad to find someone to talk to!Quote:
