Cycle Buddies - June

Gunce • Head of research at Glow. Unwilling infertility expert. 2 kids after 6 IVF treatments.

This is just a convenient place to quickly locate a cycle buddy.

A cycle buddy is someone who will provide support and encouragement during the month ahead who is testing around the same time as you. To find the perfect buddy please give a few details about yourself.

Alternatively, read thru the tread and if someone matches your cycle – respond to them directly and tell them about your cycle and ask to be cycle buddies.

Example: "Kathy (Age 32) - TTC: Month 9 - I'm cycle day 20 - testing on 5/25. Who wants to keep me sane?"

Once you find a cycle buddy or two or three - please have one of you start a *new discussion* with your new lifelong friends. The best Cycle Buddy threads have unique names so that you can easily find them

Example: New discussion: "May is our month CBs" or just the date/names of your buddies "CB: Jennifer, Kathy, & Irene."

Also please note that if a discussion between cycle buddies has existed for a while (has more than 100 responses in it), please respect that it belongs to the few women who are participating in that discussion and do not jump in unless specifically asked to join. Having a cycle buddy is a very delicate support system and it does not work if people join in late in the cycle. We really appreciate your cooperation on this.Thank you!

PS. You can have both cycle buddies and instant buddies. The more support, the better!
