Welcome to PAIF!
You did it: you kicked Infertility's ass, and we're looking forward to having you here for the next 9 months. We brainstormed up a WELCOME BLOG** to give you an idea of who's who, what's what, and what on earth everyone's talking about with all the acronyms that are new again, having come in from 3TIF or similar.
On the blog you'll find:
- Lists of weekly/regular checkins and threads;
- FAQs and glossary terms by trimester;
- Some "mantras" PAIFers have found helpful in the moments of PAIF-brain madness (also listed below);
- Links to popular discussion topics, including a spotting poll to show you just how common it is in 1st tri; things to consider throughout your pregnancy; and more.
We have all been exactly where you are and understand the uncertainty that lies before you as you try and transition your brain from protecting your heart from the month after month heartache that comes with battling infertility to allowing yourself to accept that perhaps the other shoe isn't going to drop this time. The future may feel a little shaky right now in the early days, but today you are pregnant.
We encourage you to poke around the blog, read the PAIF Mantras below, and introduce yourself when you're ready. If you need help with anything while you're getting settled or run into any issues while you're here, please feel free to PM or tag the Mod (Ketchup).
Congrats, mama!
**The blog is currently down to protect the content. It is going to require some re-working now that we have migrated over here. Please give me a couple weeks while I get some questions answered, and make any changes that may need to be made.
