Intro (Loss mentioned)

b_echols

Hello Ladies! I just wanted to introduce myself. (I actually was in Trouble TTC and just came across this board). Anyways, we have been TTC most of this year, and this was after a pregnancy and loss, early last year. I believe the fibroids I had were the culprit, so I had a robotic myomectomy to remove them in September of last year. We have been trying to get pregnant since January and have run into multiple road blocks (listed in my siggy). Anyways, we are trying to be patient...in the meanwhile, I think this board is a great way for me to stay encouraged as well as informed.

Hi. I'm sorry for your loss. If you look at the board header for this group, you'll see that it says, "TTCAL6+ is a community for women who have been actively TTCAL for 6 months or more, as well as been an active part of the TTCAL board."

This board is for members who have been active on TTCAL for 6+ months and works differently than T-TTC. You'll be welcomed over on TTCAL.

I didn't see that board...confusing, but I see everyone is quick to JUMP on the "wrong board" train lol

:-? Yes, because there's a reason why this board exists and it would defeat the purpose if we didn't point people in the direction of the correct board. TTC After a Loss is DIRECTLY above this board when you're looking at the board list.

Like my intro says, I am new to the board...didn't even know what TTCAL stood for and saw TTCAL 6MTH+ first and thought 6 months meant time TTCing, not posting/active poster.

Fair enough, but now you know. TTCAL means TTC after a loss, that main board would be a great place for you if you're looking to both give and receive support on your TTCAL journey. Good luck to you.

I call bullshit. You were on TTTC but have no idea what TTCAL means?

Okay, I'm confused my your response here. You posted this after only one person pointed you in the right direction? I'm going to assume that your response is related to the discussion on TTCAL were a very pregnant person went into detail about how scared they were for their next u/s. Yes, that was total the wrong board for that discussion, especially from someone who had only posted on TTCAL two times in the past.  Telling her she was on the wrong board was the correct response for a drive pg person. 

Looking at your posting history (assuming you have not changed screen names since you did post on TTC over 35 back in 2012) it's a stretch for you to say you were part of TTTC since your first post there was only 8 days ago.  That is a pretty tight community and the people on that board usually have very active posting histories that started with them being on TTGP for over 12 months. 

I'm going to assume you were mobile and did not see the header with description of the board.  My suggestion for specialty boards on the bump is to 1) read the header if you have computer access 2) read any posts that are permanently "pinned" at the top (in the case of TTCAL, there is one - it says "read me first") 3) if that board has a blog - read it 4) if you can't do any of the first three, lurk, lurk, lurk before posting. 5) lurk even if you can do the first three. It gives you a feel for the board. 

If you had read down the posts on this first page you would have found other intros that all address being a member of TTCAL for six or more months and would have saved yourself the hassle of intro'ing over here way too soon.  

We are sorry for your loss but TTCAL is the right board for you.
