Final January Badge Poll

Hi ladies! I wanted to take one final vote on the top 2 January badge options. I believe someone had volunteered before to make the badge for us because she works in photoshop all the time, but I can't remember her SN - any takers?

Kflynn - are you ok with us both doing check-ins 2x a week? When do you want to start those? 

Looking forward to getting to know the January ladies! I hope 2013 is a great year!

Favorite January Badge?


  • January Polar Bears (61%)
  • January Snow Owls (39%)
  • Total Votes: 41
  • Voting Ended: 12/8/2012

Question from a newcomer...How would you distinguish yourself as someone for a January badge? We will be starting the IVF process next month, but since we are doing PGD testing, I won't have a transfer (fingers crossed everything goes okay up till this point) until 12-18 weeks after we start the process. So...I'm not sure where I would fit in? Probably a dumb question...but thanks for your help :)

Generally if you have an ER or ET or FET in January you are a part of the group. So if you have your ER in January (even if you don't do the transfer right away due to PGD) I would say you're more than welcome to join! And then you can join another group when you get to the transfer!!

Yay, great! Thanks! Yes, next week is totally fine. Let me know if you need any help. I think the process is that we normally come up with a picture, mostly cartoonish it looks like has been done in the past, of the badge mascot and include information like "January 2013" and then the name of our group on the badge. Thanks so much for volunteering!

Yup, count me in!!!  What days do you want to do the check in's ? Maybe Mon/Wed or Tues/Fri? ....Tues/Fri might be good because Tues will be updates from over the weekend and Fri from over the week?

I'm fine with posting a check in on any day...my schedule at work varies but not in a bad way :)

Oh, oops sorry...as for a start date...I've never been on bcp so I'm not familiar with the start times for ladies on that protocol. Would you think it'd be safe to say we can start our check in the week of the 17th?

Yeah, that sounds good. If people are doing long Lupron I'm sure there will be some ladies on BCPs by then, including me if AF shows up within the next week!

Oh and Tues/Friday check-ins work for me. My work schedule is flexible too, so why don't I do Tuesday and you do Friday? Does that work? Since I'll do the first check-in on 12/18, I can start the word doc that we can email back and forth. I'll PM you my email address!
