  1. FT was my lifeline!

    That started over 6 years ago, and I was logged on literally constantly everyday for over a year. I found FT late in my journey, but everyone was there for me during the critical part and I was even the "chart keeper" during my two IVF's. It was the most wonderful, supportive discovery that I...

  3. Smile Dang, has it really been that long?!?

    I was just sitting here trying to remember when I found FT...and came up with summer of 1998. Maddy wasn't quite 2 years old (she's 14 now!) and I was experiencing secondary IF (after having primary IF)...I remember typing "secondary IF" into a search engine (probably Yahoo! LOL) and FT popped up...

  8. Hi Dave - it's been 10+ years

    Hello, First I want to say how blessed we are to have Dave and FT as we journey through IF. It was such a lifesaver for me during our 5 years of IF, surgeries for endo, IF treatments, pregnancies, miscarriages and efforts to adopt. Talk about a sanity saver! We did find out just prior to...

  13. Hi from New Mexico

    I joined FT when we began pursuing adoption in 2000. FT played a HUGE role in helping build our family - we "found" DS through another FTer who was an adoption facilitator. She helped us match with the birthmother and the result is sleeping down the hall right this minute! DS is nine years old...

  16. Still having fun :)

    It seems the FT email request has brought out many oldies. I last posted around 2005, IIRC. Since that time, I graduated from undergrad, graduated with Master's in Social Work, moved around a lot and am currently working as an Assistant Director of a non-profit. We bought our first house over...

  17. Howdy old timers...

    I found FT in December 1999. I was very active until 2006 when my triplets came along. I pop in every once in awhile to check up on people. My oldest will be 10 in April and the triplets will be 5 in July. Things are pretty hectic and crazy having all these boys, but so worth it all. As for...

    Hi all. What a shock to get the Welcome back email. Once I had my second child I turned off the computer and I just didn't want to think of the struggles we went through. Life was so wonderful, I felt like I had just started living for the first time. I was given the diagnosis of blocked...

    I still post on the over 35 BB all the time, but thought I'd pop an update in here, just in case anyone was wondering. We went through IF treatments unsucessfully, then moved to domestic adoption (nothing there) then adopted from Guatemala. We first adopted Marielle then her biological...

  24. Wow! The e-mail through me off guard!

    I don't talk much in real life about my IF days. Why? Because no one ever seems to understand. I was here a lot when trying for my DS...when pg with my DS and when he was little. But life got busy and...well... My son, Jacob, is 11 years old and in 5th grade. He is a musician...playing the...
