High FSH Playgroup

-- where moms who have built families despite high fsh can talk about parenting concerns and share a laugh.
If you or a loved one became a parent after high fsh, by any means, you are welcome here.
Your moderator is Keiki's Makuahine (Hawaiian for Keiki's mom).

I created this playgroup in 2002 while I was waiting for my high fsh miracle son to finish gestating.
On the ttc and pg boards, I had gotten to know some truly wonderful, amazing women, and I knew

I just couldn't say good-bye to them when I delivered. I'm sure many of you know what I mean.

In keeping with tradition in most web communities, I do ask that you use warnings in your titles

in case sensitive moms need an fyi about ttc and pg posts, bereavement, miscarriage, cancer,

religion, or other potentially touchy topics. However, you will find a link below called Thunderdome,

and on that thread you are free to vent about anything. Invite your high fsh buddies if you like!

The cost of keeping this forum ad-free is about $39.95 every six months, and donations are

accepted via paypal, payable to highfshplaygroup at yahoo dot com. If you don't wish to use

paypal, you can post on the board to Keiki's Makuahine for instructions.

Thank you for helping to make this a quality forum!
