I think if the whole TTC board experience becomes a little too much for me I would just avoid it. Sometimes too much of it is unhealthy.
I agree with that too. I think the internet becomes unhealthy in general when TTCing....I can diagnose myself with 800 things in the span of one day!
sooooooooooo true
That is so true!!
8am- pimple- AF or PG symptom? 9am- stomach quesy- Morning sickness or too much buuter on egg sandwich 12pm- craving for lunch- again AF or PG symptom? 3pm- tired PG symptom or too many carbs at lunch?
it's all too much, but I wouldn't give up this time in my life for anything!
The love of my life and I are trying to bring a new life to our family. The BIG picture is "we" are contributing new people to the world. And I can't wait to scream from the mountain tops that it is my turn again!

awww have to admit i love this statement...thanks for that
I don't know if anyone else feels this way but jealousy or not without the BFP posts this would be an awful sad board to hang out on. We are all together on this journey and when we get a BFP we should be able to announce it here. I too feel the jealousy and sadness when everyone around me gets pg and it sticks.. but you know what we also need to see the postive stories so we can feel encouraged.
I think I'm the kind of lurker / poster that comes out of the blue.
I NEVER would have posted here if i thought it was offensive. It just seemed like the right board - I read this board way more than the pregnancy one.
Personally - I didn't post often because I didn't have much to contribute. I read the posts to learn about TTC... and it truly helped me. I also switched my ID because too many people in my life know my prior ID.
I 100% understand what you are saying - but at the same time I think this is a good place to post the happy news.
I'm going to be brutally honest. I love the BFPs announced here from the regular/frequent posters.
I however, feel kinda when lurkers/people who don't actively contribute to the TTC board post here. Why not just announce it on Pregancy?
I agree ~ I probably would not post on the TTC board first if I am new the site or was not active on the TTC board first... I would then go to the pregnacy board...
Personally, I know that I am going to read the TTC board and Pregnancy board, so no matter where it is written I will probably read it-whether it makes me upset or not.
Getting a BFP is exciting, and I understand no one wants to hurt other peoples feelings. New preggos shouldn't feel like they should or shouldn't post somewhere. We are all here for each other.
